5th service done

I got my bike serviced on monday with complaints about the gear shift and mileage. The gear shift seems to have improved a bit but it's still not as good as it was before the previous service. The tuning has been changed and the throttle response and acceleration have suffered. I have to test for mileage today.

Hey Galaxtus, Any idea where the mushroom puncture is done in Bangalore? And regarding its efficiency?? I had one puncture prior to my 1st service. Got it repaired. But now i'm facing some weird pressure drops, especially when i travel on bad roads. Got to get it checked.

Thanks in advance.

I did my puncture on Old Madras Road, Opp RTO office near petrol bunk. I am not facing any problem till date. I did do a back to back 390+350 kms=740 kms to Trichy. I got only 35km/l mileage. I did rip it though above 100 speed. Believe it or not I covered 170+ kms in 2 hrs

while coming back. FZ is really AWESOME

My fz beast is on a downhill. I have recorded the lowest ever mileage of 33kmpl on my bike ( instead of the normal 45-48kmpl ). The problem is that I don't know whats the reason. The speed is normally 50-55km/hr with no rash driving.
The only reason I can think is of my chain is very tight. Apart from that there is no reason. Whats the solution to my problem. Please do reply

The SVC guys detuned your FZ completely.....i think they simply turn the A/F screw to lean......
thats it....they dont TUNE it in the real sense....same thing has been done to my bike....now am thinking of doing the tuning myself....
just not getting time from work.....do let me know the mileage though

cheers.......

It's not the idle mixture screw that they adjust. It has little effect on the overall performance of the engine. I think it's actually the neddle jet position that they have adjusted.

Guys i have ordered the NGK Iridium IX Spark plug online from PlanetDSG... will get within a week's time... hope it will give better performance and mileage... what say guys?

no such problem till now... but one thing is you should not change the figure after w i.e fz runs on 20w40... so the options u should go for are 15w40 or 10w40 and not 15w50.... and when you visit a center for valvoline they will always say its very good....

thanks bro

semi sythetic or fully synthetic????

i have no idea about the differences wich arise in semi synth or fully synth....

btw the overheating you were talking about how can one actually know that the vehicle is overheating???

because from the past week my bike after around 8-10 kms starts smelling like something is burning in the engine.... is this because of the overheating??

dunno but ur problem sounds similar to mine
heating up very fast.
i measured the engine oil temperature after ridin 10kms at iym service centre and it read 87degree and he showed a book in which idle rpm engine oil temperature is 75-85degree so it might be normal

I prefer MOTUL!
yes there are three types of oils..Mineral,Semi Synthetic and Synthetic.
a simple google search will explain it to you but basically the more synthetic the better

but semi synthetic is enough for our bikes.you will overall have a smoother engine and gear shifts.

I am using Agip syntetico on my baby beast and am very happy with the performance. There is a noticeable increase in the overall smootheness of the bike. And there is a slight increase in mileage as well. Any other xbhpians using Agip please share your expeirences.
