    I believe yes.. to add to the existing info.. i read the manual of Fazer.. the specification seemsto be almost same as of FZ (including engine).. in first look it looks like FZ with R15 fairing.. thats it.. and to be honest it didnot attract me too much.... if u like Naled look of the current FZ, i am sure u wud not like to have that fairing...

    but as per ur question, there is no reason why Fazer fairing cannot be attached to FZ.

        So how many kms done till now...if u have crosseed 5000 kms ...or anyway near it..would advice you to change the oil filter too....

        The teflon coating thing... it is generally outsourced to some other person.after 6 months u need to contact the person whu did the coating directly.The service center will take no liability.See if that can be negotiated.Teflon coating is some where between 350- 550. Castro Bike Zone does it for Rs 350... same after 6 months another coating... but need to contact the person directly.
        I enquired at pulsar service center.They are charging Rs 500 for teflon coating.Yami guys are always greedy!!! Even here they charge Rs 600


        What happened to the earlier logos??
        Thx mate!

        I believe you are correct.. They initially quoted 750 bucs for 2 coats.. i said No straight away... and then after healthy bargain we settled for Rs 600. I even mentioned that bajaj guys do the same for 450-500 bucs but they chanted same old 'Quality' poems... anyways bike looks good after polosh and coating..

The dumbass supervisor (couldn't even understand the words in the manual) began to argue with me that I need to pay Rs. 100/- for the Chain cleaning.

          His excuse: We use Motul chain clean and then lube. It will cost you.

          What I didn't understand was that - The service center is required to complete all the items listed in the service instructions. It is mentioned in the manual to clean and lube the chain. Let them use whatever God Forsaken products to accomplish that. It should be free!!! Why the hell would they charge us for it.

          If they want to charge us, they should probably supply new manuals with that item removed from them and a public apology for the mis-statement.
          Well said... Agreed!

                  • Ya...i have seen that....it might be for their assembly feasibility....


                    Also in my knowledge adding the fairing in the naked FZ will require following things to be done.

                    1. additional brackets in the fork area.

                    2. new wiring for the dual headlamp system

                    3. replacing the lower air flow panels. Also we need to see whether the leg guard which is available for normal FZ is ok with fairing as well.

                    • I saw fazer today... horns are dual and much better that fz16 i think they are 2 fz16 horns... soud like that only.
                      looks good too but no split handles...
                      posture is same
                      golden callipers though
                      red shockers
                      regular handlebar
                      same engine gearbox sprockets tyres etc.
                      same driver display but lil diff graphics
                      new fairing/mirrors
                      all black seat
                      i can't write any other thing
                      82k onroad nasik too much
                      though 75 is on a lil higher side too
                      Kingdom FAR FAR away is where I wanna be...
                      But I can't find a road headed that way.

                        the name should not be Fazer but FZ+ (..just like splendor+)

                        excepting front fairing, no major changes.. was waiting for this bike since long but had to admit that the launch has been disapointing
