The FZ-10’s reliability compared to the Euro competitors BMW S1000R and Aprilia Tuono?
Many motorcycle buyers, especially when comparing Japanese bikes to their European counterparts, like to know that their new bike is reliable. When it comes to the Yamaha FZ 10, the Japanese engineering usually creates some debate when put up against the European naked bikes that are the likes of the BMW S1000R and Aprilia Tuono. Riders talk about reliability in all its forms, from engine durability, through electrical systems, maintenance costs, and overall build quality. Others say that because the FZ-10 is a simpler design, and because Yamaha has a good reliability track record, the European brands have really improved in this area. It often includes talk of personal experiences, dealer support, and the long term ownership costs of such high performance machines.
The FZ-10 is way more reliable than no contest. Pure Japanese engineering. Mine is at 50,000 miles and not a single issue with it besides regular maintenance.
They're all pretty close these days, I'd say. BMW and Aprilia have really closed the gap in terms of reliability. The real difference is that the Yamaha is usually cheaper to service.
The Tuono is worth the extra headache, but man, the FZ 10 is probably more reliable. It’s something special that V4 engine.
The bike and the dealer support are not just mere words. But there’s way more Yamaha dealers around and if something does go wrong it makes a big difference.
I have had an S1000R and an FZ-10. Small issues were more expensive to fix on the BMW, but it actually gave me fewer problems. It's a trade-off.
The truth is that all modern bikes are very reliable if you are looking after them. We’re splitting hairs, but the FZ 10 might have a slight edge.
The FZ-10 is what it is, and that's its strength. Fewer things to go wrong in the long run, fewer fancy electronics. I’ll take that peace of mind any day.
Engine reliability is my suspicion the FZ 10 wins but some of the electrical bits can be a bit flakey. Italian electrics still better than dealing with though!
