I own 1. It was suppose to be a transition bike to a larger capacity while taking my L but it grew on me.

FZ is more than ok and parts availability is great. Just have to be careful, shopee you can find everything you need and there some famous shops and mechanics that still servicing it. Fuel consumption is very good. The down side is that this damn bike is highly modifiable and affordable too.

Once you stabilize it i.e. change those wear and tear parts it works fantastically. It is a very enjoyable bike. I get like 400+km on a full tank (12L) if you ride at a reasonable speed. Put in HDEO and it smooth all the way.

Just be prepare a few thousand for spare parts(you can change when it is needed) and possible overhaul (~RM2k) situations, you be fine.

Make sure you check oil levels. I do a 1k change of oil + filter so I do not have worry about it.

As some units makan minyak. Top overhaul (~RM600) if you want to avoid that.

FZ150i is inherently noise due to sometime loose clutch casing and at times the top head setup. I will recommend that you check and search FB for groups and find a decent mechanic that is near you before/after you get the bike for a check up prior to using it daily.

Personal sellers ranges from 2 to 5k depending on the year and condition.

No more new in the market. Last batch was 2018. I got a 2014 v2.

I am picky. Being a hobbying mechanic, short of a overhaul, i practically changed a lot of stuff which I was not happy about.

FZ engines are practically bullet proof. I did a top head change as it gotten pretty scratched up. Probably last owner never check engine oil. Engine keep shutting down on me when I go downslope or at traffic lights.

Like I mentioned, if you are not mechanically sound, please sent it to a mechanic to check through it,
Hint,
a. change oil filter + engine oil
b. change coolant + check water pump
c. change brake fluid. check the pads as well.
d. Remember your RPM and practise it.

The rest of wear and tear items like chain, sprockets etc, ride first feel and listen to "funny" sounds if any and act on it.
Like this you do not burn a hole in your pocket.

Just remember to change oil at regular intervals, watch for leaks and sayang it like your gf/wife/partner.. you be fine. tongue.gif

Nice to hear that. Which FZ150 model did you bought? Did you buy used or new?
Any issues you encountered so far?

As for the makan minyak issue, I heard it can be solved by changing the piston ring. But I'm not sure.
Woah. Nice info man. Seems like FZ150 is very reliable then.
Yup, currently in a tight budget, so have to forego ABS for now.
I think upgrading to a bigger bikes will be later down the road. Not in the immediate future.
