Yamaha fz s fi version 3 Pros and Cons
- Things We Like
- Things We Don't Like
- Muscular design and chunky tank extensions give the FZ a big bike appeal
- Despite looking big, the FZ is very lightweight and handles really well
- Engine is very fuel efficient and gives good mileage for a bike in the 150cc segment
- Switchgear quality feels quite basic and not what you’d expect at this price point
- Misses out on features like turn-by-turn navigation
- Headlight doesn’t have the desired output and doesn’t do a good job of illuminating the road ahead
Yamaha FZS-FI V3 Expert Review
Overview
Among the most premium and reliable models in the entry-level 150cc performance bikes category, the Yamaha FZS-FI V3 remains a fan favourite.
This bike from Yamaha is known for its muscular styling, refined and reliable engine, good ride quality, and effortless handling. This is the third-generation model in the 150cc Yamaha FZ series that debuted in 2008 and became an overnight success in India.
Although Yamaha has also launched the FZS-FI V4 in India, they continue to sell this previous generation V3 as it is a bit more affordable than the V4.
Design
The Yamaha FZS-FI V3 has a muscular design with a minimalist bikini fairing, having a split LED headlight with integrated daytime running LEDs. There are minimal body decals on the fuel tank and the front fender.
The fuel tank has a chiselled look with thoughtfully designed knee recesses that are accommodating for taller riders as well. At the rear, the FZS-FI V3 has a small tail lamp positioned at the top of the rear fender. The overall build quality and fit-and-finish levels are quite good and are on par with, if not better than, other bikes in the segment.
It is available in 3 colour options: Matte Red, Matte Grey, and Dark Knight (Black).
Engine, Mileage & Performance
The Yamaha FZS-FI V3 is powered by a 149cc single-cylinder air-cooled engine, which prioritizes mileage over outright power. The engine produces 12.4PS of power at 7250 rpm and maximum torque of 13.3Nm @ 5500 rpm.
Compared to other 150-160cc commuters, these performance figures might not be best-in-class. However, the power and torque outputs of the Yamaha FZS-FI V3 are decent enough for riding in stop-and-go traffic. The bike doesn't provide instantaneous acceleration but offers enough torque in the mid-range to easily overtake traffic on the road. Combined with short gear ratios, the bike excels in city driving conditions.
Our tests showed an impressive fuel economy of 49.1 kmpl in city conditions and 55.42 kmpl on highways.
Handling & Ride Quality
The Yamaha FZS-FI V3 feels agile to ride, quickly changing directions while maintaining stability while riding around corners. The rugged frame and soft-tuned suspension with a telescopic fork at the front and preload-adjustable mono-shock at the rear effectively absorb bumps and potholes.
Furthermore, the 282mm front disc brake and 220mm rear disc brake deliver a reassuring bite, complementing the bike's overall handling capabilities.
Comfort
The Yamaha FZS-FI V3 features a mostly upright riding posture but with easy-to-reach handlebar and slightly rear-set footpegs. The upright riding posture minimises strain on the back, shoulders, and wrists, ensuring comfort during long rides. This handlebar and seat design help with easy manoeuvring and allows even shorter riders to get their feet on the ground comfortably.
The well-cushioned seat, with a seat height of 790mm, provides ample support for both the rider and pillion. A well-padded seat and a manageable overall weight of 135kg make it comfortable for riders to easily manoeuvre the bike when it is at a standstill.
Features
Yamaha has equipped the FZS-FI V3 with an LED headlight that provides decent illumination on dark roads. It also features a fully digital LCD instrument console that shows speed, rpm, fuel level, and other standard details. Though the instrument console offers Bluetooth connectivity through the Yamaha Motorcycle Connect app for call and message alerts, it lacks turn-by-turn navigation.
Riders can customise their FZ-S FI V3 with accessories such as muffler covers, tank pads, skid plates, and rear footrests. The bike also includes usual convenient features such as a pass switch and an engine kill switch.
Should you buy
The FZ series began as a sporty 160cc bike with the FZ16 in India. If you are looking for the same sportiness in the FZ-S FI V3 due to its lineage, you might feel disappointed. The bike does not perform at levels that the previous models did. It is now more of a practical commuter with some sporty elements and muscular visual appeal.
However, the engine characteristics, the upright riding position, and urban styling make it an excellent daily ride, especially for those looking for manageable power and good mileage in a 150cc motorcycle. But the FZS-FI V3's value-for-money factor has reduced as it is priced at Rs 1,21,700 (ex-showroom Delhi), and the FZS-FI V4 costs just Rs 7,500 more and offers an improved headlight and more features such as traction control.
