Hello All,

I am going to book my FZ25 on 28th feb and planning to take delivery on 2nd week of March 2018 from Monarch Yamaha Pune, i had few queries:

1. How do i ensure that i am getting a bike manufactured in 2018.
2. Secondly i am not getting a test drive bike.
3. any other advise as deemed fit.

FYI, i have made myself well versed with PDI and run-in.

Thanks

Today i noticed a unusual thing with my bike, it refuses to start even after 5 cranks then i opened the tank cap after that it took like 4 cranks to start ,after that problem disappeared. Any one faced this type of issue?

Is there tappet noise after 80 kmph? I noticed today coz I was riding with open face helmet. Won't it affect the engine or performance?

Yes, tappet noise is present post 80 kph. I did my second service today and made the svc person thoroughly check my engine. I have faced tappet noise since the last few days. But he assured me that it won't harm the engine. Will let you know my post-service feedback soon.

Parked in sun for long time?

yes for around 3 hrs.

Yes, you are right. A 10w50 oil will 'thicken' to 50 weight at 100 degrees C. A 10w30 oil will stay at 10 weight cold, and when the engine heats up to optimal temperature, the oil will behave like a 30 weight oil.

Apparently to our Kris123456, cooking oil in the kadai has the same properties as carefully formulated multigrade engine oil meant for high performance engines. This is advanced knowledge for me.

what kind of helmet locks guys are using of FZ 25.I was unsuccessful in putting the W type helmet locker on it? Can you guys shares some pics of the one you use. The default helmet lock which is under the seat is not usable in our India .

The Normal brakes will perform well if the pads are in good condition and it also depends on what tyers you have on the bike . the stock tyers may not provide you the grip and the required handling under hard braking. i will suggest you to change the tyers to Pirelli sports demon or MRF Messeter which will give you a very good feedback and stability during hard braking.

Since you talked about braking , i wanted to bring up the issue of rear disc brakes . While riding the bike if your right leg is always resting on the break pedal then the brake pad will come in slight contact with the plates and will wear off in less than 3000 to 5000 Km . since its a disc unit even a soft touch of our foot will put the rear brakes in contact with the disc plates and might also impact the fuel efficiency of the bike. I do not think there is way to get the brake lever positioned a bit lower than the front foot rest.
So i am making a habit of driving resting my front foot on foot pegs and not the ankle. its was kind of conscious effort for first few days but now i find that my foot do not touch the brake lever all the time and now my minds reminds me if the foot goes on the brake lever while driving . I hope this will ensure that brake pads lasts longer and the wheels are not getting any unwanted Resistance resulting in a better fuel economy .

I was aware about the fact that a lot of owners rear brake pads have worn out so quickly but could not establish the reason very accurately . this is something i only identified once I laid my hands on my own FZ 250.
