    Its mostly the chain hitting the upper part of the metal frame. The noise comes from my bike also.

    Cheerz!!
    The real beauty lies in throttle's twist!!

    Headlight can be replaced, Head cannot be. Wear a helmet.

      from the time of last service, about a month ago.. my bike is deaccelerating way too quickly..
      like earlier, when i used to leave the throttle, it took about 20 mts to halt (just say).. but now it takes only 10 mts..
      is it a good thing or bad.. ?
      i'm talking when i'm not braking..

      using a single type of fuel is advisable.. changing the type from simple to back can sometimes have negative impact on the engine..
      else its the same i have used both and felt no change in any way.. also the simple petrol costs less

      Ride safe and have fun.

        It happens when in gear or in neutral?

        If you are in lower gear, the bike will come to halt quickly as compared to bike in higher gear.

        Also, the rolling resistance offered by the tyres, wheel bearings also play a role in this. Nothing to worry about. This is normal phenomenon in any automobile. How many kms done on your bike?

          Clean chain and sprokets and lubricate them well and also was there a change in engine oil grade? Thick oils, especially the minerals, increase resistance inside the engine.

            Ya I know that.. But i'm talking about when running in 5th gear at around 60-70 km/h
            I ride a lot on highway, so the speed is normally on the higher side, there I noticed this..
            The bike has done nearly 17500 km..

            No, I have used the same oil always, yamalube..
            The service was done about a month ago, so I don't think there should be any lubrication problem just now..

            Ride safe and have fun.

              Get the greasing done of your wheel bearings. Also, if necessary, replace them.

              Also, the roads are not absolutely straight. This will offer resistance to the free movement.

              Cheerz!!

                  Installed K&N Stock replacement filter for my FZs. There is a very little performance gain over stock but the engine fills more rev happy and less stressed. Hope this will also help in my upcoming hill rides.

                          I Agree.. Installed it few months ago.. FE Dropped by 2-3 Kms..

                          Slight change in the bike sound.. Ive seen people ride without the Air Filter Cover; getting a better sound.. :P

                                Is there any need of decarbonizing engine ports and cylinder. What ll be the expected cost for this.?
