Why Yamaha FZ Version 3.0 Is A Great 150cc Choice

  • Mar 1, 2019
  • |   Comments
Before I begin, let me get obvious out of the way. Yamaha FZ 3.0 has low power and torque output figures than its competitors. With this and seemingly the only flaw about the bike, out of the way, let’s discuss why the Yamaha FZ 3.0 is a great 150cc motorcycle.

Yamaha FZ V3.0 begins by correcting most of the mistakes of its previous version the FZ 2.0. The third iteration of FZ makes a rear disc, a single channel ABS, and LED lights as standard. The bike builds upon the same 150cc motor by increasing the compression ratio and changing the ECU maps.

Thus, as a result, the new FZ 3.0 accelerates quicker, stops on a dime and has no issues traveling during the night time. Yamaha engineers knew that they have to keep the “bump-in-power” upgrade for the BS 6 variant, so they shifted the powerband towards the low and mid-range. As a result, the Yamaha FZ 3.0 has a peppier pickup than its predecessor.

Next big upgrade is in the braking department. The rear disc has been made standard along with a single channel ABS. This adhesion of optional parts into one standard package, keeps the position of Yamaha, as a quality motorcycle manufacturer, intact.

In the end, FZ 3.0 is about simplicity and function. It does both along with a pinch of peppiness. And while some manufacturers are still pumping out a decade old model in 2019, Yamaha’s third iteration of FZ series outshines most of them. Until now, the TVS Apache RTR 160 4v was dominating the 160cc market and with Yamaha FZ 3.0, the customers will have another great option at their disposal. Check out the Yamaha FZ 3.0 in a showroom near you and you will not be disappointed.

Yamaha YZF-R15 V 3.0 Vs KTM Duke 125- Comparo

Dec 3, 2018
The trend nowadays is of small displacement high powered bikes which can deliver mileage and performance. Such bikes usually have the chassis of a performance bike but lack a big engine. Two such bikes in India are Yamaha R15 V3 and the recently launched KTM Duke 125. Both are built on the same philosophy I mentioned above, so let’s compare them to figure out which one is the best.

How Different Is The Yamaha MT-03 From FZ-25

Oct 5, 2018
We all have heard about the MT-03 series from different places around the Internet. So far, most of us know two things about the bike. Number 1, it is a Naked motorcycle from Yamaha and Number 2, it is not available in India, with no plan to launch either. But exactly how different is the MT-03 from the FZ-25 which we get in India. Both bikes just have a 72 cc (249 for FZ-25 & 321 for MT-03) difference, are of the same type, and made by the same manufacturer. All of this must point to a huge number of similarities, right? well, no. Allow me to explain.

Yamaha’s Cheap Fix for YZF R15 V3.0 is an insult to the injury

Sep 8, 2018
A piece of PVS Pipe is what seems to be the remedy proposed by the company to the known problem. The side panels of the fuel tank started to come loose whenever a little force was applied to them. Although it spawned a number of memes and a lot of articles, they all seem to have been in vain because Yamaha Motors India’s answer to the loose tank problem is a "PVC Pipe". Let me explain.
