Yamaha FZ16

Old school Yamaha Fz 16 maintained well in all new condition. It was just purchased and driven only 13000 km and then kept as it was replaced by other vehicles due to a change of work and all. Hence bike was kept since not driven much. But the bike is in great shape one can test ride it and can feel the same.

About the Reviewer

I have been used in many cities and the bike performance is consistent. Regular service keeps the vehicle in good condition. Since there is no kickstart available make sure to keep the battery charged by using the bike regularly. Also, make sure to clean the air filter as it might choked if not maintained well.

About the Reviewer

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

pros

style

cons

maintenance cost,fuel efficiency,build quality,poor service
