mileage around 61k
issues.. i think not much
1- some engine oil kinda disappeared(?) a little everytime i change oil around 2-3k. read somewhere online it's common for my FZ version.
2- pickup not powerful. i think need to change fuel filter & air filter.
my bike 61k mileage. what u think need to do?
what the valve clearance check will do?

The FZ is basically a simple bike with cheap plentiful parts.

Bike only needs an overhaul if you are massively loosing oil or coolant or have loud knocking noises...or the engine doesn't run at all.

Beyond that, just regular maintenance will do. About the only other thing engine related is to do a valve clearance check.

As for loosing oil, sometimes it depends on the oil and the viscosity you use. Some brands resist burn off better than others..sometimes your engine just needs thicker oil, especially older ones with higher mileage.. I was loosing about 250 to 300ml every 5000km OCI, on motul 5100 10/40 but don't loose any on my Mizu 15/50 both full synthetic.

My Dominar just turned 65k after less than 3 years of use.
