Car & Bike Want to sell my 1 month old FZ-S

[vheezay]

Hi ,

I want to sell off my 1 month old Yamaha FZ-S. Main reasons beign very low mileage ( getting around 25 kmpl ).. Have completed around 800kms and did 2 free services.....Yamaha Services costs a Bomb !!

Want to know at what price can i sell this thing off ???? i expect a price of around 70-75k to the table....as i had bought it for 80k.

 

[ultimabasher]

You expecting too much bro. On the other hand, I dont know if you intend to mention the low average to the buyer.

 

[vheezay]

75k is too much ????? i mean it is only 1 month old...

Yup u r right .. i need to remove the mileage figure

 

[chiragsthakur]

You were warned of the mileage before taking a leap for Yamaha FZ....

A person will prefer buying a new one instead... 70K is what I feel will allow a customer to think at least of getting it. I am sure at 75K any buyer would prefer getting a new one from showroom itself.

First either you are faking our you don't know the exact date of purchase.

You cannot have 2 service in 1 month. Secondly have some patience FZ-S mileage will improve with time given you handle and drive properly.

Also FZ -S retails for 70k onroad here, how come you can sell it for 75k, a price of around 60-65k should suffice. For 75 one can get a brand new fazer.

P.s : MY Fazer gives an average of around 50+ and I have used it for around ~9-10months 4k+ kms.

whoa...50+. For the first time I'm listening 50+.

I am riding FZ16 since last 3 years (I booked before release) and max I got 38/40kmpl on highway 35kmpl in city.

I gave my bike (exchanged actually) with my roommate for 2 weeks just to check if it was some 'rider' issue. but it was same.

My another friend got FZ16 and he used to get 43/45kmpl oh Shell oil (that's Rs2/3 costly).

@OP - 25kmpl is really very low you re getting.

 

[vheezay]

in thane it retails for 80700.. 2 services i mean... one is the first service.. second one was for replacement of the front brake....i had a minor accident ..
The first time when i rode the FZ-S it gave me a mileage of 35kmpl in the city which is the norm but after the service it gives only 25kmpl.... i dunno what those yamaha service wallas had done to it.....Also braking is quite hard after the replacement......
10k reduction for a 1 mnth old bike is very steep.... i can sell it for 73k max....

Yamaha FZ/Fazer series give low mileage and you were warned about this in your bike advise thread, and if you remember i was the only one who mentioned about very high service costs and i know all these coz we have a fazer at our place.

Still 25Kmpl is quite low, the fazer gives around 30-35kmpl(max) in city riding here, now it will be very hard to sell it at those prices, keep the pricing at 70k and accept the best offers and you may get 67-68k.

25 kmpl on normal riding is way too low. like mathrisk, i booked before release as well and got delivered on releasing date itself. Now it has completed 3yr+ and 18k Km. Mine gives 40~42 max on careful riding without revving and 35 kmpl on normal riding and 25 kmpl on harsh/rash riding(which i normally does ). Its normal among early services that the mileage gets too low, but it will get better.

Also as you mentioned, you had an accident. It will affect the selling price if there are any scratches/dents even minor as you are selling is like a almost new bike. If your height is 6" or higher, then you can make it as an excuse for selling as FZ isnt great on riding for tall riders.

You guys should really get your bike to some good mechanic and show it to him to correct the mileage. My R15 is 1 years old and it gives me 40kmpl even after all the 10k rpm revving :|

you said you got the brakes serviced/replaced...just check whether the pads are brushing against the disc even when the brake is not pressed. this sometimes happens with new pads or if the disc alignment is wrong(even if the disc is slightly bent). Raise the front wheel of the bike and rotate it to see whether it is rolling freely, in any of the above scenarios the bike engine would have to work more against its own brakes and hence would point to the low milegae you are getting. this has happened with my pulsar too with new pads but then the pads wear out in a few kms and things get back to normal.

@Ultima, That is because of the Fuel Injection ?

Even i get an average of 35kmpl with some really bad driving within the city

So new FZ costs 80k now ? I remember buying my limited edtion for about 76k two years back. Guess they added a kick start and increased the cost

Coming to the topic, for 75k I'd rather buy a new one than,

The Taxes have jacked the pricing..

HH Hunk bought for 62.5k in 2008, now costs 74-75k ... im getting 40k for it already

economy is 35-40kmpl as I have spirited riding habits while without a pillion.

Will surely check that... I dont know much about bikes as this is my first bike and it turned out to be a kaput !!!

it is not like a ram..which will provide you exact performance... heck even ram requires proper settings.

get you bike tuned properly and try to ride in the powerband to get maximum efficiency.

btw, how are you calculating efficiency so far?

 

[rad0]

@vheezay : :no:

Go to the service center. Ask them to tune your bike for optimum mileage.

35kmpl is what you should/were expecting from FZ. Isn't it ?

This would be utter non-sense if you sell of the bike just bcoz service cost is high.

 

[gREen]

Guys there's 2% tax increase in June.

I got my fazer with a price of 84800rs.

Getting an mileage of around 38 to 43 kmpl

For @op, sell it for less than 70k.

Cause a minor accident, low mileage and people always prefer to get new bike and maintain properly.

And a new fz s cost 78k.

They have digitized the speedo/odo panel. May be that could be one of the reason of increasing the price.

Wouldn't say so because Unicorn used to cost on similar lines and current pricing of unicorn stays 74k (not sure if that includes ON pricing)

I do not see why a digital speed shall relate to 10k difference in price.

@Vheezay : As people have suggested, Check the bike properly before selling it... use it for one or two months more, coz anyways either 1 months used or 3 months used, the resale value would not change much.
