Style
Absalutly stylish , in fact it is the only one thing the bike is good about
Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox
It is just OK, Initialy gets very hot ( up to 5000 kms ) and smells .Vehicles lacks power compaired to other counterparts , starts vibrating when it crosses 57kmph.I doubts the top speed claimed by Yamaha ( 112kmph) . Top speed achieved by me is only 88kmph than too the vehicle was shivering badly . Feuel economy is Ok , if you ride between 55-65kmph the claimed milage of 48kmpl can be achieved .Gear Shift is smooth as far as now ( My Bike covered 9500Kms)
Ride Quality & Handling
Handling is good .bike is stable up to 57 kmph .At a higher spped bike vibrates but still the handling is good
Poor Build quality - Shock oil , Oil seal, Dust seal, Disc Brake pads replaced till ( Under 10000 KM)
Chain sprket bearing set need to be replaced and rear shock giving problems. Thease all are under 10000 kms ! indicates that build quality is very poor .Also the cost of spares are very high .Rs 2000 spend for shock repairing another 5000 rs still recquired to repair chain and rear shock.Service is very very poor , technicians lacks product /repair knowledge .Dealaer will charge you for repair works although your bike is in free service period and warrenty dosnot covers things like this .
Final Words
Not at all a Value for money item .Not based on fuel economy , I dont thing FZ S/FZ 16 customers expect a milage more that 40 kmpl but - Bike doesnt have that performance as advertised and buil quality is very poor plus high maintenance cost
My final Verdit is : AVIODABLE
Areas of improvement
Except Stlye all other areas need improvement
