I am all too thrilled! I get the feeling of riding a powerful bike for the 1st time in my life! after the 1st service, the engine feels a lot more easy going and responsive.
That's right buddy,
in run-in time bike cries to cross all limits,
but after 1st service, ît becomes a Beast Ûnleashed,
and rider, huh rider is a psycho now,
who wants to push more n more,

i did 116 speedo, on 14 fab, it feels like riding a SBK,

enjoy the FZ,

While returning from Aero India last weekend,a nail got lodged in the rear tyre of my FZ.Being a tubeless one,no one had the knowledge of how to get the work done.When I contacted Panache,OMR,Bangalore on Sunday they said not to remove the nail and leave it there.Bring the vehicle in on Monday and they'll have a look.I left the vehicle yesterday morning and got it back yesterday evening.They had removed the nail,placed some sort of wooden wedge to air seal the hole.When i rode home last night i felt something was wrong,I filled air last night(28F/33R) to check whether it holds till morning.When i checked again in the morning,the front was at 28 but the rear had come down to 22.Could someone let me know if they fixed a puncture on an FZ in B'lore before and where?I'm not happy with what the Panache Service guys have done
Thanks in advance

I'll have to admit, If some 1 wish to see a digital fool, just have a look at the Fuel Level Indicater that FZ sports. Its more than ridiculous. The only true indication that one can get of the low fuel is actually when you are in Reserve!

Now how stupid is that? Can this be fixed? Any1 Any Idea?

Is it?
So does that mean that there z no way out to get correct or atleast somewhat correct reading?
The only time it gives me presumable correct reading is the time when i refuel the bike.
