[Resolved]  Yamaha Fz 16 — Air leak between rim and tyre

Address:Chennai, Tamil Nadu

Hi,
I bought yamaha fz 16 on November 2008. The bike was good till one year after which i had a problem in front tyre like air leak between the rim and tyre.The air reduces and becomes 10 psi from 28 psi in one day. Since it is a tubeless tyre i took it to MRF people. They said there is leak in beeding so they scrathed some paint in the rim where the tyre sits on it. Then the bike was good for one month.
Again the problem started.The air reduces and becomes 10 psi from 28 psi in one day. I took it to MRF again. But they sai the problem will rim and not with MRF tyre. so i took it to "SRI YAMAHA MOTORS" CHENNAI. Where they took one day and did the same scratching work on the paint and gave back the bike.
They billed 150 rupees with 8% tax for this useless work and they promised there wont be any air leak. But there was ar leak on next day itself.
Now wat shall i do with the YAMAHA rim?. Can i ask to change in warrenty ? It is all because of there low quality paint on the rim.

Asaithambi.

This has been the most common problem with yamaha vehicles, ill-maintained service centres with rotten and no good service men.

They are not equiped to support such a bike, if properly serviced the bike is a joy to ride.nevertheless its hard to happen, Yamaha is unable to sustain like bajaj or Hero Honda for the same reason.

Hope their top honchos start using their brains to understand customers to sustain in the market.

I have a Yamaha FZS myself and had to face the same ire, not even 1 year old and the tyre has lots its sheen and gets punctured frequently.

I repent for wasting my hard earned money.
Same problem happened with my new FZ v3 BS6 bike yet to be solved. At present, this bike is big burden for me cause It is needed to Air filling before every ride.
