    The clutch and gear will get softer as you ride. Regarding the tappet noise, the fz25 is an SOHC with rocker arms at the heads. These rocker arms make the noise. But, they are better for heat management and durability. I would say an fz25 would give the same engine life as your r15. I have owned it for 10600 kms now, and the engine keeps getting better.
    Thank you!

            Can we use tvs apache rtr 200 rear brake pads in fz25? Rtr's brake pads costs only 300 whereas FZ25's cost 1000.

                In that case, is it advisable to use rtr 200 brake pads which can save us a lot of money?

                  Not sure it'll fit, you'll need to check if they're compatible.

                    The best way to start with is share pictures of your brake pads and link it to the RTR ownership thread so that someone could confirm the same before you go ahead with the purchase.

                        it was 900/-, now they have updated the material and it costs 1300/-.

                          Are they long lasting unlike the 900 rupee ones?

                            no idea. maybe someone who has changed on his bike can shed some info on this.

                              After trying both 7100 and shell ultra, I can say my fz25 behaves best with yamalube. With yamalube there is less buss on footpegs and handle bar and engine revs freely post 5k rpm.

                                You are the first person to say this because my friend switched to 7100 and rates it above the yamalube. I switched to shell advance and I find it to be better too. Especially post 3.5k kms. Yamalube sporty premium is a good oil, but loses viscosity after 3k kms.
