Hi all this is sivaaravindh from salem.
Sharing my short term(very)experience with my yamaha fz 25. For past one year i was looking for a motorcycle. Since i was a new comer i was looking for a 150-160cc sports commuters.finally after a test drive almost convinced my self to book a honda hornet160r. But i always had a lust[emoji13] on fz 250 Becoz of how it looks and sounds and i got a chance to ride a fz25 and it was amaazing. since i had a budget issues i didn't consider fz 25 in my list. And in mid feb 2020 the yamaha unveiled fz25 bs6 and i was like why did they ****ed up with the design. Since honda also very lazy to launch the bs6 variant of honda hornet. I told my dad that i want to buy fz 25. Since it was my first bike he said ok. So we went to the showroom and asked for the booking of fz25 and they said that the company had stopped the production of fz25 bs4 and i was broken already. After a contacting the few showrooms in Coimbatore i got 3 fz25's in stock. So we went to Coimbatore and booked a matt blue version. We rode the bike all the way from Coimbatore to salem. It was a pleasant experience and the engine was very smooth.even though iam short 5feet4. i can comfortably handle the vehicle. The seats were also very comfortable. handling is too perfect.I was very happy that i made a right decision untill i heard that strange noise from the engine that you guys were familiar with. yes that rattling noise i was shocked that how a new engine can sound like this and i searched in internet. And knew that it was common in all fz's . I was slightly disappointed coz it was 1.63lacs on road.even though the sound is not always present i kind of disappointed that even other 160cc bikes are very refined than fz25. But i have to live with the sound so i started to ignore the sound for a few days. And all of a sudden my front brake lever starts to vibrate or pulsates when i apply brake. Then the abs warning light always present even after the bike moves.When i rotate the wheel with my hands the brake pads seems to be in contact with the disc a noise being observed.So a bend in the disc could possibly cause this? Asked a service centre guy he told me to come monday for the abs diagnosis. Don't know why happening this in a new bike anyway i hope the brake thing can be solved. Other than this i don't have any other issues. If anyone have experienced the same brake issue please let me know. Thankyou!

Hi, nothing to worry brother it's a very capable machine, no Japanese manufacturer launches a bike in India unless they are extremely reliable and confident about their product, unlike other manufacturers who iron out the problems after sales, I have read about XT250 which shares the same engine as FZ250 having done lot of miles without any issue, proper Oil change and valve clearance is all it needs.

Having a small issue here.
My clutch freeplay is according to the specs but when I select a gear, bike gives huge jerk.
What may be the issue.?

Having trouble while selecting first gear. It gives loud sound with jerk.
Clutch is adjusted properly.
Problem persists when adjusting clutch at tighter side too.

Mild jerk with thud is normal for first gear. Happens with most bikes. You should listen to Duke's. first gear engagement sound. Nothing to worry!

Cheers!

I want to buy fz 25 but some issues are bothering me :-
1. Coin rattling noise/ tappet noice issue - is there any permanent solution for this issue?? If not then will it effect longevity?? To be honest i dont mind this sound itself but it shouldn't affect performance and longevity.
2. Valve clearence: - i have read alot of complaining about how we need to adjust valve clearence again and again???

To be honest i like pretty much everything about fz 25 and wanna buy it but since i live in a small town i don't wanna run from mechanic to mechanic to fix these issues especially since yamaha sva support here is almost non existent ������

Hello riders, I have a query...
I owned a D400, had to sell it due to average issues, and bought a second hand FZ25, 2018 model, 3900 kms driven thinking that it would at least return me something between 30-35 kmpl, but today when I checked it based on tank to tank method it returned me a figure of only 21 kmpl, can someone please shed some light and guide me that why did this happen. Can you please enlighten that what could be the possible reasons behind this

Consider the coin rattle as natural engine noise , its a very practical bike with minimum issues , the engine is time tested and does not have any issues over long usage

What about valve clearence??? Do we need to adjust it often ??

Also the conclusion i am drawing is that i just have to ignore these issues and they wont cause any problems??
