Yamaha FZ16 : Picotrial + Review(Not now)

[harryneopotter]

I got this bike delivered on 5th Dec, and here are some pics which i took today ...sorry for the delay guys (as if anyone was expecting )

















I havent much to say bout the bike yet .... but so far i can say that the riding comfort is good, so is the grip on the road, acceleration is smooth, doesnt make much sound even if i start in 2nd gear , engines sound a bit different(better according to my choice) than the other bikes have ridden. Till now i am fully satisfied with its performance without considering the Oomph factor, and the looks/stares i get everywhere, or discussions wherever i park the bike ..... It really does turn a lot of heads...

I will write in more details after spending some more time with it.... so thats it till now .... signing off ....

[aditya1987]

I have a question..

I am also planning to buy a new bike this month, I have short listed two bikes.

1.Karizma
2.FZ-16

I travel about 4-6 Km everyday, so mileage is not a issue for me.

So guys please tell me which one will be better?

Regards,
Aditya

[ajayashish]

i will say Karizma... its a wonderful bike...

and HARRY... how does the dashboard look

[The_Devil_Himself]

[╬Switch╬]

What the millage of FZ16?

[desiibond]

This is a superb bike. IF you take a side look, the bike's tank looks almost as big as the bike's seat.

btw, its been long since i been active in here. moved to hstel for a month for the xams. 3 more xams to go and will put some nice pics + some stunts maybe.

[j1n M@tt]

FZ16 is a torque master and is a muscle(naked) bike......if u r looking for a top speeder or a sports bike, go for ZMA or R15

btw...congrats harryneopotter

@Switch
milage for FZ16 can go up to 60, but due to its throttle response it gives to u, u will end up revving up the bike and end up with a milage abt 45

[krazzy]

Awesome bike man. Congrats!

[dOm1naTOr]

@zyberboy
they are flowers.....wat say.
i think u will understand
its 'panineer chamba poov'. looks like a bed of flowers.

[kumarmohit]

@ harryneopotter

Yep but seems like Honda went crazy and delayed it further.

[dOm1naTOr]

@kumarmohit
yamaha showroom guys are total suc**ers
ive read on many sites...and me too have to suffer. Total morons.
but service is ok i think.

ya i guessed but it looks artificial


and how is ur bike at high speed at around 80km when compared to others?Is there any hint of vibration at 80km? and wt abt the torque at slow 30~40km with a pillon in 4th gr?

[dOm1naTOr]

torque is gr8 with a pillion upto 70 and upto 90~95 w/o pillion.
and the bike is oober stable even at 110. but gear is pulling back..the rpm is around 8k even at 95kmph in 5th gear in normal straight road. that means it wont go to much higher speeds. maybe max of 115, will have to use declutching heavily for ny more than that.
but one thing..the bike is very stable, nd absolutely no vibrations. It wud have been gr6 if there was a 6th gear

btw that flowerbed is 101% natural

[j1n M@tt]

^^ya he is true, even in the 5th gear u can feel the engine grip, could hav been gud if there was a 6th gear. but they hav designed in this way for its muscle nature. above all these things, the gr8 thing abt it is its stability at higher speeds. But I must say FZ16 and R15 r designed for single passenger. God only knows how I'm sitting in the back of this bike when domi is riding comfort is gud, but u will feel like the bike is ejecting u forward.

[harryneopotter]

till now i havent driven the bike more than 4.5k RPM (35-55 KMPH depending on the gear ) as it is in running in period .... but i need the right tips on handling the bike before the first service ... its my first bike .. so i knw nuthing bout the basics of Bike riding.

@dominator : buddy if u can then please tell me all the things that i should take care of to ensure long engine life and efficiency ... like how much should i use the clutch ... wats the safe limit in running in period ... can i have pillion in running in period ...and all the other general stufff. it will of great help for me ....

thnx to all other guys

here are the dashboard/ Dial/ Meter pics ...

[dOm1naTOr]

its gud to maintain the rpm below 4.5k, but dont let the engine run at same rpm continuously for more than 10min [orelse the cylinder walls will start to cut threads on its walls]. also raise thr rpm to bout 8k once in a while at 3rd gear maybe.
and dont use power/speed petrols for atleast first 3000KM/2 services. such fuels with higher octanes will produce more heat which is not gud during run in time.

also occasionally use the engine gripage as break. say break the bike only using engine from bout 60, by down shifting to 4th, then to 3rd and so on and finally to first. The front disc may be producing some kinda sound now, which is normal. It has to rd bout 1000~1500Km for that to be smooth.

and btw, i havnt kept ny of those tips i mentioned on my bike. always drives 65~75 from rite beginning. also before 1st service, had to take the bike to 100+ some 6~7 times, sometimes with a pillion. Also sometimes had to give the throttle like hell, and rpm meter almost touching red. has to heavy declutch many times to go above 108 with a pillion. Had to sudden brake from 85 and draged 5~6meters before i stopped.
all said, the bike is in normal condition, and i see no change in performance/quality in ride compared to other fresh new FZs that ive ridden.
i think yamaha built the bike to rip off!!!!!

im waiting for second service to get over, and will ve to ripoff like hell, coz my clg buddies rips their bikes, and on some trips inorder to keep up with them, me too ll ve to rip my fz
and another point is: while ripping, my mileage is around 30kmpl

[j1n M@tt]

don't rev up in the lower gears too much. u hav to learn the correct shifting rpms for each gear. dats abt 30kmph u hav to be in 4th gear from a stand still 0kmph...and as domi has said, u hav to raise the rpm once in a while

[Plasma_Snake]

I've been riding bikes since class 8th and now I'm in my final year of Engg. so if u want some advice related to ur new under-@r$e-r0cket, u know where to contact me.

[The_Devil_Himself]

bajaj scooters are better than anything tbh.Jump off the fker even at the slightest hint of something going wrong.

[Pathik]

Hmmm.. I think I want a FZ16..

[harryneopotter]

thnx for the valuable inputs dominator and jon .... i will keep the points in mind .... and in delhi traffic its impossible to maintain constant RPM for more than 2-3 mins ..so it will help also ....

[krates]
