So, I mount my Kodak Z915 into this custom made pod and it works fine for me. I will upload video soon.
BTW do u have a Go Pro, where u get this in India?

You will get it Performance Racing Store, Mumbai.

the master link has rivet in it and cannot be opened. i got mine changed couple months back. got it done at a local mech. the rear tyre and the assembly nr front sprocket had to be removed (probably the ASS would have a better method). it was very time consuming. if i recall right the ASS charge Rs. 300 for labour.

the rear tyre assembly needs to be removed no doubt about that no other method.... and it is a time consuming process.....

Finally here is the video, which was taken in my KODAK z915 camera. Sorry for the poor editing.final cut.wmv - YouTube

You can always cut the chain. Get a new one with a master link. Slide it over and loosen the rear wheel to adjust tension

require advice for fitting k&n airfilter and petal disk on fazer , its disadvantage, does it require any change in jet of carb

Hi All,

this saturday i have finally decided to start looking out for alternative options for my FZ-X's rear tire along with Mitz and Abhimanyu31. Though the stock MRFs have been good to me, i have decided to go for a little bit harder compound and test it out. My pending Leh trip needs the tire mod as the stock ones are not meant for off-roading.

So just for the benefit of this community, i will try and take names, pics and prices of the tires that can be fitted as an alternative on the Yamaha FZ. Please note: that the prices will be based only for Mumbai region (india) and may differ in other states.

It seems that my tires haven't had any other puncture besides one of the old puncture repair patch which gave away today morning. So a simple patch up job took care of it. Besides that, i am witnessing a lot of tire cracks between the tire grooves which i guess is because of the tire rubber aging and the rubber compound hardening being exposed to the elements.

Best regards,

i'm planning to switch to Motul FS. Could anyone pls advise the recommended oil grade for fz. last time i checked at Pacer Yamaha (B'lore) they no longer stock Agip FS which i'd been using. only SS & mineral one's.

Hi,

being an avid user of Motul FS since the last 6,500 kms, i would recommend going for Motul 300V Factory line 4T, 15W 50 Double Ester. Costs around 950-980 bucks.Lasts 5000+ kms.


Cheers,

have clocked 20k odd with the current stock one. might last another 1k kms. contemplating on a 130/70 profile as the off-set would be lesser than 140/70.
would be keenly following your inputs on this. appreciate your effort for the benefit of the larger forum.
