Glad to see you enjoying the bike. Here's a few things you can do to improve its cruising capabilities -
1- Get a windshield from AS200 or Fazer.
2- Get better tyres, your riding experience will shoot up. Braking, cornering and stability all improve by a lot. Go with Mrf Masseter or Michelin Pilot Street radial if willing to spend a bit more.
3- Go to your local seat guy, ask him to plonk an inch of foam. The comfort level improves.
4- If you are not obsessed with spirited city accelerations, over gear the bike for a better top end and relaxed highway rides. But don't fiddle around, visit an expert and experienced mechanic.

From which bike do we take the rear sprocket? I too want to over gear it. 42 teeth sprocket would suffice.

Do u notice the vibration when accelerated from 45 in 5th?Does your tank also vibrate in that rpm range?

This was what happening in my bike and it was due to the chain sprockets. Now, after replacement, the bike just rides like new.

I paid attention to the vibration on my commute to work this morning.
There is barely any vibration post 4krpm.
I found the most vibration in the 2-3rpm range.
When I am riding a little too slow for the gear.

Regarding the handle, is it vibrations or wobbles?

Ok, so I do not completely understand how to classify the feeling on the bike as to vibration or wobble.

It feels like a classic 350 in the 2-3 rpm range if that helps.

I had a friend join me on a ride and in the city, he could see the handle shake in the 2-3rpm band.

I'd probably be wrong. But check chain slack once. It may be too tight. If so adjust to 4cm slack

How to stiffen rear suspension?

Alright, I got it back from the service center a couple of weeks back. I'll adjust the chain slack and then see how it rides.

Thanks!

Yeah. The mechanics there keep it at 3cms because they are used to the chain slack in fz150. They actually refuse to listen despite me showing them the info on the manual

Re: Yamaha FZ 25 Owners Reviews and Experiences

Anyone tried Liqui Molly FS 10w40?
It's rated API SL, which is the recommended rating for our bikes. SL has stove zinc added to it, unlike SM and SN ones.

So it's both vibrations and wobble. Try leaving the handlebar when riding and see if it wobbles. Also, does the handlebar feel light? As in, does it lose it's line over bad stretches or hard braking?

An update on my bike-
I visited 3 SVCs, they were all of the opinion that the forks and handlebar are bent.

Shanx, did they/you finally replace the forks/handebar/T ?

Re: Yamaha FZ 25 Owners Reviews and Experiences

Anyone using saddlebags on their bike? The viaterra falcon are looking really good to me. 38L is fine by me but im not sure how comfortable a pillion would be. Would really appreciate some inputs on this

Re: Yamaha FZ 25 Owners Reviews and Experiences

I am taking fz25 for 1st servicing tomorrow. I guess the company recommended engine oil is not available here. So, can anyone suggest me decent engine oil for this bike?
Company recommended is fully synthetic yamalube

Re: Yamaha FZ 25 Owners Reviews and Experiences

Hey no worries bro...last time I went to replace headlights....they had sporty premium....800ml cans...ratopul surely has this . Go with it as fully synthetic shell is not recommended by me at the cost of npr 4000 . Shell Ax7 is better then fully synthetic for me. But since they have started stocking sporty premium ...go for it.

Re: Yamaha FZ 25 Owners Reviews and Experiences

Guys, the hard gear shifts are starting to annoy me now. Everytime I take it to the service centre and report it.. they tighten and adjust the clutch and that's it. Their excuse.. the clutch gets loose over time. But hardly a week into their fix and the same damn issue.. gear shifts get hard and notchy like hell.

Of late the bike sometimes won't slot into a gear or will shift a gear even on a quarter movement of the shifter without the shifter registering into a notch.

These vague gearshifts are now really getting on my nerves and these service guys can't seem to fix it.

On my last visit they've been saying it's a known issue with the FZ25 but Yamaha hasn't issued any directives to them about it other than adjusting the clutch setting
