5)

Pick up

Cons:-

I felt back pain for long riding for 300 kmps

Engine heats like fire

Buying experience was good.

About riding, i have completed about 66k on fz-s. It is a fantastic looking bike, best in class, superb handling, superb grip because of wide tyres.... Sturdy bike, very strong suspensions. I did off-roading on this bike with ease and excellent comfort. Used to get mileage of around 30-35 kmpl. It was truly "lord of the streets" as yamaha promised at that time.

Although maintenance of this bike was bit more than other bikes but it gets paid by look and performance of bike.. ;)

Pros: best looking, wide tyres, light weight, full lcd speedo, sturdy, comfort.

Cons: average mileage, bit expensive maintenance as compared to other bikes, struggles to go near 100kmph speed...

I'm a proud owner of a black & green yamaha fz-s ver. 1.0

Ownership -

First owner. Bought the bike in December 2010.

Total distance covered -

1 lakh 4 thousand kilometres till date (and counting...)

Places visited on my bike -

Goa, mangalore, bengaluru, madurai, rameshwaram, pondicherry, mahabalipuram, vellore, down south. And, udaipur, ajmer, mount abu, ahmedabad, jammu & kashmir, and ladakh, up north. Apart from them, the nearby alibag, lonavla, pune, dhule, jalgaon trips.

About the bike, seating & riding experience -

It's typically a naked city commuter bike, light weighted, and perfect for a solo rider. The pillion seating position, however, is terribly uncomfortable because it inclines at an angle wherein the pillion will constantly feel pressure on their knees, whenever they sit for long duration.

Power -

The bike houses a fairly good amount of power for you to cruise on the highways.

Top speed -

I have touched 127 kmph top speed, with stock parts.

Fuel tank capacity -

12 l

Mileage -

40kmpl (average) across 7 years.

Servicing & maintenance -

Roughly rs. 900/- to 1500/- (lesser if in amc). Parts, however, are a tad bit expensive than bajaj. But, the quality is quite good. Then again, charges incurred for maintenance almost entirely depends on the riding style and the frequency of servicing done.

Pros -

1. Costs under 1 lakh

2. Stylish design

3. Can be taken for touring (solo)

4. Good mileage

5. Spare parts available in most parts of India

6. Great for city riding

3) service network

4) light gearbox

6) built quality

7) braking

8) off the line acceleration

9) panic braking

10) high speed stability

11) spares availability

12) planted feel around corners

13) pillion comfort

Cons:-

1) weight (in segment)

2) in-gear acceleration

3) fuel economy

4) service cost

5) noise vibration harshness kicks in as early as 100-105kmph

6) loss of refinement at high speed

7) high wear and tear of spares

8) lack of punch in later half of 2nd gear and throughout 3rd,4th & 5th gear

9) high cost of spares

10) lack of facility at service centre

11) wait-time for service appointment

12) service time

13) unskilled and ruff handling at service centre by staff ,service personnel & even service advisers at times

Buying experience was awesome and i am happy as a owner .Riding is just perfect for day to day usage and look wise this bike is perfect and very high performance bike about servicing i didn't get any major servicing issue till now from last 3 years very low maintenance bike.About pros and cons theirs nothing everything is perfect but accept mileage .

Overall performance is good. Best bike for everyday use by yamaha. Good mileage, looks, price, engine.

Low maintenance. I get it serviced once a year, but even then it does not trouble. I ride it daily for about 40-45 kms. I get mileage of 51 kmpl.

So, according to me it is the best bike i have ever used.

I will strongly recommend this who is looking for looks and mileage together for daily commute.
