True. The front would feel hopelessly light under a hard launch on a stock bike itself. It used to be a task for me to keep those 20odd horses in check under a hard launch. I used to shed all my weight front to get a launch. Later did the first swing arm mod (back in 2003 when none had tried such stuffs) to a longer one, stiffer suspension etc etc.
Missing my Fiero. Just waiting to clear some work and then start the rebuild on my Fiero 200.

Friends,
I have a Nov 2002 Fiero & clocked almost 88k kms.I have done engine work like new valves,piston,piston rings,block.I have also changed the stock headlamp with a FX headlamp to get more brighter output.Ohh yes before I forget,I have also installed a 5amp battery to take the load of an aux lamp.Rest everything is kept stock.Off lately I have noticed that the bike does not pull up properly meaning there is loss of power.Can you please suggest what could be the reason behind this.
Also can I upgrade my current stock CDI to that of an apache.If yes will it be a direct fit or do i need to modify something.

Seeking your advice.

Thanking in advance

Vishal

Suzuki Fiero - My first motorcycle. Bought on 6th June 2000. Recently completed 1.24L km's during the 3rd visit to Ladakh, thanks to 4 other bikes the running has come down on this one.

A small article I wrote about the bike (changes made to it included), in 2006.

@All: Has anyone installed a 12V, 2.5A sealed maintenance free battery onto their Fieros?

Also, what would be the tasks involved in getting the kick start changed to button start?
I know that it needs a battery of 5 amps, next wiring change, installing starter motor, what else?
What would be the total cost of all this including battery change?

How is the bike performing after 1.24L km's?

nav75 · 07-16-2009, 04:26 PM

Cosmetic per se, the bike has taken some beating, specially after having to be shipped via courier 6 times till now. On road performance is good, not as good as new but still eager for another Ladakh trip.

Any particular reason for the 9Amp battery? I too am planning for a bigger battery, coz the RTR ignition and CDI sucks all the battery power.
