User Review of FZ V 2.0 by Supriya Chakraborty

Buying Experience
I purchased my Yamaha FZ, my first bike, in 2016 from Carlton Yamaha in Delhi. The staff was courteous and delivered the bike on time. After almost 33,000 kilometres, here's a detailed review of my experience.
Riding Experience
The Yamaha FZ offers an amazing riding experience. I've ridden this bike in various conditions, and it never ceases to impress with its riding position and power. However, the seat comfort is average.
Looks and Performance
Despite being six years old, my FZ still looks good and continues to provide pleasure while riding. The front is sporty with an LCD display that emits a red light, showing all necessary information, though it's not as updated as modern bikes. The bike features a fiber body, and while it lacks LED lights, the halogen bulb performs adequately, although extra light would be beneficial in dark conditions. The pillion seat is not suitable for long journeys, as it can cause back pain. Overall, it boasts a sharp and sleek body structure.
The engine, at 149 cc, delivers impressive performance with rapid pickup that makes riding enjoyable. The torque is around 13 Nm, which doesn't disappoint. Although it vibrates at higher speeds, maintaining the engine in good condition minimizes this issue. The top speed ranges from 115 to 120 km/h. Even after six years, it provides a good mileage of 43 to 46 km per liter.
Servicing and Maintenance
Maintaining my FZ has been a reasonably good experience. Yamaha is a reliable brand known for its longevity. Parts are easily available and replaceable. Initially, the service cost was around 500 to 600 rupees, but it gradually increased to 1100 to 1600 rupees. Occasionally, the service center fails to deliver the bike on the promised time, and mechanics sometimes expect extra tips despite their labor charges.
Pros
- Smooth ride with good seat position
- Good mileage
- Sporty look, even after six years
- Reliability of Yamaha
- Good weight distribution
- Perfect for city rides
- Excellent rear tire grip
Cons
- No ABS
- No slipper clutch
- Low light performance
- Average front tire quality
In summary, the Yamaha FZ has been a reliable companion over the years, providing a balanced mix of performance, style, and dependability.

About the Reviewer

Highly recommended.
I've been using it since 2018 with proper maintenance with on-time oil changes my bike mileage is given 50kmpl..! The best mode is eco mode speed is up to 69kmph.
If we maintain proper timing in gear change, like air pressure and chain clean and apply lube then it's completely smooth & ..! But the service charges are equivalent to its engine oil price.

About the Reviewer

Riders often appreciate the comfortable and upright riding position of Yamaha FZ bikes. This ergonomic setup, coupled with the bikes' maneuverability, makes them well-suited for city commuting and short to medium-distance rides. The suspension systems are typically tuned for balanced ride quality, ensuring a smooth experience on various road surfaces.

The best bike you will ever get for this price.. I owned this bike for more than 7 years now ....And i have used it very roughly the only issue I got till now is sound in the chain ... I have used it for long rides city rides off road etc... Engine is good... Now after riding it for almost 40000km there's a sound in the engine which is not solved yet other than that I had the best experience on this bike .... This bike's performance made me fall in love with bike rides.

The best bike under 1 lac with a great racing and sporty look I added more gears like exhaust, bike phone mounted and handlebar mirrors etc. its looks and speed, mileage are really good if you do racing and bike is really amazing. I used for more than 1 year without servicing and it's working well but now I sold due to money problem.
