    - Little vibrations from 70 to 80kmph, and some rattling/whistling sound from 60 to 80kmph. Rattling stays at 80kmph constant but goes away after that.



    Overall I am happy with its performance, specially its low end torque. Perfect mountain goat it will be- which I wanted😊😊
    Hi Ankit, I agree with all your observations. This extra sound settled for me after first service. And gets smoother from there. I am using in city exclusively and no heating issues faced after service. Because of the torque available, handling with a 75kg pillion also is very comfortable.

            well i am not an fZ 25 owner, so sorry if i have bumped into a wrong thread. but my question has got something to with fz25

            i have an fZ FI black and the headlight is very poor during night rides, i was thinking of getting an HID + projector setup ( fancy ones ) but afraid of warranty terms and also don't want to mess up any electricals?

            then i saw the fz 25 head light assembly and was thinking whether i can fit the fz 25 headlight assembly on fz fi?

            can someone throw some light here, can it be done? if so what would the cost? will SVC people do this or have to get it done from third party? lots of questions bugging my head.

            someone please help

            thanks

            Live like you mean it, then get a bike!

                No, warranty isn't void per se. But make sure, when your bike is under warranty, no flash, fancy parts gets the attention of the service center folks, in case, you happen to push for warranty in worse case. SVCs are very notorious in turning the tables towards customer when it come to warranty and claims. Keep that in mind.

                Right. Wheel balancing plays a very important role in how a wheel acts post a certain speed. All motorcycles are wheel balanced from the factory. Just in case, did you observe any placed in your rims or there weren't?

                New observation- last night it rained and my bike was parked on main stand outside. Water accumulated like a little pool near starter motor area (same where engine oil deposited). I tilted the bike in every possible direction to flush out water but I think there is no way to flow from that area so I have to soak it with cloth. My 1/4 finger was dipped in water pool. Please beware guys.
                That spot is the weak spot for many bikes that have cavity near the starter. Water pools up whenever one washes. One good idea is to use compressed air to remove water accumulation and or just bend down, get closer and blow as hard as you can, it works.

                They are called vehicle speed sensors, they are usually on the center of the crank case and monitor the rotation of transmission output shaft and calculate speed accordingly. Thought it varies from manufacturers. If you don't see a front wheel cable or sensor to the front wheel, you can be sure they use VSS.

Also camera position plays an important role. Make sure, the title w.r.t to what's taped are correct. There is no point having a camera at the back of the bike and playing music having the title Ride of my Life. Probably the camera had the ride of its life...

                Once upon a time, a guy asked a girl 'Will you marry me?'
                The girl said, 'NO!'


                And the guy lived happily ever after and rode motorcycles and watched sport on a big screen TV, went fishing and surfing, and played golf a lot, and drank beer and scotch and had tons of money in the bank and left the toilet seat up and farted whenever he wanted.


                THE END

                  Indeed, the wind noise sound is so beautiful to listen at 110 kmph and above and we have inline 4s which counters the wind noise.
                  Too much of useless advice here. If someone wants to watch let them watch. If not don't.
                  Leaving the forum.
                  Good luck mates.

                      It will still affect your warranty

                        Thanks for that info. I see some cables go out near the counter shaft sprocket. Will have a look at the wiring diagram and see. On a ninja 300 there is a sensor which sits parallel to the drive sprocket. Not so in the FZ 25.

Engine feels very refined and there's minimal to no vibes (felt slight buzz around 4.5K RPM), and even for just riding under 4- 4.5K, I can already feel the immense torque on this one, can't wait to go past 6K now. And the exhaust note is pretty sweet too..Overall, super happy!
                              Hi... since you're coming from a P200NS, how would you rate the FZ25's ride quality? Is it significantly better than the 200NS?

                              Also, does it bottom out on large speedbreakers/potholes?

                                Ride quality seems to bother a lot many people. Current users please provide a clear idea about the ride quality for prospective buyers to know.
