Re: Yamaha FZ 25 Owners Reviews and Experiences

Yeah, it looks great and the best part is, 0 glare for incoming traffic because of sharp cutoff. high beam is even better. beam if fully road legal as projector is DOT approved.
Not atm, i haven't decided yet if i want AHO or not. thing is, headlight is controlled by ECU so i can't pull more than 13w without the risk of damaging it. currently i run it directly from battery and i have installed a separate headlight switch.

i'm thinking of running AHO @10w, and full 30w mode if i'm on tour. will see once i figure out beam adjust thing.

Re: Yamaha FZ 25 Owners Reviews and Experiences

The light looks amazing, can u link to the parts u bought for the modification?

Re: Yamaha FZ 25 Owners Reviews and Experiences

If an engine can survive the Latin Americas, it can easily shine here.

Yes, it is a good, big-looking, actually-big, VFM bike without the headache of liquid cooling. I didn't question the reliability of the engine, we were only asking if the peculiar noise can come from the balancer gear.

Ops. I didn't know there were 2 recalls. I only knew about the threadlocker issue. It's a very different/unique engine - see it's disassembly video when you get time. The engine breathes to the airfilter box via the camshaft access cover. So this camshaft cover inside has a metal plate that prevents the oil splash from entering the breather tube. The culprit bolts are the ones holding this plate.

Yes, but if high strength is used, loosening of the fastener becomes difficult, especially if it is a small bolt/nut. IIRC, in one youtube video I saw, the Yamaha SVC tech uses Loctite 640 (a green liquid) marketed as retaining compound for bearings rather than a threadlocker. I have seen this green liquid only in Yamaha training videos available in Youtube. The breakaway torque, operating temperature and nut size limit mentioned in the specs are very important in choosing a threadlocker - Am still reading on those. The specs for Loctite 243 and Anabond 122 are very similar.

So it's related to the valvetrain may be. Just the way this engine is. Since it doesn't bother most of you, Enjoy and ride safe!

Re: Yamaha FZ 25 Owners Reviews and Experiences

Sure.
1. Bi-led projectors
2. Led driver ( not necessary )
3. Osram Leds ( not necessary )
4. Headlight switch

You don't need to buy those driver and leds, projectors come with their own leds+ drivers. but i don't trust their warranty claims nor quality, so i decided to use something high quality. osram led is not only high quality and automotive grade, but it provides higher light intensity too.

also, you can buy same projectors from here also. but there's no point wasting 3x more money for same thing.

[MENTION=91784]slopegatri[/MENTION] thanks for the detailed reply :-) [MENTION=33190]ashwanth.r[/MENTION] thanks I got the point you were explaining about!

Re: Yamaha FZ 25 Owners Reviews and Experiences

Thanks! I'll look if I get some other projectors at a lower price, is it a good idea?

Re: Yamaha FZ 25 Owners Reviews and Experiences

Only similar designed 2.5* ( 72mm maximum width ) or smaller projectors can fit because of small housing. anything bigger and you will have to reduce the quantity to 1. but there's another issue with that, headlight glass isn't flat in middle so if you use bigger projector in middle, there will be significant light loss. basically only this projector is suitable, and it's the cheapest with good enough stock quality.



Not only that, you still need to modify projector heatsink to fit 2 of them side by side. it's a lengthy process of trial and error. i'll make a tutorial once i finish the project.

Re: Yamaha FZ 25 Owners Reviews and Experiences

You can checkout out Projectors from RS200/RC390
Each outer projector unit costs ₹1423 without wiring and bulb assembly, you can use either H4/H7/H9 based bulb assembly and use stock headlight wiring with 4-pin relay

Re: Yamaha FZ 25 Owners Reviews and Experiences

Sorry, but those are not even comparable, only good hid projector setups are close in output but again it will cost more than bi-leds. biggest issue here is size, anything wider than 72mm/ longer than 125mm won't fit.

Re: Yamaha FZ 25 Owners Reviews and Experiences

Thanks, and the tutorial would be so helpful [emoji2]

Re: Yamaha FZ 25 Owners Reviews and Experiences

I am using motul 7100 10w50 from past 2 years, it is better than stock as bike heats up less in traffic, oil remains smooth till 4500 kms , I change it at 5000kms , gear shifts are also smoother compared to stock oil, it is economical compared to 300v , but i feel 300v should perform better ,

Re: Yamaha FZ 25 Owners Reviews and Experiences

Hello there I have a query for tyre !! Done 24000 and my tyres are due replacement!
I'm from Nepal and I found Apollo tyres dealer near my home! He has 3 options for my bike(only one exact fit)
Apollo alpha s1 140/60
Apollo alpha h1 150/60
Apollo actizip r5 140/70

First 2 are radials . So my question is do we really need radials for fz25 which doesn't lean much and never sees track! Given its almost double the price and almost half the mileage!!

Also if I chose to go with radials which would be more suitable? H1 has almost same circumference and height but s1 is bit small.
Below are attached comparisons of revolutions per km and circumference of both tyres with stock ones.
And what's the concequence of having slightly small tyre with respect to fz25?as in how much top speed will I loose and how much more stressed is the engine if it's even stressed .
Thank you

Re: Yamaha FZ 25 Owners Reviews and Experiences

Does Liqui Moily work better than motul? Any thoughts on this?

Re: Yamaha FZ 25 Owners Reviews and Experiences

Very slightly and costs twice. 2-3% difference in quality for twice the price. You pick.

Goodluck.

Re: Yamaha FZ 25 Owners Reviews and Experiences

Guys, what have you done for breaking stability? My rear feels sluggish when applied little more it locks up and fish tails. Front is not bad, but road conditions doesnt allow me to fully trust front breaks.
