Fz is a DC bike remember. I have not faced any problem with battery. I am using this from past 2 months. I will try to post some pics of light colour.
          Now that you have already installed the Iridium supposedly for the FZ...
          Do keep a check on it....
          I had asked you about the battery coz the stock bulb is of 35W and
          you have installed a 55/60W bulb...right???
          So the drain will be more...isnt it????

          Yep...its utter waste of money in my opinion...no offence to others...
          As rightly said by JD...its just gonna be a drag on the bike...

                  Pacer Motors got rear disc

                  Those guys didnt have a simple thing like a crash guard... The sales person went upto the extent that there is no provision for it... Now they got rear discs...

                  Got to check it out. MY 2nd service is due this month end..

                  For the other query going on..

                  Acceleration: not checked it but its similar to what nand posted.
                  Top speed: 87 (yeah. Only used it in city so far...)
                  Mileage: 37 but i think its dropped off late.
                  Everyone falls down, doesn't matter...
                  But its how fast you get up, that matters.....

                            well the best way to fix is mushroom patch fix, this one is a temp fix....but its tough to find mushroom patch as its mostly done for cars, i was able to find one in bangalore.

                                tnx for letting me know....so how long does this type of fix last?
                                and should i immediately do the mushroom fix or wait till the current one gives up?

                                thank you
