    For cleaning chain I am using diesel and a tooth brush and for lubing a mixture of EP140 and grease. It works great fro me (gets little dirty though).

      If you can wait for 1 more year and you are a fan of Fazer 16 design then yes.

      Otherwise you can fit aftermarket windshield which will serve the purpose.

      Personally i dont like adding fairing to the naked bikes and calling it faired or semi faired bike. For me the look wise i like the actual design which they are intended to.

        The bike was all covered , the headlamp assembly was single unit not like the double bulb set up in current ones.

          Completed 1000 kms today. Tried testing top speed but speedo not going above 130kmph even on full throttle and full crouch on tank. Though wind was little bit high but not that it can effect top speed too much.

            While checking top speed you have to take multiple tries to get the max out of the engine.

                Ankit, when you wanna test the top speed of your motorcycle, then ensure that you redline at every gear. Only then you can extract max top speed. If you are trying to push the bike only in 5th or 6th gear, then it may max out much earlier than it's potential. And, this is recommended for only testing purpose.

                  True. Actually I have habit of my zma, it easily touches its max speed of 125kmph in roll on run also in 5th gear from any speed.
                  It was just a single try in my fz25, I know that engine is new and will take some time to rev at max freely in "load conditions"

                    Apparently Fazer 250 would be launched sometime next month.

                        fz 25 is meant for only acceleration not top speed I guess, saw a video of funk Yamaha on YouTube bike struggles past 130 and doesn't go beyond 135.considering speed error true speed should be less.may be it's​ new bike or changing chain sprocket to lesser teeth may help.

                          So you loss acceleration.

                                Yup, it's either this or that. I believe a smaller sprocket, should help attain speeds of 140 or higher. Would be nice to see if someone experiments this

                                Btw, does any one have any idea which bike's sprocket (smaller) will be a easy fit for the Fz25?
