No separate locks. Just using the hooks found under the rear seat, to lock the helmets. Its not perfect, as it can fall on the side (and cause minor damages), if someone moves/pushes the bike.

Ya the problem with that is people can just cut the strap and take it away. I park in a public place so not safe for this.

I prefer to carry the helmet with me in most of the situation, as it also helps to keep it dust free. But in rare situations where I can't, I use a good quality bicycle to tie it to the handlebar and keep it on the tank (Lesser dust enters into it and no scratches on the bike).

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.

The reason has been posted on Yamaha SVC's and Yamaha has also circulated the same.
Its because people tend to place foot slightly on the rear brake pedal.

My third time asking - Do we have a whats app group for Fz 25 owners ?? has anyone in this blog created any such groups ??

There is already a Whatsapp group that was created. Search the forum for the link.
I am not sure how active it is.

Me too had changed the brake pad but I don't have the habit of placing my toes on brake pedal,actually I don't use rear brakes unless at panic situations.

Replace the Nissin Brake pads with BYBRE ones.. Simple solution.. [emoji6] Nissin brake pads are costly and dont last long as the nissin pads have thin material for padding..

Re: Yamaha FZ 25 Owners Reviews and Experiences

Can we start a list of all major problems faced in the fz25? Will be of great help i guess. Mine is vibrations in the left footpeg at 5000 rpm and above.

Re: Yamaha FZ 25 Owners Reviews and Experiences

Well I completed 5000 kms yesterday. Very very happy with the bike !!!!
Basically either bikes can be revved hard to get power in top band or can't be revved that hard!! Fz25 is the latter one. It's a beautiful bike for economy and comfort rather than the power churning high revving maniac. If anyone wished for a engine that is a bit detuned for economy and comfort rather than super tuned for raw power this be the bike for you.
With good helmets and gears there is no vibrations or tappet sounds percievable to make one not comfortable, it's not an inline 4. Yes the headlights are a bit weak and one would need aux lamps to seriously tour at nights. 110-120 kmph is a piece of cake for the bike. In fact it will make you see 100kmph a lot . It's too quick to reach there.
Right amount of engine oil reduces tappet noise significantly. Using shell AX7 might be contributing to it. Proper lubrication and chain slack is key to smooth gear shifts. Stock mirrors are useless....got the TVS Apache mirrors.Tyres are okay for dry roads but miserable in wet and muddy conditions. Instrument console is very prone to scratches from dust. Mudguards are useless.....sometimes mud gets as far as the bottom of the fuel tank . But everything else is going good. Have been pretty much fill in the fluids and ride away kind of experience but maybe as it's too young.
And yes if it had a sixth it would be one damn super godly bike from heaven and yammy didn't do that to make sure others in the game dont feel hopeless hahaha. But anyways heaven is a myth!!!!

Agreed! It's a damn good bike for city use, that makes me want to ride it everyday, which never was the case with my previous 200NS.

Btw, are you using the Shell AX7 for your ride? If so, how good/bad is it compared to Yamalube?

My bike has no such vibration, except for at one particular RPM spot, which I believe every ride will have within a certain range. And, I don't think many has this issue, so it should definitely not be a major problem. Have you checked your chain slack? In most cases, it is the culprit w.r.t to vibrations found at the footpeg, under tank area etc.,
