A loose engine head cover bolt could seize your engine on the move. Even though you might know your way around, we would still advise you to take your motorcycle to the Yamaha’s authorised service centres. 

On a side note, Yamaha has already launched the BS6-compliant FZ-FI and FZS-FI and is planning to two more BS6-compliant two-wheelers next month. According to our dealer sources, it could be the updated R15 V3.0 and the Fascino.
