    May be its not much of a problem but I find my FZ's brakes (both of em) a bit less responsive then my frnd's FZ. My frnd says this is coz d bike is new & will take some time to get satisfying results from those brakes. Further, as many FZ owners have pointed out earlier in this forum, m facing d exact issues wit getting my seat locked back in position.

    P.S : I found out my FZ is missing Medical kit & it was my mistake not checking out pre delivery. Do you guys think I can negotiate wit Yamaha guys for it now??

      Hi mtz,

      Congrats for ur new bike, getting a medical kit wont be an issue, I mean I dont think there will be any need for a negotiation just go and ask for it.

                      The only benefit it has in normal street bikes is that you have to refill the air less frequently. Nothing else.

                        yes it does stay longer but its pain to get in Bangalore so i have to go to far than koramangala to get it so i stopped, but it stays much longer around 1.5 - 2 months before refill. Refill takes 10 - 20 bucks.

                        Also please check nitrogen thread (under universal threads) first and check forum before posting such questions here..

                          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..
                          Thanks for ur reply dude!
                          Am takin ma bike tomorrow to service centre i'll let u knw aftr that. Also i'll chk the manual as u told.....

                            well... compressed nitrogen has got less moisture in it dan compressed air... (since nitrogen is filled from a compressed container)...
                            so in the heat... wen ur tyres heat up, moisture in the tyre vapourizes and expands... ("it has been said")... which causes the pressure in the tyre to increase... ever-so-marginally!!

                            but it's a marginal difference... since air is 70% nitrogen anyways...
                            so yea... it only prolly makes a difference if for F1, nascar drivers...
                            or F16s pilots... and this is the FZ16 thread... so yea... in terms of handling... it doesn't really make a difference on motorbikes... unless ur as fussy n perceptive as rossi.

                              thanks for your reply guys...will give it a try
                              has anyone of u felt that the low profile rear tire is too wide??..cause whenever i carry a heavier pillion rider(80+kgs), the tyre makes too much road noise (even though the tire pressure is normal)..im not complaining about its handling though..
