It was a great opportunity to know about the whereabouts of Yamaha motorcycles & scooters Here we met Mr Paul who is the head of Yamaha Motorcycle factory management in India. Also we met Mr Wimal Rana, who is the factory head of Surajpur & Mrs Ishika from Corporate PR Department.

Mr Paul showed us the paint shop yamaha motorcycle india then we went to see the production line. They informed us that one average it takes 34 seconds to assemble lower cc bikes like Yamaha Saluto 125. If the bike is around 150 cc like Yamaha FZS V2 then it will take over a minute. They gave us some presentation on how the things work out in the factory and finally we got the chance to ask them some questions. Then we started our question and answer sessions. Mr Paul and other officials from Yamaha Motor India was very cordial to answer the questions. We are going to present what we have talked about.

BikeBD: What kinds of things you think the Bangladeshi bikers are doing wrong with the Yamaha bikes ?

Yamaha Motor: One thing I should let you know that for FI engines you don’t need to back and forth the accelerator after starting the engine but people always do such thing. FI engines set engine’s rpm by itself, you don't need to go back and forth.

BikeBD: Any message for Bangladeshi bikers from Yamaha Motorcycle India?

Yamaha Motor: Motorcycle is a important gadgets for daily life. Please enjoy your YAMAHA BIKE LIFE with Yamaha bikes.
Sadly due to lack of time we couldn't ask too many questions but we hope that we managed to cover the key points about Yamaha bikes. Due to high level restrictions we weren't allowed to do too much video or photographs inside the factory, most workers are often aren't allowed to take camera/phone inside the factory while working.

This was all about the Yamaha factory visit, in our previous article we covered Indian Auto Expo 2018. We want to thank ACI Motors for giving us such a wonderful experience. Hoping in the near future we will cover more international Auto Show in many other countries in Bangladesh.
