    Hello fz owners, please help me on proper tuning my fz 16. Earlier, I had changed the company adjusted tuning and made the screw turn left ie. toward less power.
    The idle rpm is showing about 1200rpm. I feel a sort of missing between the gears. Also the bike just runs for around 5 seconds in neutral and goes OFF. There have also been starting problems.

    But the advantage is that I noticed a good increase in mileage. I was getting 40-42 kmpl after my first service, but after the tuning I got 54kmpl, which is the highest I have obtained. Should I give it to the SVC for proper tuning, or should I keep it this way.
    (P.S. I could do with plus 50 mileage and I don't trust the service center personnel. The service is not good. )
    .
    Normal Engine idle RPM is 1300-1500rpm..tuning the idle screw for less power (hence lean air-fuel mixture,more mileage,less power),so your bike must be running in lean air-fuel mixture,this may give you better mileage but can cause engine over heating and internal engine damage..

      I think, the idle screw just sets the idle rpm but does not alter the air-fuel proportions. There might be a different screw for that. Visually, the throttle valve (what ever it is called) position is lowered when the idle screw is loosened. So, i guess that just decreases the amount of air-fuel mix going in to the engine from the carb at idling (no twist of the throttle grip) but does not alter the mix itself.

      I might be wrong.....

          get the oil changed in service otherwise you will void your warranty, you can spend extra money get your oil change done later from outside....

                Guys help me..

                Can I use Yamalube SG grade(15W40) for SL 20W40 grade engine oil( which am using now for my bike)..

                My off is 8 kms away from ma home. During the morn first ride (7am) i used to reach 90 - 100 when Madrs- Calutta highway crosses my path after 3 kms from home. Is this a bad riding habit??
                I heard that revving the engine to higher rpm at the morning first ride will affect the engine..

                Also my bike suspensions are stiffer( I rode a unicorn its smooth when compared to my bike)..Is it so for u guys?

                Help me??..

                  @ vinais- congos for ur new bike.....and yeah for the Cross too...

                  Just run-in the baby well and enjoy the ride for a long time...
                  cheers...


                  @ kain- you can use the 15W40...No problem....

                  Warm up the bike nicely in the morning before ripping it completely.....
                  If you rev the bike even in evening without proper warming it will affect the engine....
                  the time of day is not important here....

                      .
                      stick to the manufacturer recommended oil..it will your engine best...
                      .
                      warm up the engine by idling it every morning when you start it for the first time...idle it for atleast 1minute and ride the bike slowly for the first half km...
