It’s reliable, but not as bulletproof as the older FZ models. There has been a little bit of electrical niggles.

The FZS feels much more solidly built than my friend's Apache. Less rattles and squeaks over time.

Good reliability, except that you can take a risk on getting support from Yamaha when you need. It has an impact on the ownership experience.

Some plastic parts feel a bit cheap, but it’s reliable. Long term durability of the body panels is something I worry about.

The new features such as Bluetooth connectivity have opened the doors to more possibilities of failures. For maximum reliability, stick to the standard FZ.
How good is the FZS Deluxe’s fuel efficiency as claimed by Yamaha?
15 January 2025 08:37
Not even close! I’ll get about 15-20% less than what Yamaha advertises. Pretty disappointing.

It's actually spot on for me. City riding sees me getting close to 45-50 kmpl consistently. Just need to ride sensibly.

But the mileage is decent, nothing special. The old Honda CB Unicorn was more efficient.

On the highway I find it very fuel efficient, but in the city the mileage suffers. But still better than most of the 160cc bikes.

It's all about how you ride. With a gentle hand on the throttle and higher gears, I’ve been able to squeeze out 55 kmpl.

It's got good fuel efficiency but I do feel like it's dropped a bit after the first year. Might need a tune-up.

It turns out to be quite efficient, actually. The fuel cost difference comes from a Pulsar.

Of course, the claimed figures are achievable, if you really try. For normal, stress free riding you should expect about 10% less.

It's efficient and I just wish they had put a bigger fuel tank in it. Long rides are annoying with all the refills.
How does the pillion comfort on the FZS Deluxe stand up against the competition in its class?

It's decent, but not great. On long rides my girlfriend complains that the seat is too hard.

I can tell you I like it far better than the old FZ. The difference is the wider seat and grab rails better positioned.

For short trips it’s okay, but if you’re doing more than 30 minutes your pillion will start squirming. Passengers will find the Pulsar N160 more comfortable.

In fact, the pillion seat is one of the reasons I chose the FZS. It is much more comfortable than our old Apache, my wife likes it.
