    I really wonder about this particular issue. I do 45 kms of highway rides everyday, touch 120 kph everyday. Never have i felt the engine stressed, never have i faced vibrations. And i bought the bike last September. So i really, really wonder. It could be a production cycle defect though. Every cycle of production has a bell shaped curve in terms of output quality. May have​ been that.
    I know the difference because I have experienced a smooth vibe free Fz 25. The vibe adds to the feeling of being stressed whereas the engine is not actually stressed since it rapidly continues to climb even north of 110kmph. And yeah, even I feel its just a few of them that's affected, since vibrations were never reported as an issue for this bike.

Have you experienced any loss in power or weakness in any rev band? If no, you're fine. My bike is at 2900 kms and even though the tappet noise is present, i enjoy it's awesome ride more, everyday.
      Problem is the bike won't Rev freely as i have seen in many videos. Also after 7k rpm the vibes become too much so that I refuse to ride above 100 kmph. But before 1st service the vibration at 5k rpm was too much. That reduced a lot after 1st service. But tappet noise became more and evident while riding above 5k rpm. Hope they'll get rectify in 2nd service or else I'll write to Yamaha

          i would recommend to clean the effected area properly,make sure you dont leave any traces of oil

          Ride for 5 min and leave bike for some time for oil to settle down
          if leakage occur,it would due to a loose fitting or a gasket

          else its an oil spill which happened during tightening of tappets

                clean it with dry cloth,then see
                somtimes water cannot clear the oil

                looking at the pic seems like the gasket is damaged

                check once and go to svc
                it would cost around 20-30 rs

                as of now,if a considerable amount of oil has come out,replace the oil earlier than the specified interval

                  thanks got your point... i will svc tomorrow probably... and it's there fault actually if they ruined my gasket while fixing the tappet.. still I don't mind ₹20-30 but still....

                  also I'm attaching a pic before wash... when the oil was originally there...

                        I was having a slight loss of power in between 50 to 60 kmph. Cleaned the chain thoroughly today. Was surprised to see the amount of sediment and particles coming out. Then applied Motul C1. Believe me, the feedback from the rear tyre and chain is just like the day i bought the bike.

                            In 5th gear. But it's gone. It was entirely due to chain slack and dirt.

                                i think yes... the oil wasn't leaking... I could see only minute oil over there... not proper leakage.... like even after riding 25 kilometres for 30-40 minutes... there wasn't any leakage...

                                manager umm.. I thought this would be cheap to ask for replacement for this... [emoji14]
