          ok firstly make sure if its the brake pedal or the leg support behind it which is bent(i dono the exact term..) and secondly get the exhaust cover repainted dont get a new one its not worth it.. (experience) and moreover you could get it repainted in black or something (if you want to that is)..

          if you still insist on changing the cover it will cost you around 250 but repainting it will cost you 150 max..

          • @umesh- if the head is damaged only, you can take it to the service station. They will install a new element cover bolt.

              also use bungee nets and cords for other luggage on the back of the bike(i dont think a tank bag will be enuf to take care of ur luggage) but using the same precautions as earlier....

              Hi Guys..I went to Nana Peth in pune to search tank bags..but was not able to find any...Also looked at Probiker showroom. He was having one but tht was magnetic one...I think i have to do some jugaad..I dont think thr is any tank bag made for FAZER..Any pointers for anti scratch material. i am thikning to cover my tank with that and then can tie bag over that..Any pointers for same...One thing tht is coming to my mind is YOGA MAT..pls provide suggestions...

                  mine is 1.5k in the odo and was done with the first service 2 weeks back... but now see the chain and the front disc in rust...

                  now guys let me know what should i do, becoz in the service they have done chain lubrication also and the service guy said nothing will happen even if the bike is waterwashed.

                      The service station people are right about the chain as long as you don't use a pressure washer directly on the chain. If you do see any signs of rust on the chain, it means that it is dry and needs to be cleaned and lubricated.

                      The front brake disc is stainless steel and will not rust. What you may be seeing is dust from the brake pads. You can easily clean this with soap and water. Use a soft paint brush if required.

                          Am about to store away my bike for > 2 Months.. Any precautions that I should take...

                          Also planning to empty the petrol tank and not leaving any petrol in the carburetor as well... Is that Fine ?? or should I keep the petrol.. ??

                          Also.. How do I remove the side panel and Unplug the battery connections.. ??

                          Comment


                          • remove all petrol from the tank...unplug the battery as shown in the manual...store the bike in a dry place so that it does not get wet due to morning dew...oil the uncovered metal if u can so as to prevent rust...

                            if u can ...just give ur bike to a responsible frnd who can take care of it for the interval...that wud be much better....

                            • ^^ on the contrary , while storing i've read right here on xbhp that it is advisable to fill the tank up before storing , to prevent it from rusting . And too also few drops of engine oil through the spark plug hole and turn the engine over , so that it remains well lubricated... but i'm not sure if it is necessary for a two month storage interval ...

                                The manual gives instructions on long term storage on pages 7-6 & 7-7. Just follow them.
