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]].
Hmm...looks very neat....but will have to think over again whether to go for it coz of the tape involved....
cheers.....

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.
Great work....lets see how it goes>>>>>

^^ the kicker, shaft, spring, etc all are listed in the parts catalog of the FZ-16. you can check it out at any dealership, just ask for the parts catalog for the FZ family. I have seen it in the parts catalog of the FZ16.

Hey Galaxtus, Any idea where the mushroom puncture is done in Bangalore? And regarding its efficiency?? I had one puncture prior to my 1st service. Got it repaired. But now i'm facing some weird pressure drops, especially when i travel on bad roads. Got to get it checked.

Thanks in advance.
