    Well, I quite liked the riding posture which is very comfortable for my height (iam 6 foot tall).
    And about the famous coin rattling noise, I didn't find it much bothersome.
    And how can I forget the first service experience
    There were multiple oil leaks after the service, also I was charged 150 for chain cleaning and lube
    All they did was lubing with used engine oil.
    I felt there was no point in arguing with them.

    Later went for a short ride and I felt sluggishness in the engine, it felt too lazy to be revvd beyond 70 with more vibrations and oil leaks has increased

    Went back to the service centre again and asked the mechanic about the engine oil quantity used( as the oil is leaking from the bolts on the engine, not the gaskets)he over filled by 150ml

    1450ml was supposed to be filled with oil filter as per the manual. Where as he filled with 1600ml. Which he admits that he has been doing the same for all the FZ25's

    Just left from there, came home drained out the extra 150ml oil, things are normal from then.

    Regarding the engine oil, it's good only for 2500kms. Bike feels rough after that also the vibes increase on the handle bar.

    Will opt for motul 10w 50 FS or the will try out the 15w50 liqui moly street. Not decided yet.

    Few more pics of the bike

    it's like Yamaha service guys don't give a damn about bikes, they do what they want to do without taking our problems into consideration, I thought it's only my service centre guys clowning around.

    150rs for chain lube that's comparatively less, Its 295rs here in CBE.

    once I'm done with the 3rd free service I m going to invest in basic maintenance tools and do the servicing myself.

      Actually it's not particular to one brand. Most of the svc's of different brands are the same.

            thanks, so that means i have to use newer speedometer.

            after abs retrofit, i managed to populate old non abs speedometer with abs indication light as traces were already there, all this because i wanted to keep original odometer reading, but on a recent tour i noticed it shows 72-74kph ( don't remember exactly ) @ 4k rpm in 5th gear. so i guess i will have to either use new speedometer or transfer eprom to newer speedometer if i want to have original reading + speed/rpm indication.

              You can order it from Vinayak Yamaha, Domlur. They don't normally keep it in stock.

              Congratulations on the new bike.
              It depends. I get 31-33kmpl in city traffic. It had once gone down to 28kmpl when the traffic was really bad.
              Highway it is dictated by the speed.
              60-70kmph => 45-50kmpl
              70-90kmph => 38-45kmpl
              90-100kmph => 36-38kmpl
              100-110kmph => 32-36kmpl
              110-120kmph => 28-32kmpl
              120+ => 24-28kmpl
              All measured on full tank to full tank basis.

              I did get 30kmpl when i was riding between 115-120kmph constantly for 200kms, 42kmpl riding at 90-110kmph and 49kmpl riding at 70-80kmph with a pillion. Generally on the highway i get between 34-38kmpl as i like to stick to 90-110kmph.

              50kmpl is quite good FE. I never managed to get anything more than ~45kmpl in the city on any 150cc.

                    Bro, You have done so much advanced modifications on your motorcycle. I guess you should start a youtube channel on FZ25 maintenance. Keep up the good work.

                      Haha, thought about it, but i don't have good talking skills for that. and there's already a dedicated yt channel for fz25.
