      I'm not talking about lower rpms. And also, by stressed I mean, slightly weaker.

        Hi Richu,

        I had raised the handle bar. That had solved the wrist pain problem for me, but the bike's handling took a hit. So I pushed it down again to almost-stock position.

        If you're doing it, don't forget to re-position clutch/brake livers, and make sure the mechanic uses a T-wrench to loosen/tighten the handle bar bolt. Using a spanner will ruin the looks and functionality of the bolt.

        Regards,
        Ashwin Jose

          From which dealer are you buying this bike?
          The Spirit Yamaha, Kothrud Pune, the bike will be delivered tomorrow, they are also offering 50% discount on accessories and allowed me to do insurance on my own which saved me few bucks.

              Factory made. I guess these are for exhaust gas pressure relief and in case if water builds up in exhaust

                      It could be a dent to your handlebar while transportation. The dealers surely will not check for any such defects. Go get it checked asap.

                        Today, i felt the coin rattling sound to be the loudest. Idle rpm also stays at 1000 instead if 1200 now. No noticeable difference in performance though. Someone please elucidate about this noise. Harmful or not?

                              Dude, what happened to your knee? what you mean by "proper range of your knee"? what happened to your leg? left or right? How it happened?
                              The accident happened while I was coming back from Badlapur to Navi Mumbai There is a turn near Ambernath. Due to poor lighting of both street and my bike I couldn't recognize the turn in time. By the time I relalised there is a turn it was too late for me as I was riding north of 65kmph. Sudden or panic braking caused a rear skid and the bike tilted right . My right knee got hit first and I broke my tibia proxima, i.e the bone below knee. This all happened even though I was in full gear. Well rest of the gear saved me from being severely injured. My helmet and my jacket took the hit. Knee guard saved my tibia and further complications.

                              Range is like bending your knee. Currently I can bend till 90 degree only. Max I can reach 140 degree with proper physiotherapy for another 6 months.

                              My suggestion to every FZ25 owner will be please install a proper cash guard, headlamp & tire. The stock tire doesn't have much traction so the rear tends to loose control pretty easily on panic braking.
