I am keep on getting punctures. Tyre walla advised me to put a Tube into the front tyre of my fazer tomorrow.

Any advice ???? Will it have any impact in handling ???

Try using tyre slime... that should take care of all your puncture troubles.... bit on the expensive side though.. around 500-600 per ltr or something like that. tube i would not recommend although a cheaper option but just simply makes the whole deal of having tubeless unworthy and in a way is dangerous as in when you are doing high speeds and you get a puncture... unlike tubeless where you would lose tyre pressure slowly.. tube tyres the pressure loss will be sudden and your chances of losing control will be much higher..

cheers

I am going to give the bike for repairs this weekend and will ask the mechanic to get all the mentioned items verified and done.

Btw, I had replaced the following items about 2.5 months ago:
Clutch cable
Chain and Sprocket set
speedometer console
pushrod and torsion spring
sparkplug
air filter
brake pads (rear drum)
engine oil

Also, the engine shivers whenever i try to accelerate a bit quicker (not too sudden). I have religiously serviced my vehicle till now not sure what could have gone wrong.

Thanks again for the help and i will ask you some more questions after the bike is serviced ( i m hoping those will be very less

)

Hi,

So i got my bike serviced last weekend. Here is what they did:
- Clutch plates replaced (with boss clutch etc, couple of metal plates too and a torsion spring)
- general vehicle service
- front fork oil seal
- disc brake fluid (emptied and refilled i guess)
- rear brake clean & adjust
- clutch adjustment

Now the bike pulls freely and shifting problems are gone. No shivering when taking off from low speeds too.

There is one thing that is troubling me though. The toe shifter position is now raised. I now have to raise my toe a lot higher to cause an upshift and also need to raise my leg a bit higher (to place it above the shifter) to affect a downshift.

Is this adjustable? i just want it to be a bit lower so i maybe able to shift a bit easily and quickly?

Thanks again for your time and comments !

This is even a very easy Do It Yourself job: First have you bike on the central stand, and gear on neutral of course, then just undo the nut and take off the bolt on the gear lever on the gearbox, pull this lever off and put it back on with ONE "tooth" difference in the direction you want it. Put back bolt and nut, tighten reasonably...done!

. I will ask the mechanic to get it done
