gearing doesn't cause much of an issue if done upto a certain extent...and moreover its not advisable to do it in the intial ages of the bike.
dude i was not comparing the bikes in any way...i kno the difference between the two....i was merely pointing out the fact that the engine cc is just one of the factors affecting the top speed of the bike and not the only factor....

My bike wears scratches mostly from dress and bag. I want to go for wax polishing. Can anyone please suggest which brand would be great and about the prices. I can spare upto 800-1000Rs. An everlasting effect would be great. have anyone tried applying wax coating?Reduce 1 km/hr speed, add 1second 2 ur life.Comment

Any idea how much it would cost to change both the sprockets.. If the modifications id too costly then I might as well consider your suggestion to continue current chainset & modify at a later stage when required.Originally posted by R-series View Postwell, in the early stages of your FZ..its performing quite well. Honestly..im not aware of the actual topspeed the bike is suppose to reach..but my guess is that on the meter it should be 120 or so (with 100% chance of me being wrong). without doing much...what you can opt for is smaller rear sprockets or slightly bigger front ones for better top end. heard of spark plugs aswell...but i've not personally experienced change in performance due to plugs...so I wouldn't comment on that.
On a personal note : I would suggest that since the ride is still new..better leave it running on stock chainset and experiment with gearing once they require change.
I know dude, 70-80 kmph is more then enough 4 me to ride in cities but when on freeways, I just cant tolerate below 100 when the roads are absolutely clear & free from traffic. Even while I was riding at 117 kmph, I had lots of empty stretch of the road & bike felt really stable so I felt like pushing it bit more but it was'nt possible at all after trying all the methods like crouching, gear shifts @ higher RPM's etc.Originally posted by Binoy View Post117 kmph is pretty good man... Last month we had done a TVM XBHP road trip through NH7 and i got a 122 kmph on the speedo... don't kow whether its a speedo error or not, but the previous which i clocked was 113 and the bike dosen't moved from that speed, after that i have changed the spark plug to G-Power, now i have got 122(not telling its because of the new spark plug)... and mind you FZ is not for top end speed, and for a non top end bike 117/122 is pretty good... actually i like to ride my bike 70-80 kph and when i touched 122(just to know how much it can max out) after that it doesn't move an inch... its the max out of max on my bike(may be a light rider can get a 123/124 also, and that's it)... i don't think it will more further i stock condition...
P.S I'm quiet a light rider dude, around 60 kgs..
Enough in city yaar, but bit uncomfortable below 100 on highways dude.. I mean I dont wanna race anyone, just want to enjoy the maximum speed I can.Originally posted by RanjithMN View Post
Can U or anyone else pls disclose some further info on what Sprocketing is all about?? I'v read on several threads & heard sprocketing really helps the acceleration initially but we hav to compromise the top speed.. Mu bike has just done 2000 kms so using Castrol Power1 semi synthetic so & it has been giving pretty good response so far. Dont wanna mess with air fuel mixture as far as possible coz I'm gettin decent mileage of 40 even after ripping so i intend to continue d same.Originally posted by Braveheart View Post
Dude, I was seriously considering K&N but after going thru the Air filters thread m lot worried to even consider K&N. However U can definitely throw some light on NGK iridium plugs.. There are no bad reviews abot them so far.Originally posted by Sydney C View PostI own a FZs which has done 120 with the bike filter after putting the K&N and the NGK iridium plug i have just done 128..And Very happy with ma baby...Comment

oops...my mistake...took it to a completely different directionOriginally posted by k2cool_87 View Postdude i was not comparing the bikes in any way...i kno the difference between the two....i was merely pointing out the fact that the engine cc is just one of the factors affecting the top speed of the bike and not the only factor....
you mention your budget is around 3-4K if i remember ...but this thing should be somewhere around 1000Rs (approx)Originally posted by mitz View Post
the front would be for less than 100, rear should be max upto 300-400 or so, and chain for 400-500 i suppose.Just because you haven't seen it doesnt mean its impossible...expect the unexpected.Comment

Yeah, thats wat d problem is.. I'v been hunting for mechanics in mumbai but found a very few who actually kno wat K&N is still wen i askd many of dem if they can do the upjetting, the answer was they dont kno wat I'm talking about.. Yamaha guys dont allow such modifications apparently so hav no choice but to install K&N from any unreliable mech who might actually mess it up. Anyways besides the meaty exhaust sound, any noticeable difference in throttle response??Originally posted by Sydney C View Post
Where in mumbai can I get this done dude?? I inquired bout the same at Yamaha outlet & the guy said this cant be done.. I asked him to use R15 sprocket but he said it wont fitOriginally posted by R-series View PostComment
