    But he said if u keep 28 on front then bike will feel more jumpy on road.
    I maintain a pressure of 28 front and 33 rear of Nitrogen and the bike rides like she flies

      I am puzzled... 28/33 combination shud behave the same way when tyre is inflated with Air or Nitrogen. Correct me if wrong.

        its the same...he was just mentioning that he uses nitrogen.i have used both and there isnt much difference.
        In the end,it does matter.

                I clean it only when it's completely cooled ... vapours are bound to come up on a hot engine ... exhaust cleaning is difficult ... I didn't really get you . I cover the exhaust outlet to avoid water going in and then clean the exhaust .

                  • 2nd service done!

                    Hey all!

                    Today my Baby beast went in and came out of her second service. Orion have done a decent job the initial thrust seems to have increased. The bike was misfiring at low RPMs that problem is sorted now maybe the air/fuel mixture was a bit leaned and now they ve tuned it. This could ve improved it's pickup. Also fitted Baby beast with the Gladiator's horn. I am happy with the horn now its more bassy and gets reactions on the road unlike the shrill stock horn on the FZS. Well thats it for now!!

                              • Fazer owners ,

                                Yesterday I got my insurance papers. Took a close look at today and saw that the bike model mentioned is FZ 16. I know its my mistake, should've checked it there itself. Is it the same with you guys?
                                Will check with them tomorrow? But just wanna know what's with others.
