common problem with hid's... is the installation your having a power drop... nowadays modern bikes are battery operated due to comp.box and dc cdi... if the system detects an amphere drop it will shut down... things you have to checks... battery terminal should be securely tight... check for loose ground lines, negative lines... hid should have its own harness usually comes up with the hid kit... hid positive and negative line should be connected directly to the battery. no alteration, or jumpers should be done... it adds resistance to the wire causing to power drop... secure the hid relay loose relay terminal will result to amphere shortage... MAKE SURE YOU CONNECT YOUR HID POSITIVE AND NEGATIVE LINE TO THE BATTERY TERMINAL... AND NO LINE SHARING... good day!

Did you use a OEM filter or aftermarket ones. Now if you use an aftermarket, did you know the company reputation as anyone can use old filter housing and use a non-spec filter to say it is doing what it is suppose to do. My suggetion is to spray the filter with K&N oil filter or similar very light oil, try it andd see if this is the cause, else just buy a new reputable OEM filter. Cheers

Well if you just bought it second hand, it is a good idea to flush and replace your coolant (water and oil + filter), in other word get it fully serviced.
If you are mechanically inclined then you should have an Owners Manual or get one from Haynes or even from the dealer.

Hi ,

1. carburetor must be cleaned as a black layered coating would be formed on that
2. Adjust th Knob that is present right under the tank until the RPM shows between 1000 and 1500 in the RPM indicator
3. Leave ur bike for service and as him to clean the air filter .
4. accelerate slowly as it leads to maximum fuel efficiency
5. Don't raise ur bike too much unnecessarly as it spoils the tuning

it is diffrent way diff 1990 throw 1996 is same but after that they changed

Check/replace your spark plug and clean your carburetor.

First thing I'd do is charge the battery. Whilst there may be some residual charge left in it after 2 months or more, which is why you'll get a peep out of the horn and maybe some glimmer in the lights, there is probably insufficient power for the starter motor to turn over the engine which will be a very high current drain in comparison. Of course you could always try bump-starting it. Just need someone to give you a good push unless you live on a steep hill.
Hope this helps

the radiator operates at 90 degrees and above so dont worry it is an expected behaviour

its an electronic limiter, part of the CDI

Have you checked the cogs if any are bent . Also make sure nothing is caught in the cogs and chain,Check that chain does'nt have a tight spot on it. if it has it will need replacing or taken off and soaked in penatrine dried properly and reoiled.

that means trouble, specially when the noise goes away when you press the clutch. Here are you possible issues.

Unbalanced Cam.
Broken Shaft bearing
Broken lining.
About to be broken gear selector.

Best move is to take this to the dealer where you bought it and have it replaced with a new unit, this will surely get you mad when your bike becomes a rolling chassis because of this issue.

WELL I WOULD CHACK FAN SWITCH I THINK YOUR ON RAD SHOULD HAVE TWO WIRES GOING TO IT WHEN IT IS HOT IT SHOULD SHOW GROUND OR POWER DEPENDING ON SYSTEM SO LETS SAY ITS GROUND SYSTEM THEN YOU SHOULD SHOW GROUND ON BOTH WIRES IF YOU HAVE GROUND ON BOTH SIDE WHEN HOT SWITCH IS GOOD THEN I WOULD CHECK FUSE OR FAN MOTOR HOPE THIS HELPS

I am From Nepal. I bought this Yamaha FZ-16 few weeks ago. Total K.M run is 1567. Now my bike is giving off white smoke both in cold & hot condition and also in low as well as high RPM. Can figure out the reason for that. Can anyone help me out. I went to the Yamaha Care center, and they say that i need to replace my bike's ring piston.

In the earlier model, 15 is a TPS (Throttle Position Sensor) problem.
I'm not sure the codes are the same for the 09, so be aware of that.

My recommendation would be to take bike to dealer for investigation - bike is clearly a new model and under warranty - best to have it resolved. 

on the carb there is a screw sticking out with a little spring on it screw it in 1/4 of a turn to take the revs up a tad

Sounds like the tank isn't venting properly. Next time you hear the hiss, try opening the gas cap. If that makes it stop, it should also drop the idle speed. If so, you need to pull the tank and make sure the tank vent hose isn't pinched.

Put it up on your stand, lossen the axel, and remove the bolt on the bottom of the shock. Then tighten your chain, and lift your swingarm up until its horizontal with the ground, then the chain should have almost no play. Not completely tight, but almost no play. Tighten the axel, and the bolt on the shock, and your set
