      @ayushkant

      Hey Can you just let me know what changes I can expect in Mileage and Performance of Bike if I switch to NGK-Iridium on my FZ S??

      @all FZ S Owners

      Also is there any way to improve the stock head light to something better and brighter??

      Thanks,

                  Sure, I bought the fz based on its looks and riding comfort and low weight, rather than for performance, anyway I don't like much ripping except in urgent situations

                  Also since I am a student, the pocket money allotted to me requires atleast a mileage of 50!! Anyway i believe in safe riding and risk free

                    riding at high speeds is risky only if cant control ur vehicle...it depends on the riders ability not the speed.....

                    • Is limited edition FZ's tank panel available??? I would like to convert mine to pearlescent white. Whole job was estimated at 5k with Corolla's original paint and excellent finishing with clear coat. Is it worth investing 5k for paining or should I go for LE tanks if it is available????

                        The tank pads would be available but the svc would have to obtain them from main offices. The side panels can be changed for around Rs.800. You then need to spray paint the centre panel or do a white painting job yourself.
                        5k would be too costly.

                            You mean the visor? I fixed it into my FZ16. The visor itself costs around Rs120. The total bill after fixing it came around Rs410

                                I had enquired at the dealership. The full conversion to FZS includes the visor, its brackets, the number plate brackets, the "forehead" of the headlamp and the "cheeks" of the headlamp. The total cost comes up to 1.5k. Not worth it, IMO.
