Guys.. today I & ma frnd were riding on our own FZ.. We both hav converted our headlight to a bright white halogens & he had his lights on & mine were off.. At a signal traffic cops caught him for d lights. After a lot of arguements & threatening to confiscate my frnd's license, we convinced him with 100 bucks & got out of d mess, but both of us changed our lights 2 stock bulbs again.. So jus wantd 2 ask u all, is it really a problem in all d cities or is it just mumbai??

Where can i get those blind rods,..for the angel eyes,...& can we use any other stuff apart frm car's projector headlamps...for this mod....like "slide projector's lens" or something similar...

**RanjithMN** · 12-15-2009, 12:18 AM

Its a Serious post. I mean I'm a one-year old biker, till date I have not changed my bulbs of added LEDs or something. Is it seriously a Issue in Mumbai-Pune ?

I plan to fit LEDs in this week itself, on the side wings and above headlight of my FZ. Would it be okay ?

Running in running me down!!

Hi all,

Its been almost 4 weeks since I got my FZ and now have about 350KM done on it cos was busy with my bro's wedding and office stuff. Wasnt minding the 4500 RPM/55 KMPH limit since earlier was mostly moving in traffic. Now have started to make some runs on the EE Highway and am getting really pissed when Bajaj Chetak's start overtaking me

Just got the manual today and was browsing through it when I read in the running in section "Do not take the engine over 4500 RPM over prolonged periods " That was all the justifiation that I needed and hit a couple of short bursts touching 80 and coming back. Man that was a rush that left me smiling for hours afterwards.. cant wait for 100...

Now am feelin a bit guilty n concerned, but one of my friends who's also a mechanic assured me that short bursts are ok once in a while. Just wanted to know about the running in experiences of others on the board and if you guys have any tips to make the running in period a bit less frustrating/shorter.

Cheers!
Vinay

Its completely against d law as per d cops (my frnd argued wit d traffic cops 2 show that particular law in the traffic rules but d cops straight away confiscated his license & asked 2 meet directly in court). We knew that d cops were just overpowering us & they knew v dont hav any other option but bribe them so they continued dominatiing us until v had 2 give up. It looked lik those guys were specifically looking out 4 white LED's in d traffic. But still if u wanna use them, u can. bt make sure 2 switch them off at signals & areas where there is high probability of cops.

Hey Vinay. I too did short bursts to 60-65 in 1st 500 and then 80+ in 500-1000. The engine is absolutely fine. Nothing to worry. Gears felt notchy in 1st and 2nd then. But now its getting better.
