Re: Yamaha FZ 25 Owners Reviews and Experiences

They had a paper (website) launch few months back. It is still not on sale or pricing available.

Re: Yamaha FZ 25 Owners Reviews and Experiences

Just a quick confirmation. The MRF Masseters are the best tyres for good cornering on a budget right?
If so, is there any specific type of Masseter that I should go for or slap on any available Masseter as per Fz25s size?
Thanks

Re: Yamaha FZ 25 Owners Reviews and Experiences

MRF masseters are very good,I am using them on my p220.grip is superb,braking has become better.
The other thing with masseters is they are hard to find..normaly dealers don't stock them,here in ludhiana I searched for them and was not able to find any dealer who had them,so I have to call mrf customer care and they did made a arrangement with a local distributor and that's how I got my masseters..

Re: Yamaha FZ 25 Owners Reviews and Experiences

Thank you!. It may be even more difficult to source them owing to the current situation.

Re: Yamaha FZ 25 Owners Reviews and Experiences

Nah,you can call on mrf customer care.on their website contact number is given and tell them what you want from them.

They are very good and polite,they will arrange the tyres as per your need just tell them the name of local dealer from where you can collect your tyres.

Re: Yamaha FZ 25 Owners Reviews and Experiences

Masseters and Michelins, both are very very capable performers.

Re: Yamaha FZ 25 Owners Reviews and Experiences

The Masseter comes in two types for the rear one is the regular single compound and the other is a dual compound one. I've been using the single compound type on my R15 since the tyre was launched and I can say that the grip is just phenomenal, that's why I got it again now.
I've used the front too previously when it was only available in the 80/90 size at that time as opposed to the 90/80 that the R15 V2 came with stock, it looked really skinny but the grip was just phenomenal !!

I'm running the stock FY-1 for the front (couldn't find the 100/80 Masseter front here in Ranchi and the 100/80 zapper is just crap) and Masseter-X at the rear (couldn't find the dual compound one, it's the "Masseter-X MCT" I believe).

I also own a FZ25 and waiting for the crappy stock tyres to scrub off, so that I can get a new set of Masseters front and back for it.

Just being a bit greedy for that fat rear look I hope MRF launches a 150 or 160/60 variant so that I can get that rather skinny looking (for how wide the tail is) rear tyre on the FZ changed.

OK so enough of me now [emoji16].




From my experience with the Masseter:-

The Masseter has a pretty rounded profile so the bike will want to lean a lot really damn quick !
It gives a lot of feel about the road surface.
Mileage is good for a tyre with that grip level.
It takes a while to get used to the feel and feedback at first if you want to push it to its limits which can be hard (atleast for me it was).
Wet performance is good for the rear but the front is great in the wet too.
Doesn't get punchers as easily as other soft compound tyres (probably because the thickness of the tread).

Overall its great value for money [emoji108][emoji108] just go for it !
If you corner hard you'll be scraping those FZ peg pins a lot [emoji1417][emoji1417].

Re: Yamaha FZ 25 Owners Reviews and Experiences

Now masserers are available in 90/90 size also

[QUOTE=sagarzzz;1393117]Now masserers are available in 90/90 size also for the front tyre

Re: Yamaha FZ 25 Owners Reviews and Experiences

There is huge vibrations coming from the rear of the bike. Vibration is prominent on low speed in every gear (low RPMs). There is no vibrations at higher speeds though.

The vibration is so much that the indicator on rear fender shakes too much and there is also high impact on foot pegs.

Told the SVCs guy but problem is still not solved.

Bike is 22months and 15000kms old.

Any help will be appreciated.

Re: Yamaha FZ 25 Owners Reviews and Experiences

Firstly, The thing you stated about priming is true for all FZ25s out there. So, no need to worry.

Secondly, I think the bike doesn't start properly due to the faulty spark plug. Yamaha recommends you to change your spark plug at 10,000kms, i guess. Get the genuine spark plug and you will be good to go

Re: Yamaha FZ 25 Owners Reviews and Experiences

Check swingarm bearings and chaim slackness. ( tight chain causes vibrations ).

Re: Yamaha FZ 25 Owners Reviews and Experiences

It's completely normal, that's just how Yamaha FI system works.... R15 also does that.

There's no fault, Yamaha bikes do crank a bit longer, no issue in that too, it's just how Yamaha makes them but if it takes like maybe 4-5 cranks to start then there could be a problem with fuel delivery or ignition.

Re: Yamaha FZ 25 Owners Reviews and Experiences

"Low RPM and huge vibration", from what I can understand it's just how the engine is tuned and how it delivers power(lots of torque in the low revs, why it doesn't stall and pulls with jerkiness).

You might be lugging the engine by trying to pull away in really low revs and that causes the behaviour, there's no problem with the bike even mine does that, just don't put as much load on the engine in low revs and it won't happen and also it actually is bad for the engine in the long run to lug it like that.
