Hi Guys,I've been a silent observer until now,thought i'll share my 2 cents.I got my FZ-16 on 26th of December from Panache @ C.M.H Road,Bangalore. I've done nearly 650 kms until now..the bike's great,ride is smooth,the low end grunt is a dream for city riding(not so much for highway though

)Took it out to Hosur yesterday,couldn't resist the urge to push it,I hit 85 kmph.Mileage has been hovering around 42-44 kmpl.

PS: The FZ doesn't need any styling changes ..all it needs are performance tuning upgrades.NO BLING PLEASE!!

The other day I have observed two FZ's with bent alloys at the back. Personally I felt when I looked at the alloys first time, the quality is not upto standard. The bent alloys of two FZs I have seen other day give enough proof for my statement.

Any observations in this regard??

What can be the reason for this downwards slope? I mean i was soo happy when i was gettn average of about 45 and dat 2 before getting my bike serviced even once, i was xpecting that i will go up, but now i am getting mere 35-38!

Is theres some problem with tuning?

I would recommend to fill petrol Only from a trusted petrol bunk.. so that there is no variation on the Quality and Quantity front.

I would also suggest the Tank Top Up to Tank Top Up method of calculating the fuel efficiency.
