So here comes the much awaited review after the 1st service.
Well things went as expected from a Yamaha dealer (Geeta Motors, Gzbd). Dealer leftno stone un-turned to disappoint me. Service was completed in an hour though I have reported various problems. They just changed the Engine oil and air filter washed my bike with a Chik shampoo and its over.
As a complimentary gift they added some scratches on the front mudguard. I pointed the same to the service adviser and he clearly refused it. He said that I can’t check each and every part of the bike before taking it for service and it’s impossible for it to gets scratched or something at a Yamaha service center. Even they fused the brake light fuse.
Damn they really don’t CARE and feel a bit of responsibility. It seems to me that the dealer is interested more in sales than in service. I asked the SA that I want to talk to the dealer and I got the answer that dealer is in Japan on a Yamaha trip for meeting the sales target.
I said MAN parameters are only for sales and not for the service. I got so annoyed that I then and there gave acall to the Marketing Head of Yamaha so that this type of lethargy act by their dealers should come into their attentions who are trying to spoil the brandimage. Yamaha concern person was very professional and I was impressed with his work around for my bike. Even I told him that I am an active member for MS.
Actually the product and company is Amazing but dealership is making every thing worst. Well finally I got the assurance that the mudguard will be changed within a week so but it is more than 10 days and I am still waiting for the poor service call. This is for the service part for an excellent product.
Now back to product.
I am getting a mileage around 45+ I guess under mix riding conditions. I drove a brand new P220 today and felt the difference that FZ 16 is still an all round winner except for the max torque. Initial pick up is fine but when I thought to test the speed I was amazed to see that it touched the speed from 61 to 91 Kmph in less than 8 seconds with a very stable driving and no vibrations.
Even I was still eft with lots of throttle to roll. It seems to me that it will reach 120 easily without any prob. I am really happy with my bike looks and performance, this bike is really a serious attention grabber as it is a NAKED bike hehe .Gripping on road is rock solid, it makes me feel like I am driving something which isstick on road, Still dealership really needs to pull up their socks to get the compliment for the Job well done.
Some technical cons, can’t add mud flap in the front wheel due to air cooling. I am getting some bumpy sound from the rear part of the seat as it seems that seat is not properly fixed. SA said that they have already reported this issue to Yamaha and waiting for response now.
Well till now I am really satisfied with the bike especially with the looks and now as I can throttle it more after the first service so I am also getting pleased with the performance now.
Cheers for this amazing product but after sales service really need a Spanking hehe.
