Our dealers do not keep the saree guard when they sell the bike.. may be becuse it spoils the look and its not cmpulsory here in SL. still they give it seperately.. -
When my bike toppled from a stand still position, the handlebar bent and the SVC guy had a look at the forks as well.. Total damage for me - 800 bux. No idea about silencer cover (the metal and the plastic part)Originally posted by Jaghanivasan View PostHello,
I met with an accident yesterday and my FZ got considerable damage. The handlebar is bent, got bad scratches on my silencer and a small scratch on my right side tank, the throttle holder and headlight. And the side mirror is broken.
I am planning to change my silencer cover (both plastic and the metal cover), take the bend in the handlebar, change my side mirror and the throttle holder.
What will be the approximate cost for doing this? And is there any way to hide the scratch on the tank?
My dealer is very costly and he doesn't give a proper bill for that too. Please suggest a good place for my bike to get serviced.

Q: What volume of engine oil will be required for an oil change on FZ-16?Last edited by s_and_m; 05-18-2010, 02:40 AM.Comment

Lol! I guess Baby Beast had enuff and just ejected the Saree guard out!

The cost for plastic part of the silencer is 250 bucks. THe side mirror too costs 250. and to hide the scratches on the tank either go for sticker work or black taping or ata last if its dosnt works den change the panel.Comment

The scratches aren't deep but the SVC guy is advising to go for a sticker.Originally posted by yazir94 View PostDude here in SL the silencer covers (both) nearly costs around 3000Rs. (2.5x In india i guess).. so its better u go for a paint job or give it a Chrome coating which will cost u around 750 IndRS...well thats my idea for the silencer.. no idea about the handle bar
..
Today, I asked the SVC guy, He said that the metal part costs 350Rs and the plastic part costs 500.
For the tank try "supercut"if the scratches are not that deep. or cover it up with a custom sticker!!
My friend had the same problem, they charged 1000 bucks. I think the handlebar and fork are too weak. But, in my case, the bike goes well in a straight line if I leave the handlebar freely while driving. I fear only my handlebar is bent. And I am not sure about the quantity. They charged 220Rs in my previous service.Originally posted by s_and_m View Post
Thanks for the info brother. I have to fix it up this week. But, it would be better if I do it somewhere and not in my showroom.Originally posted by speedyk View Post

I'm a very happy guy today , you know why ? coz there's absolutely nothing wrong with my bike after it tipped off the side stand ... I had mentioned about a sort of bolt rumbling in tin can type of noise , right ? figured what that was ... the swingarm end cap was loose , which i couldn't make out at standstill and couldn't look while riding , so i asked a friend to ride it n rode behind him , wen i saw the end cap wobbling away to glory .... tightened that and bike's good ... sheesh , a small thing and i didn't figure it out so long ...

Yesterday changed my roommates FZ's rear tyre from MRF showroom which has done 29K+
want to change mine too which is 25K, the rate has been increased from 2500Rs/- to 2750Rs/-
. they told me the company has priced it to 2850, but they are giving for 2750, the price has been increased 4 times in a couple of months period.
I met a guy who came to change his FZ rear tyre there and he opted a 140/70(tube) tyre for his FZ... the tyre looked huge when compared to the stock. but while putting it will cause the top end to decrease, so i went for the stock.

I have to change mine rear tyre too but don't know the exact distance after which I should go for it. Till now stock tyre has been there for 23k. Should I go for the change now? It has not dreaded away but it slips once or twice while cornering on a wet surface...Last edited by ayushkant; 05-19-2010, 06:30 PM.Stabl'ised by: BlackCat (FZ-16), BlackBird (ThunderBird)

Mine is 25K+, Hmmm if you ask me the condition of my tyre its almost worn out, so as of yours which is 23K will be almost similar to mineOriginally posted by ayushkant View Post
...
now i found a good solution for cornering...
i just stopped cornering(that's the solution) or else get a new one... jus kidding... i am only changing my tyre after a couple of kms... i think a properly maintained tyre will last almost upto 28-30K for sure... my friends tyre was a real comedy... the threads almost came out... horrible condition...
ride it for atleast a couple of kms or if you are not feeling good then change to new...

Well I think I'll go for the change on 25K. I think I should change the tyre before monsoon hits Pune. Also, I'll have to replace Air Filter, Clutch Plates, Spark Plug, etc at 25K. Guess, it'll be a long expense list
Also for all, I was informed by my SVC guy that a sealant for FZ tyre comes for 650/- which seals itself to the inner side of the tyre and the tyre won't give a problem no matter how many punctures/nails gets in. Will go for it for my new tyre
