update on tyre issue , SVC fixed the puncture with the regular strip but gave NO guarantee for it as they say the puncture length is too big ... he told me to take it to the place where they fix lorry tyre punctures and ask them to patch it from the inside ...
..
People ask me , why are you cribbing about the BHP ? to them I say "MORE is never ENOUGH" xbhp.com

The best idea is to leave the bike with a trusted friend and ask him to start the bike every day for 5 minutes and to ride occasionally .( be careful with occasional.
)
Or the first thing is to remove the battery connections. Try to fill the bike with minimum reserve of petrol. Get a nice tarp cover and cover the bike.
When you return first thing, give the bike for service.
Reduce 1 km/hr speed, add 1second 2 ur life.

so which one u prefer 100w or 55/60w?? does the 100w drain the battery??Originally posted by abhijeet080808 View Post60W is good enough compared to stock h/l. HID scatters light, and is harmful for opposing traffic. 100W is the best both for you and opposing traffic too!I'd rather be fast than invisible!!!!!

recommended yamaha service station???
:-)
hey people i am really disappointed with my previous servicing at the yamaha centre in ahmednagar city.
i request if someone may recommended a good service point in pune for my fzs. i have my 4th free servicing coming up in a week and could really use some good advice.
also if someone could share wat their experience has been after k&n filter and rejetting and where they got it done from for their fz. planing to get it done if the feedback is good. all the googling has been very sketchy in details!

dude its a good investment... though its slippery for the pillion rider and for long rides it may start to prick you if ur wearin something like addidas sweats or parachute material<not sure whether thts wat its called> ....Originally posted by vinchel View PostT
I also think the mesh seat cover is great but pricey at 1200rs. any other option for me?
but looks awesome and will keep ur butt and nuts coool... if not your head!

The k & n filter works great for performers like apache, karizma and pulsars but for fz, the results are mixed.
You can get a 20% increase in performance and with 10% increase in efficiency, from what I heard.
My friend fitted one on his fazer but he feels that there hasn't been much of a difference. The top speed is changed from 115 to 122km/hr. And there won't be any drastic change in pickup.
I suggest go for a proper tuning toward maximum power and it would be enough for any fz.Reduce 1 km/hr speed, add 1second 2 ur life.

Are you sure about those %ages vinchel.. Coz to me 20% inc in perf + 10% increase in FE is friggin worth it...Originally posted by vinchel View PostThe k & n filter works great for performers like apache, karizma and pulsars but for fz, the results are mixed.

The Fazer got a 7 km/hr increase from 115. Thats like 6%... That to me is worthless..Everyone falls down, doesn't matter...
But its how fast you get up, that matters.....

i really doubt Vinchel's claim...all ive seen so far is ppl regretting their choice for opting K&N(or any other aftermarket filters) and some using it only for the "sound".
and this is for all the Indian bikes,except ZMR of course.
but if there is any mech who can jet and tune it perfectly and attain even half of vinchels claim!....it will be awesome.Smoke rubber,not tobacco.
