The primary reason might be Fuel adulteration. Did you get your bike refilled immediately after service and this problem started?

THANKS TO ALL THE GUYS FOR ALL THE TIPS!

@ r@m : I read the manual it says to keep the bike under 4.5K rpm for the first 500KMS and to keep it under 6K rpm till 1000Kms.

I used to keep the constant running RPM under 4.5K but rarely but surely I have touched touched 5K line some 5 ~ 7 times.

That idiot svc guy revved it to 6KRPM for 3 ~ 4 seconds .. dunno what happened..

but I do touch to 60K/hr almost every day but the rev stays less than 4.5 is that ok ?.. or should I limit to 55K/hr .. if that is so .. then the initial breaking in (the most important time) is screwed up ! The bike has done 500Kms like this and first service is done!!!

More over .. what is the most economical gear shifting possible ??

I use : 1 -> 18 - 1st Gear
18 -> 29 - Second Gear
30- > 40 - Third Gear
40-> 50 - Fourth Gear
50 + - Fifth Gear


The reason is .. if I try to stay in the same gear longer the revs go up to more than 4.5k Rpm

SO in essence I am short shifting to keep the revs low .. For a bike like FZ with a huge torque.. I don't hear any knocking when I am doing 50Km/hr @ fifth gear ! ..

I am all ears .. PLEASE Advise.
dude...u are doin fine...shift up at 4.5k rpm... down at 2.5krpm for the run in period....
u havnt mentioned whether u have completed the run in...so thats da advice....keep it cool till like 1000kms ..after the first service rip it..if u wanna....the thing that the mech did will not affect dont worry..

well these motoxtypes are pretty useless for highways,the "cap" doesn't help aerodynamically,you dont get a visor with it too,which means,you have to take the rains,dust etc!
i almost bought it!,then realized all this..better get a full face...unless you are going to use it ONLY in the city!..but yeah these helmets match the FZ terrifically!
