I think I'll go for a mini-checkup and ask them the reason for the top end performance hit. I don't want them to do any changes in the carb. Let's see what they come up with.

explain to them ur problems if these guys are good then like a doctor they can find the illness from the symptoms....else...errr....lets not look at that perspective now....

Maybe or maybe not....will also depend on how light it will be.....
coz the MRF radial is said to be on the lighter side for its size and profile....

2 queries which I have noticed this week.
The tyre in the front wheel seems to be rapidly losing air. I filled it to the full on 15th and after 12 days there has been a decrease of around 5 units. Does it mean that there is puncture?
Secondly, I observed that the chain is being grinded against the rim. Is it normal or does it mean that the chain is lose. Can I do anything about this? I don't feel like going to the svc for this and they are sure to mess up.

after 10 days there is normally a drop in air pressure...also the time of the day when u fill the air matters...cause if u fill air when it is hot at night u will experience a drop in pressure due to lower pressure and the air in the tyre contracts...still get a quick check by looking at the tyre and see if u find any foreign particles sticking to it...

please elaborate on the second query...the chain is grinding against the rear tyre rim? it might be too loose...u can remove a chink out of the chain and get it tightened from any local shop....

SVC guys though a**h***s that they are, know the bike better than any local mech...(my experience.) so keep the safe in their hands ...plus if they screw up you get work done for free...if the local mech screws up u can hardly hold him responsible...

As far as FZ's tyre is concerned you must check the air between one or one & half week... and fill the rear tyre with 36psi and front with 28psi itself...
this was told by MRF people... otherwise the side portion will get more wear than the middle portion...

Rear tyre's pressure 36 psi?? This is the first time I'm hearing from any official like MRF or Yami guys

Well I'll also try out from next time to see if any change is visible

My FZ jus completed the 20k and at the early stages i didn't check the air pressure that often and when i met a problem that my front tyre air pressure decrease in 2-3 days... when i visited the MRF service center last month they told there is side leak for the front and i had now put a tube in the front tyre... also my rear tyre has got uneven wears(mainly at the right side)... they told me tubeless tyre pressure must be checked regularly(in 1 week)... you must fill 36psi at the rear so that the center portion of the tyre will get more contact on the roads, otherwise your side portion get to run out...

i found the 36psi of no probs... anyways you guys try out and tell... don't say that 36psi will blast the tyre etc. it will cause nothing...

Go for Iridium IX buddy...

I am currently using the NGK G-Power, don't find any difference in power, but the fuel efficiency has been increased to 2-4 km/ltr...
NGK has recently launched their Iridium IX and i am definitely going to buy that one... u can surely count on the mileage... with Iridium IX i think atleast 3-5 km/ltr will increase...

10L fuel

I have absolutely no qualms with the default parts. The bike's awesome as it is... The seat cover (for long distance touring) and crash guard are the only essentials IMHO.
