Yamaha Fazer Fi 23000km ride user review by Imtiaz Ahmed

I started bike riding with Bajaj Pulsar 150 and with that my story started. Peoples desire to have bike and to ride their own bike but not every is lucky enough to fulfill their dream. By the grace of Allah I have used four personal bikes and at present I have two bikes. Those two are Yamaha Fazer 150 FI (The best touring bike in Bangladesh) and another one is Victor R Classic. For the city rides I use Victor R and when I need to go for long rides I use Yamaha Fazer and have a wonderful journey. I bought my Fazer from the own dealer of ACI motors named inverse Motors and after I buy this machine I am able to ride around 23000 kilometers path within two years without having any major problems. There few long rides among these 23000 kilometers ride and for that I was able to know better about this bike. I might say I know almost everything about my bike. As I have completed a long journey with this bike of 23000 kilometers so now I think it is the time to share few words about the performance and other things of this bike. Today I am going to share my personal opinion about this motorcycle which I have gathered within this 23000 kilometers riding.

If I start talking with the design of Yamaha Fazer then I must within this kind of budget this bike is really a monster and the design is really very muscular. There are very few people who do not like the design of Yamaha Fazer in our country. This bike is designed arrow dynamically and for that the wind will be passing through the riders when they will ride this bike on high speed and that will help them for riding comfortably. Not only that I personally tested the more you can accelerate the more you will get speed from this bike.

Along with the design I want discuss about an important thing of this bike and that is the build quality. Body parts of this bike are made of plastics and for that reason peoples may ask one question and that is how the build quality is. According to my experience the build quality is perfect, no lacking is seen yet and every needed thing are placed as they required. After riding 23000 kilometers with this bike I never felt that the body parts will broke down that easily. I feel the same energy at this bike like the new one.

I started my saying with a dialogue and that was Yamaha Fazer is the best touring bike in Bangladesh at its own segment. For that another question will be raised in mind and that is the comfort, Seating position of this bike is perfect and for that riding this bike for a long duration is not a problem at all, no back pain, no tiredness or shoulder pains. Seat height is ideal for every rider. In one day I have traveled around 350 kilometers with this bike and I never feel shortage of comfort and I wasn’t tired at all.
Talking about the control if you say for the city roads or the highways I will control of Yamaha Fazer is best. Especially for the up-right handle bar riding becomes more enjoyable.

Now lets us talk about the technical sides:

Engine:
Nowadays the engine performance is smoother than the newer engine. I observed that if the engine is running most of the time the performance gets smoother. Engine never gets over heated but after 80 KM/H speed it started to vibrate. This engine offer the perfect speed on ideal RPM and my personal top speed is 111 KM/H. I haven’t found any major problems at this bikes engine and for the FI technology used for the engine I can have good power output and over all outstanding performance.

Braking:
Yamaha never compromises with their braking. I also get excellent performance from the both brakes but I personally think that ABS braking is required for this kind of bike.

Suspension:
I must have to praise about the suspensions of this motorcycle. Combination of the front telescopic and rear mono shock gives the best quality performance not only at the on roads but also at the off roads as well.

Tyres:
Tyres size is wider enough and they are very well gripped indeed. No fear of the skidding but during hard brakes tyres will skid that we all know. So we better leave this matter it is required for all bikes.

Electrical:
Almost all the electrical features are up to the mark but the headlamp is short of power I think. it need to be better.

Mileage:
Yamaha claims that for the FI engine the mileage will be good without a doubt. After riding this bike for 23000 kilometer I am getting 40-45 KM/L mileage and I think for this kind of monstrous bike this type of mileage is perfect and I am happy with it.

Price:
When I bought this bike at the year of 2016 the price was around TK 3 lack. According to me the price was higher because at the same segment and category the other bikes were lower in price. These days the price is lessen but the other companies also reduced their prices so the same thing remains.

Generally I service my bike from the authorized service center inverse motors. I like their service but I didn’t like their service charge at all. In general they are well behaved and they are well capable to detect the problems and to solve them but I do have complaint about the service charge.

I didn’t find any bigger problems within these two years which I have to share with you all. I never bothered with the small problems like the chain set which I fixed as early as possible.

So this was my personal riding experiences with Yamaha Fazer 150 FI, stay safe ride safe.
Thank you.
