i do not want to do any physical changes in the carb, or engine, for better performance..

what do u mean by Optimum Performance? if u mean to get more mileage, do the following:

First of all never adjust the air screw (for more mileage) during the running-in period, if ur bike has completed the running-in, do the following:
1. Tighten the air screw fully (do not over tight it)
2. Increase the idle speed by turning the idle screw (to keep the engine running)
3. Loosen the air screw 2 to 2.5 turns
4. Adjust the Idling speed to 1400 rpm

if u want sheer pick-up and performance and doesn't care about mileage, loosen the idling screw only for 1.5 turns.

Yeah, its a clear case of lower idle rpm setting. Btw, does the FZ idle at 1400 rpm? I felt its a bit high coz my R15 idles at 1200 RPM!

hi guys

I have ridden long many times on my fz, and each time if the ride is longer than 1 n a half to two hours its a pain in the ass... if you don't take a halt that is... to minimise this i put another sponge 2 cm thick, temporarily on my seat... it makes the seat fatter softer n sweat absorbing. but its a really shabby way of doing it. Is there any better suggestion...

Thanks in advance

i guess if u ride any other two wheelers..for more than an hour and half..u gonna get ur ass in pain..

unless its cruiser bike like enfields and others..u cant ride these bikes either for more than 2 hrs without a breather for ur ass..

also i feel that two wheeler engines shud not be run at a stretch for more than 2 hrs..they need break..

Thats a funny but nice way!

Braveheart · 05-29-2009, 01:30 PM

thanx guys...

initially I have a feeling that the mesh cover might imprint red checks on my bums... on a long ride that is... thats why m avoiding it... anyone who has ridden long with them.

nah its cushioned, its like double layer of mesh. you can take a look at it, i ride in city so seems pretty good to me.

@sarvajit yeah actually i discovered it as my bike was washed at service center before putting cover, he just wiped the seat and put the cover, when air was flowing through it,

it was a pleasure
