I don't know about your zeal erik but this japonese site says something about 燃費・定地走行テスト値(km/L) 51.0(@50Km/h)
My japonese is a bit rusty thew...

I would be very surprised if that 51km/L was accurate. Both my Zeal and Hitcher's old Zeal get around 15-16km/L, and possibly fish's one too iirc.Originally Posted by ovidiudraganescu
The best fuel economy that I've heard of has been around 30km/L from an fxr150 and gs500e.
That Zeal looks pretty tidy to me. Not a colour we get in these parts. Don't know much about the chassis number but 3YX is Yamaha's model descriptor for a Zeal. That screen will make a big difference to your riding pleasure. I had one exactly the same on mine. Check out www.micapeak.com. There maybe some words of wisdom there.

I figured out the serial No. The bike seems to be from 1991. Here's where I got the idea from...

I suppose the 51km/l would be at a constant 50km/h and in ideal conditions (weather, load etc) but still it's a bit far-fetched, I have to admit.
Hey people,
I just acquired a yamaha FZX250 zeal. A great little bike, corners well and I get 23-25km/L fuel. I think that's pretty considering it is great for shooting off from the traffic lights. I notice I get better economy (>25km/L) if I change through the gears faster to 5th/6th and use them for traveling around the city as you'd expect.
I've also owned a cbr250 and personally feel the zeal is the winner for touring around on and general city travel. Maybe not as fast at the top end, but feel it is equally racy around the city. It still thrashes the teeny boppers in their hotted up commadore/falcons/hatch-backs at the traffic lights. A fun bike, and definitely not slow. Also handles a pillion really well - can still obtain a cruising speed of 110-120 on the freeway no problems.
Lol i just bought a zeal, its has plenty of torque for a 250. granted it wont power wheely (then again i doubt many can) but i find it does keep up with the bigger bikes. Today i raced a GS500 at the traffic lights (it was a m8), and i was actually ahead of him up till about 70k's. but even after that i was able to keep up.
Guys ! Anyone! Help a poor maiden in distress!
I have a Zeal ... and here's the stupid blonde bit .... I ran out of petrol a few weeks back .. switched to reserve so no drama there ... BUT ... hubby has since fiddled with the 'switch' and now I can't figure out which is reserve tank setting and what is normal ..... HELP!!!
The little black 'switch' has FUEL written on one end and and an arrow the other ... what way up should the arrow point ???
HELP HELP HELP!
sunny:
Very cool write up.
I had the FZX750 in Portugal I loved it. Wish I could get another.
If you are behind meDont ask as I am lost too.
hi guys,
just got myself a Zeal, but the previous owner don't know the exact year model of the bike...
Hope someone could help me figure out this one.
the Chasis number is 3YX-0550XX.
TIA
Happy New Year to All!!!
I apologise for reviving an old thread.
1991.
G'day Jason,
The CDI is the same as the FZR250 RR EXUP (3LN-82305-00, 3YX-82305-00), and the additional socket is for EXUP (FZR250 RR only). What Yamaha-Motor Japan did was take the engine, CDI unit along with many other bits and pieces from the FZR250 RR and used them for the Zeal production. However, the Zeal did not feature EXUP but still the socket is there. Essentially what makes the FZR250 RR quicker than the Zeal is a different exhaust setup, sprocket/drive ratio and EXUP.

Hey I am planning on restoring a FZX250 and was wondering if any of you guys have access to a repair and maintenance manual
