    Used it, Got performance. Thats what everyone tells about the iridium sparkplugs. I just passed on the info, which i think is correct. Do correct me if i'm wrong.
    It's not what you ride, it's your attitude that counts.

        • Hi guy's......I'm new to posting as I only came across this site in December.
          With regards tyre pressure's........ stick to what's in your manual.
          Yamaha state 28psi front 33psi rear. It's also stamped on the tyre by MRF
          In my experiance anything harder or softer won't give the correct contact patch, will wear unevenly and affect the handling.
          Hope this helps.

          • @All : guys...now that the topic going on is of the tyre pressure...i wanna ask you...
            dont know whether its a problem or not....but whenever i fill air in tyres...it stays for too long....
            i mean the pressure decreases only after a month or so....
            like if i fill 35psi in rear tyre on 10th then it comes to 32-33psi only on the next 10th....
            is this serious or am i wrong????

            If you are in the market to look out for dual horns......then the fazer horns are definitely worth the 400 bucks spent....
            I too am getting one of those......just that they are not available at the SVC
            right now......so m waiting.....
            Will notify you as soon as i get them....
            Or maybe you can tell me if u get them first...
            cheers....

              • The unreliability of the fuel guage is irritating to the extreme. Filled 2 ltrs a couple of days back and reset the trip guage to 0 as i usually do. Today morning the last bar starts blinking after only 45 K. I thought was duped by the petrol pump guy and giving him all sorts of abuses in my mind. 2 signals later it stops blinking, next signal - 2 bars!!

                I dont know why yammy left this one spot in a otherwise awesome machine.. The only place this fuel meter would be any more useless would be on a cycle!

                  dude..when u leave the bike on the side stand the fuel there is no contact of the fuel on the sensor due to the gravity moving the liquid within the tank...so that is why the guage gives a faulty reading sometimes...

                    That I know, but my bike seems a bit special. The bar blinks after bein on the main stand overnight!

                      Mine is also a special piece like yours....but the other way round....
                      even after my bike hits the reserve(i mean turn the knob up)...the bar doesnt start blinking and still shows one bar.....
                      Now thats UNUSUAL......

                      • So do you guys keep the knob on Fuel and turn it up when bar blinks (or is it continuously at Reserve)?

                          i keep it at on and switch to reserve so that i know that after i switch i hve about 50kms of fuel on me....otherwise i wud lose track and end up without fuel in the middle of no where....

                            There is nothing wrong with it buddy... but the thing you must understand from this is that your tyres & alloys are now in good shape now... but i recommend to check your tyre pressure atleast once in two weeks(minimum)... coz when i bought my bike(which was at the release time), i asked the showroom & SVC guys how often we need to check the air... they told since its a tubeless one no maintenance is necessary...
                            the next words of mine would feel you WTF...
                            I first checked the air after 4 months of use... coz no body told me about... even in XBHP, there were very few FZ owners at that time...
                            even after 4 months i didn't feel there was less air... after that the probs started taking...

                            so i would recommend every one to check the air pressure regularly... MRF guys told me a regularly maintained rear tyre will easily do 25000-30000Kilometers...

                              unlucky you!
                              i think they learned their mistake since they told me to check EVERY week when i bought mine!

                                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...
