I know it's very far from reality but it's always good to dream. Yamaha India messed up on this pretty bad, if these people have some pride and dignity they would have addressed/accepted this issue.
I seriously wonder whether Brazilian counterparts will have same headlight issue or fitted with better spec one.

First time I read someone saying that FZ25's headlight is adequate for nighttime highway ride. You must be a dare devil of some kind.

Dear fellow riders,
After a few days of waiting, my baby is delivered in the evening [emoji14]

Rode it for around 40 km, the ride was beautiful.

• Gear shifting isn't that hard as it was in case of few members (Note: I'm upgrading from Passion PRO, my definition of HARD might differ )
• Baby's cry is OK (sound note)
• The ODO and Speedometer were disconnected(?!) and display reading was 0 km

I'm perfectly following the run-in period procedure but faced a LOT of heating issue from the engine. After driving for 10-15 km I could feel the heat through jeans, I was feeling guilty to drive further. After a break of 10-15 mins, I started it again and the same problem was still there.

• Engine oil level is perfectly fine

Went back to service center again, according to mechanics this heating is perfectly fine and that won't damage the engine. But I'm not really convinced, I could feel a good amount of heat through jeans (evening time, atm temp ~30).

Is this issue really a negligible or it is serious, requesting your valuable opinions, please.
TIA

Congratulations for the bike I have the same colour bro and i love it....
1st thing install the crash guard as soon as possible and
2nd thing is the heating issue is normal after 1st service u wouldn't feel any heat..... My bikes 1st service is at 13 November and it became much smooth than new one so u enjoy the ride...... nothing to worry about it.....

Thanks krishan!

Being a showroom from a small town and due to lack of competition, the service quality over here is shitty. I opted for accessories package and paid the amount but at the time of installation they found out that they are stocked out of accessories. Now I've to wait for crash guard, female footpeg and stock FZ25 mirror (current one is from some other FZ )

One more thing to ask, will the heating issue will be minimised over the period or it'll be solved after 1st service only? For me it is getting intolerable, I'll really have to be careless (and perhaps shameless) to drive 1000 km with this issue.

A new engine on any vehicle, be it car, bike, any IC engine will heat due to the inherent friction between new parts that are being bedded in, more friction means more heat, which also means the engine is getting bedded in. Try to do highway runs with varied RPM, high, low and high for sometime and then medium and normal. This way, the engine frees itself up more and beds in well.

In addition to what VJ said,
Try to change oil in first service even though manufacturers don’t recommend it.
This way you can flush out all debris created because of this friction. This also reduces additional debris buildup.

Congratulations on your new ride.

This confused me. I thought oil was changed in first service.

I am from Pune, and bought this beast 3 month ago. As per me following are the pro and cons ( Strictly based on my observation)

Pros:
1. Awesome powerful engine. Low end performance is terrific.
2. Super torque, so no need to change gear all the time in city traffic
3. Amazing milage ( Getting 38.8 kmpl in pune. I am travelling to most traffic loaded area in Pune Hinjewadi to Hadpsar still getting such milage)
4. Looks.. it looks beefy spectacular, and not flashy at all. ( Looks are subjective )
5. Perfect ride and handling. Rear tyre is huge and stick to road like leech.
6. Suspension setup is so nice that you hardly get bump. Ride is smooth and comfortable.

Cons:
1. No 6th gear. Badly miss 6th gear on highway
2. Instrument cluster is too basic. Sometime I feel even fz16 has better console
3. Rear view mirror vibrates lots after 75kmph.. its almost unusable
4. Sometime my hand start paining in traffic while riding in traffic. Changed seating postion but still it hurts.
5. Headlight .. Yes it is weak. Brightness getting from stock headlight is not good.

But I am happy with my purchase, so there are hardly any big fault in this beast.. hope this helps !!

Just one small doubt. My bike has done 450 Kms now. The infamous tappet noise has started. I can just ignore it and continue riding till first service right. Or should I get it adjusted?. I hope it doesn't affect the break in.

I don't understand the headlight 'issue'. Is there one as such? I mean, i do a 25 km highway ride every night and the headlight in full beam is pretty adequate.

My only concern with headlight is that it shakes to much in uneven surfaces and even in plane surfaces it vibrates too much...... otherwise I'm okay with it..... but the high beam light isn't good it projects a very little area and when u adjust using that screw the low beam and high beam both get up or down simultaneously....means if u change the high beam the low beam automatically change...

Hi Bro,
Congratulations on your Beast... How many KMS have you done on the bike and at what ratio? (City Traffic+Highway)

Regards,
Sai
