@@pravinmurthy bro 5th gear is ok for city,but when you are doing long distance touring at 100-110kmph,you will definitely feel that this bike should have 6th gear
@@pravinmurthy it there was a 6th gear the engine would have been a bit more smoother in that .. say it would be doing 100kmph in 5,500 rpm and thats a big difference
@@anuragsabar21 if there was a 7th gear then it can do it in 4500rpm😋 Yamaha are masters of engineering.. won't they know whether their engine needs a 6th gear!!
the 2019 abs version has improved alot .. i own a matte blue one and it's really good to ride in the city !! it's just the service centre guys that need to pay some attention for doing there work nicely.. there is too much of carelessness
Been 2yrs with Fz25, clogged 43000 km, I hv No Complaints Milage 39 kmpl Route --- Colaba - Andheri , Colaba - Vashi, BKC, Parel, Bandra Kurla all heavy trafic areas it gets The Job done . 😆⚽👍
Its an clattering and the rattling sound in the Engine that comes about 80kmph, i.e because of the losse fits to the upper right side of the engine which needs to be tightened looks just like a saucer plates . Once the screws are tightened or fastened u will instantly appreciate the improved performance of the engine..
I have been using this machine for now 4 mnts but the milage is very low. I get a milage of 25 to 26 kmpl. I don't not hard accelerate neither i ride at high speeds.
@@godblackdeath3271 My friend , now u see, riding smoothly in 60 kmph in 5th gear will definitely give u 38 kmpl at least. I do not kno whr u live ? which city , does it hav open roads ? or Traffic routes ?. Let me kno few things above surely will help u further. Short Note ; try riding 45kmph on a 4th gear cuz the ratio really matters. 😄⚽👍
we are in the same boat for having 2009 FZ16. But i cant imagine going for FZ25 cos i will only be switching from 150cc to 250cc engine, rest is literally the same or worst. Same 5 speed. Same suspension. I hope you enjoy the bike.
@@JayanandSupali yeah thts wht keeps me bugging as well...my friends own fz25 and i rarely think tht a 6th gear is needed in cities...but once you step out to the highways a 6th gear then becomes a kindoff necessity..well still thinking wat to do !
fz25 engines gets smoother and smoother, the more you ride. after 20000kms the bike feels way smoother than on day 1, mine is 25k odo this is very cheap to maintain as well. Bike is well put together that noting will start to rattle if you do some serious off-road too. Excellent machine. Pillion friendly too.
@I am anonymous i have done all the services myself till date. so labour charge is nill. total maintanence cost till date is like ₹8-8.5k. Chain sprocket yet to change. This expense include changing airfilters every 8-10k kms. Mileage is exactly as mentioned in this video.
if you own fz25 and upgarde to bigger Bikes in future, you will struggle to pick one because the throttle response of fz25 is like benchmark, nothing in this segment or higher can match.
I have riden this bike for 300km , in the night the throw of the headlight is below average , all though it is a led unit , it is not that good headlight for night ride Its low end punch is 🔥🔥 for city rides is good , in highways after 120 km/hr it's struggles , still no need of that much of speed 80-110 is safe for highway
@@alanjoe749 after 120 km/hr it Little struggle the vibration is felt on the footpegs , and the little on the handle bar , this bike is not for top end riding it has a ozm low end and engaging mid range
After one year with 8000kms Pros :- Great Handling, Smooth riding, Remarkably comfortable suspension, Satisfying milage, Road presence Cons :- Missing sixth gear
@@aftabpathan3148 in cities I maintain a max of 60-85 kmph I highways around 90-110 kmph... Mileage depends on several factors I maintain oil change every 3k kms with motul 7100 and lube chain every 500 kms and maintain adequate tyre pressure.. Just keep it healthier to give u that prefect mileage numbers.. Before my first service it was lik 32-35 kmpl.. Once ur engine is all set and after a couple of services it grows with u.. 😊🙌
It’ll put a smile on your face everytime you bang open the throttle 😍 The torque is so addictive You don’t even need to drop a gear to disappear, there’s enough torque in every gear
Everytime when I open my throttle, I only open till 6k rpm which is more freaking enough to overtake any fu*king motorcycle ahead me. Such a brilliant torque that splits at torque band from 2k to 6k and even upto 10k. Wow😍 I'm still in love with my bike💙
i own fz25 since 2017 September i have faced the following issues :- *Headlights have literally no illumination* *Bell ringing sound coming for the engine* *after riding sometime about 45-50 minutes you will feel a weird sound coming from the engine* *my engine broke down only after 10 - 15 days after i purchased the bike , and when i complaint the customers care they took it to the service centre and i got it repaired within 1 month . They told me that the engine screw came out .( also told me that its the rarest case seen so far)* *sometimes when you shift gear from 2nd to 1st it won't shift* *Sometimes when you put on the keys and turn on ignition it doesn't starts . If you have unused the bike for more than 2 weeks* *the non abs variant brakes are pathetic , i have changed brake pads twice within 10,000 kms* *Gears are very hard , if you're looking for smooth shifts this bike is not for you* *seats are very badly cushioned , butt hurt after 1hr continuous ride* *position of Rear brake is really up so a taller person can't keep his legs on the footrests and apply brakes or not apply the brakes ( you have to change the leg position each time you want to apply brakes)* *Most important thing , heavy rusting on screws , nuts and bolts and exhaust pipes and grills*
indeed bro when i purchased the bike it was the first single lever bike i was riding earlier i rode , hero honda passion x pro so i felt very good riding this bike due to torque and first 250cc i rode it felt that way ...but with time and experience i felt that this bike is not upto the mark
I heard some other owners too complained almost every points you mentioned here. Yamaha need to take serious steps to solve these permanently and add some basic things like: 6th gear, oil cooling, better instrument cluster, long durable spares, etc. Atleast when launching in BS6 guise...
I think it is more like 250 performing like 220cc PS power yet torque of 250cc. This I feel is way better than claimed 200 performing like 150, with fuel efficiency of 300cc, if you get what I mean.
Very informative and interesting long term review. I own this motorcycle. Absolutely comfortable with the seating( no back pain). The mileage for my kinda riding is around 40. This really is an everyday motorcycle. I can even suggest this motorcycle for older riders. I live in Chikmagalur district Karnataka and I have observed that a lot of riders tour the beautiful countryside on this motorcycle.
My own Fz25 great ride experience Mumbai to kolhapur two times Having top speed 140km/h & also give me lesser time to catching destination great millage 👍
It's been 5 YEARS and still running very SMOOTH.....!!!!! I didn't regret after the purchased. Actually every motorcycles needs a proper maintenance Time to time..and i ❤ to do it. Milage highest i got was 43 Km/l. Average milage is 37-38 Km/l. Didn't face any major issues till now. 😊 Quick throttle response which helps me to overtake any vehicle on traffic 🚦 and DISAPPEAR...!!!!! 😄👍🏻 BEST motorcycle for any city commuter.
Really Proud Owner of FZ25 from last 19-20 months,It’s made for Middle Class Indian,yes it’s not Powerful as KTM or so but you can Get Almost everything Like Descent Power and Torque and Most Importantly KMPL!
I’m getting 33-41kmpl. On heavy Traffic You will get 33 kmpl and Normal City Riding 35-38kmpl and on Long ride You can get Upto 41kmpl. All depends on your Riding Style!
This is one of the moat practical bike i have ever owned, i have the bike for for 2 years and yes it surprise me every time. The only thing sometimes i miss is top end while doing highway rides but for city ride this is pure love and i dont mind less of any tech and i think less tech is the best part.
Indeed it's an amazing machine... I own it as well, the same color for the last 2 yrs nd am happy with it.. it's just a beast for city streets, though lacks speed aftr 120kmph on highways.. My Fz25 is like my son...😊
FZ 25 has two major problems ... Rear break pads worn out every 4000 kms.... And in Yamaha the cost is Rs ...950 .... And Rusting over the exhaust near engine .... ☹️ Baaki bike achchhi hai
i have the 2019 version.. the rear brake lever has been positioned a bit lower in this.. you could swap the new lever i guess for the brake issue. and for the exaust , the pipe has also been changed.. try swapping this too.. if it's possible
I have ridden 8.5k Kms still not changed the break pads( front and back ). It's the slight adjustment that should be made so that I doesn't worn out. Ask the Yamaha service centre guys to adjust and it ll do a good job.
Does it have the accleator problem which gets really hard during rainy season... I have the fzs and every year during rainy season it's accleator cabel gets really really hard because of being in open parking... I'm thinking of upgrading so can you clarify?
The fact is that in the poll , most of them will select the bike which is been reviewed on the channel , and if the same bike is shown in another poll with competition no one will select it in the poll 😂😂 more poll for fz25 here 😅
Please highlight the cons of bikes :- 1.rattling problems (in Yamaha 😵) even headlight rattles. 2. Strange sound coming from engine (with possible reliability conserns) 3. Worst after sale support.
I use motul 7100 fully synthetic oil And guess what the engine and performance both gets dramatic effect Only cons lack of 6th gear ,rusting silencer pipe and instrument cluster other wise all is great ....simply WOW.....😊
Proud Owner❣ The North-east roads we're a treat for this bike. Especially, the National Highways near the China Border. Thanks for the review, my second service is lined up soon.
Just the other day i was riding back home post-sunset and it had rained a bit. At some point, there was only an FZ25 riding right beside me thru a dark path. I switched off the lights on my bike to see how much the FZ25's LED light was illuminating. TO my horror, it was quite literally non-existant. I always suspected it and it turned out to be true. The 6000k colour temperature light on it is absolutely horrible on wet road. And road illumination is very very important to me. Nice sum up by Dhanil. The bike is quite nice. But imagine how even nicer it would have been for long-distance with 6 gears. Or say slightly better instrument console. This bike could have been a runaway success if they would have added small but essential features. Currently, i feel Yamaha seems to be destined to Axe their own leg with products and pricing that is absolutely bizarre. If they added all the mentioned things and priced it 1.5, it would have been a compelling buy. I will stick to my 10-year-old FZ16 which still runs like a gem. And hope that Suzuki brings out naked 250cc version of Gixxer SF.
I've always wanted this bike as my primary city commuter and within MH highway machine. But others expressed the lack of 6th gear, larger info screen and slipper clutch as deal breakers. On second thoughts, even my car doesn't have a 6th gear. I guess I'm sorted. Your long-term review cements the deal for me Dhanil.
i watch the video as i thought it is R15 review, i continued watching as i thought it is R15 review, i watch till the end as i thought it is R15 review..i am fan of this fz25 but V3, that one is love
A little bit more power like 25 to 26 bhp A moderate looking console And 6th gear or I would say cruising gear Add those ingredients and the Fz25 is complete
Waiting for a real world road test and eventually a long-term review of the Suzuki Gixxer SF 250........the rain ravaged roads in and around Mumbai will be a perfect test for it
Just maintain it religiously. It's a great bike. Take care. I crashed mine and now thefron suspension is hit and the wheel alignment is gone, I can't drive that beast like I used to... Just take care it's a bomb
I used to own a 220F. I have ridden an FZ25. I would go for FZ25 any day over a Pulsar 220F, due to better rearview mirrors, faster 0-100 time, lesser vibrations, lighter clutch, a better exhaust note, Fuel Injection, and most importantly better fuel efficiency.
I have never ridden P220F and tried FZ25 couple of times, Yamaha is known for butter smooth engine and FZ is no exception, I enjoyed riding it. But there are few things I didn't like: 1) headlight is attractive but visibility is not enough. 2) lot of wind blast after 80kmph. 3) Instrument console is informative but small, gear position indicator missing. 4) lack of 6th gear missing, if one considers for highway rides.
The Exhaust header Pipe rusting issue. after just 1 year. it looks odd. I know this issue has been solved in new edition. Other than this ,bike is Lord of Streets.
Just give the r15 instrument cluster... #yamaha #fz25 In this price range it's the best... -20.6bhp+20.nm torque -Dual channel ABS -New exhaust (old one had ruating problem) But with liquid cool(FI)+6th gear+25ps of power+MT15 console its will be the beast
I have done 12k km on the bike and must say that the bike outperforms every other bike on street. This bike is for a mature audience though who dont believe in showoff and just want to get the job done. And this bike... my friend !! This bike is a wolf in the clothes of a sheep.
FZ25 really looks like a logical choice. Look forward for your review of the new 2020 FZ/FZS 25. That said , Dhanil , the exhaust pipe looks really , really rusted. Is it rust? or mud?
Confused with R15 and FZ25. Which one shall I buy.? Right now I own FZs V2, And I want to upgrade CC but the looks of R15 is Damn Good. Can't resist the looks of R15 . Confuse 🤔
@@kibosuminaga3588 MT 15 is also superb, but many people said its high speed stability is not that good. It feels flighty at high speeds itseems. Do factor that as well when making a decision.
@@kibosuminaga3588 Welcome. But have you ridden the R15 before? For atleast 50-60 km? The seating position is great for highways, but, it sucks for stop and go City traffic.
