    Solutions?
    Run for few kilometers with more than little front braking. If does not help replace I guess!!

      Bleed the break line to remove any air from the lines and use break cleaning spray to any oil or grease from the disc and pad. Like the one in the link ( https://www.amazon.in/dp/B009GKI88G/..._mUJjCbA6MSFHZ )

          I don't think heating is a good idea, that too in direct fire. If I were in your place I'd have wiped the disc with a cloth and then take the bike to a road with less/no traffic and accelerate, then brake hard continuously till the braking power returns. If not, was the disc and brake pads using dish wash liquid and wait for it to dry.

              I believe you can expect upto 38 to 40kmpl in city conditions depending upon your usage and riding habits. No manufacturing issues from what I've heard. The stock tyres lack bite on the wet roads though. It's a great bike to switch to, from a 150cc. People claim upto 45kmpl when riding in ideal conditions or on highways. Speaking from experience, it's not really a bike to used in bumper to bumper traffic.

                Fz25 is a reliable bike. You can get it for city use and highway too. Best fuel efficiency for a 250cc. Torque is great which makes overtaking in city traffic easy and less gear changes. My fz25 has tappet noise after 5k rpm which seems normal with all bikes but doesn't affect performance . Other than that no major concern.

                  I heard tappet noise was there in 2017 bikes later it was fixed ..how about the rust thing on the exhaust pipe and ground clearance?

                    Yes maybe tappet noise is initial batch issue. During my 5th service svc applied a paint for free on the exhaust so now no red mud (rust ). Actually it's not rust it's mud that's dried up coz of heat. It's no more an issue now. Also ground clearance when riding with pillion is less so careful with bigass speed breakers. For solo ride it's not an issue. Also you can get the suspension to level 4 or 5, that'll help

                        Use 90 grade gear oil, cheap and best.

                          I think you just need to get the steering head bearing tightened. In my case handlebar ticked and moved forward very slightly under hard braking. Getting it tightened a bit solved the trouble.

                            City mileage would be in the range of 30-35 kmpl. But this is the best bike to ride in city traffic as of now considering its low-end torque and light handling. Only common manufacturing issues till now is fast wearing rear pad. But I guess that too has been sorted now.

                                Can't comment on tappet noise.
                                Exhaust rust is just mud accumulated and turned red coz of heat from pipe. Yamaha is providing an extra layer of spray paint and after this there is no rusting issue. I have not replaced break pads after riding for 17500km. It depends on your usage of breaks. I use front often than rear and rear should be used only to support front but not for stopping.
