Re: K & N Air Filter For Yamaha FZ Fi Version 2.0

Hello Everyone!
Recently I purchased New Yamaha FZ Fi Version 2.0 and I'm very overwhelmed with is fuel economy, handling and comfort. So i just wanna ask is it ok to replace the stock air filter with K & N filter?? I just wanna some extra sporty sound for my bike that's why i wanna change. Is there any better alternative for sporty sound?? Need Some suggentions and I hope you all can suggest me some good idea.

No. Don't put in a K&N filter. Too much grime will go in as the stock filter is made for Indian dusty conditions.

Re: K & N Air Filter For Yamaha FZ Fi Version 2.0

Hi Yousuf, its better without the K&N filter. I too wanted the sound to be grunty.. Once you complete the first service, you can actually revv the engine harder and the FI engine will come to life with loud grunty sound People actually turn and look when I revv past them

Re: Yamaha FZ16 version 2.0

Any of you folks owning the v2, feel that the engine strains after 4k rpm? This is particularly evident in 4th gear. For the records, mine has done 498km on the odo. Have been meticulously keeping the rpm range within 4500. Would be opening it up to 6000 rpm once it crosses 500km, but this strain worries me. By the way, the first service is due in a week's time.

Re: Yamaha FZ16 version 2.0

In 4th Gear I have gone upto speed of around 55kmph at around 4500 rpm without much strain. Although you might be facing this issue due to the fact that your first service has still not happened.

Yamaha FZS FI ver 2.0: My first bike and the journey so far

Hello everyone,
First of all a big thanks to all the members here. Athough at the time of buying my bike, my account was not activated I learnt a lot by "lurking" here. For the necessity of my daily commute for job and occassional trips to the city I bought this bike. i rode a friend's FZ back in 2010, and it felt as one of the smoothest bike that time. The good experience of past and now the promised better fuel economy (and the FI) helped me to narrow down on this model. Bought my machine on 30th August after a 20 days waiting period on the Astral Blue color. The Kota Yamaha quoted a price of whooping 96k for this bike. But upon a lots of grilling and negotiations I found out this included a lots of unwanted things. Finally bought it for 91k (80,240 ex showroom) including leg guard, extended warranty, seat cover, bike cover.

Tech Specs:
Engine

Air cooled, 4-stroke, SOHC, 2-valve

149cc

57.3mm x 57.9mm

9.5:1

9.7 kW (13.1PS) / 8000 rpm

12.8 N･m (1.3 kg f･m) / 6000 rpm)

Electric

Force-feed lubrication, wet sump

Fuel injection

Wet, multiple-disc

Constant mesh 5-speed

1st=2.714 2nd=1.789 3rd=1.318 4th=1.045 5th=0.875

Single Cylinder

12V, 4.0AH (10H), Sealed type

Experience so far:

The bike has the similar characteristics of the previous version, but the engine feels more refined from acoustics and also from ride smoothness. Have done 400 km
in it with an average mileage of little above 40 kmpl. This figure is pretty exciting considering the poor mileage of the previous FZS.

The power is good in the low range, but the bike struggles in the higher rev range. You can feel the limitation once you cross 5000 rpm in 5th gear. Sticking to the instruction manual I have not tried opening the throttle all the way frequently, but have touched 90 km/hr with a pillion on highway. The ride is butter smooth in the below 60km/hr range and feels a little rough post 60. The service center guys have said this will be tuned in the first service.

The front disc brake does what it is expected to do. A rear disc brake would have been nice, but is not a necessity for me as I stick to the low speed range mostly, in which the drum brake suffices.

The Astral Blue colour turned out to be really worth the wait of 20 days, but the bike's fuel tank is really scratch prone. And I doubt the fuel tank will loose its glaze in matter of days.

Pros:
1. FI system increases fuel economy without loosing power
2. refined engine
3. Killer looks

Cons:
1. Lack of Rear Disc brake
2. Lack of LED Tail lamp
3. Poor power delivery in higher rev range

Overall a sporty commuter.

Have the tank panels changed from the previous version? Or is it just the stickers? Saw a few people mention that the tank is scratch prone

Yup, the tank panels are changed slightly.

Its little different. You can spot the difference when both versions are put together side by side. And yeah, the tank is a scratch magnet.

Does the bike have crash and saree guards? Also hows the top end performance now?

Crash guard is a part of accessories for this bike. You will have to buy it. And no there is no provision for Saree guard. And in my opinion you won't need it, as the rear wheel is pretty much covered.

And the top end performance? Apparently the v1 used to struggle in that department.
