Re: Yamaha FZ 25 Owners Reviews and Experiences

Does anyone tried any other fork oil other than yamalube? My fork oil seal and fork oil needs to be changed. Our recommended grade is 10w but few friends sugessting me to go for motul 20w. Suggestions please!

Re: Yamaha FZ 25 Owners Reviews and Experiences

I went for mixture of 10w and 20w motul fork oil. Wanted to achieve a result of 15w. There is a website that calculates the volume of oils to mix to achieve a particular viscosity.
Now my front suspension is stiffer. Better around corners as it's more stable, but worse on broken roads.

Re: Yamaha FZ 25 Owners Reviews and Experiences

Thanks man!! I was in confusion of going to 20w or 15w. I think I saw some oil with 15w grade. Dont remember well. Anyway im planning to go with motul 20w. Will update once done.

FZ25 Visor

I recently bought a Pulsar AS200 visor for my FZ25 and drilled 2 holes to align it with my old visor. But, there are still two holes on the sides which we are supposed to attach them to the screws near the forks. But, I am not too keen in disturbing the fork screws. Have any one got another idea to stabilize the visor without movement?

Re: Yamaha FZ 25 Owners Reviews and Experiences

Overall I have bad experince with Yamaha FZS motobike.

I bought Yahama FZS in August 2014.

Got overall 3 service every year.

Driven 10,200 Km, mostly in city and sometime NH road.

Just after last servicing (Mid oct 2018), the bike started jerking frequently.

Taken bike to the servuice center and they said the Piston and Valveneed to change. And came to know from the mechanic that this is most common issue with FZS.

Although, I already taken extended warranty, but the service center refused to replace Piston and Valve and asking for around Rs 8,000 + Labour & Service charge.

They are showing manual and saying that you need to service your bike in every 70 days.

Honestly, it's possible for anyone to send bike for servicing in every 02 month.

The funniest part is, their system is showing only 8 service record into their system.

When I cross check with the service bill, then I came to know that 4 record was not entered by the service center on Yahama Portal. And now, Yahama customer support saying, they can't do much. I sent the service bill copy as well as proof to show them that how their system works. Now, they are asking for Service record copy screenshot. No wonder, how their portal system fails to record service record.

Thus, my suggestion is NOT to buy Yamaha FZS.

If you can buy it only if:

You can take the motorbike to the service center in every 70 days.
Make sure that all your service done are entered to the Yamaha portal.

Hi.. Anyone has installed mud flap or extension on front Tyre guard?? If so please let me know

Wrong thread, the 150cc FZ has a separate thread.

FZ25 requires a service every 6 months.

Re: Yamaha FZ 25 Owners Reviews and Experiences

Approved and merged with ownership thread for quicker resolution. Kindly share pics of the visor for better visualization.

Corrected!

Re: FZ25 Visor


This is what the airfilter looks like at 10k kms. Affected acceleration noticeably.

Perhaps you can use a custom clamp to connect it to the handlebar clamp.

Re: FZ25 Visor

It's a relatively low cost item. Easy to replace. Mine also looked similar. Chances are your fork oil and brake fluid is also dirty and need replacement earlier than recommended intervals.

Re: Yamaha FZ 25 Owners Reviews and Experiences

20w will make it really really stiff. Let us know.

Re: FZ25 Visor

My friend complained of slight sluggishness. It was the air filter as I suspected. Luckily I had bought a spare.

Fork oil I think has to be changed in his, it's bottoming out easily now. Brake fluid looks fine.

Re: Yamaha FZ 25 Owners Reviews and Experiences

I bought fz25 recently, it has only hit 100kms on my odo. I have experienced this odd throttle response sometimes.
When I am in idle throttle and suddenly blip throttle my little amount, the response is laggy. It happens 2 out of 7 times

Re: Yamaha FZ 25 Owners Reviews and Experiences

Totally normal. Don't do it though.

Re: Yamaha FZ 25 Owners Reviews and Experiences

Won't try during engine break-in periods
