[QUOTE=vimal_hbk;885007]spec - tacular dude..... nd unbelievable its a 2010 model....its like brand new... is it foto effect or u r using sm sort of teflon coating???
Thanks dude.. Not really a teflon coating but I had just washed my bike and used a polish. Actually what I really use is the one used for car interiors leather polishing liquid. I had been using that for matt parts only but these days i'm being lazy to use two polishes and just use this polish all over. But this works really well I must say. Gives a nice shine and doesnot let dust to stay on the body.

Hello bro. Yes I've connected the HID directly to the battery. Actually I got this projector kit ordered from sydney as a friend of mine was coming. So he got the projector for me but the ballast was not included. (Got this from ebay). So I used my old ballast which I had been using previously. This kit had wiring harness too with relay. But as my ballast had a different connector than this harness, I modified everything and connected the ballast without using that harness(including the relay). So I havent connected the relay as of now but am planning to get it connected when time allows. As per my understanding, a relay not only avoids overheating on the circuit, but it actually provides the required amount of volts/amperes to the destination. What I want to say is there will be very less loss of volts in between thus your light will be brighter compared to the wiring which doesnot have a relay. Like I had this Suzuki gs150r bike sometime ago and its headlight was in AC. So I took a wire directly from the battery and sourced it to the headlight thus making the headlights to work with the battery. So when I did that without the relay, the headlight was not glowing in its full brightness. And then someone suggested me to install a relay in between. And when I did that, the headlight gained its full glow. So what I basically mean is a relay is also needed to provide the full amount of energy to the source. And about the heating part, our bikes are already made to handle the 35 watt so basically I dont think we need a relay to handle the same 35 watt load but a relay is a must for various other reasons.
About the ballast, I too had kept them in the space between the fuel tank and its plastic cover before. I did that using a double sided tape(foam one) which I thought was strong enough to hold the ballast. But it kept felling down in a week or so. So now I've placed it between the headlight and the console. There's a small space there and I've accommodated it in between.
Hope this helps.

Thank you dude.

Re: Yamaha FZ-16

May be you are already aware but just to clarify, the pic in your attachment is of 2011 model. 2012 comes with different railings and wider pillion seat. Specs wise 2012 model has slightly less torque and apparently better mileage.

Hi Shv,
Just one doubt, does this includes the entire headlight assembly and also projector? I've 2 set ups both with head light assembly, because I didn't want to spoil the stock headlight. In case of any problem I just replace it with either, 10 mins job. Also make sure CCFL inverter for angel eyes is good quality since it burns out often during rains or any contact with water.
I'm using HIDs for more than a year, just wanted to share my thoughts.
HIDs work wonderfully within city limits. But if you are into touring, go for Hella's auxiliary lights. I'm using 220F. Lights are removable. I did't faced any issues during ~500kms run, except one of the clamps broke due to vibrations (poor welding).

Guys how about the below products from Motul.

Carb cleaning:

Welcome to Motul[application]=142&f[range]=21

Fuel system cleaner:

Welcome to Motul[application]=143&f[range]=21

If anyone used the above please give your feedback.

Nope it doesnot come with the headlight assembly but as mentioned in the earlier post does come with a projector which can also house a 55 watt HID should i ever decide to upgrade to a higher wattage bulb. For me the simple task is to get hold of a second hand stock headlight ASSEMBLY, ONE in good condition from Kurla scrap yard in Mumbai at throwaway prices, do some tests for water leakage. Once everything is fit then may be use a light layer of silicon gel on the sides and keep it waterproof.

Thanks for the inputs. Navnesh products have been highly rated by all so i guess i will have to try it out personally and post a report to confirm the quality as always for the benefit of the community


Cheers,

Arrrrghhhh! Does this mean "as long as you are not dead, you are alive" or something like that????

May I, without wanting to stir up another heated debate, recommend that more "safety oriented" advices be given here?

Sorry for who has recommended this doubtful way of making "sure" that the fluid level is all right (I was going to write:"criminal") but I would once again warn against such advices. When the fluid level is would it be a fraction of a millimeter above the minimal, all is still fine, sure, but the moment is gets below...you may end up trying to use a brick wall instead of your brakes!!

The oil HAS to be visible, and preferably near the top. Too much would lead in the master cylinder leaking the extra oil. Not enough will result in the master cylinder pumping air, and disappearing of ALL the front braking ....at a time when you will need it....guickly!

Re: Yamaha FZ-16

Seriously?

Can you check the pic once more? The showroom guy was like its the new 2012 model..

MSP yamaha Showroom, bangalore..
Can anyone please confirm that the pictures posted above is 2011 model? please guys..

Check this Products | India Yamaha Motor Pvt. Ltd.
Here you can see the latest 2012 model pics and features.
Check the attachment with wider seat and new grab bars. You can easily identify by looking at that.
Hope this helps.

ok but correct me if i am wrong......are you saying that the braking quality in two extremes??... as in either it will be awesomely braking or no (zero) braking???.......if this is the case then you are rite!!.....but i believe wat deville sed was there will be a spongy effect if the fluid is less.....there will be a gradual decrease in braking by which we can make out that fluid is less...never the less i have also provide him links where the person can check for himself. however if you are correct then thanks for informing the correct fact. appreciate it.... peace out..!!

yes thats a 2011 model..... NOT a 2012 model....

points of differences:
1. more useable rear grab bar.
2. wider seat
3. longer rear fender
4. new designed chain guard. in the older model the chain guard is just above the chain whereas in the newer model it covers both the above and below of the chain.

pls visit yamaha website for more details.

I did not say it systematically and suddenly goes from 100 to nil....although that's what can happen to your life!

The master cylinder is a pump, and as such it pumps whatever it gets.
If it is hyd. fluid, which is incompressible it will nearly immediately and integrally transfer the pressure applied on the lever onto the brake pads, this with minimal movement of the lever. The only movement will be due to the very small movement of the pads, and the elasticity of the whole thing. When one applies moderate pressure on the lever, he also gives very very minimal movement and the master cylinder pumps little fluid. If the fluid level is already low, it will take very little air and one may not notice anything but that the braking has become, maybe, a little more "spongy" to take Deville's word (from what you said).
If it pumps fluid plus air, which it will do if the level is would it be a fraction of a millimeter too low, but at the same time one wants to apply strong pressure to the lever, this lever may go down to touching the handle before the necessary pressure has been applied, resulting in far less powerful braking. This "far less powerful" may be such that it can kill you.

Now, gents: I am not interested in a nitty gritty discussion about how one can go too far. If one wants to use a brick wall instead of his brake, so does he. I only wishes he does that on his very own and not injure other people while committing suicide.

What I am totally against, and where I even thing the moderators could intervene by deleting such post and warn the author, is when advices that can endanger people's life are given here (or elsewhere). No "peace out" there. I call a spade a spade! Giving such advice, if that is what Deville actually said, is CRIMINAL! Period!

yes mate,
this is 2011 model. 2012 model comes with wider pillion seat and new grab bars and longer rear fenders also, last but not least it has kick starter.

Bhai, the query was in a almost new bike he couldn't see the brake fluid level through the level window and was worried being a newbie. Just said level is fine since it is above the window level. Since no issue with braking efficiency, there shouldn't be any issue in a brand new bike. That's all. Lots of misinterpretation I never stopped him from opening and checking.

Started my fazer almost after a month to get it a nice wash, I was surprised to see the bike start with just the push of the button and no stalling. My new P200NS gets on my nerves with cold start in the morning.

Any way I had a nice ride after the wash and the bike felt just like when it was new. Will be getting a better lighting next week.

AND HAPPY DUSSHERA/ VIJAYA DASHAMI TO EVERYONE.
