Yamaha Motor India Complaints & Reviews

Hi Ankit

FZ's rims are really of poor quality and the same happened to me. First time I accepted their claim of accidental damage and claimed insurance for it. But it happened to me again, within one month of replacing the rim with a new one. The front rim also bent.

I'm filing a case against Yamaha in the consumer forum. You can join in or file a case of your own. Anyways this article would help me in negating their claim that "no complaints are received about rims".

Yamaha / Fz16 — Bad service and business loss

As i visted many time at yahama service station in Panchkul regarding by FZ 16 bike service
every time i visted they do check it properly

at this time I refused to take delivery of the vehicle and said to make it ready and will take it once the bike is completely serviced. Till today i keep on calling service dept for the status and no service mechanics doesnt know the status and they say that they will call me and inform me the status.

Even after speaking to the owner of the showroom who promised me that he will arrange the spare and get it done. Till today my vehicle is with the dealer and not yet ready.

Am much worried about the status.

sir,
i've purchased a yamaha fz16 on august, but during an accident i lost my front wheel bush, when am asking at the showroom they sent the company not giving them the parts ...what shame for such a company...nw fz16 is a headache for me...i will not propose this for nobody...

i have purchased yamaha fz16 on 26 june09.. from the beginning there was sound from front disc, i went to dealer, they told me to change the brake shoe..after 2 days same problem occured, , , , , , , and more the bike always punctures

Hell lot of puncture problems...

my self mado singh i have purchase a fz16 from bareilly on 3/12/09
i am lay down some problem infront of you
every morning bike self is not working due to this facing many problem

Hi, im Pranjal and i have had the same problem within 3 months...the front rim cracked...but i dont know what they are going 2 say about it! on the phone they are already talking about claiming insurance which is bad bcoz the warranty should cover it..
what is the recomended step?

I also suffer from same problem.

Modern day Cars come with pedestrian safety, in which the front of the Car is designed such that in case of an impact, the pedestrian won't be hurt gravely.

Similarly, Yamaha's alloy wheels are rigid upto a point. Post which they bend/break easily and take the impact in case of a crash.

yes in 8 days my rear tyre puncture. worst bike in india ever

i ride just 1km.. but speedometer goes up 5 km..

I purchased yamaha alpha, today, When they delivering the vehicle i noticed that the scooter already cover 44km.. After delivery of vehicle i ridden just 1 km, i found that speedo meter reading goes up 49 km... What did'nt here..

Hello sir,
I S.Rajshekhar own a vehicle of reputed brand YAMAHA MOTORS. I bought YAMAHA FZ16 on 14th feb 2009 at (sri srinivasa automobiles), opp sbi dondaparthy, VIZAG. And almost all my free servicing has been done to my vehicle and I am left with 1 free service coupon, as still my bike has a warranty period, and on 24st October 2009 the bike suddenly stopped at night, as the following day is 25th oct 2009 fall on Sunday so with the help of showroom mechanic (Srinu) on Monday 26th oct I have given the bike to check the complaint. And it turned to be wiring defect and totally the wiring kit and the speedo meter panel got spoiled. Mr. V. VENKAT (service manager) did not handled the case properly and said warranty will not be given and had to pay RS 3500 and take the wiring and new panel, and also said even the battery should be changed and have to pay for that as well, and the tie up with AMCO normal battery is given to my bike at the time of purchase and still the battery is under warranty and said will not be given by them as well and when we asked for the dry cell as given to other bikes but MR. Venkat said will try and adjust that battery its still working. The service engineer is least responsible towards the customer queries and said that he is not suppose to escalate this issue to the company. And before 24th oct jus 1 week before my free servicing has been done and I say that due to inefficiency of the staff and I consider MR. Venkat is the least responsible person working for a reputed company YAMAHA MOTORS. So I request to take this issue to be escalated to the RND (research and development) department to look into the problem to avoid such cases to come across in future, and I am sending you the attached photos of the wiring and looking foreword for the solution and the bike should be delivered as soon as possible, can mail to my mailing address or call me on my mobile number: [protected]. And I am waiting for the reply and the next action to be taken by YAMAHA MOTORS and not the dealer.

Thanking you,
Yours faithfully,
(RAJ SHEKHAR SINGURU)

Dear Sir,

I have Purchased Yamaha Fz-16,[protected] from your authorised dealer M/s.Jinder Yamaha, New Delhi . I also have got it serviced as per your service schedule, untill now it has got serviced four times.

I would like to bring to your notice that from the very beginning i have been facing problems like lesser mileage (30 kmpl). I have been complaining the same to the service centre but untill now they haven't took it seriously and haven't solve the problem yet. Whenever i ask them to solve the problem the service engineer there does some tuning like thing and tells it has been done.

The riding is also not smooth now. At the speed of more than 50 kmph the ride becomes really rough.

I would like you to please look into this matter and help me out of this problem.

Thanking You!

Yours Faithfully,

Mr.Parth Sanghvi

i too own a yamaha Fz bought in may 2009. from PANACHE motors, indiranagar, bangalore.
from the day one i have not got mileage more than 30km/l.
i'm a student and this is proving to be heavy to my pockets.
i have complained at the dealers but they have not solved my problem yet!

i have not got milege NOT more than 30km/l

plz put case regarding the same in the comsume court if it say something different in the user manual and the brocher that u got while taking the bike, i believe this either make the company replace the bike or they would atleast chaange the carb and give u so that the mileage will improve and also the performance...

regards
Arun

Yamaha — Sounding Chain Shaft & Electric Start

I have got a same kinda issue. I am not sure whether its usual or unusual, however since my last service (4th Service) from SETCO, Though the bike is performing good, there is a sound coming from the chain shaft like 'tak tak tak' if I take out the bike from its still position for ride (after couple of hours of not using it) and the sound goes away during riding and also I had told them at that time of servicing that the Electric Start is giving me problem ( as recommended by Yahama the bike must get started within 5 attempts and do not keep the button pushed for more than 5 seconds or else visit your Yahama Dealer).

I have purchased this bike from SETCO itself and I never had any complaints regarding servicing in past. My last service was between 25th - 30th March 2010.

Please look into the matter and suggest. I will appreciate if you could directly contact me with any solution.

Thanks

I bought my FZ16 in dec. 16 2008, I live in aurangabad city. There are many problems in my bike which aren't solved even after six services. The engineer which pays visit every month is not able to recognise the actual problem and afterwords tries to convince me that there is no such problem. I have found many other FZ16 owners who have identical problems which I have. Inspite of spending a lot of money on the bike, I am not satisfied with the perfomance of the bike.

Dude,

For all these kind of issues we have one called Consumer Protection cell. take these issues to them and let Yamaha India company also know whats happening with there proud product...hmm

YAMAHA SZ R ENGINE WARRANTY REFUSED BY COMPANY

MY YAMAHA SZR IS ONLY 13 MONTH OLD AND I GOT SOME MAJOR ENGINE PROBLEM AND SERVICE ENGINEER REFUSE TO SOLVE MY PROBLEM AT ANDHERI MIDC SERVICE STATION MUMBAI. HOW TO GET LEGAL ACTION PLEASE HELP

I bought my bike in april this year.. Unfortunately i had an accident and the bike was scartched and fairing was broken.. as usual i gave the bike for repairs which took them almost a week to repair, which could have been done in an hour seriously.. when i came back i realised that there was a dent on my bike and it had been scratched from the opposite side.. This rwaly pissed me alot so i went back the other day to complain.. but the guys flatly refused to accept it was their fault and told me maybe some kids near service station did it.. they wrote my complaint in a register which i think they threw away after i left.. My question is, isnt it the dealers responsibility to take care of the bike if it is under theis maintainance workshop??Plus why arent there any registers given by Yamaha to its dealers.. This only shows that they do not bother about the bike once sold..

You may go to yamaha website and contact them thru their email.., make a written complaint and see if it works.. Do mention the dealer's name and date of invoice..

Hello jameel
dent was due to rash driving by yamaha engineers or boys. when the bike comes for repair they try to have a go at it. and unfortunately they hit your bike with some vehicle or some stationary object. in todays world no one wants to take responsibility for their deeds. i had rx 135 when i brought it for service its indicator was ok but when i came to take it indicator was broken no one took responsibility.

you don't tell why and only blame. I have a gladiator and it doesn't have those kind of things.

Dear Sir,

I have requested the Service Manager from Pandav Nagar to give you a call next week. We will aim to get the issues resolved immediately. Please email us on [protected]@setco.biz if the problem is not addressed next week.

Apologises for the problem it might have caused you.

Regards

sir

thanxs for your reply i m unable to understand why yamaha do not have policy to check the working at service center. we as customer purchase the bike being a yamaha product. but is not rectified and customer getting harsh due to bad service at service center. they are not properly trained to solve the problem. doing just hit and trial resulting into wastage of time. who will pay for my time that i wasted at yamaha service center other than regular service.

in my case there is problem either in voltage generation(alternator) level or in (rectification & regulator). because of that proper charging voltage is not coming to battery. why u do not understand?

but wat you are doing i do not understand. since i reported problem on second service(self not working).(Himgiri Yamaha)

now on dt 30.08.2009 i visited your service center (setco yamaha). they simple change the R&R Unit of old bike without knowing where is problem? mean at alternator or regulator, rectifier.

some one has remove my complaint from this site.
will this solve the problem?

after second service i have visited 2 times service center of yamaha. but they are not capable to solve the problem.
this is ideal case to bring yamaha to court.
wat u want u decide ?

yamaha motor india (p) ltd.
Himgiri Yamaha
Setco Yamaha

please reply me through mail do not make any call.

I bought my yamaha gladiator form karaikudi showroom on 2007 and brought it chennai as a new bike it has many problems but I didnt had time to contact these company authority. After buying a bike everyone cannot run like this, and contact the company authority. even if anyone contacts most of them provides the worst response. It is the same problem with my yamaha gladiator too. The self start failed very soon and all the things related to battery like horon lights has problem. I found that the battery is leaking its acids. It is failing at all important times. I came across many bikes, This is the worsrt bike I ve seen in my whole life. I am in doubt wether yamaha motors is an international recognised company. From the experience I earned by using this bike I would recommend others" not to prefer yamaha motors". This is because I am tired and very much disappointed by this motorbike.

sir,
I bought yamaha gladiator ss from GEE JAY yamaha showroom on 2011 in pattukottai, tanjore(dt), tamil nadu.After one month i caught severe accident for back break pedal cut( failed).i have many problems in this bike(front light, battery, self start.In my life this is a worst bike..iam complaint to my dealer but he did not reply.I want to mention one thing in gladiator ss back break shoo it get loosed & scratch the back wheel drum, but my dealer say it is a MANUFACTURING DEFAULT & then he say will change ur bike back wheel drum...since he didnt change anything..

plz i want reply from u

Yamaha is mainly named for engine. If you use Yamaha bike for long riding(continues 1000 km riding) the engine will not get any problem. I used yamaha Gladiator for more than 5 years and ridden for 65000 km and till now no problem with engine. I have seen other bikes which are used for long riding Cylinder has corrupted due to long ride.
So, engine performance wise Yamaha is good. But other problem like baterry charging, inverter, light and self start failure is common in Yamaha gladiator. i am not sure about other bikes.

Yamaha corporation should take necessary action for this...

I have experienced so many faults with my bike after service, i bought the bike in trichy, tamil nadu in 2009 and brought it to delhi last year. I used to service the bike at Green Automobiles, Faridabad. these people are not checking the vehicle after servicing. its not a single time. first incident they forgot one of the lock nuts of the back seat foot rest, resulting in a damage to my leg( just minor). Next time when i was giving the bike for servicing i told them about that problem, they said they 'll take care, but this time those stupid fellows i dont know whats the problem was, they forgot to tighten the front bike, i found it not working in the middle of my ride in the NH after taking the bike out from service. fortunately iwas not above 60 km/hr on that time, otherwise i would've gone. I suggest yamaha india to evaluate their dealer quality.

Sir, i have yamaha ss125 from last 4years the battery issue not solve. I was changed wiring harness, rectifier, battery for 2 time also same problem i am facing pls give mi suggestions. Pls

Either ur Choke cable is jammed or choke is pressed. Check this..
Either ur air filter is fully choked. check it n clean it.
Either ur Valve clearance is very less, check n adjust.
Or in worst case some mechanical problem occurred(2% chances in YAMAHA'S).
So do not make any conclusion without any verification...
If one of any either is the case thats only due to ur fault - "Without have proper knowledge why u r driving BIKES"

It can be in ur case but YAMAHA FZ has a maximum speed of 121 km/hr.
Its tested by me n my friends. And IT IS THE LORD OF ROADS...

Hi, Your service dept in Bangalore is really horrible. Please do raise the Standards of the authorized Yamaha service station before people start looking down at it.

I have purchased a FZS from yamaha, motors(factory shop) in Baguihati Kolkata.The service dept.is just horrible, they are just bunch all of even more than that.once u enter the service dept they are ready to cut of your head, they are always busy in changing spares because they are getting huge commission they never try to solve your problem.my request is please move that smiley when you are making your advertisements.
