520 might be possible, I'm checking the countershafts of the FZ and XT250 currently. But may I ask why 520? I think 428 is good enough.

Can you post a picture of the FZ25's front sprocket alone?

Hello. Have you used them? I need to purchase a set of tyres. So could you let me how you came to the above conclusion..I just want to know so that I can make a good decision. Thanks

I haven't personally used them but have heard a lot of good things about them in the RTR 200 forums.

I own an RTR 200. If I had been on a job (college student now), I'd have changed to Pirelli AngelCT on day 1 (you see... I can't ask my parents for new tyres for a brand new bike) of buying the bike. Even now, I'll be switching to them when the stock tyres wear out.

Post your question (Masseter vs Angel CT) in the RTR 200 forums and you'll get a more clear answer. Pirelli Sport Demon is a cost effective alternative.

When I got the bike, the coneset was too tight and caused the bike to wobble badly. Perhaps this had a role to play? Does a bad setting of the coneset cause the handle/fork assembly to be tilted to one side while the bike tracks straight (at higher speeds, say 25kmph+)? Asking because so far I have only read about the coneset being an issue when the bike pulls to one side or causes the front end to feel 'loose' and produce noise.

Is it solved? I think bad bearings can cause the front wheel to wobble as well. But clearly, there is some problem as you have mild left arm/shoulder pain - one side of the bar is fighting and your left arm is fighting back.

The SVC is supposed to adjust the steering race adjuster at 1st service (it will get slightly loose in many vehicles).

Does the handlebar "fall" freely to both left and right from straight-ahead position on main stand? There won't be a tak tak sound unless the race is very loose. It might be unevenly worn - that is why the bike pulls to one side when riding slow and when the speed increases, your left arm fights it to maintain straight-line?

Long ago, for one the GS'pians, the front suspension problem was solved by complete dis-assembly, re-assembly & proper tightening of fasteners of the front-end - keep it as the last thing if any specific is found.

It did become better after I loosened the clamps and pushed the forks up and down, but not entirely fixed.

Strange thing is that my friends don't feel it at all when riding my bike. This is making me think that it is my brain playing tricks on me. I'm yet to go to the service centre for this though.

I found that holding the right side on the grip and the left side at the edge of the handlebar (partly on the bar end) makes it feel better.

EDIT - on the main stand, at straight ahead position, the handlebar stays put. I can feel a slight resistance to movement on both sides. Pushing it slightly to either side lightly won't make the handlebar go to the end fully, due to the resistance it stops in the middle. Coneset a bit too tight?

Exactly what you did with your Gixxer. Is the standard procedure to pump forks up and down? But if you didn't loosen the steering stem nut (not the castle one, the one above it), the misalignment might still be there.

Standard procedure as I heard from some mechanics is to loosen the front end fully except for the upper tree pinch/clamp bolts and pump the forks several times. With the Gixxer I couldn't loosen the steering stem nut due to space constraints and not having appropriate tools. I did loosen it for the FZ though.

The coneset may be a bit tight (?), I've described it in my previous post. Shouldn't the handlebar move freely without resistance [MENTION=33190]ashwanth.r[/MENTION]?

Re: Yamaha FZ 25 Owners Reviews and Experiences

Can anyone out of those 14 people answer to me how a 250cc bike returns a fuel claim of 45+kmpl? The most I've seen on this bike is a mileage of 41kmpl when ridden on highways and about 36kmpl in heavy city traffic.

Ride like a middle aged man, (occasionally like a teenager). i'm also getting 42-44kmpl. 2880km odo. i have been keeping a record from first day. and so far i have ridden 2880km on 68.799 ltrs of fuel. last refueling was done on 2875km ( of 400rs, 4.932 ltrs). i refuel every time bike reaches reserve or it gets close to it around every 230-240km . that means -

2875/68.799 = 41.7 km/l. and this is without counting (2+ 4.9 ltrs) of fuel still inside tank. bike can still go 200-230km more so that will increase mileage to (2875+200)/68.799 = 44.69 km/l.

one thing to note, never lug the engine and always ride on proper gear and shift properly. also don't ride clutch and make sure air pressure is proper 25f/29r. also i ride solo 50% city/ 50% highway so that helps.

Yes, it should be as free as it was in your Gixxer/Unicorn. Too tight in the long run will damage the bearing. One rare defect from factory is the bent vertical pipe of the lower T, i.e., not exactly 90 degrees to the lower clamp as it should be.

I got 46kmpl full tank to full tank on the highway maintaining 60-70kmph all the way. Shifted at 4500rpm and accelerated gradually (but it is very hard to control the wrist honestly). Very less wind on that day, it was a pleasant day (25°C) and I was riding solo.

In the city I get 31-33kmpl as the traffic here gets really heavy with 1st and 2nd gear being used heavily.

I found these options (I think they're the same, just cheaper on Amazon) if anyone's interested in trying it out-
