I have a new 2010 yamaha FZ 16 motorbike at 1,500in mileage. Since the beginning the carburetor has not performed normally. It seems that the air and fuel mixture is not right. The engine stalls frequently when or while the engine is cold or just started, and even when it is already warm or hot and running, especially when I ride slow between 20 to 40 KPH, that I have to pump gas and switch to a lower gear as the engine tend to stall or die out. At mileage 500K, I took the bike to a yamaha dealer for its first warranty check. I pointed out the problem with the carb and the mechanic thought that there is water or gum/dirt in the carb so he opened and cleaned up the carb. I didn't see any water nor anything that came out as I watch the mechanic "overhauled" the carb. He adjusted and calibrated the mixtures and everything but the problem remains until now. Do I have a "lemon" carburetor here or what? Please help me...

First of all it is still under warranty, if you do anything un-authorised, the warranty will be void and you'll be blamed for causing it. My suggestion, for the moment "be a stink", go back to the dealer and keep bugging them until the matter is satisfactorily fixed.
The matter is air-mixture is still not right secondly the cold idle is not working properly thirdly your power needle still stuck closed so when it is warm/hot it will not supply enough fuel to run smoothly. What you may try is keeping your choke close at all time when still cold, does it make a difference, if yes then your air-mixture is lean ==>cold idle needle is still closed.
All in all I would pester the dealer to get it right without voiding your current warranty. Once your warranty have elapsed then you can fiddle around with the bike. Good ehough?

2007 Yamaha v star 650 fuel milage?

frankly if it were mine and if runs great now then let it run .. the leaner the mixture the hotter the combustion which can burn valves. it might get better mileage after break-in but if 40 is what you got then 40 might be all you get.. Thats about what my vulcan gets. if you want really high MPG then you have to sacrifice speed .. a moped will get around 70MPG but it's not much fun and has no power to get out of the path of danger
