        Don't shoot the messenger ppl , in our case vinchel , he jus sayin what he heard , i personally don't think the claims are true anyway , coz otherwise every fz16 woulda had it ... ,

        Is the switch to R15 rear sprockets worth it ? for better performance , albeit lower efficiency ?
        People ask me , why are you cribbing about the BHP ? to them I say "MORE is never ENOUGH" xbhp.com

              after upgrade to OSRAM NB

              Hi,

              I have recently replaced my stock headlamp bulb with OSRAM NB 60W. However, whenever i switch on the headlamp and try to use the horn, the horn sound is not so audible as it was earlier (when the bike is running). Do i have to install something more to handle the extra power being used by the bulb?

              Thanks for your suggestions.

                hmm..thts strange,even im using the OSRAM NB 55/60 with an aftermarket horn but i dont have this prob,my horns volume reduces by 10% ONLY when i horn AND beam together!

                how old is your bike?maybe your batt. is weak..get it checked.

                  Thanks for replying.

                  My bike is 1.25 years old now. I think so, the battery might be weak. On occasions even before i had the NB, the horn used to sound less. I will get it checked.

                  Also, do you know of any good maintenance free battery that can replace the stock one?

                  Many Thanks.

                    Rear Disc and iridium spark plugs.

                    Hello all,

                    I have a fazer and I am pretty happy with my choice , but there are some glitches I would like to address.

                    1. Can one fit a rear Disc break on the bike ? the current drum break does not look like it is up to the job, and the break balance is pretty much on the forwards side when the speed is 60+.

                    What will be the costs involved ? and can I get it done in del ?

                    2. I have heard a lot about iridium spark plugs and the performance increase offered. Do they really work ? what % of performance increase / FE increase are we looking at ? OR is it just a myth ?

                      To my experience, I will point out that every bike is manufactured and purchased for a reason.... I dont think if theres need to modify the Fazer... If performance is what u need then u should have gone for R 15.... coz once u begin modifying the bike, u will never be satisfied and will end up spoiling the bike....

                        yes it can be done...costs around 10k...ask jd666....his frnds have done it in delhi....

                        we have heard from ppl that they do increase FE or performance depending on which spark plug u go for....FE is reported to be 2-4kmpl more than average....

                            The battery may be fine. The horn may be a bit worn. Tighten the tuning screw behind it to adjust the sound. Tighten it by just a bit first and check. Do it with the engine running at around 2k RPM or more with the headlamp running if required.
