Don't get me wrong when I said they are OK, area illuminated by low beam is crisp and clear and way better than conventional halogen, but the spread isn't wide enough for me, my worry is high beam, it's just a dot, maybe as others said adjusting it should give better results.

I think due to law, factory settings for beam is at lowest. Adjusting will help. Have you tried?

I'll post a pic of low beam and high beam later tonight. The high beam horizontal throw is not that good though

The one main advantage of LEDs are during day time. The light looks good as DRL and also one can see the light in your mirror as far as from 1km.

Waiting for adjusted beam pic.

Are you serious? I've pretty much heard "end of the month" since the last 6 weeks!

First, the registrations were to commence before the end of March - Then came the BS3 fiasco.

And now it's moved to end of April?

Show room people are telling still 10 more days whenever i call

I am also looking towards buying a new bike but TB350 seems to be growing on me. Today I test rode Mojo, handling felt to be heavy in comparison to TB350. Wrist started paining. Same I felt with Dominar but slightly less than Mojo.

When I test rode FZ25, the bike simply blended with the traffic conditions of Gurgaon. Its so easy and comfortable to ride it.

My wrist is still paining [emoji21]

Read somewhere today, that Himalayan maybe coming anytime this year with FI and ABS. If so, it would be worth waiting for.

I sold ma tb350 coz of maintenance....its too costly to maintain...changed chain and ball raiser 2 tyms within 17000 kms...nw owner of fz25...its gvng me more cmfrt dan tb...tb has a gud seating posture...bt d suspnsn is really horrible..

Congrats on your new FZ25.

Even I am thinking of selling my tb350 but the problem is that it is registered in Pune. So, getting NOC is little difficult for me.

You wont find much difference in the pictures or video. But trust me in reality the beam throw has been significantly improved. The road was not lengthy enough to give a better picture. You can actually see the light beaming into the building in the picture when high beam is switched on.

On April 2nd I was told that registrations will start once they are done delivering the BS3 vehicles sold.

Today, I was told that they're having to get RTO approvals stamped on my invoice (No clue what that meant). In the mean time I've got messages on my mobile, confirming application and issuance of insurance for the vehicle.

I'm planning to go visit the dealer on Wednesday and not leave until I'm informed of all the proceedings, as they are happening.

The FZ 25 is parked at the dealer's since the last few weeks and so is my money!

All this while you see our fellow riders from other parts of the country getting to take home registered FZ 25s.

OT:
I didn't want to ride the unregistered vehicle, though since last month a couple of dealers were ready to part with the bike upon payment. And now since the last 2 days I see videos popping up on social media, where riders in our city are being stopped at intersections claiming that they were racing on city streets. These riders were adorning full riding gear and mention that they're being targeted because they're wearing proper riding gear.

1. Check proper tightness of battery terminals
2. Check rear fender alignment to tyres.
3. Odo should not be 0 and more than 10
4. Check for any visible damage to paint and seat.
5. Check all fluids level and any leakage.
6. Idle the engine and see it should not stall after warm up for 2-3 minutes.
7. Check the connection of meter wire and nearby area for any hand stains.
8. Check throttle, clutch and brakes smooth operation.
9. Start and stop warmed engine rapidly and randomly.
10. Take a short test ride. They will not allow you before temp registration but force them for atleast a km.

Thanks, that helped.
Today took the delivery of vehicle, will update the details soon. Short ride is awesome! Keeping the revs low for now. I must admit the break in period is really a tough phase!

Thank you so much Nikhil for your effort. I was waiting for this.
As performance of headlight being the only concern that discourages me to go ahead an and book FZ25, your post spreads some light to my thoughts. Being not able to install auxiliary/spot lights, as it voids the Electrical warranty, I was really worried about the current LED headlights.

Now I hope I can live with the current headlight. Please do share if you have any tips for me.

Ride safe brother!

Re: Yamaha FZ 25 Owners Reviews and Experiences

Thanks for uploading head light intensity and throw pics. Its managable and not that bad like my zma. I hope more wattage led bulbs should be available aftermarket for upgrading.
My white fz25 delivery delayed by 2-3 days.

I too got my FZ25 on Sunday. As you mentioned above, the throttle response is unbelievable and it takes all the control in my head to not rev madly during the break in period

One issue I faced was that the engine gets heated after some 3 or 4 kms of riding in Bangalore traffic.

I checked with the showroom guys regarding this and they said nothing to worry and it may take few days for the engine to get set up.

So wanted to know if anyone else also faced this heating issue near the footpegs.

P.S :- I bought my beast at Anurag Motors, Bull temple road, Bangalore.
This is one of the few showrooms which is providing a Test Drive in Bangalore as far as I was able to check.
