    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.
    By adequate i mean good enough to go. I have found problem only when there are a yellow lights around on potholed stretches. Otherwise the white stream of light is actually pretty good in complete darkness. I know there's always scope to improve but then, I'm happy with what i have.

      It does shake though, i agree to that. But if there's a road stretch where it shakes, i presume the best way to go about it is to go slow. I have not found it shaking on plain roads though.

        1st Service is due !
        In the coming 2-3 days My FZ 25 will reach 1000 km .
        I asked the service guys about the service procedures.
        They said that the cost will be about Rs.900/- or Rs.1000/-.
        And I should leave the bike in the service centre for about 6-7 hours ! , If I give themthe bike, in the morning they would give it back in the evening .
        And Any suggestions on the Oil or lubrication materials ?
        I think their are going to use the stock Yamalube mineral oil , is it wise to use a synthetic one ?
        Expecting some advices !

          Somewhere I had read that during first service they will replace the mineral oil with synthetic one. Mineral is only for first 1000 km.

          Please correct me if I'm wrong.

                  Odo-4400kms
                  i was getting 40+kmpl average from the start , now after 3500kms mine also dropped to 38iss.
                  for me culprit is short rides ,first 60 days i clocked around 3500kms ,after that in 40days only 900kms
                  also cold weather plays a little part.

                    I did a 150 KMS ride yesterday, my AVG speed was around 70-80 KMPH ... was let down by the average

                    Daily running of my bike is 80 KMS (40kms to and fro), but only getting 35-KMPL average, bit dissapointed.

                    Do i need to change oil? or something else ?

                    Also planing to lube the chain myself.. kindly please suggest on how to go about it

                    Thank you!

                    38 KMPL is still better, mine in 35 KMPL and daily running of my bike is 80 KMS (40 KMS to and fro).

                      still 35kmpl is great for a 250cc high revy engine.
                      my riding style is different than yours so there has to be a gap in mileage.

                      also fuel quality can be a issue try different petrol pump.

                        Diito..... I have fazer 25 and i did half of Siliguri to Patna at night. I had no issue with headlight brightness doing 100-110kmph, in fact i was pretty happy coming from fazer150. I was riding 1up.
