- Who said a small displacement motorcycle can't do long distance touring!
In this video, watch as I bring my little 2012 153cc Yamaha FZ16 from Singapore all the way to Genting Highlands mountain resort in Malaysia. This journey covers more than 420km one way, which correlates into a staggering 840++km two ways.
Also, do look out for the highest speed I managed to hit on this run somewhere in the video ;) - ยานยนต์และพาหนะ
Really awesome, ride. I visited Genting Highlands 11 years back and really joyfully watching it again with your video. I am from Sri Lanka and a Happy owner to the Similar Model since 2014. Cheers....
I’m glad you enjoyed it!
My 11 years old faithful Fz16 have made it to Tuas LP 1. That is the furthest I've rode. Kudos man!
hahahaha mine is in jb b point to refuel only
Well done bro!!!
Awesome... A p-plate here ..... Your video is giving me some real inspirations
Hariba Ozukum thanks!!
Welldone!nice video!
Power!!!
My bike..so proud
Can you show us how the top box was fixed and it's frame work
respect, pretty good riding skills i can see, not easy with the curving slopes, esp when fz16 lack of power. Do you have class 2A or 2?
Delin Hong thanks! I’m still on p-plate, just passed half a year ago.
@@theinterportal damn new rider dare to go genting respect 👍
How long for you to take to reach Genting Highland?
Very inspirational, considering that you did this with
Adriel Goh I memorised the major roads to take before setting off to avoid having to stop and check the map. On one occasion I had to ask a local biker for directions as downtown KL is a complicated maze haha. Other than that, the only thing I had to deal with was immense backache and butt pain from the uncomfortable seat on the FZ16.
My FZ has self start problem within 2 months of buying. And it doesn't even have a kick start.😡😡😡😡😡
I have to push to get it started.
Did you stop midway up genting to re-tune your carb? I'm planning for a trip there but not sure if I need to re-tune the carb.
Aloysius ng I didn’t re-tune the carb. You’ll probably just experience a bit of choking at high revs but nothing too extreme. It’s definitely rideable.
Perjalanan yang sangat seru dan indah, salam dari indonesia
does this vibrate alot on high speed?
do you recommend for new class 2b riders?
GankKi the vibration is acceptable. However, I would recommend getting a slightly newer bike as most FZ16v1s are getting really old now and might be a pain to maintain.
The newer FZ-Sv2 is a great buy and the fuel efficiency is much better compared to the FZ16.
hey man, great video! may i ask wheres a good place to take fz16s for servicing?
Any place is good. U can go to Auto machinery/Chong aik to buy parts and fix urself if u know how. They sell factory price. From there u can know how much shop actually "Chop" u
DKT1404 hey sorry for the late reply. I usually bring my FZ16 to Bikers Avenue at Bukit Batok for routine servicing and Erzat Lee at Kaki Bukit for more complicated works.
Did you go on a solo trip??
Hi I know it's an old video, but wanna ask if you're still using the bike? If so, how is it holding up now? I'm looking to buy one (used) and currently researching how reliable it is
hey dude, fz16 is one of the most reliable 2b bikes in singapore. easy to maintain, fuel efficient, all workshops can work on it.
Hi, just wan 2 ask where u get yr adjustable brake n clutch levers? I bought online twice, both cannot fit my fz16st🤨
Hey, I got them from some bike shop cos I damaged the original ones in an accident. But I think I kenna ketuk cos it was pretty pricey LOL.
Maybe u can try Lim Ah Boy if they carry anything like this.
Thanks bro
FZ16 maybe kinda lack of power compare fz150i. But me as a owner fz16 2012 reg ( indonesia ) .. it is kinda trigger my adrenaline tho..
But since 1st day i never let it stock when it got into my hands even used condition. Lots of change since then..
Parts and accessories been replaced and modified
1) Sprocket 15-48. ( you could use from R15 V1). At this moment top speed around 115-118km/h 😂😂😂 or you can use aftermarket one with lightweight part
2) Custom Caliper from used parts ( Caliper from Lc 135 (my)/jupetir mx( id ) complete set with arm..disc from wave 110 (my)/jupiter ( id )..master pump you can use from R15 or whatever you like but i recommended from r15 v1 or LC135 or Fz150i.. brake line from aftermarket. All this stuff i custom by myself from milling machine for adaptor and including a lil bit weld and drilling.
3) Carb..i use from NSR 250 ( PE 28 ) or similar like keihin 28 or pwk or whatever that is ( you need to warm your engine before to tune up). For setting just 1/4 anti clockwise or just imagine clock that set up between 9 or 10 o clock or in the middle between 9-10. Still use same throttle cable..intake and adaptor.
4) Clutch plate i use from kawasaki ss or you can use from R15 v1 or fz150i.
And I don't use air filter.. i don't know why but kinda hassle too since i need to cleaning up everything all internal and external parts every 1 - 2 month🤣🤣🤣
Everything still stock bottom end except i don't use a gasket engine block because i wanted to increase the compression. Of course you need also to use higher octane above 90 to avoid such knocking or pre ignition. Also use a bit colder spark plug than a factory set up
Fun fact..i don't use motorcycle lubricant oil from day one. I use from car lubricant from pertamina fastron 15w40 or Mobil 15w40 or motul 15w40. All above lubricants are use for turbocharger and that's why to maintain engine temperature aka to keep it cool your engine such a hot weather but please to change your oil and filter below 10.000km trip or once a month
If got chances..i wanna bore up to 200cc..oilcooler and slap turbocharger 😍😍
Car lubricants have friction modifiers, you may experience clutch slip
@@darrenfoo8269 fortunately is.. I didn't have any experience clutch slip since I use kawasaki 150s 2 stroke clutch plate. That my experiences over 2 years.
Hihi, Could you share the whole motorcycle process to cross custom for first timer? haha
Just keep left bro. Reach malaysia side also same keep left and usually the furtherst 1 or 2 counter for us Singaporeans/foreigner. If dont know anything ride slower and try follow any sg bikes
what is that device on hsndle bar, we dont have here in india
prasad valimbe That’s the automatic road toll collection device which is required on all vehicles in Singapore. It’s called an “In-Vehicle Unit” or IU. This device also allows for automatic deduction of parking charges and season parking passes at carpark gantries.
Did you already try 15-38 sprocket? How’s the result?
I’ve ran with 15-38 for quite awhile. It’s great for touring but not ideal for daily commuting as the 1st gear is geared way too low and the acceleration is miserable.
With 15-38 you can expect 90km/h to be around 5800rpm, and 110km/h at around 7300rpm. Really comfortable revs for cruising up on the North South Expressway, but mind you at 110km/h the bike doesn’t have much more to give. I’d reckon the top speed flat out with this gearing is 118km/h, whereas 14-38 would give you 124km/h because of the power band.
In this video, my bike was using 14-40, I think 14-38 would be the ideal gearing for comfortable revs on the expressway as well as decent acceleration.
Thankyou for that very informative reply! I think I’ll change mine to 14-38
Motor standard top speed berapa boleh pergi bossku tq
How was your experience with a 13 years old bike?
Definitely not trouble free. I've had to overhaul this bike, and yet it still makes some weird noises from its engine every now and then. Fuel efficiency is also pretty terrible now - i get like 26-28km/l. Other than that, I absolutely love my FZ, I love the cornering characteristics and the intake sound when i rev it past 8000rpm.
Man come to India and see how people use even 100cc bikes for long touring, even I have experience of 570 km continuous ride by a 100 cc
Is ur fz standard? What did u change? I saw u reached 137
Fadz Hil it’s completely stock engine wise. A good downslope, tailwind and very dangerously following that front vehicle enabled me to hit 139kmh on the speedometer.
How about ur sprocket? 40-14?
Fadz Hil in this video it was 14/40. I’ve now changed it to 15/38. Waiting for the borders to open so I can try it haha
The Interportal but so far for 15/38 does it stress ur pick up?
Its not that small cc bikes cant travel long distance but it is way more comfortable with a bigger cc bike
Yeah, even 100cc can be used for touring.
What does really matter is, are you ready to enjoy the long ride?
Check out my one day round trip to Ciletuh Geopark

this fz16 good bike because aircooled
Riztakashi Pista it’s not bad but I feel like its liquid cooled sibling, the FZ-Sv2 is a better bike. The FZ16 really suffers in hot weather.
@@theinterportal yes bro , use 15w50 engine oil no problem, it's similar to my previous yamaha tw200 custom because it cool by aircooled. if wtaercooled bike just use 10w40.
Open ad bell welcome greeting
But i've turned it off
