    It depends on your riding and traffic conditions. Mileage will definitely improve. Overall willbe between 35 and 40 kmpl after first service.

      For the last few days I have been hearing a rattling noise from behind, every time I went over bad roads. I noticed that one bolt in the rear tire hugger had been lost and the other had got loose. I immediately replaced the lost bolt and tightened the other one. However the tire hugger has rattling time and again even after tightening the bolts repeatedly. Later I noticed that the metal pipe which is holding the hugger has cracked on the right hand side. I informed the sub dealer about the breakage and Asked for replacement under warranty since it may be a manufacturing defect. However the mechanic refused and said I might have crashed the vehicle somewhere.
      Guys any help in this regard !!

        I guess there might be some kind of cover for that hole , which may have gone..
        Can u guys please check and let me know??

        Nevertheless , what is the use of that 'hole'..???

                  Guys, I have a FZ25 which has done 5K+ KM's. But now I have to travel out of country for work and there is no one to drive the bike, so planning to park it until I come back.

                  I will be gone till year end, my dad promised to start it twice a week and let it run for few minutes.

                  Last time I left it standing for nearly 50 days and my dad was switching the engine on twice a week. When I came back it was just fine no issues at all. But now since its a longer period of time I am worried, any advice is appreciated.

                  Thanks

                    If you can afford a new bike wehn you come back to India , I suggest you sell your bike and concentrate on your work. Later when you come back you can buy the new version or some bike better.

                    Just think about it.

                      Does anyone bought fz25 from Bangalore recently. I wanted to know the actual price charged.
                      The showroom guys are adding a Rs4000 extra saying registration and handling charges apart from tax and other stuff. wanted to know if it is genuine charges.

                        Don't pay them a single penny for handling. Threaten with a mail to Yamaha if they try to wind you up.

                        I'd suggest you to get the bike ridden by a reliable friend for at least once a month for 5-10 kms. One year is quite a long time to keep your bike stationary.

                          Not sure if we will get any response from yamaha. For me also it looks surprising.

                          As per one of fried
                          Registration Fees+Smart Card 400
                          DD 200
                          RTO charges 100
                          that comes only 700. Ok let them round off 1000 or 1500 is ok. But 4000 is too much for a 1000 expense.

                              2) Will there be nay modification to the stock parts ? Yes, some drilling into the stock visor will have to be done to screw in the AS200 visor.

                                Been observing some light scratches on black fz25 tank. Need ways to clean and maintain the glossiness. Wax or any other thing?
