    don't worry wash it

    silly advice : don't let your seat open and wash the bike






    ANY OF YOU FZ/FZS/FAZER OWNERS

    have changed your spark plug to special one that is:

    NGK OR BOSCH (irridium)

      The Chain play is alright, I have checked that many times. My point about the Chain is generic for Fuzzys and not specific to my bike alone.




      What exactly do you mean by tappets?
      Well, AFR is mostly corrected manually, in case of carburetter bikes.

      About Tappets, these are the mechanisms which enable movement of the valves, according to the 4 strokes (cycles) of combustion.
      Your FZ has 1 Inlet Valve to let in Air+Fuel through Carburettor, and 1 other valve to let out the burnt gases.
      These valves are continuously opening and closing.

      When Tappets are wrongly adjusted, Valves opening tightly, and this works against torque & performance. And yes, Mileage too.

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

                My bike ha done 1900 ODO. 1st service done ....
                Before service the millage was 46 aftr service it has reduced to 36 i went to service centre and told them the issue thy adjusted something and told tht it'll be fine aftr tht millage is 40, but now the pick up has reduced drastically...
                I dont feel the pulling power in 1st & 2nd gears also when i go at a speed of 80 there is a light vibration.
                When am at 100+ once i close the throttle engine gets off and doesnt start for some time it hapd twice .......

                Is it a major issue?
                Help me out!

                            i think your bike is running in lean air fuel mixture..the service guy must have set your bike to run in lean mixture as u have said him that u dont get better mileage..lean mixture may give u slightly better fuel economy but can cause low pickup.vibration.engine turning off & engine over heating..
                            check whether your engine is at correct idling speed..(refer page 6-11) in your FZ Owner's manual for 'Adjusting the engine Idling speed'..this may rectify your problem..
