    One more puncture was found and service people have fixed that, have to check if everything is fine now. Maybe i should go for mushroom puncture as suggested by many.

      • Hey guys if our bike is not giving good performance then say fo tO yamaha service center guys they must be cheating on ya.... I recently got my bike serviced locally and changed oil to castrol gt i must say there is a strong Change in perfomance and mileage figures too .. Get your bike serviced infront of your eyes in svc or locally but make them do it infront of you

              Mushroom puncture is expensive, each puncture costs about 300 bucks. Instead you can put a fluid inside the tyre of the FZ. it just costs 250 bucks and doesnt bother you at all. Even if there is a nail pierced inside, there wont be a major air loss, infact you wont even know that there is a puncture. Pull the nail off and keep riding.

              The fluid costs 250 bucks per tyre, it similiar to fluid in tuff up tube in Honda Unicorn. Sai and Iyengar in Indiranagar has this fluid.

                • A tubeless tyre repair kit is available at most tyre shops and spare parts shops for about Rs. 250. See the following link for a DIY repair method.

                  • Was waiting desperately to join the group...

                    First of all, thank you all of you for your valuable comments and feedback...

                    I was doubtful whether to go for FZ or not.. But after reading this thread I confidently bought the bike and I am now falling in love with it...

                    i have a little confusion.. I bought it 2 days back and the ODO is about 90 Kms....
                    For the first 500 Kms should I have to just care about the rpm limit or should I also restrict my speed to 50 kmph... I mean to say... will it be fine if I drive @ 60Kmph with the rpm below 4500???

                      firstly congrats on the new purchase ...
                      for the first 500kms keep it below 4000 rpm...then after that till 1000kms keep it below 5000 rpm...rev freely between gears....change the oil at 1000kms or first service and all will be fine...

                      njoi the bike and ride safe....

                        • Hey guys I have a question.. can I make the engine sound much more fiercer like the 220??

                          I just want the engine sound to be more.. I don't performance boost etc just engine sound can this be done via applying some hidden amplifier etc..
