    {Double checked - stopped it. and the wheel started spinning on its own even when clutch is completely pressed}. Pls help.

    No other complaints... I get around 43kmpl and clocked 725 kms and due 1st service in 4 days.
    i m not an expert but it may be due to two reasons

    1st is ur accelerator screw that is in the left side of the engine it may be tightened too much

    2nd is the clutch wire that again may be tightened too much

    see that and accc loose to get the best out of it wat i have learned that accelerator screw is like for when you start the engine and halt it without stopping the engine u dont have to accelerate and the engine wont turn off that way but both of em should be done at the right point acc to me it may affect your mileage...

      even after using speed the pinging still persists on my fz though it is very low .
      i will take it to ss and find out more.
      wat is pinging ?

      ok got it already posted # 502

      i think misfiring is not the correct term or you r reffering to some other thing, it is called detonation
      Knocking (also called knock, detonation or spark knock, pinking in UK English or pinging in US English) in spark-ignition internal combustion engines occurs when combustion of the air/fuel mixture in the cylinder starts off correctly in response to ignition by the spark plug, but one or more pockets of air/fuel mixture explode outside the envelope of the normal combustion front. The fuel-air charge is meant to be ignited by the spark plug only, and at a precise time in the piston's stroke cycle. The peak of the combustion process no longer occurs at the optimum moment for the four-stroke cycle. The shock wave creates the characteristic metallic "pinging" sound, and cylinder pressure increases dramatically. Effects of engine knocking range from inconsequential to completely destructive. It should not be confused with pre-ignition (or preignition), as they are two separate events.

        So, its not normal... I will ask the service centre guys rather than meddling with those screws myself. Anyway going for 1st service in 3 days and my mileage is satisfactory...
        problems to tell them in 2st service
        1. Seat wobbles, not a snug fit. Pls do something!
        2. Full clutch- still the rear wheel spins (above prob)
        3. Funny sound from silencer after stopping the bike. (yeah, the ping/ting like sound at around 1/sec frequency)
        4. Lower the headlight beam.

        anymore?

          I am not too sure that how many of us has this problem, but surely some 1 did discussed that on this thread -

          Its about a little increase in vibrations at 60-75 mark. After 75, the vibrations are almost gone, but theres huge increse in the sound level.

          Also i would like to know if any one of us using 'Yamalube' lubricant for lubricating Chain? If yes, what is the frequency?

            Been to a newly opened yamaha showroom... the guy showed me a book printed with "on order only" accessories, those goldplated levers, mesh seat cover, glowing yamaha logo etc with details on how to fit those. Its a complete book and not just a pamplet. He received it just yesterday and had no idea about the prices.
            May be in a week or two they will be available. I am all excited...

                Now, I am trying to do the same thing with maintaining speed from 70-80 KMPH.
                Fuel : 5L Power to Reserve
                Speed tried to Maintain : 70-85 KMPH
                KMs run : 179.1 KMs
                Mileage comes out to be -> 35.82 KMPL

                  Quite less. So at a highway, you will not get a good mileage if you maintain 80?

                    Majority of my driving is at Pune Highway, so with passage of time ive observed something -

                    1) If i keep the bike on average 60 or less, it gives average of about 45+-2. (ive serviced my bike once and its been 2.5 months).

                    2) If i run it at about 70 or just over, its giving me little over 35..

                    I know this its a huge difference, but this is what my general observation had been..

                          probably this is one bike whose highway figures are far less than city mileage figures... me too, on highway at above 65kmph mine gives around 37kmpl. In city at <50kmph it gives 44kmpl.
