    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
    ya good ride it for a couple of kms and change... i heard of the solution from SVC, is it 650Rs? i heard its 250Rs/- don't remember exactly...

      The solution that you mention is quite well known on TV infomercials. Lot of hype but I've not found anybody who actually recommends it. It think it's a bad idea to use that sealant.

        With all due respect, I disagree... A simple research would reveal that anti-puncture sealants have been in use for many years in more developed countries. If you doubt the quality and performance of the sealants sold here in India - that makes two of us. To say all sealants are a hype is simply being ignorant of the technology involved.

              2000+ km means it has already crossed the run-in period of 1000 km. So I guess he did right to test the top speed of our FZ.

                there is absolutely no probs. in riding like that... varying speeds & RPM's slowly is necessary. never ride in the same speed or rpm all the time...

                  Hi guys,
                  Recently I'm facing some engine ignition issues. My bikes fails to start after a long ride n then 15-20mins of rest. Whereas it doesn't face any problem when the engine is cold!

                  Also a *beeeep* sound is coming (like R15 start-up) when the self start is pressed for long!

                  Have done 9,000+ kms..

                    I'm not ignorant of the technology and for you to say that without any discussion is itself ignorance. But leaving that aside, I've been watching these sort of ads in various media for years but I've yet to come across any tyre manufacturer, vehicle manufacturer, vehicle user, race teams, adventurers or any internet discussion forum where the use of such sealants have been recommended or endorsed by any significant number of people.

                    The people who matter are vehicle users and it is this group that have to most to gain from using a sealant. Yet, few people seem to endorse them.

                      Looks like you maybe suffering from an airlock in the tank. Next time, open the cap and put it back and try restarting.

                          Seems that my bike too is having this syndrome...
                          but the issue is that all this started after the 5th service....

                          Before the service it was touchwood...now...
                          Bike starts only at 2nd or 3rd crank(earlier it was 1st crank even in winters).....
                          Idling is presently at 1300-1400rpm....

                          It suddenly stalls on the highways and starts only after 5 min of rest.....
                          Damn i m in the middle of traffic while the public is busy showering abuses and curses....

                          Pick up has reduced marginally but the top end seems to get stuck at 104km/hr no matter what i do...again.....

                          Also earlier the mileage was 38-40 typical.....but now its arnd 32-33.....

                          I am unable to understand all this as being a result of a lean A/F ratio....
                          Or is it a lean mix alongwith other possible probs?????

                          Could anyone atleast speculate wats wrong here????

                            Oh it will be terrific if the bike stops in the middle of the traffic...
                            i haven't come to such a problem on my bike...
                            @Novice as per you statement i would recommend you to give the bike for servicing at another SVC or take to a good mechanic and check the carb is tunned properly...
                            it seems the A/F ration is bit lean that's why the bike don't starts even after 3 or more cranks...
                            when i give my bike for servicing i will tell the supervisor never(say BOLDLY) fiddle with the carb tuning...

                              A faulty spark plug will cause starting troubles or misfiring. Not the problem that you have.

                              For clarification, does the problem occur both when from cold start (after a long stop) and hot start (after a short stop)? If it is both, most likely it is a vacum lock problem. In that case, the fuel tank cap must be cleaned thoroughly with kerosene or petrol to clean the breather hole. If it doesn't work, change the cap.

                                Hey same thing happened after my 4th servicing! Everything got reduced! Acceleration, top speed n FE also!! Bike not going above 122kmph! And its taking a lot of time to reach 9k rpm from 6k!!

                                The SVC guys opened my bike's carb, then tuned it! But neither I'm getting performance, nor FE!
