For a long time Yamaha has been known for making reliable motorcycles and many buyers buy the brand for this very reason. As a relatively new model, the FZS Deluxe has generated plenty of discussion around whether it continues the legacy of reliability. People who own and people who might buy are sharing their experiences and concerns about long term reliability, how often things go wrong, and how well it's built. There are some who praise the bike for trouble free ownership, but others call out specific problems they have experienced. The debate then often turns to comparing the new FZ with previous FZ models and competitor bikes, or the quality of after sales service and availability of spare parts.
