So decided to look at options and zeroed in on a fix borrowing a Honda part :-)

    Trimmed front Mud guard of Honda Shine and installed. This works perfectly well. Exhaust down tube, Engine head, Oil cooler and O2 Sensor are all protected from the muck with this simple mod.
    Doesn't it touch with crash guard while turning handle? From where you got shine mud guard? Bought it?

      It doesn't touch any other part. Scrap mudguard is borrowed from junk at a garage I know :-)

          Yes. Heated screwdriver poker did the job. The FZ25 mudguard is made first and then match-drilled on the Mudflap.

                    I visited 3 SVCs, they were all of the opinion that the forks and handlebar are bent.

                      What is your next plan of action - have they agreed it's a defect and will replace under warranty?

                        Unfortunately, they claimed that this will not come under warranty. 1300 to fix the bent fork. They continue to claim that I dropped the bike.

                        Looks like this is going to be a long fight.

                          It's difficult to bend the fork tube by dropping the bike, usually the handlebar will be a write-off. Also, if the tube is bent, it is better to replace it than remove the bend. Write to Yamaha.

                            I'll try one last time with my Yamaha contact. If not, I'll write to Yamaha. Hopefully they won't ignore this.

                              Do not fix, strictly replace.

                              Safety and reliability trumps over money.

                              If the front end of the FZ25 is expensive you could try alternatives from other motorcycles, anyhow just make sure to replace damaged components, never attempt repairing rigid components.

                              If there's a bent in the forks then you should get a kickback when counter-steering.

                              If not then I'd suggest you look deeper before investing moolah.

                                I'm pushing them for replacement. Fixing it isn't acceptable especially after my previous experiences with bent forks and the fact that it is a very new bike.

                                One good thing is that they FZ25 has relatively cheap spares since a lot of the parts are shared with the FZ16 and R15v3. Fork tubes cost around 1400 each, if nothing works out I'll have to spend from my pocket.

                                Will there be anything else to replace other than the fork tube? I can't see any other damage, no leaks, although I'll also check the triple tree.

                                Now that you mention it, I do feel a strange reluctance (a slight sensation pushing back) when I try to corner the bike (compared to my friend's bike).
