Well buddy... by choke/blast i meant to say the .....well how to explain.....
you see, sometimes when you accelerte the engine especially when its a bit cold you get a blast, a different sound of a blast from the exhaust..... thats what we were earlier talking about....you can refer to previous postings of other members.

As for the sound/squeak... the sound appears even without applying the breaks.....i have asked the yamaha mechanic to checked it infront of me, and that too twice.....

But then it keeps making the sound every now and then... though now its no more...when i enquired an engineer from Yamaha regarding it...he answered that its due to the disc break calipars or whatever you call the mechanical item. and i am glad that the sound has disappeared with time... probably due to prolonge riding which ultimately increases the gap between the Disc and the calipars.....
Only when i apply the breaks, its makes some squeaking sounds just like in the breaking of trucks....sounds good to me cos people gets the attention of the sounds of breaks and moves quickly to avoid being hit....

Well so far they havent even come up with a leg guard....dam every time I fall the tank cover keeps getting scratched and damaged.... at least the leg guard would prevent heavy damage to the tank while falling... and one more thing....the handle gets distorted everytime i fall man...

So the disadvantage of fixing/modifying/ your handle near your tank will only increase your damage to the tank when you fall......though one side of the tank covers cost only about Rs.600 .....lol...

So leg guard would do good in preventing the handle from being bent every now and then and also for preventing too much damage to the tank cover.... but again these leg guards can also hamper the chasis of the bike...but agian I guess the chasis is strong enough to widthstand such damages....is is not?

hahhaha.... yesterday, i was wheelieing with my FZ...went almost 90degrees up, the numberplate screws broke, the tail end got scratched, the side cover of the head light got damaged, my tank cover from the left got broken at the edges.....and the handle got bent.....lol
I remember i was running along with the bike for few yards when the bike front tyre was totally up and balancing on rear tyres only...i could hear the tail end and the number plates scratching against the road..... but there was no more space ahead of me except the wall, so i had to let go of my right hand and then the left and then ....bang! phrang! crank!.... and i lost balance too but manage to hold on somehow....
