    It is simply out of curiosity! I'm not better than Yamaha designers, but I just want to know the science behind everything rather than just enjoying the application of it.

    Riding is not just a skill, it's an attitude

      I understand your feelings but, whatever we do we can't beat them because they also do their homework or jus like u said "science behind these" that's why, if the company says to use FS and you r trying or thinking to use SS no body stoping u its upto u , u can use it then you'll know which is better...that's the only way to find out...

        I was going through some studies on engine oils and found this article
        Synthetic oil vs Mineral oil | Team-BHP
        https://www.team-bhp.com/advice/synthetic-oil-vs-mineral-oil
        Synthetic engine oil offers far superior lubrication as compared to conventional mineral-based oil. Mineral engine oil is almost entirely natural while synthetic oil is the product of chemical preparation ...


        it has clearly mentioned, " Synthetic oil, with its superior lubricating properties, hinders the running-in process and is best used only after 10,000 – 15,000 km."

        AFAIK, SVC replaces the mineral oil with synthetic one during 1st service. Isn't it quite early according to the article? Or are there any other theories behind it?

        Is there any "semi-synthetic" option available as a midway, and how would it be?

        Moderators and experienced people need your expertise here!

        TIA!
        Yamaha has mineral oil too.
        They ask you to go for synthetic oil because they make 3X more on it. But manual says mineral oil.
        Choose as you like. Should not be a very big deal.

          What you read is correct. Yamaha fs is not actual fs oil. Put any lable on it who will come to know. I feel its like mineral only because the oil didn't last any more than 2.5k. Its good till 2k only. 2nd service was after 4k but oil went very bad at 3k only. I got my service done at 4k odo. Now will be changing oil in 2-2.5k.

          Company recommend to run for 5k. It won't stretch till that at all. Engine loves new engine oil. Change early and your engine will be happy.

            Probably that's why motul fully synthetic oil 7100 didn't suit this bike

                I'm using it. Increases vibrations

                  Hey guys, Im struggling to choose between two bikes the RTR 200 and the second is FZ25. I love the design and dynamics the apache has to offer but I cant get over the torque this yamaha has to offer.

                  Long story short, Im planning to buy sometime in January 2018. And as everyone else I desire good quality in my first bike.

                  I have seen this on almost all FZ25s, the exhaust pipe connected to the engine head is always reddish brown. Like its gonna rust real bad. (See attached picture)

                  Since I stay close to the sea in Mumbai, Im worried about the metals on the bike catching rust too easily.(the wind is corrosive) I'd like to know from current owners if this actually could be a problem. Does your bike too have the reddish brown coat on the pipe? I have seen it in the showrooms it is supposed to be black in colour.

                  Cheers.

                    That is baked mud, not rust. Removable with some rubbing.

                      Quality wise, value for money, refinement wise Apache is better bro. I'm not happy with the built Quality offer by yamaha on Fz25, the fit and finish of some parts is very very bad the front mudguard,headlight etc shakes a lot even when u accelerate it on double stand... But the looks of this bike is so better than Apache in my opinion...I don't like Apache front portion but I like the colours offered by TVS.......I wish Yamaha fz25 had that Matt grey colour...I love that colour...

                        My bike doesn't have this reddish silencer pipe cause I didn't face the monsoon with it but yeah if u clean your bike time to time that may not be a problem....but these kind of silencer pipe material isn't long lasting...my friend have a old hornet and its silencer pipe is get rusty in just 2½ years ...😂😂😂

                          That was exactly my first assumption. But its weird that there is mud that high up the silencer pipe. And there are no signs of mud on the other parts close to it.

                          I just found it really weird. But I assume if you own the bike, you know better. I will confront the dealer with respect to this. Perhaps, the fazer250 will not face this mud issue.

                            Because front fender is high on rear side and tyre sprays all dirt and mud directly to pipe which get baked due to heat. I have removed baked mud many times with scothbrite and it becomes as good as new.

                            Due to engine cowl fazer will not have this issue.

                              Hi Krishan, I agree with you the yamaha does seem to lack quality in the bike but its the motor that we're paying for and I'm sure you have no complains with respect to the engine, its just that good. I dont know why there are vibes in your bike maybe you should get this examined. Maybe tighten a few nuts.

                              The hornet has never been in my good books. While I'm no expert, the bike never felt right especially coming from honda's house. I'd prefer the Unicorn over the hornet. [emoji14]

                              I guess powder coating the pipe might help it get longer life but again the heat dissipation might be affected. Im not too sure if it will affect performance.

                                The Vibes are not just in my bike dude its almost in every Fz25 at the speed of 70-80 there are gives the headlight shaking is common in every Fz25 and the front mud guard is fully tightened but its lack strength bro....but I'm satisfied with the looks and the power I need it's ok.for me ....

                                I have a question "does Yamaha svc charges for FI check up in free services period"...they charged my friend Rs.100 for FI checkup during its 2nd service..any one know about it....
