    I am a bit confused. the official ngk site does not list an IRIDIUM IX for the fz 16..... i am not sure we should be using the IX on fz 16.
    Hey,

    I also was a bit worried when I was searching for the answers. I checked it up in few major stores, including DSG, Castrol Bike Zone and others. They all said one thing- NGK site takes a lot of time to update. Its not done on a regular basis. I went ahead and bought one and haven't regretted it once till now. Its amazing power that comes in that package. A must buy...

        Just to settle this long standing NGK iridium dispute onceandforall, I'm gonna move my lazy butt and call up their distribution networks in Bangy and find out tomm. Will update with my findings.

            secondly i dont normally rev the bike much in 3rd and 4th gear but reach 70+ on the 3rd and 90 odd on the 4th when i really rev it...maybe the bike is need of a service?? wen was the last time u got it serviced?? also maybe that the plug has got carbon ... a little cleanin the part of contact will maybe help...
            i got my bike tuned to a richer mix,the SVC said it was tuned lean.the response is very good now,i hope my mileage doesn't go below 35....

              Yup....if you dont tell them otherwise...they will tune it to a leaner mixture....
              coz most of the FZ owners complain about mileage....except some guys like us...
              So lets see how much do you get now....

                  I completed my 3rd free service 2 weeks back and asked them to tune the bike a bit toward mileage. The first mileage I got after servicing was 52kmpl! That too in the city by zipping on 50-60km/hr.

                  At some points I do feel a lagging of some sorts but overall I am satisfied with the pickup. Hence I advice all fz owners to detune ur bike a bit and watch the mileage change. I think its possible to get a mileage of 40-45 even at speeds of 60-70 at city.
                  Anyway 30-35 may be normal for fazer, but for the fz, which is the lightest 150cc bike, its is bad.

                  I know most of you fz dudes won't care abt mileage but let's do our bit to save the mileage and our purse.
                  Reduce 1 km/hr speed, add 1second 2 ur life.

                    frankly speaking,riding a detuned FZ is dumb! buy a 150cc for 72k and struggle to overtake?id rather buy a RTR180!

                      It will be really BS to detune the bike... if you wan't descent mileage go for an Iridium IX spark plug buddy... if i wanted a 150cc bike with good mileage and descent power i would have bought the unicorn... the ride feel of FZ is in its torque and the butter smooth ride of 75-80 kmhr cruising speed...

                        ^^ +1 ....we buy the fz for its raw torque ...not to be conservative ....otherwise just stick to a platina or a cd100ss or the new discover...India ki khoj 1 litre petrol mein....lolz

                          yeah i guess a tuning tht will give you a mileage of 35 when ripped is the best balance of power and torque.

                          when my FZ was tuned for mileage ,i had gone for a ride with another FZ...he was out of my sight mostly because i could never over take trucks....i will be parallel to them for long! and i ride regularly with my friend(r15)..he doesn't rip much and recently after a short ride he asked me "is anuthing wrong with your bike?" i told him "yeah its detuned! " he was like "oh i was wondering why you were lagging behind"

                            Thats exactly the reason why i didn't sell off my unicorn. Riding the FZ is like taming a Torque Monster,its awesome above 70kph. On the other hand,you can almost do anything to the unicorn and it will still make your pocket happy(i fixed k&n with zma jets and it still gives mileage above 45kpl!!)

                              Thats what they did exactly to mine in the 3rd service.....they fu-ed it up so nicely that now it neither gives above 35kmpl and nor does it have the earlier pick up...
                              and the best part is they dont know whats wrong with it....
                              i think there's some mystery to this 3rd service....most of them got screwed at that instance....wonder what it is???

                                even im worried now...either i may get really crap mileage in rich tuning or crap power on lean mix...
                                idiots had to mess with it!im praying i get around 35...
