      Is your bike new and when did you change your bike's engine oil last time.

          EDIT: Change the air-filter. At high altitudes, the air becomes thin and this makes the Afr slightly Rich and on top of it, if the air-filter is dirty/clogged, that would make it even richer and hence the power loss.

                Less dense air entering will actually make the mixture rich not lean.

                    Not sure about the battery warranty, your fibre/plastic do not come under any warranty.

                        If the bike is under warranty period and you alter any wiring or electrical connection, warranty for the same will be voided.

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

                          Your bike's electrical system including battery would be out of warranty if you add any after market horns, lights etc.

                              Going to complete 5 glorious years on my black beast, fz 16 (2009 Aug model).
                              I have a query. the seats have become very hard and extremely uncomfortable for my .. Is there any option to replace the stock one with a more comfortable or cushioned seat? Any other option to make it more comfy as I m planning to use the bike for my daily commute which is around 40km one direction

                                Hi All...
                                Today i got my Fazer's engine oil changed at a local mechanic.
                                I asked him for Motul 5100, but he poured in Motul 5100 10W30 instead of 15W50 .I found it later when i checked the bottle as the price is almost same for both.
                                Will it cause and issues as i am running on 15W50 since last 20K KMs.?
