    Take a TD and you will come to know the difference between a carb'd bike and FI bike.

    On road price will be around 90 all costs included won't it? My hunk is heavily maintained still it is giving a mileage of 35 and the cylinder head screws need rethreading. Hope it is not the same with fz. Also how's the gearing?

      Bike's top end struggles a lot when compared to other 150cc counterparts. No idea about FZ V2. But, low and mid range torque is great and makes city riding a boon.

      The real beauty lies in throttle's twist!!

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

        Will go for a test drive. Braking is one of my main concerns. Thanks for your help.

          Guys, the rear sprocket wobbles even after changing the rear drum, rear cush. Sprocket bearing and wheel bearing is fine.

          What can be the issue?

            How did you check the sprocket bearing and wheel bearing , when did you last change them

            Cheers

              Removed the bearing and checked it (no play observed). Haven't changed the bearing till now, SVC guy says that the bearing is fine, but there is minimal bend in the rim because of which the sprocket wobbles. Not sure how can a bend rim make the sprocket wobble.

                whats your odometer reading. And do one thing, put the bike in centre stand and tell someone to hold the bike firmly then try to move the rear wheel side ways. If there is more play. Then either the swing arm bearing or the wheel bearing needs replacement. If you remove the bearing from the housing then it is difficult to know even the slightest play. I think your wheel bearing is culprit.

                cheers

                  Odo is 19700kms. The same was done yesterday at a local garage (moving the wheel sideways), no play observed.

                  If the wheel bearing is culprit, how can the rear hub's centre move out of axis?

                  Will replace sprocket bearing and wheel bearing and see if anything changes or not.

                      No accident, except a fall. But, the rear wheel wasn't hit by any means. I doubt if the bent rim will cause the hub to move out of its centre.

                        I have completed with the LED tail lamp conversion. Check the results in the video.

                            I have already started writing DIY. Simultaneously I'm testing the circuit, I have found some faults in the circuit.
                            I'll post DIY once I solve all the problems, because I don't want you guys to build a faulty circuit and then curse me for the problems..
                            The problem is mostly with the resistor value. Let me experiment for a week.

                              Check for following:

                              1) The condition of spark plug, spark plug cap.
                              2) If the spark plug cap is receiving proper current or not.
                              3) Clogged air filter.
                              4) Water in petrol tank.

                              Replaced air filter and spark plug. And issue solved Thanks for your suggestions guys. I was fedup with this issue. bike was impossible to ride now. stalling even at 5000rpm

                              But i have to say, yamaha ASC sucks. Atleast in my city. FZ's air filter is out of stock there since last 10 days and they are still not sure when it'll be available again. I bought the filter from a local spare parts shop. last time they took 1.5 years to replace my clutch return spring. Every time i asked for the spring they told me its out of stock.
