Yamaha FZ-S FI Hybrid: This crankcase that you are seeing here, this blue-colored thing is visible in it. The meaning of showing this is that its starter motor is here. If you see here, there is no starter motor, which is inside normal bikes, which is called self-motor.
Its self-motor starter motor is in-built inside the crank itself. It is integrated. So one plus point in it is that it is connected with the crank itself. It takes a little power from its auxiliary battery initially.
In starting, when you put the first gear, release the clutch a little, then that motor works and starts rotating the crank. Then the engine starts working on its own or normal petrol. It has a system to show that I start its ignition, and if I do this self, then see, there will be no sound of self.
See how the bike started?
It also works as an integrated self and the company can also call it hybrid, because they have tweaked it, and that tweak is that current from its actual battery will go to this motor, which will rotate the crank during starting and will increase your fuel efficiency.
That is why the company says that this FGS bike will give a mileage of 60 kilometers, and in our case, it has given almost 55 kilometers. That is why this bike gets the first thumbs up.
What did I like the best?
Its DRLs, which look good in the evening, very good at night. LED headlamps have come in it. The fender is the same as the old FG, but if you look at the color of the tires, then it is creating a lot of contrast.
And this suspension, the thick suspension of Yamaha used to work very well. The front suspension, the front tire is of 18/80-17.CA tires are fitted in it. Let’s look a little above it. The tank side looks very thick, rather thick.
It looks like a sturdy motorcycle. It doesn’t look like a bike of this category, because it is also in the DNA of FG. If you see the scene above, it is quite bulky. This thing here has cutouts on this side. This is Yamaha’s branding.
This portion is matte black. The petrol lead has come here. It looks quite good. And if I open the petrol lead, it opens in this way. The same scenario is same as that of FG, same to same. And it has integrated front indicators.
People’s front indicators used to get broken again and again, and they used to get upset. Now the company has integrated them inside it. See, what I liked about this is that its controls are not the controls of a normal bike, because here your TFT display has come nice and beautiful.
Then here is the indicated self button. It goes to the ignition like this. If you do it like this, the bike will start. Then there is also auto on and off. You can drive it by turning it on and off. If you stop at a red light, the bike will turn off.
It will switch to hybrid system. Then either turn it off or turn it on. I’m going to show you how to drive it now. These controls, there are a lot of controls, friend. They’re seen in very expensive bikes.
I will tell you all the controls when I will be driving it. But there is also a hazard feature in it. This is the hazard button. You can turn the hazard off or on here. And the one in front is your high and low beam light.
The turn indicator is like this. And this bike comes with a single horn. If you see the bike from the side profile, it will look very bulky. Those who remember the first FG, some scenes have been taken from that, like the engine casing, et cetera.
Seat and Build Quality
These are the portions. Then it changes from here. And if I talk about its seat, then this is a family bike seat. A child can also sit on it. The wife can also sit on it. Even if you have to sit with both legs on either side, three people can also sit inside the internal area.
And if you travel alone or there are two thin people, then this is a very comfortable seat and it does not mean that it is stiff. I feel it is on the soft side. If you see it from the back also, then the gab rails, et cetera, are connected gab rails this time, and because of this, the look of the back is also getting in.
No doubt, if it was cut from here, then also it would have been fine. By the way, after giving this portion, it has got a bit bulky look. This is the tail lamp of an expensive bike. Some modifiers will use this tail lamp in making their sports bikes.
But this is very crisp. I will show you by breaking it. So this is how it goes on and off. And if we switch on the rear turn indicator, you will find it like this. It is flexible. Then here comes the front number plate light and two reflectors.
If you look at this side, the tire hugger is mounted like this, and it is mounted from this side as well. It is mounted from this side as well. And inside it, there are metal rods. So this is not just a plastic part. This is a very strong thing.
And in this category of bikes, you get a rear tire of 146, which is much wider than a bike of this level, around 10 to 10 millimeters. The second thing is that if you look at it from the rear when the tire is mounted, then this rear portion looks quite heavy and bulky.
It does not look so behind a thin bike. And its color contrast is like these rims. This portion has been used wherever these elements are. It looks very much like a unique motorcycle. It becomes very unique because of the sticker and paint. But you can show the hybrid bike here.
What is written on the tank?
Blue core hybrid. So this color cannot change. You can see that color here. So this blue core is Yamaha’s technology, so it will remain blue in color, no matter what can van color the company puts on top.
Now, this is the right side of this bike. Here, the FGS logo is on both sides. These things look very good. There is also this portion below, which looks very good. Look, it is all made of fiber.
So I’m not saying much that there is aerodynamics in it or that it will protect the engine. This is just for looks, so that the bike looks good, like the earlier FG. All these things look very beautiful. The engine is the same as that of FG.
Your foot packs, et cetera, are of very good quality. The silencer is also almost the same as it was. Now let’s listen to how it sounds. It starts and I give it throttle. So guys, it has almost the same sound as FG.
But this bike has been made for that category of people who want to save money. This is a money-saving thing. I will take it for a ride, then we will talk. This is the rider’s point of view. This is how this bike will look like.Only the key should change a little.
It is the same for years. See such a wide seat, such a wide tank? I put the key on it. So the TFT screen, Yamaha-colored screen, you will see it here like this. Now, first of all, let’s talk about its menu.
So look, this button on the top will show the first trip instant fuel mileage. I will show that too now. Average will come, then this average speed will come. Trip time will come. Odo reading is here. Trip 1, trip 2.
Then this button at the bottom will run this portion. Trip 1, trip 2, trip 3, trip F, instant fuel. So if you look inside both, almost the same thing is there in both, but here you can see two events simultaneously.
This is a good thing. It is not that you have to see only one event at a time. Very good. And this is the switch. This is the home button. This is the back button. And this is the menu.
Digital Features
Let’s go to the menu here. So when you connect your phone to it, you will see the weather here. Notifications will also come. You can also do navigation from this bike. You can forward the music next, or pause it.
When I go inside the settings, look here, you can turn the traction control on or off. This is a very good thing. Do you want a shift indicator? What kind do you want? You have to turn on the shift indicator.
What rub rpm do you want? There are sports bike-like settings inside it. Then you can also select the theme. So our first theme was like this. I will show you. It was like this. This is our first theme.
Now, if I go inside the menu again, go inside the settings from here and select the theme. So this is our second theme. This is also correct. This also looks good. Let’s start it once and see. Rpm will run like this.
It also looks beautiful, no doubt. But if I change its theme again and keep the default theme, this one is ultimate. It is like a sports bike. And how does rpm run inside it? Like this. Wow. So now, this is about its menu.
How does the bike run?
Let’s see. So I have kept auto on off right now. Now, from here, I try to ride it a little. See, this is not a sports bike. First of all, we have to keep this thing in mind.
This is for a family person who has to earn money, save money. There are motorcycles for such people, and they are very good. The quality of the side-view mirrors is good according to this segment.
There’s no problem in it. The throttle wire goes from the top, so it looks a little more advanced. Now, I am also in the internal path here. But if I am maneuvering it like this… So there is confidence in its tires.
But yes, how are the brakes? That too will be known only after going outside. So, let’s take it from here. I am in second gear outside, so I can see the gear indicator here.
This thing is very good, that the gear indicator is right in front of me, so there is no confusion. For the new riders, look, I have driven the bike in second gear. It is not going to drive like that, but still I am driving it.
Mileage And gear
Let’s drive a little faster in third gear. But if you will drive this bike, it will still give you a lot of mileage. This is not such a bike that if you drive it, its mileage will be low because its top speed is not that high.
Now, I will pull it from here to there in second gear. When this gear is over, we will put third gear. Gear over. Third is a light one. Now, imagine that I have reached 71 in this time, and I can go to 105 with this bike, which means I can ride it at a decent speed.
And like if I pull this 3440 in first gear, then this engine can go up to 105 or even 1010. Do not even try to drive it more than that, because then the purpose for which you have bought this bike, for mileage, that purpose will not be solved.
This is such a light bike whose weight is only around 136 kilograms, and it does not feel very heavy either. The second thing is that these are mileage-giving motorcycles. These are not the motorcycles that we ride at high speed.
But still, if you feel like it, you can touch the second gear once. And this is the third gear. See? This engine is the one that will give you refinement. There is a lot of refinement in this bike.
What I mean by refinement is that there is no vibration. There is no rattling inside it. There is nothing that will bother you, or it is not that you are not getting instant torque in it. Its power output is decent. But if I am giving throttle, then the bike is pulling.
Let me talk about the suspension. Its suspension is very soft. It has a softer suspension. I enjoyed it a lot. And the comfort of the seat is very good. The suspension is soft. The handbrake, its front brake is also powerful and instant.
But its rear brake, which is the foot brak. Now look, if I turn from here, then I will apply this brake, then it feels a little loose, because this bike is brand new. It has been driven for only 519 kms, 18 kms.
And this also means that we have driven 60 to 65 kms out of this. This is a completely factory bike. So because of this, its rear braking feels a little weak. But if we look at the overall motorcycle, if it is a bike of this category that we have to get mileage, so power has no role in it. So in that scenario, it can drop you to the office.
It can cover all such small speed breakers for hours. And in speed also, look, there is a speed breaker in speed also. It did not throw me up. But now the question arises that, friend, I will tell you what numbers these things are giving.
Engine details of Yamaha FZ-S FI Hybrid
Look, friend, this small engine is a 149 CC engine and it gives a power of 12.2 baht hp. When do I start it? You see this line of seven to seven? This is 7000rpm. When you twist the throttle completely, this bike will reach 7000 revolutions per minute.It will generate power till here.
Basically, it is generating this much power at 7,250 revolutions per minute and the power to run is called torque. So this bike has generated 13.3 Newton meters of torque, which is a decent power.
This bike is giving this much power after going above 5,000 revolutions per minute, so there is nothing wrong in it. This bike runs decently. If you are fond of riding a light bike, then this is more than enough for you.
So my test ride is complete and I have taken its test ride in such a way that it can be known which genre and which target audience’s product it is. It is not that it should be cornered or driven at high speed.
This is a mileage-giving bike. For those who like a mileage motorcycle with style, this is perfect. Technology-wise, LED is available. Headlamp, tail lamp, you get good things inside the TFT instrument cluster.
The second thing is that this dual tone color is very good. My third point is that it is equipped with dual abs, so there is abs at the rear as well as in the front. Another good thing is that the bike feels light in it.
It does not feel like you are driving something bulky or there is some other problem. There is no rattling sound in the Yamaha engine, so I have also kept FGS so there is no rattling sound or any knocking sound in the Yamaha engine, even for a long term.

Yamaha FZ-S FI Hybrid pricing details
It runs very smoothly. It is a low maintenance motorcycle. Its service costs 15 rupees, 1,600 rupees, 2,000 rupees. If it is giving mileage of 55, 56, or even more, or a little less than that, around 50 to 52, so its mileage is very good.
You can cover 100 KMS by putting two liters of petrol. In that case, it is good. If you go to office every day and travel in traffic, or you want to shift from a scooter to a bike, you are going to shift from an electric cycle to a bike while going to office, this type of motorcycle is for you.
It is not for those who want a performance motorcycle under 150 CC. This is a mileage motorcycle, not a performance motorcycle. The King Indian store score that the motorcycle gets is according to the overall package, so the score of this motorcycle is eight and a half outta 10.
It has eight outta 10. It has one and a half marks because I wanted that after 150 CC, it should have a little more initial torque and its top end speed should be a little more. It should be a little peppy.
If I give the throttle, then it may run a bit, but it runs comfortably because it has to give mileage, so it is fine in that category. But if it runs like this, as soon as I give the throttle, it starts running at full speed, then it would not even be able to give mileage. Keep this in mind.
So where we get something good, then we have to sacrifice something, and where we sacrifice something, then we get something else. To see more such amazing videos, like, subscribe, and share us.
