Actually bought a used one but was in really very good condition. The riding was pretty smooth. I think the pickup was very powerful compared to its segment.
The engine is reliable and smooth as always like the Yamaha bikes.
It has got killer looks in its segment but actually I like the looks of BS4 FZ25, but due to short budget I went for the FZ but never regretted.
Maintenance is not on the costlier side or on the cheap side. I always use motul synthetic oil and it gave me a very good feedback. As i bought a used one, I used to service it occasionally in a local workshop I knew and not in Yamaha service centre. I used to service my old scooter in the same workshop and he had done a pretty good job.
Now moving onto the pros and cons,
So talking about pros, I think everything will be pros
1.Breaking is excellent for a 150cc bike.
2.The engine is both reliable and got a sportier performance compared to other bikes in the segment.
3.The seat is cushioned nicely and will give you comfort in long rides. Both pillion and rider will be satisfied.
4.Handling is an important aspect and Yamaha had done a pretty good job there.
And everything else was just as I need it to be.
And now talking about cons
1.Headlight is good but not good enough for long rides. For just city rides it is enough but you will need auxiliary lights for long trips.
2.The tank is made of fiber so magnetic tank bag cant be used for touring. But u can tie up the saddle in the rear.
From my point of view apart from above points I didn't feel any cons in the bike. It was a pretty good deal in its price segment, Yamaha had done a very good job there.

Tips for Yamaha FZ FI

Do periodic service. Use best company synthetic engine oil. Also change the oil filter whenever you change the engine oil. Use extra auxiliary lights also for long rides. Tank cover is fiber, and should maintain properly to avoid scratches and damage.

    150cc is generally a smaller engine but with Yamaha that's not the case. With the right fuel and oil, the bike performs amazingly well. It's great in terms of handling because of the thick rear wheel and front disk brake. Maintenance wise it isn't much costly. I have regularly changed the oil which costs 250-350rs and regular services anywhere outside of the showroom would cost 200-300RS

  • Excellent bike

    5 weeks ago


    Mainak Chakraborty

    I bought this bike in September 2023. Completed 5500km till now. Gone for a long ride and off-road rides as well. Let me share some pros and cons.
    Pros:
    1. The engine is excellent. It's a Japanese engine and there is no way I can doubt it. I have achieved 103kmph top speed till now. Could have achieved more but due to the lack of an empty road, was unable to achieve it.
    2. Breaking is amazing. The ABS saved me so many times from fatal accidents. Rare engine braking is good too.
    3. The tyre pressure and quality are nice. It's a radial tyre and it helps to control the bike smoothly. The rare wide type gives an amazing grip on the road.
    4. Exhaust sound is bold. It suits the bike.
    5. The clutch works like butter. The mileage I get is 45-48 on the local streets and 55 on long roads.
    Cons:
    1. The tank quality is really poor. Even if it is fibre, you can tap it with your 1 finger and it will bend and come back to normal.
    2. The provided leg guard from the Yamaha showroom is pathetic. It will bend even if you hit it with a cricket bat.
    3. The silver colour plate right beside the gear paddle (life side) and right beside the break paddle (right side) will make your shoe black. Because the silver plate releases a black colour once your toe touches it while applying the break or changing the gear.
    4. The bike will start vibrating once you cross 63kmph speed on your speedometer. You can not watch anything on the rare view mirror properly after crossing 70kmph
    5. Yamaha used to provide back tyre leg guards with BS4 engines. Now they provide half mud guard which makes the bike dirty right below the pillion seat. If anyone sits on the pillion seat during the rainy season, their pant will get dirty for sure
    Rest, the bike is amazing. Best for long rides and senior persons can also sit on it.
    I chose Yamaha instead of Hero, TVS and Bajaj because of engine reliability and service.

About looking it looks decent in this price range performance is also good. I get 2 free services from the company
    Pros - I like about Yamaha it is very stable while riding also breaking system is good for this price range
    Cons - Nothing much but yes Yamaha can give more colors on FZ

  • Sporty look but hard suspension

    12 weeks ago


    Amit

    The buying experience was good; the dealer provided the bike on time.
    Big tires give a steady riding experience.
    The bulky tank gives a sporty look.
    Mileage is also between 45-50 based on riding.
    One servicing mechanic did even bother to listen to my request for suspension adjustment he told me there is not any setting.
    Pros-
    Sporty look
    Big tires steady ride
    Sometimes exhaust feels good.
    Mileage
    Cons-
    Fiber quality was not good even after a single-handed decent use tank cover lock was broken.
    Fiber quality is not good and gets scratched easily.
    Low-quality paint on the brake and clutch lever.
    The main dislike of bikes is the rear suspension, I sometimes feel like riding bicycles that hard it is.
    With pillion suspension works but in the single seat it is worse.
    For suspension, I am regretting to buy this and I will not recommend it to anyone.

The diamond-type frame provides a sturdy foundation, while the front telescopic forks and rear mono-shock suspension ensure a smooth ride over various road conditions.

    Tips for other riders

    Here are some general maintenance tips for keeping your Yamaha FZ in good condition: Regular Maintenance Checklist: Engine Oil: Check and replace the engine oil every 3000-4000 kilometers (or as recommended in the owner's manual). Use the recommended grade of oil. Air Filter: Clean the air filter every 1000 kilometers. Replace it if it is too dirty or damaged. Chain Lubrication: Clean and lubricate the chain every 500 kilometers. Ensure the chain is properly tensioned. Brakes: Check brake fluid levels regularly. Inspect brake pads and discs for wear and replace if necessary. Ensure the brake system is free of air bubbles and the brake lever has proper pressure. Tyres: Check tyre pressure regularly. Inspect tyres for wear, cuts, or punctures and replace if necessary. Coolant: Check the coolant level regularly and top up if needed. Replace the coolant every 2 years or as recommended by the manufacturer. Battery: Check the battery charge and electrolyte level (if applicable) regularly. Clean the battery terminals to prevent corrosion. Spark Plug: Inspect and clean the spark plug every 5000 kilometers. Replace it if it shows signs of wear or damage. Suspension: Check the suspension for leaks and proper operation. Adjust the suspension settings according to your riding style and load. General Inspection: Check all nuts and bolts for tightness.

    The Yamaha FZ-FI is a popular street motorcycle that combines stylish design, solid performance, and advanced features, making it a well-rounded choice for urban riders. Here’s a detailed review covering various aspects of the bike:
    Design and Build Quality
    The Yamaha FZ-FI boasts a muscular and aggressive design, which is a signature of the FZ series. The bike's sculpted fuel tank, sharp LED headlamp, and sleek bodywork contribute to its streetfighter look. The build quality is robust, with a sturdy frame and high-quality materials used throughout. The attention to detail is evident in the fit and finish, giving it a premium feel.
    Engine and Performance
    The FZ-FI is powered by a 149cc, single-cylinder, fuel-injected engine that produces around 12.4 HP at 7,250 RPM and 13.3 Nm of torque at 5,500 RPM. The Blue Core technology ensures efficient combustion and better fuel economy. While it may not be the most powerful engine in its class, it offers smooth and linear power delivery, making it ideal for city commuting. The bike's acceleration is decent, and it can handle short highway rides comfortably.
    Ride and Handling
    One of the standout features of the FZ-FI is its excellent handling. The bike feels nimble and responsive, thanks to its lightweight frame and well-balanced chassis. The wide handlebars provide good leverage, making it easy to maneuver through traffic. The suspension setup, with telescopic forks at the front and a mono-shock at the rear, strikes a good balance between comfort and stiffness, absorbing bumps and undulations effectively.
    Braking and Safety
    The braking system on the FZ-FI is reliable, featuring a disc brake at the front and rear. The addition of single-channel ABS enhances safety by preventing wheel lock-up during sudden braking, providing better control. The brakes offer good stopping power and feedback, ensuring confidence-inspiring performance in various riding conditions.
    Comfort and Ergonomics
    The FZ-FI is designed with rider comfort in mind. The upright seating position, well-padded seat, and ergonomic handlebar placement ensure a relaxed riding posture, reducing fatigue on longer rides. The pillion seat is also reasonably comfortable, although it may be a bit cramped for larger passengers. The footpeg position is well-calibrated, offering a natural stance for both rider and pillion.
    Features and Instrumentation
    The FZ-FI comes equipped with a fully digital instrument cluster that displays essential information like speed, fuel level, trip meter, and more. The negative LCD display is easy to read even under direct sunlight. Other notable features include LED headlamps and tail lamps, ensuring better visibility and a modern aesthetic.
    Fuel Efficiency
    Fuel efficiency is one of the strong points of the FZ-FI. The bike delivers an impressive mileage of around 45-50 km/l, depending on riding conditions and style. This makes it an economical choice for daily commuting, helping riders save on fuel costs.
    Price and Value for Money
    The Yamaha FZ-FI is priced competitively in its segment, offering good value for money. Considering its stylish design, advanced features, reliable performance, and excellent fuel efficiency, it stands out as a strong contender in the 150cc segment. The cost of ownership is also reasonable, with Yamaha's reputation for durability and a widespread service network adding to its appeal.
    Conclusion
    The Yamaha FZ-FI is a well-rounded motorcycle that excels in urban environments. It offers a perfect blend of style, performance, and efficiency, making it a great choice for city commuters and occasional highway riders. Its comfortable ergonomics, advanced features, and reliable braking system further enhance its appeal. While it may not be the most powerful bike in its class, its overall package is hard to beat, providing excellent value for money.
    Pros:
    Stylish and aggressive design
    Smooth and efficient engine
    Excellent handling and maneuverability
    Comfortable riding position
    Good fuel efficiency
    Reliable braking with ABS
    Cons:
    Engine power could be higher
    Pillion seats might be cramped for larger passengers
    Lack of dual-channel ABS
    Overall, the Yamaha FZ-FI is a commendable motorcycle that ticks most boxes for urban riders looking for a dependable and stylish ride.

    The buying experience was very nice. The bike looks amazing and muscular and it is very comfortable for riding on highways and in the city. Servicing and maintenance are a little expensive but the people doing the service are very polite and they listen to you.
    Pros: affordable bike, good mileage, good looks and power of the bike
    Cons: The body material is made mostly of plastic. Shock absorbers could have been better for the bike

    The Yamaha FZ-FI is a popular street motorcycle that combines stylish design, solid performance, and advanced features, making it a well-rounded choice for urban riders. Here’s a detailed review covering various aspects of the bike:
    Design and Build Quality
    The Yamaha FZ-FI boasts a muscular and aggressive design, which is a signature of the FZ series. The bike's sculpted fuel tank, sharp LED headlamp, and sleek bodywork contribute to its streetfighter look. The build quality is robust, with a sturdy frame and high-quality materials used throughout. The attention to detail is evident in the fit and finish, giving it a premium feel.
    Engine and Performance
    The FZ-FI is powered by a 149cc, single-cylinder, fuel-injected engine that produces around 12.4 HP at 7,250 RPM and 13.3 Nm of torque at 5,500 RPM. The Blue Core technology ensures efficient combustion and better fuel economy. While it may not be the most powerful engine in its class, it offers smooth and linear power delivery, making it ideal for city commuting. The bike's acceleration is decent, and it can handle short highway rides comfortably.
    Ride and Handling
    One of the standout features of the FZ-FI is its excellent handling. The bike feels nimble and responsive, thanks to its lightweight frame and well-balanced chassis. The wide handlebars provide good leverage, making it easy to maneuver through traffic. The suspension setup, with telescopic forks at the front and a mono-shock at the rear, strikes a good balance between comfort and stiffness, absorbing bumps and undulations effectively.
    Braking and Safety
    The braking system on the FZ-FI is reliable, featuring a disc brake at the front and rear. The addition of single-channel ABS enhances safety by preventing wheel lock-up during sudden braking, providing better control. The brakes offer good stopping power and feedback, ensuring confidence-inspiring performance in various riding conditions.
    Comfort and Ergonomics
    The FZ-FI is designed with rider comfort in mind. The upright seating position, well-padded seat, and ergonomic handlebar placement ensure a relaxed riding posture, reducing fatigue on longer rides. The pillion seat is also reasonably comfortable, although it may be a bit cramped for larger passengers. The footpeg position is well-calibrated, offering a natural stance for both rider and pillion.
    Features and Instrumentation
    The FZ-FI comes equipped with a fully digital instrument cluster that displays essential information like speed, fuel level, trip meter, and more. The negative LCD display is easy to read even under direct sunlight. Other notable features include LED headlamps and tail lamps, ensuring better visibility and a modern aesthetic.
    Fuel Efficiency
    Fuel efficiency is one of the strong points of the FZ-FI. The bike delivers an impressive mileage of around 45-50 km/l, depending on riding conditions and style. This makes it an economical choice for daily commuting, helping riders save on fuel costs.
    Price and Value for Money
    The Yamaha FZ-FI is priced competitively in its segment, offering good value for money. Considering its stylish design, advanced features, reliable performance, and excellent fuel efficiency, it stands out as a strong contender in the 150cc segment. The cost of ownership is also reasonable, with Yamaha's reputation for durability and a widespread service network adding to its appeal.
    Conclusion
    The Yamaha FZ-FI is a well-rounded motorcycle that excels in urban environments. It offers a perfect blend of style, performance, and efficiency, making it a great choice for city commuters and occasional highway riders. Its comfortable ergonomics, advanced features, and reliable braking system further enhance its appeal. While it may not be the most powerful bike in its class, its overall package is hard to beat, providing excellent value for money.
    Pros:
    Stylish and aggressive design
    Smooth and efficient engine
    Excellent handling and maneuverability
    Comfortable riding position
    Good fuel efficiency
    Reliable braking with ABS
    Cons:
    Engine power could be higher
    Pillion seats might be cramped for larger passengers
    Lack of dual-channel ABS
    Overall, the Yamaha FZ-FI is a commendable motorcycle that ticks most boxes for urban riders looking for a dependable and stylish ride.

    Siddalingaprasad H S

    The buying experience was very nice. The bike looks amazing and muscular and it is very comfortable for riding on highways and in the city. Servicing and maintenance are a little expensive but the people doing the service are very polite and they listen to you.
    Pros: affordable bike, good mileage, good looks and power of the bike
    Cons: The body material is made mostly of plastic. Shock absorbers could have been better for the bike

  • Power packed despite small engine

    5 weeks ago


    Abhishek Kothari

    150cc is generally a smaller engine but with Yamaha that's not the case. With the right fuel and oil, the bike performs amazingly well. It's great in terms of handling because of the thick rear wheel and front disk brake. Maintenance wise it isn't much costly. I have regularly changed the oil which costs 250-350rs and regular services anywhere outside of the showroom would cost 200-300RS

  • Excellent bike

    5 weeks ago


    Mainak Chakraborty

    I bought this bike in September 2023. Completed 5500km till now. Gone for a long ride and off-road rides as well. Let me share some pros and cons.
    Pros:
    1. The engine is excellent. It's a Japanese engine and there is no way I can doubt it. I have achieved 103kmph top speed till now. Could have achieved more but due to the lack of an empty road, was unable to achieve it.
    2. Breaking is amazing. The ABS saved me so many times from fatal accidents. Rare engine braking is good too.
    3. The tyre pressure and quality are nice. It's a radial tyre and it helps to control the bike smoothly. The rare wide type gives an amazing grip on the road.
    4. Exhaust sound is bold. It suits the bike.
    5. The clutch works like butter. The mileage I get is 45-48 on the local streets and 55 on long roads.
    Cons:
    1. The tank quality is really poor. Even if it is fibre, you can tap it with your 1 finger and it will bend and come back to normal.
    2. The provided leg guard from the Yamaha showroom is pathetic. It will bend even if you hit it with a cricket bat.
    3. The silver colour plate right beside the gear paddle (life side) and right beside the break paddle (right side) will make your shoe black. Because the silver plate releases a black colour once your toe touches it while applying the break or changing the gear.
    4. The bike will start vibrating once you cross 63kmph speed on your speedometer. You can not watch anything on the rare view mirror properly after crossing 70kmph
    5. Yamaha used to provide back tyre leg guards with BS4 engines. Now they provide half mud guard which makes the bike dirty right below the pillion seat. If anyone sits on the pillion seat during the rainy season, their pant will get dirty for sure
    Rest, the bike is amazing. Best for long rides and senior persons can also sit on it.
    I chose Yamaha instead of Hero, TVS and Bajaj because of engine reliability and service.

    I bought this bike on 11/01/2024 with an EMI of Rs.20k down payment with BOI bank. If talk about riding it a very comfortable in the long run average is also good around 42-48 km per liter. About looking it looks decent in this price range performance is also good. I get 2 free services from the company
    Pros - I like about Yamaha it is very stable while riding also breaking system is good for this price range
    Cons - Nothing much but yes Yamaha can give more colors on FZ

  • Sporty look but hard suspension

    12 weeks ago


    Amit

    The buying experience was good; the dealer provided the bike on time.
    Big tires give a steady riding experience.
    The bulky tank gives a sporty look.
    Mileage is also between 45-50 based on riding.
    One servicing mechanic did even bother to listen to my request for suspension adjustment he told me there is not any setting.
    Pros-
    Sporty look
    Big tires steady ride
    Sometimes exhaust feels good.
    Mileage
    Cons-
    Fiber quality was not good even after a single-handed decent use tank cover lock was broken.
    Fiber quality is not good and gets scratched easily.
    Low-quality paint on the brake and clutch lever.
    The main dislike of bikes is the rear suspension, I sometimes feel like riding bicycles that hard it is.
    With pillion suspension works but in the single seat it is worse.
    For suspension, I am regretting to buy this and I will not recommend it to anyone.

    The buying experience was very nice. The bike looks amazing and muscular and it is very comfortable for riding on highways and in the city. Servicing and maintenance are a little expensive but the people doing the service are very polite and they listen to you.
    Pros: affordable bike, good mileage, good looks and power of the bike
    Cons: The body material is made mostly of plastic. Shock absorbers could have been better for the bike

  • Power packed despite small engine

    5 weeks ago


    Abhishek Kothari

    150cc is generally a smaller engine but with Yamaha that's not the case. With the right fuel and oil, the bike performs amazingly well. It's great in terms of handling because of the thick rear wheel and front disk brake. Maintenance wise it isn't much costly. I have regularly changed the oil which costs 250-350rs and regular services anywhere outside of the showroom would cost 200-300RS

  • Excellent bike

    5 weeks ago


    Mainak Chakraborty

    I bought this bike in September 2023. Completed 5500km till now. Gone for a long ride and off-road rides as well. Let me share some pros and cons.
    Pros:
    1. The engine is excellent. It's a Japanese engine and there is no way I can doubt it. I have achieved 103kmph top speed till now. Could have achieved more but due to the lack of an empty road, was unable to achieve it.
    2. Breaking is amazing. The ABS saved me so many times from fatal accidents. Rare engine braking is good too.
    3. The tyre pressure and quality are nice. It's a radial tyre and it helps to control the bike smoothly. The rare wide type gives an amazing grip on the road.
    4. Exhaust sound is bold. It suits the bike.
    5. The clutch works like butter. The mileage I get is 45-48 on the local streets and 55 on long roads.
    Cons:
    1. The tank quality is really poor. Even if it is fibre, you can tap it with your 1 finger and it will bend and come back to normal.
    2. The provided leg guard from the Yamaha showroom is pathetic. It will bend even if you hit it with a cricket bat.
    3. The silver colour plate right beside the gear paddle (life side) and right beside the break paddle (right side) will make your shoe black. Because the silver plate releases a black colour once your toe touches it while applying the break or changing the gear.
    4. The bike will start vibrating once you cross 63kmph speed on your speedometer. You can not watch anything on the rare view mirror properly after crossing 70kmph
    5. Yamaha used to provide back tyre leg guards with BS4 engines. Now they provide half mud guard which makes the bike dirty right below the pillion seat. If anyone sits on the pillion seat during the rainy season, their pant will get dirty for sure
    Rest, the bike is amazing. Best for long rides and senior persons can also sit on it.
    I chose Yamaha instead of Hero, TVS and Bajaj because of engine reliability and service.

    I bought this bike on 11/01/2024 with an EMI of Rs.20k down payment with BOI bank. If talk about riding it a very comfortable in the long run average is also good around 42-48 km per liter. About looking it looks decent in this price range performance is also good. I get 2 free services from the company
    Pros - I like about Yamaha it is very stable while riding also breaking system is good for this price range
    Cons - Nothing much but yes Yamaha can give more colors on FZ

  • Sporty look but hard suspension

    12 weeks ago


    Amit

    The buying experience was good; the dealer provided the bike on time.
    Big tires give a steady riding experience.
    The bulky tank gives a sporty look.
    Mileage is also between 45-50 based on riding.
    One servicing mechanic did even bother to listen to my request for suspension adjustment he told me there is not any setting.
    Pros-
    Sporty look
    Big tires steady ride
    Sometimes exhaust feels good.
    Mileage
    Cons-
    Fiber quality was not good even after a single-handed decent use tank cover lock was broken.
    Fiber quality is not good and gets scratched easily.
    Low-quality paint on the brake and clutch lever.
    The main dislike of bikes is the rear suspension, I sometimes feel like riding bicycles that hard it is.
    With pillion suspension works but in the single seat it is worse.
    For suspension, I am regretting to buy this and I will not recommend it to anyone.

    The Yamaha FZ-FI is a popular street motorcycle that combines stylish design, solid performance, and advanced features, making it a well-rounded choice for urban riders. Here’s a detailed review covering various aspects of the bike:
    Design and Build Quality
    The Yamaha FZ-FI boasts a muscular and aggressive design, which is a signature of the FZ series. The bike's sculpted fuel tank, sharp LED headlamp, and sleek bodywork contribute to its streetfighter look. The build quality is robust, with a sturdy frame and high-quality materials used throughout. The attention to detail is evident in the fit and finish, giving it a premium feel.
    Engine and Performance
    The FZ-FI is powered by a 149cc, single-cylinder, fuel-injected engine that produces around 12.4 HP at 7,250 RPM and 13.3 Nm of torque at 5,500 RPM. The Blue Core technology ensures efficient combustion and better fuel economy. While it may not be the most powerful engine in its class, it offers smooth and linear power delivery, making it ideal for city commuting. The bike's acceleration is decent, and it can handle short highway rides comfortably.
    Ride and Handling
    One of the standout features of the FZ-FI is its excellent handling. The bike feels nimble and responsive, thanks to its lightweight frame and well-balanced chassis. The wide handlebars provide good leverage, making it easy to maneuver through traffic. The suspension setup, with telescopic forks at the front and a mono-shock at the rear, strikes a good balance between comfort and stiffness, absorbing bumps and undulations effectively.
    Braking and Safety
    The braking system on the FZ-FI is reliable, featuring a disc brake at the front and rear. The addition of single-channel ABS enhances safety by preventing wheel lock-up during sudden braking, providing better control. The brakes offer good stopping power and feedback, ensuring confidence-inspiring performance in various riding conditions.
    Comfort and Ergonomics
    The FZ-FI is designed with rider comfort in mind. The upright seating position, well-padded seat, and ergonomic handlebar placement ensure a relaxed riding posture, reducing fatigue on longer rides. The pillion seat is also reasonably comfortable, although it may be a bit cramped for larger passengers. The footpeg position is well-calibrated, offering a natural stance for both rider and pillion.
    Features and Instrumentation
    The FZ-FI comes equipped with a fully digital instrument cluster that displays essential information like speed, fuel level, trip meter, and more. The negative LCD display is easy to read even under direct sunlight. Other notable features include LED headlamps and tail lamps, ensuring better visibility and a modern aesthetic.
    Fuel Efficiency
    Fuel efficiency is one of the strong points of the FZ-FI. The bike delivers an impressive mileage of around 45-50 km/l, depending on riding conditions and style. This makes it an economical choice for daily commuting, helping riders save on fuel costs.
    Price and Value for Money
    The Yamaha FZ-FI is priced competitively in its segment, offering good value for money. Considering its stylish design, advanced features, reliable performance, and excellent fuel efficiency, it stands out as a strong contender in the 150cc segment. The cost of ownership is also reasonable, with Yamaha's reputation for durability and a widespread service network adding to its appeal.
    Conclusion
    The Yamaha FZ-FI is a well-rounded motorcycle that excels in urban environments. It offers a perfect blend of style, performance, and efficiency, making it a great choice for city commuters and occasional highway riders. Its comfortable ergonomics, advanced features, and reliable braking system further enhance its appeal. While it may not be the most powerful bike in its class, its overall package is hard to beat, providing excellent value for money.
    Pros:
    Stylish and aggressive design
    Smooth and efficient engine
    Excellent handling and maneuverability
    Comfortable riding position
    Good fuel efficiency
    Reliable braking with ABS
    Cons:
    Engine power could be higher
    Pillion seats might be cramped for larger passengers
    Lack of dual-channel ABS
    Overall, the Yamaha FZ-FI is a commendable motorcycle that ticks most boxes for urban riders looking for a dependable and stylish ride.
