Handle is bent,
Light has broken

rear silencer and rear tail grab has some scraches

the total cost Svc center guy asked for repair is 4000 bucks minimum. But happy that i will get insurance claim upto 55%

The fluid costs 250 bucks per tyre, it similiar to fluid in tuff up tube in Honda Unicorn. Sai and Iyengar in Indiranagar has this fluid.

For all your kind information Mushroom punture is just 120 Rs not 300. I suggest you not to go for the Anti punture fluid. Original is costly and are not usefull that much because a seeled tubeless tyre if removed it will not sit properly back and also if the fitting is not proper the tyre & the alloy will get bent. Hence i suggest avoiding it.

Yeah. Long metal rod of CBZ Classic. In CBZ it is fixed with snap locks which won't work with FZ handle. So used auto grade double-sided tape, 3 layers. Now am wondering how I will remove it if I want to put it in new handle if I have to change this.

Cost: 38 per stem and 46 per weight. Plus 3M double-side tape 90 bucks.

Total 168 for parts [+ 90 for tape [already had them]].

hope you are assured now

The great samboy did it again !! ..

I finally tuned my fazer's carb after a few tries, and now the real chapter begins.. the pickup has increased considerably, the bike is not knocking like before , smoothness has increased .

The dimwits at the svc never bothered to tune my carb properly.

The sweet spot of the A/F screw was 3/8th a turn towards the leaner setting , all this time more fuel was fed to the engine than it could chew.

I will check the mileage after this and let you guys know , currently it was 40.

If the mileage increases , this may be the answer to all the FZ mileage wows.

MANY THANKS TO JD666 , N-O-V-I-C-E AND ALL THE GUYS WHO WALKED ME THROUGH IT.

that is definitely a good news but i like the exclusivity FZ provides...... its fun to watch peoples faces when you tell them "meri bike me to kick hi nahi hai".....

one more thing was ur bike giving problems whole day long or just in the morning..... my dio used to give some problem while starting in the night and early morning later on the mechanics found out a cut in the wiring because of which whenever headlights were on battery was not able to take the load of the starter....
