        Here goes the pics of my ride.I was so enamoured by the angel eyes with the golden forks that I totally forgot about taking snaps of the LED tail lamp.Attaching a pic from the net for reference purposes...Need some feedback from you guys regarding the mods.
        The pocket pinch...
        Angel eye + Demon eye + Projectors with 6000k HIDs and ballasts = Rs. 9000
        Front forks painting = Rs. 400
        Official Yamaha LED Tail lamp = Rs. 1200
        Notice the sticker near the grab rails...love them.

        P.S. : Planning to sell the headlight setup as there are high chances of getting a pair of LED headlamps from Audi..my neighbour works there and so I can get some salvaged spare parts at low prices.

          Nice..nice :thumbup:
          Love the headlight, looks superb. I see you have painted/masked the pilot lamp but still there's a small white panel between the pilot lamp and the visor, if you paint that part too black then it will look even better
          Led indicator is awesome, nothing much to say about the official led brake light as I feel they're not really well designed.
          Good work, she is a stunner.

            Many of my friends suggested me to do that..but not willing to do so,as the area around it is such that paint can easily get smudged.Will try it soon enough. I shifted to LED tail as I use both the beams at the same time, on stock battery. Afterall its a stock FZ's battery which takes enough load already So its a necessity to save watts.

              Remove the front fairing, then painting is a piece of cake

              I too use led brake lights, but custom made by a friend, it uses 90+ red LEDs :beer:

He opened & re-assembled the pads & greased the necessary components. Thereafter one side of the disc is properly gripped (that is facing the rim) while the other side (i.e, visible to us fully) is still having the same problem. What should be done to rectify it ? Totally fed-up with the SVC noobs.
                    Attached a picture for you guys to see it.
                    You can see that the outermost part of the disc is not effectively helping in proper braking.
                    Also if any one could help me telling the Email-id of Yamaha Back-office.
                    Guys anyone please help.

                      I don't find anything wrong in that pic
                      Btw pistons move only one brake pad(opposite of rim) and the other one one just sits there(rim side).
                      Take it to svc, and check if both the pistons move when you apply brake also check the condition of the brake pad.
                      Upload a pic of the brake pads, if possible.

                      EDIT: it looks like only one piston is working.

                        • Engine Check light always on on Yamaha FZS

                          Hi,

                          Thanks

                                Not in all states.

                                Next time cops stop you, give him this reason. If you tour in different states, it's better to keep it that way, don't give cops any chance, some of them might tear it straight away. Not only in India but also in different countries it is mandatory. Only for high-end motorcycles, people stick it on the fender/visor cause there is no mount, but few Indian versions have, for e.g. Ninja 650R. Also for traffic cameras it is required.
                                AFAIK,u need at least 1 HSRP on the bike.the rear part is most important & I've kept it as it is.
                                Not related to HSRP as such, but you will need both.
                                Regards,
