Hi !!
guys can we widen the rear seat without spoiling the looks ??
and hav heard that new fz have a better mileage than old one ?? it is true or just a rumour............

help me guys i m planning to buy a new bike......

widen the rear ....dont think its possible without some serious mods....as for the rumour bout the new fz ...u will know it wen we know it...

Yes i also heard about it.It was expected to launch somewhere near Jan 15(thats tomorrow).Fingers crossed

i would like to correct my previous post. If anyone wants a kick arrangement for the FZ, its around 2-2.5k for the entire assembly.

When My bike was 8000kms old i happened to mess up the tuning as i wanted to learn how to do it.
Followed zilions of threads only thing i could understand is that tightening makes leaner... well I am into the industry so i have a basic knowlege so i wanted to try my hand at it.
when i was tuning i tried to get that stable rpm thing and smooth revving thing... but every time there was something upsetting it, sometimes bad fuel, bad engine oil, bad this that ... so it used to feel ok till i refill or do service...
but finally at around 16500k mark i did what has as far felt the best...

I went on a highway for a regular drive... made the engine slightly lean, started revving and counting the time from 0-60... and then making the bike slightly richer by 2 turns a step then 1 turn a step then half a turn a step till i got the best time. Now my bikes pickup is amazing, engine has no starting problem but is 80% stable idling but the bike feels amazing.
and doing the maths right i zeroed in on a setting that was the quickest.


Buy woodlands... they can surely bear it... mine i can clean the spot fairly easily using wet cloth.

ya sure they are illegal or otherwise saying any mods to your bike other than stickers are illegal. But esp. the bulbs are illegal... even driving in city with high beam is illegal and can attract a fine of upto Rs 100 (legally); but ya we are indians no laws of nature or constitution can govern us... as we don't know them.

wat kind of modification ?? can u plz explain in details sir

firstly dude...all of us here are frnds ...so chill with the sir....

the changes would include the widening of the rear or extension of the chasis...not sure..havent thought bout it...dont even fully kno if it can be done....ask in the mods thread is wat i would suggest....cheers....

widening the rear seat? i guess that would require a wider framework and that would involve bending the rear framework of the bike , making it that much more prone to failure and also really mess up the dynamics of the bike , handling will take a hit ... also weight distribution has to be taken into effect , the chassis may not take the extra weight ... all in all , i would suggest not to go with the mod ... jus my opinion .

or you mean jus adding some extra padding to either side of the seat to make it wider , which i'm thinking you do , then yeah the looks will get ruined .

Guy's

I want to know if i change ma rear bike sprocket on ma Fzs will i feel a difference in the bike....Cause i was planning on doing it...I heard that i can mount the R15 sprocket onto ma bike with out any problem's...

NEED HELP

Hi,

Certainly you can change the rear sprocket of FZ with that of R15. I've asked the same question to my SVC manager who is very much experienced in all these. He said that after the change, the bike's pickup and top speed will be affected. I think FZ's rear sprocket has 39 teeth and R15's 42 (Correct me if I'm wrong). So if I put R15's sprocket in FZ, then pickup won't be that great, but yes the top speed will be churning more. Again in the same way, if I change the sprocket to something less than 39 teeth, then the initial pickup will be more but wil have to compromise on top speed.

No need to say that the average will also be affected in both the scenarios. The SVC guy said thats why Yamaha has installed 39 teeth sprocket in FZ so as to equilize both performance (initial pickup) and top end speed.

check on pages 357 and 358 , this has already been done and the effects , both advantages and disadvantages mentioned .well here's the link . http://www.xbhp.com/talkies/motorcyc...-16-a-358.html

You've got in wrong. It's actually the other way around.

Smaller rear sprocket = More top speed (potentially), less acceleration (definitely)

Larger rear sprocket = More acceleration (definitely), lower top speed (potentially)

The FZ has a 14 teeth drive sprocket and a 40 teeth rear driven sprocket.

Hey thanks for correcting. I may have got confused

hey going by your definition , the FZ16 has a smaller rear sprocket than the R15 right ? 40 teeth to 42 , but the smaller sprocket in the FZ gives more initial acceleration and lower top speed when compared to the 42teeth sprocket of the R15 which lags a bit initially and as we know , then comes into it's own after 6k RPM . ( read greater top end ) , this now , directly contradicts what you've said ... NOW i'm confused .

The R15 doesn't have the top end performance only because of the sprocket! There are MANY other factors that go into it. In other words, the engines of the FZ&R15 are both 150cc, but the similarity ends at that. They are built completely differently&hence the different power&torque characteristics too.
