    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.
    Strange to see that mud issue cos lot of Vehicles has black powder coated exhaust pipe like my hunk but only fz25 has an issue ..must be something with the material of that pipe

        3. Quality of bike is average.
        4. no tappet noise in my bike.

              Quality is well above average, although not Yamaha standard. But engine is a beauty. Fantastic torque curve, beautiful to ride for 100-150 kms at a stretch in the 95-105 kph range, has awesome climbing capacity and is pretty smooth. Till 15600 kms at least, no issues at all with engine.

                If you are 'upgrading', don't go from 150cc to 200/250cc. You'll get used to the power in less than a month and it'll not feel like an upgrade. If you want more power and can spend, look for something 300+cc. Go for the 200/250cc segment if you're looking for a replacement for your current bike.

                  I'm looking for a replacement actually for daily commute and to have little fun with the torque

                    Tbh this isn't the right time to buy this motorcycle as ABS deadline is just 3 months away. obviously its going to be launched 1-1.5 month before that. even if they l
                    launch single channel ABS version, it's still better than no ABS. i would say wait a bit more and get ABS version instead. it will be even more awesome.

                      The Engine Belly pan belongs to TVS RTR 160 and got it done by myself as only 2 z shaped clamps were used to tighten it.
                      Can you show a closeup of the clamp fitting please?

                          ABS justifies that price and is a life saver, if you can wait, definitely go for the ABS version.

                          also the maintenance/ running cost of the bike is on lower side, so you will be able to save your money there.

                            your life is worth more than 15-20k.


                            even i'm planning to install abs as soon as they launch it. even if it costs 30k.

                              Can we get abs installed for non abs bike from showroom?

                                At best you'll need to add/replace the rims, ECU, sensors, parts of the braking system, parts of the wiring harness, etc. Plus the labor charges. Even after all that the working is not guaranteed. It might be better, cheaper even, to just sell the bike and buy a new one.
