    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!

    This issue should not discourage you in getting the bike for yourself. Adjusting the headlight will really make it usable . I never felt the need of any extra/auxiliary lights till now. Get the bike and you will not regret. It takes some time for us to get used to the white light when we move from using conventional yellow lights. But once we get adjusted to it, it will be the best to use.

    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.

    Yes Ankit. The light is manageable, much better than conventional headlights. As i said I never felt the need of more intense light or any auxiliary lights. Please be careful if you are interested in changing LEDs. This will void the electrical warranty of the bike. This being FI, there are lots of electrical and electronic systems working on the bike. You don't want to mess up with them.

      I am surprised that you have changed chain twice in 17K km. I have used my first set of chain for 32K KM and second is going strong after 15K KM. No special care of chain except lubing after 500 KM and cleaning at 3K KM.

      P.S. Sorry for the OT, but couldn't resist.

          Anyways it is not a concern for me, if I can manage with zma poor headlight. In city limits there is absolutely no complaint and concern area is during tours, well I avoid night riding 99% time during tours.

            So wanted to know if anyone else also faced this heating issue near the footpegs.
            I think you are the first member who has complained about overheating thus far.. It doesn't sound right, especially when you only rode it for 3 to 4 kms..
            Anyway, as the svc guy said, keep a check on it for a few hundred kms and see if it passes.. Post some updates on the same later..

              I observed this heating first time when I was travelling to office which is about 11 kms commute. So the heating starts after the first 3 or 4 km is what I meant above.
              More nerve-wracking was that I got a smell of something burning which made me go to the SVC guy immediately.

              As you said, I seem to be the only one who has faced this till now so wanted to know if I should get it checked in the beginning itself.

              The ODO is showing around 60+kms now and the heating has marginally reduced compared to the first ride.

              Let's see .

                This guy is running in his engine. It would obviously heat up more, when I was running in my liquid cooled CBR 250, I felt uncomfortable with the level of heat, every time I gave throttle, I felt like sparks were hitting my feet, that's how much heat I had.

                As long as the engine temperature gauge shows normal, it's normal. Don't worry about it unless you see smoke or flames.

                    Smell of something burning is probably due to the paint getting burnt or 'cured' on the engine and related parts. After a prolonged top speed run, you may also smell oil burning. As long as nothing is leaking or smoking, and no extra engine noise is heard, it's not a big deal.

                      Yes, you are right about the heating, but nothing to worry about as it is in the break in period. My ride too gets quite hot but nothing unbearable.
                      Keep us posted!

                            Anyone installed leg/crash guard? Please post pic if possible. I am not able to find leg guard for fz25 in my city.

                              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.

                              I am also facing heating issue. I got trapped in very bad traffic block in pune, 2 days back. I felt lots of heat at my left leg.
                              Maybe after servicing such kind of issue will be minimized. (210 km completed so far)

                              About look of bike : Look and design of the bike is such a amazing, I saw lots of guys turning heads, slowing down their bikes just to check out bike.
                              God I have made great choice indeed.

                                Regarding heating... it is common in new bikes. I had it too on my fz25. It is fine now. Have clocked abt 700 kms
