[dragonforce]

not much diff between the 2 leh.. running cost and buying new ones.

really not much difference between maintaining a s4 and fz6?

[anric79]

My new fz6 S yr 2008 de bought 1mth ago. I found out my fuel consumption is 19km per litre. . Is it normal or very jialat. I never rev hard hard , and is 70% expressway(90-100kmph) and 30% city road.

 

I pump petrol 18L and clock 345km. So 345 divide 18 give me 19 km per litres.

U see huh... Lets break down the maintainance prices and compare

 

EO

Spec 3 uses 3L with oil filter change (i think)

Fz6 uses 2.8L with oil filter change

Oil filter same price for both.

 

So insignificant diff

 

Tyres-Lets compare say.. BT021 for both, since i'm familiar with their prices.

For Super 4 rear 160 front 120 about $320 can get.

For FZ6 rear 180 front 120 about $360 can get.

 

Price diff $40

BT021 can change rear tyre once and front tyre twice over the course of 40-50k milege; changing the front costs the same amount for both bikes.

 

Chain n Sprocket if u compare DID O or X Ring the diff is less than $80 between installing on FZ and on super 4

 

Brake pads, radiator flush, coolant, air filter wash etc are all roughly the same. It depends on the brand u choose. Installing or using aftermarket parts such as windshield, pipes and other accessories also depends on what you choose, and the bike model has a small impact on the prices. Insurance n road tax between a 400cc and 600cc is also not as large as comparing say... 400cc and 1000cc. FZ is also considered naked bike like super 4, even if u fit up all the fairings to pretend u are riding a sportsbike

 

Over the course of a year, the price in maintaining a super 4 n FZ is thus not much diff. If u can afford to maintain a super 4, u most likely can afford to maintain a fazer 600.

 

The best part is the fuel consumption i guess. Considering my 04 model fz6 hits about 22-23km/l now, I guess only super version S can outdo Fazers. Even the newer model fz6 can hit some 17 to 19km/L, equalling spec 3's consumption. Thats odd considering the HP differences.

 

The one downside i don't like about yamaha though, is that the idling is rougher and louder than Honda. If I wasn't riding fz6, i guess I would take a spec 1 or spec 3 anytime. I still like good old Honda's quiet engines and smooth handling.

hmmm i think it's ard this range for S2 series?

i pump 15 litres in but can go up to ard 280 kms only. on a average, it is ard 18.6 km/l. let's exclude out the reserve petols.

i once hit 300 km, but that running all along at 60-70 km/hr.

now i put side box, sometime also pillion. of cus the FC will increase.

anyway i jus got mine like 4 weeks only. it can't be air filter dirty le. maybe my right hand sometimes itchy nowadays after my 1st 1000 km servicing.
