I thought over for months about doing something to the performance as well as looks, of my FZ16 std, and since my patience was beginning to wither, i went to the nearest Proton performance parts store. The engineer there asked me of what i most need....well, i said i don't quite like the bike's TOP END performance ....so he fitted a free flow air filter, and jetted the carb with main jet from the Pulsar 200, the result was that not only my bike is quicker through the gears, it has better top end too.
But since i still wasnt satisfied by the way she looked, i took her to the body shop and gave her a paintjob,....a complete makeover, and now, my dream FZ is parked right in my room....damn,,, m so happy!

ooye people!! just found somthing wen i searched for perf xhaust for fz
Wheeli Junkie is this the PROTON perf (or some branch of this)that you got your fz done from?

Nice work there. Could you post a pic of the bike from the right? I want to see how the exhaust looks. Also, would like to know the change in performance.

Guys yesterday it was raining I took my bike to get some feel.. when I was back the bike was loaded with dirt.. now When I am running my bike it smells like something is burning like my engine.. what might be the problem

Once there was a piece of polythene stuck to the underside of the exhaust - the part that starts from the engine and makes its way to the cat-con. That was getting heated and was getting burnt giving off a weird smell. The polythene had melted and I had a layer of that crap stuck to the exhaust. It finally burnt off entirely in a few days time and the smell was gone. You can just check if something similar is going on before going to work the problem.

guys is there any one who has fixed angel eye on fazer

Yes bro, it's from proton,theres a branch in lucknow, i have juiced my bike from there only...
PS: the filter cost me 1600+200 installation charges and jetting costed me 400rs, the free flow from proton for FZ cost around 3000 rs...

The mid range and top end have increased significantly, and the bike has a higher rev limit now, plus she does a genuine 120Kph on the speedo (havnt tried more than that, ran out of road)....all i can say that the bike feels much faster through the gears than before, and she eats stock FZs for breakfast!

Guys sorry for the OT , but can anyone tell me where i can find clear lacquer in bangalore ???, i've been looking to do some small paint work on the fz ...

Guys, i'm not sure whether this is the right place to post it... Or is there any thread where i can post this.

I've a new speedometer of Yamaha FZ (which i've used for a week and has an odo reading of 174kms on it) and i want to sell it.

The whole story is...
Recently i had met with a small accident on my bike and my speedometer assembly had come out.
The part (the plastic cover) which connects the console to the mounting surface was broken.
But after i gave it for servicing, they replaced my whole speedometer assembly saying that they cannot just get the cover of the console.
Whereas my speedometer unit was completely working fine. There was nothing wrong in the inside unit. I had done close to 14000 kms on that.
So i just took back the old unit from them and now fixed inside the new cover. Hence, i don't need the new speedometer.
The unit is new (used for a week) and just have 174 kms done on the odo of that. The original cost of that was Rs.2058/-

If anyone (fz owners) has any problem with your speedometer or it is damaged and planning to get it changed, i'm ready to sell it to you for a lesser price.
Please PM me or get in touch with me on +919886843041. I'm based in Bangalore. I can also courier it to you if you're from some other part of India.

Hey nand. Any hardware shop will be the place to go. If I remember correctly you also get your bike serviced at Pacer. So you must be quite close to Comm. St. Ismail Hardware shop at the end of the it, will be the place to find such stuff. If not ask the guys there they'll help you out.

see this link from Xbhp... post no #172

thnkzz for that link dude.

Yes i do get my bike serviced from pacer and well i reside about a couple of km from comm.st , will check out the hardware store u suggested , know of this place called balaji auto shop on ibrahim sahib street ? he does sell spray paint cans , but i wonder if he does have clear lacquer .

he once told me that the motul FS lasts for 8000 kms ... is that possible ???

Good to hear that brother.

It would be great if you could post some pics of the mods - specially the custom exhaust.

Could you also let us know the overall cost incurred (a part by part breakdown would be good).

How about the power at the lower levels? is it still the same or has dropped?

Also, have you replaced the stock spark plug too? What all parts were replaced?

Many thanks for patiently answering these queries.
