Re: Yamaha FZ 25 Owners Reviews and Experiences

What seems to be better bike when touring and mild off roading is concerned? Tvs 200, ns 200 or yamaha fz 25? Which bike is better when ride involves standing on foot pegs? Can handle height be increased without much hassle?

For cornering and more smoothness apache, for better looks and good mileage with raw power fz25 and if you want more speed or like to cruise continue at 120-140 ns200 (thanks to its 6th gear)means the top end in ns is more than both Apache and fz25.

I think its excess chain lube. Even my bike had that and I noticed it only after a long ride when I saw a really thick grease drop fall. I guess it might be the lube which is pretty thick and doesn't move when the bike is cold but starts to drip after it gets heated up, like in traffic or long rides. I cleaned the area with a chain cleaner and after that it seems fine uptil now with no new spots or visible leakages.

Adding to Krishan's precise answer, Apache has the highest ground clearance with a short wheelbase, so I think it would be comparatively better at handling mild offroad. My Fz's center stand has hit humps twice with and without pillion, but both were pretty nasty bumps. And I also personally felt Apaches engine to be a teeny weeny bit more smoother and revv free compared to my Fz but I missed the raw pull of torque the Fz offers.

Re: Yamaha FZ 25 Owners Reviews and Experiences

Guys, usually how many days Yamaha takes to execute the recall service request?

I bought my bike from Yash Automobile, Ahmednagar city
Registered for the recall issue to Shreeniwas Yamaha, Nashik city (as I'm staying here) somewhere around 7th of January
And since then I have got multiple calls from Vijayalaxmi Yamaha, Pune asking if I can get my bike to Pune for the recall service. And I haven't got a single call from Shreeniwas Yamaha, Nashik to whom I registered my bike.

Why is it so confusing?

How many more days will it take for the response?

They might not respond at all. I tried the same kind of approach in Chennai. As per YMI sales team you need to go to dealer who sold you the bike, so better call up customer care and get it sorted out. You can quote your registration number for reference, they can check it online.

Hey everyone. I got the bike last week. Enjoying the smooth and torquey engine. I'll reserve my review on it until I complete at least a thousand kilometers. Here's the link to the photo album of the bike with current modifications -

Though apache has higher ground clearance it doesn't feel will do better off road due to its sporty riding style and clip on. I have generated kind of habit standing on foot pegs during broken roads, no roads, pot holes. Looking for a bike that allows me to ride standing on pegs. Dominar, enfields do allow that but are too heavy in weight and out of my budget..

All 3bikes are approximate same in weight, ns is a little 3kg heavier than both & I sorry but I can't help you with your requirements you should try by yourself go take all 3 bike and ride it as per your taste...but maybe fz is more suitable for your kind of riding style cause you can't ride it like that with clip on....

Yes, you could be right. From the brief test ride I had of the RTR 200 its handle bar was pretty twitchy and very reactive to even small inputs, which made the bike feel a little less stable at slow speeds but should be fun on open and curvy roads where you feel a sharper response and more connected. Whereas with the Fz I can ride at dead slow speeds without keeping my feet down at all and feels much more stable. Though if you are into curvy roads, I find the Fz a bit dull compared to my old RTR 160. I just don't get much feedback and don't find it confidence inspiring to lean as much as I used to. The launch of the ABS+Pirelli for RTR is also a pretty decent deal for the price they are offering it for.

Excessive application of chain lube...!
That's the only reason.

Re: Yamaha FZ 25 Owners Reviews and Experiences

Hello to all Fz25 owners. This is my first post. I'm interested in buying Fz25, but reading throughout the pages one thing is pulling me off. i.e tappet sound and coin rattle sound. Earlier I had Karizma R (recently sold). I test drove one, liked it. Is the issue resolved in 2018 batches. Kindly suggest will it be a wise choice to buy this beast.

The issue is one which will not bother you if you choose to ignore. No effect in performance. Mind blowing bike to ride. Probably the best bike in India right now. Go get it.
