Not sure why within 560 kms you are taking bike for service. My bike is almost 1 month and 940 kms. I will pass 1000kms within 2 days as my daily running is about 35 kms. I was supposed to take my bike for service last weekend but because of out of city travel and all the kms were not reached. You need to note the recommended oil for FZ25 from Yamaha is Yamalube fully synthetic 10W40. See below. This is from Yamaha website.

Hi guys,
I need some advise here. As stated in earlier post my bike is 940 kms and in next couple of days it will be due for first service. I am going for Yamalube Sporty Premium as dont want any risk in initial period. As I have seen with my bike for past 1 month (940 kms) - the first 100 kms were very rough. The gear shift was hard as rock and used to hurt my toes.


Untill 500 kms the things were little smooth. Gear shift (up and down) improved a lot. Down shift is still little hard. I use 90W gear oil for chain lube for 300 kms. Post lube the gear shift is very smooth. In about 200 - 250 kms its hard again. Having said this, I see constant need for clean and lube of chain.


The headlight shakes crazy and its irritating in night time on bad roads. I am having this checked.


IMPORTANT: Recently I see the rev range reduced and kind of limited to 5000 unless I want to go very rough on bike. 99% times I dont go beyond 4000 - 4500 revs but sometimes i see the bike gets very rough and rev is about or above 5000. I am attributing this to engine oil and expect this corrected after service.


When I ride for more than 30-40 mins in Pune heat (I usually travel to office by 12:30PM) the engine seems to be different as compared to when I ride in the morning or night. I think the 42 deg. cel. heat is killing the integrity of Yamalube quickly and there could be need for XW50 oil in summer (X should be less than or equal to 10).


Please let me know what else I need to check with service team for first service.

Hi I remember you mentioning before about a clutch cable that failed or something like that which happened after a fall. To me your symptoms sound like your clutch plates are worn. Did the SC have an opinion ?

Hello,

What tire pressure does everyone maintain? On the swing arm & manual it says 25F 29R. So I filled it with nitrogen of the values 27F 31R, as the technician insisted that the manufacturer recommended values are way too low. He suggested 30F 35R. But I didn’t want to go overboard.
Are the values recommended by Yamaha for regular air or nitrogen?
Can anyone shed some light?
The thing is I feel the tire pressure is way too low while riding, feels like the tire has less than 20 psi or similar, as the undulations in road gives me a very bad handling feel. Even while leaning the bike, feels like I’m gonna fall or lose grip. I did check for punctures, there weren’t any.

Thanks.

Okay, your feeling of bumpiness and lack of grip is actually due to tyre quality. Are you running on the stock MRFs? What's the kms on your current tyres?

Same is recommended for honda hornet too! I also feel that it's low ,specially the rear tire pressure.

Bro how to check the triple tree setting and racer set condition? or should I ask the svc guys to do it? I had suffered a strong bump in the front a few months back and since then my handlebar doesn't feel straight. It feels like it is a bit forward from the left side. I complained about this at the svc and they said handlebar is bent and replaced it. It did feel a bit better than before but the issue still persists.

You'll have to check the triple tree at the SVC. Regarding handle feeling tilted, check this.

On a brand new bike, you can expect odd behaviour. Regarding your hard shifting thing, ensure that they adjust clutch pressure and lever play in your first service. Regarding your engine hesitation, yes the heat will effect mineral oil very fast, but once you change to SS/FS, ensure that you hit rev limiter in each gear once or twice in safe conditions.

Hello Everyone,

I would like to share my experience of Fz25 , I have completed 18,000 kms its 14 months old now.
I have been facing some issues in my bike, and i have always reported this problem to service center in every free service, but they completely ignored.
The problem i was facing was; that bike was stalling randomly in traffic, especially in heavy traffic , where the engine is stressed and sometimes because of this my wheel got locked and i was just about to fell from bike. Even sometimes when riding at the speed of 20 to 25kmph bike shudders and gives jerks sometimes and then it becomes normal. Service center guys checked FI system, spark plug everything was normal. And best part when they are taking trials the bike was behaving normal, so they were not able to make out whats the fault. I complained it to Yamaha , but of no use.
Then i finally took the bike to my local mechanic , he took the trial and yes this time engine stalled, mechanic said that the fuel pump is faulty. and it needs to be replaced and he advised me to get it changed from authorized service center.

I would like to ask you guys, what could be the problem, is that fuel pump or something else.

Also Yamaha service center is one of the worst in Mumbai, No trained mechanics and no Knowledge about FI systems. They don't have adequate diagnostic equipment.
Kindly someone suggest me the Service center in Mumbai.

Thanks

It could be fuel pump, or it could be clutch disc, or it could be clutch cable, or it could even be chain-sprocket. Get them all checked. Have you cleaned your injector till date? Do you use good fuel? Have they done an FI diagnostic? Any other associated symptoms?

I have Cleaned my FI just 2 months back. I always use Speed or Power fuel only.
Recently i am observing that at 3rd and 4th gear bike is giving more vibration at 100kmph speed.
