    The speed may vary for each FZ I think, according to the adaptation of the engine and the servicing and maintenance. Even if its giving anything above 110kph, its a bonus

    But one thing for sure, I don't feel like I'm riding it at speeds above 100kph as it looks so comfortable

          Night Breakers are not Xenons mate, they are halogens.

                      replace ur front brake pads... n please replace them with original yamaha ones.

                      incase ur wondering... they're not covered under warranty.

                      and get it replaced soon... or u can kinda damage ur disc a bit.

                          i have no idea how much they cost exactly... they shouldn't cost more than a couple of hundred rupees approx.

                            but by the way i hav reached 116 on speedo once with a pillion behind me...
                            maan we were on a journey we had 2 bikes mine fzs and p220..
                            i reached 116 on speedo with a frnd behind meee on a realllllllly long stretchof road...
                            and once reached 115 alone but thn the road ended...

                            Even i did 110 Kph with a Pillion Rider. Maybe i Should Try once again Alone,
                            and Loose Some Weight lets see.

                            Planning on a trip, will let you guys know if i can top more than 115kph
                            But 1 thing is for Sure, Even at that Speed, Vehicle was Smooth & Vibration only from Engine.

                              i dont know about FZ's pads price..
                              i remember my friend's Pulsar 150's front disc pads costing 200 odd bucks..and my HH Ambition's front disc pads costing 800 bucks..
                              i think FZ's pads will cost around 200 bucks as both FZ and Pulsar use KBX disc brakes...

                                yaa u shud try again..
                                ma fz reaches 110 easily even with a frnd behind meee coz ma house is near a highway so itss easy 2 reach tht speed..
                                and also ma house is in outskirts of the city so i hav 2 drive 10 km one side to get to the city..
                                so i reach 90-110 easily everyday...
                                but ya if u wanna attain more thn 105 or 110 u nd the pillion both must lean really down..
                                i and the pillion too had to lean very much for tht speed...
                                I wud prefer to drive on the road to hell.. rather than flying to heaven...
