      hey guys , finally got a chance to take my bike out , went for a small 50km run to an fro , felt like the bike's power band takes some time to kick in , but wen it does , man , it was awesome , feels very sluggish till about 50 , from 50 in 5th gear it pulls like crazy ... i tested it out a lot , it really takes OFF after 50 , the throttle response is so much better after and sharper , dunno why the sudden change happened compared to earlier where the power delivery was almost immediate . , not that i'm complaining

          Has anyone from Mumbai changed the headlight and installed a HID on their FZ? Would like to see the effects IRL and get a headsup on the place where it could be done.

          Thanks!

                Looks are subjective but in case of my requirement its second in priority. I have to travel quite a bit late at night and find the headlight to be sorely lacking, especially in areas where roads are not that good and the lighting poor (Eg. Jogeshwari Vikhroli Link road around LnT and also the back roads around Mindspace). HID seems to be the best option or would just changing to a better bulb work?

                  looks are subjective besides my intention for this mod isn't for looks,HID+projector=...well you have to experience it yourself.

                      nope , bike's bone stock , thats why i was wondering . the exhaust note sounds different , it used to be very silent at 60+ now it's like a bass growl . i'm liking this a lot better actually

                      @Sydney C : i agree with you , the looks of that HID setup aren't great , but again like mentioned above looks are subjective .

                      But i've found the stock headlight quite okay , i've done a few night runs while coming back from mysore , and certain stretches of the road don't have streetlights , i have had no difficulty of any sort with my lights compared to the oncoming ones . just out of curiosity , these better bulbs like philips x-treme vision and osram nightbreaker , are these a direct fit on the FZ ? and what's the wattage of it , 35w or 55w ?

                        Yeah the Osram NB or Philips can be directly fitted into the bike. The wattage is 55W.

                            No it hasn't affected my battery till now and many FZians on xBHP have used it without any complaints

High rev shifting, using little or no clutch while shifting, etc. Now, my gear box is very stiff, and every time i hear a "chuck" while i shift. My friend also came across this problem at 12,000 kms. Any suggestions?
                              I think the gear spring (i dont know the exact term) would have gone. Costs may be 10-20 rs.

                              Also, when did you change the Oil?? The Engine is oil is also used to lubricate the gears. High revving would have degraded the quality of the oil. You can try that also.

                                hi guys

                                today i took my fz for 2nd free service. I didn't changed the oil because just replaced few days ago.

                                the guy only cleaned the air filter, Check the brakes and on asking for increase in mileage he adjusted the mileage thats aaalll he did. Should there be anything else work to be done on fz.

                                There were no problems i was facing on my fz.
