[Group] Yamaha FZ16

[Pulser]

Don't be mistaken. I feel that there is still justice in (buying) the FZ16.

One thing beats all the above - maintenance. One less thing = one less problem.

 

Look how well the porsche air-cooled engines worked. They were superb in long or short distance drives. No worrying of the fan or radiator breaking down.

 

Having 2 valves means less fuel goes in and better consumption.

 

Of cos a 6th gear is better. In cost savings, 5 gears beats it. Spark has only 4 gears.

 

Drum brakes brake better as there is more contact surface compared to discs. Just that it doesn't cool as fast. Aesthetically, of cos the discs look better.

 

How many bikes are petal discs now? Not many.

 

FZ has got:

Yoshi available for install.

Tons of accessories.

Fat tyres.

ST model is an option.

 

No pun intended.

 

 

Very nicely composed reply. I like your half glass full approach

You think FZ16 parts are gonna be any cheaper? If you think so you are in for a shock. Its not pulsar parts expensive, Singapore, in general is expensive. FZ16 also for original parts you need to go back to agent, dont tell me you can get it at Ah Boy, haha.

 

I would say Universal motors is quite fair in pricing and their mechanics are very friendly and try to solve the issue by spending a lot of time and somethings they dont even charge,extra. I am not working for UM, but I have a pulsar and I am very happy with UM's service. They have never made me wait for any parts no matter how small or insignificant the part is. Some people bring their own parts from India, yet UM will not mind and just charge labour. I doubt whether you will get an agent as good as UM. Anyways good luck

 

Well. to tell u the truth. Ah boy do stock up FZ16 parts and spares. Oil filter original ah boy selling also. Planet have stock up oil filters for FZ16. A stretch down rowell and desker rd. All the stockist. FJT, Automachinery, weda have FZ16 parts. Aftermarrket parts also getting alot.

 

Fun part is almost every bike shop u go to have parts and can service FZ16.

 

anyway, each to his own. I chose the FZ16 family cos I dowan water cooled. lesser parts to bother about.

pats from indian is cheap. HL RRP for oil filter is 7-7.50. Most important for me is common bikes parts will be more abundant.

I dowan to go thru the trouble ordering from overseas or at the mercy of sole supplier.

 

Anyway, Not all bikers will get engine spare parts from Ah boy lah. Filters and some minor stuff maybe. But certain things U would just want to get from authorised dealers only.

 

anyway, each to his own. There are stories about both mentioned brand that is not pleasant. WIll not say it here.

 

But the key is, U like it and it fits ur criteria, it's a good bike. Pulsarr, FZ16, Duke and whatevcer other brand. it does not mattars anymore.

What kinda aftermarket parts for FZ16? Where to get them and how much?

[riderreborned]

Hi All,

 

anyone has any idea how much an FZ16 (both spanking brand new and second hand) cost otr these days? and anyone has any reviews/comments for the tvs apache 180? the pics in the used bike section look pretty decent, but cant seem to find any reviews for that.

 

i'm 31, and am looking to start riding again (after 8 years). trying to get a feel of the market pricings and compare reviews before i decide which set of wheels to get.

 

thanks bros...

Hi FZ-ians~

 

 

By any chance if any of you guys are looking into getting good quality GOREtex jackets/raincoat. Please give my product a consideration too.

Alot of color choices and not the common brands of raincoat riders are using. Quality of water resistant is as good as NS issued. However, it's of a much thinner layers to suit our hot climate. Mutiple air ventilation zippers on the jacket too for riding during the day to protect from sun. More info please refer to thread or contact us! Thanks and ride safe! Cheers!~~
