Some interesting points:

1. FZ-S ver 4.0 DLX comes with Traction Control System and Bluetooth connectivity.
2. All bike models are specifically highlighted to be E20 compliant (except FZ50)
3. Old models are still on sale along with version 4.0
4. R15S with LED lamps and single seat variant is available for 1.62L INR (1.81L INR for Version 4.0)
5. Sadly, the FZ-250 gets a step motherly treatment as it has none of the new features other bikes from Yamaha stable have received

Thanks Yamaha for finally adding dual channel ABS on the MT-15. Makes it a complete bike now for urban commutes. I hope they have also softened up the suspension as that is one of the main complaints I hear on V2 bikes.
On the question of E20 compliance, only 2023 FZ-S V4.0 and FZ-X are currently compatible with E20 fuel. The rest of the line-up will be compatible with E20 fuel only by the end of this year.

I still do not understand the necessity to have Traction Control on the FZ-S and FZ-X Lineup. At this point, these features seem like more of a nice to have than a necessity. I understand that R15 and MT-15 might be used by track enthusiasts but FZ's are strict street usage machines that merely make 12bhp.

And I am sure that the it has been one of the most fool-proof bikes. Even with the most reckless usage, I've never seen the necessity for such a feature. The way I see this, Yamaha is marketing "nice to have(s)" compared to the competition. Hopefully this doesn't encourage other manufacturers to start doing the same.

I have a 2023 FZ-X bought in July 2023. While I am fully satisfied with the performance of the bike, one of my persistent grouse is that the rebound from the rear mono-shock is way too sharp. Every pothole, speed breaker and undulation is felt and is spine jarring enough to make it a painful experience. I used a C-wrench to adjust it to the softest setting and yet the ride is quite hard and painful.

Then I also tried reducing the tyre pressure - that helped a bit but not too much. I also added a padding on the seat to make it better, but not much difference. I have also tried searching online for a solution, but again information about this motorcycle is very less. It's a pity that the suspension rebound is way too hard, on an otherwise good commuter motorcycle.

Any leads from any experts here - how can I adjust the rear mono suspension to make it less stiff?
