Updation No1. Review on Yamaha FZ16

Hope all doing good. I am also doing great.

Thanks a lot for all the comments. As said in a comment my 1st posting cannot be considered as a review but infact its just a intro of me& cyb. I wasnt able to update as i was out of station for more than a month on an official purpose. Cyb was just standing ideal through out that time in her den.

Lets get in to business.

No 1: mileage.

I am getting 43 to 45 kilometers per liter of unleaded petrol. I waited to check the mileage only after completing 1000 kms & it took me so many weeks as i was out of station.my initial plan was to ride for 100 kms everyday with 50 kms in highway &50 kms in the city. Normally i ride for 50 kms in city & i have planned in such a way i commute to office in non peak hours.

We, me & my pal who is an expert in automobiles, planned to tame theengine in mainly long rides with the speed range of 55 to 60 kms/hour for the 1st 1000 kms. Unfortunately we couldn't do it fully due to many reasons, but did it partially[50%].

We believe a new automobile, particularly a bike, has to betreated like a new born. Straining the engine too much in the initial stageswill/mite reduces its efficiency.

Plan: now we are contemplatingvarious ways to increase the mileage inspite of me being very comfortable with this mileage. Our plan is to use premium fuel & try out additives. We areyet to decide what exactly the combo would be. Will update once its ready.

no 2: ride quality

Verysmooth. A noiseless & smooth engine even at high speeds is the type iwanted to have. In this regard my satisfaction is 100%.

Plan: to make it still moresmoother, planning to use neulon, engine oil provedto improve the smoothness will be used. We have some experience using this oil for many bikes with promising results.the plan is yet rudimentary. Will update the findings in next few weeks.

Verysafe: due too the well designed frame & balanced weight plus the wide tires & efficient brake, you are in safe hands.

Plan: have asked yamaha peopleabout the cost to upgrade the back brakes to disc. If its with in my budget, will go ahead.

With this my 2nd posting is coming to an end.will update regularly in the future.

Thankx for bearing with me.

Ooops i forgot to share something.

“the passenger/pillion part of the seat is too small forladies in saree to sit”

You will come across this statement or worse you mite evenhave this idea.

Pals….the way my 1st sister felt safe while oncyb is unmatched. She, who is short and obese, always clad in saree, is now allpraise for cyb, b’coz it has installed a great sense of safety in her. After the ride she told “i felt being in a car”

So contrary to the above held belief please do encourage your grandma to take a trip. She will like it.

It will not be surprising to witness fz 16 ferring people ofall sizes, all ages, and all body propositions with ease.
