don't worry about that.

@anjit : thnx. i too have experienced this. Till 5k, the engine is smooth. Just as it reaches 5k, i feel something in the engine is getting rubbed against.
now i know its ok.

while going through the posts, i read somebody reporting that sometimes
it gets difficult to downshift.

i had given my bike for servicing yesterday, and on delivery had found the same problem, took it back to the service centre today.
the service advisor said that the clutch cable is hard and not properly lubricated. He asked a mechanic to lubricate it.
In 5 minutes, i was on my way back to office and the problem did not resurface.

even i have faced this problem.
the screw became loose a couple of times, got it tightened,
but the screw didnt relent and it finally fell off a couple of weeks back.
Got this fixed at the service centre. But yesterday, the handle couldnt be locked by turning it to the left and also the ignition key couldnt move to the On position.
On enquiring whether this is specific to my bike or to the whole model, the service advisor told me that it is not specific to FZ model and is seen in Gladiator model to ( can somebody pls validate this ?).
He also said that it happens due to bikes getting moved in parking lots(pressure gets applied( when other ppl move your bike here and there) to the screw threads due to which the screw loosens) .

Guys today i faced an issue because of engine kill switch..

On the way back from office when i stuck up in the traffic i turned off the engine using engine kill switch(which i rarely do). when i ON the switch again and start the engine, Surprisingly the engine dint started.after trying for one hour (yeah you read it correct) i able to start it with llittle adjustment in the switch position..

So guys be careful with the kill switch as the SVC guy(i called them) told that the switc in FZ is not perfectly adjusted for most of the bikes

hmmm ... That's really news to me !

... I've been using the switch since i got my bike and it has given me no such starting problems except for a time when I forgot to switch on the fuel tap
