    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
    Again it could be tight chain

      But how do I tell for sure? Wouldn't they have checked it by now at the service centre if it was suspected?

      I really don't feel like bothering with them to be honest so if there's a fix I can try, can I adjust it or get it adjusted locally from a local mechanic?

        Get the chain slack adjusted by a mechanic according to the owner's manual. Then clean and lubricate the chain. Also, drop a few drops of gear oil into the clutch cable.

          I have some very good (or very bad rather) experience with the chain of my bike (not FZ25 though). Spent half a day in the SVC and could not get my chain noise fixed and set to correct slack. Every setting they made gave came with an issue (stiff ride, heavy chain noise starting from 30 kmph to mention a few.... and also hard gearshifts, especially while downshifting). Tried a few mechanics – nothing improved. Finally my dad and me took the issue in our hands and voila..... fixed it!!

          The SVCs tend to keep the chain tight because the chain will get loose anyway and if they keep it at the correct slack, people will come to correct the slack every now and then and those guys are too lazy to adjust it every time. But this tight chain will cause the chain and sprockets to wear out too quickly. Hard downshifts may be due to improper chain slack, especially if the issue popped up recently or after a service.

            The Masseters (front and rear) are now 400+ kms old. Good grip. Less skidding of rear tyres as compared to stock Zappers. And the best part is that the bike leans into corners now.

                    As per yamaha, it should be replaced and not cleaned.

                      Company recommended interval is 15000km once to change. I run in dusty conditions and so 10000km once change it. Can't clean this type. Once in 5000km can take out and gently tap it. Otherwise change.

                        Where did you buy the tyres from? Are they of stock size?

                          I had to upsize front tyres. Rear is stock size. Bought from authorised MRF dealerships Delhi

                            Can the rear back pedal position be adjusted and How?

                              I don't think you could change the rear footpeg position.
                              Ride safe and have fun.

                                I don't this the position can be adjusted.

                                If you're finding the current position uncomfortable, I suggest that you spend some more time and clock some more kms. Initially even I found the position of rear foot-peg awkward, blame it on the comfort that I had on my old Unicorn, but I got accustomed after clocking more kms. Now I don't have any complaints.

                                Cheers!
