REVIEW :Yamaha's pikup is very good.riding also batter than other bike BUT why? Yamaha should considor to milege because indian people look milage and they cant afford 55-60 milage. Great milage like SPLENDOR,BAJAJ.SO why yamaha company did not considor this point. N prise also very high than other bike. Bike should be affordable for custumour. Should YAMAHA Considar this?

REVIEW : My Bike is a 2004 black - Yamaha Libero. It is a Good bike for city and long drive as the design of the bike is such that u wont get back pain when u ride for long. The libero is styled very good with aerodynamics that's why it is stable at high speeds and easy to handle. The old headlight was also a part of this aerodynamics to tear through Air and the light also was bright

It has given me a highest mileage of 75Km a litter on highway and average of 55 to 60 in city. The Yamaha engine is very good and consistent. One of my dads supplier who runs a small scale business has a G5, it has run 125000KM in the odometer and it still gives him average of 60 kmpl. (quite shocking when i saw the odometer, he said daily he travels around Chennai and outside on bike to meet his customers )

My friends change bike after 3 yrs , like bajaj bikes , mainly ..
the hero honda bikes with the 98cc engines are still going on. The splendor and passion for mileage but they drop as they get old in most cases.

Maintenance for Libero is quite simple :>
I have not spend anything to maintain other than the
. regular oil change at 2500 to 3000 km
. once in 2 months checking and adjusting the chain,clutch and brakes
. once in a year service
. the most important is a cleaning every week . and wash if required during rainy seasons.

It is very important you maintain your libero. It will return you with good mileage , no maintenance – no comfort riding. This is all I have to say, now you can ask me any question on this bike.

REVIEW : hi, i m ajay from chennai, i feel yamaha libero is quite better in performance when it is not given for service in authorized service centers, it gives millege across 45-55, the only problem is with service, here Paras motors service is very bad they just note down the complaints but doesn't rectify it. once bike is taken delivery after service same problem exists along with certain new problems, this makes maintainence cost more. yamaha should defenitely look into this and rectify service process.

REVIEW : Hi, I am a planning professional, I have been through all the review done previously by others. I dont find any sense in them most of the people do not know themselves what they are looking for , some say the mileage is good but no pick up, sound contradictory. I find my bike one of the best in it category , although its been 5 years it still gives me a better mileage and riding comfort. Most people do not have an idea that 4 stroke bikes need heating in cold climate. Unnecessary choke will do no good. As the bike maker says please read the riders manual. To know your bike better.

But they are doing the service for eyewash. They are doing the Free services for Time pass. In paid services the billing is more the 900rs to 1000rs.With out any proper job.Now i am giving my yamaha libero g5 in local services garage.Now it is up to the mark. I am not telling about the sparparts.It is only for services.

REVIEW : I bought a Yamaha Libero G5 no 14/2/08. (Brand new)
One thing I am willing to ask,
IF I start the bike in cold weather (18-22 c) it needs choke lever to be in ON position. That’s ok, BUT,
After a few minutes of raving the engine and 5-10 minutes of ride (with choke lever On), if I turn the choke liver to OFF position, the engine tends to TURN OFF if I increase the accelerator!!
After riding for more than 15 minutes, the engine gets normal and responds normally with the Choke liver in OFF position.
Now, is it normal for Yamaha Libero? Aren’t few minutes of mild raving and 5-10 minutes of riding (with choke on) not enough to turn the CHOKE Lever to off position?
Please Help. Is there anything I can do?

REVIEW : For milage it is good. But I am riding this for last 18 months. Problem with kick start in the cold climate, no pick-up (understandalbe), front break and gear box. Yamaha should change its new gear boxes with old Yamaha RX-100 gear box.It was too cool.

REVIEW : The libero G5 I purchased has a better styling than the bikes of its range n if talking abt engine its a city bike with a good sound n is pleasure giving as its sound is very light......n plz remember its yamaha. This bike is not meant for stunting so i think its power is ok(106 cc). If u want a bike for stunt go for karizma or pulsar 200.

REVIEW : I owned YAMAHA G5 on January of 2007, bike is looking good with good engine, less vibration, but gear system/neutral is not good, I am getting afraid of gear box. Everytime I am riding, becuase it is producing lot of sound while transfering gear level and it is not seating properly while changing gear. Yamaha is to be correct this, otherwise there is no use!!!

REVIEW : Libero bike look is very good, but 106 cc engine is not enough. For better performance it should be increased upto 115 cc, not 125 cc. Approximately 8.5 bhp, max speed 90 km/h.

REVIEW : I purchased the bike on Dec 2005. I covered more than 30000 Kms on this bike. I would like to share my experience with this bike to all.Let me first tell about the engine. Its very good. The performance, durability and fuel efficiency of this engine is great for a bike in kind. I had no problems with the engine so far. And it is silent.
Apart from the engine, frankly, all other components of this machine are poor. The suspension of both front and rear are good only for riding on highways.
The gear box was not at all bad, but I am getting neutrals when it is not needed (false neutral) and not getting neutral properly when it is needed (For instance, i have to stop quickly in top gear, and need to move to neutral).
The headlight is not much good and i find problems with night driving.
Another seriuos issue is with braking. Without a pillion rider, the machine is skidding if the road is wet. The switches, indicators are made out of low quality materials.

REVIEW : I purchased Yamaha Libero in July 2004. I liked its style and smooth and silent beating. But It has the gear/clutch problem
It will not come to Neutral smoothly. Even the green neutral indicator glows ..
it will be in some gear (I/II).
Also some times even if you hold clutch fully, it will be in gear and stops engine suddenly and making you out of balance.

REVIEW : It is the best bike,nobody can beat its mileage (it is not suitable for the 100 kg persons), take up the challenge ride the bike for 90 kmpl I did, it is best bike of yamaha with gr8 looks, i hope yamaha to make it a 150 cc 12bhp bike, then no other can beat it, dont listen to fat persons complaints, YAMAHA IS GOOD BUY

REVIEW : This is the dumbest bike i ever rode. In every month, I spend atleast 200/- for replacing broken parts like lever, wires, etc... There is no quality in this bike. Dont get fooled by the brand. They have started cheating public.

REVIEW : Milage is good, riding gives a good feeling, one should appreciate the smoothness of sound and riding feeling.
Pick-up is average,(since engine is tuned to possible full extent to result good milage)
It must have had sturdy head light and back mud guard is very ordinary.Still I prefer Libero LX to any other two wheelers in this category.

REVIEW : I have purchased YAMAHA LIBERO in march 2004 from Shakthi motors, 946 Poonamalle high road, Chennai.
Shockingly , on the 1st week of April , I found rusting in the Rim, Silencer and Bore. Also i informed immediately to the dealer( Shakthi motors ) and i was assured that it will be replaced. Later I was informed that due to non-availability of spares it will be replaced very soon.
After sometime , I came to know that their dealership is cancelled. I approached your people and I was directed to PARAS YAMAHA, Chennai -6. For my further replacement of the defected parts. There they exchanged me the silencer.
But the mileage is very poor. Its giving only 50-55 KMPL but they advertised it to be 85 KMPL. Atlast Yamaha has also started cheating the public.... Its painful to know this after having Yamaha bikes for more than 12 years
