      • - False neutral will ease out after a few 100KMs
        - Vibrations on the FZ are news to me... check engine mounts and the fairing panels

        - Didnt quite understand "Short gears are not good for touring?"

                    The pleasure is when your rear wheel slides, and you bring it back; and when the front wheel lifts, you take your time bringing it back.

                      1. Pillion space could have been better.
                      Yep,Definitely
                      2. The downside of finding neutral easily is that when shifting from 1 to 2, sometime you end up in neutral, very annoying.
                      hmmm...frankly ive never heard of getting stuck at N when up-shifting...anyway Gear takes around 1k km to smooth out.
                      3. Bike takes unusually long time to warm up, compared to my old bike.
                      ive never had this problem
                      4. Gears are short, not good for touring.


                      Problems that I am facing:What exactly is the issue you are facing?is the bike switching off when you apply the choke?

                      2. Vibrations on the foot pegs and tank. Took it to the service guy and he tightened all the nuts and lubricated the chain. It was ok for a couple of days but the vibrations are back now. It has taken the fun out of riding the bike, really irritating. I feel more of the vibrations on the left side, could it be the sprocket?

                      try tightening all the bolts especially the foundation bolt.
                      BTW @ Mods...why do we have a separate thread for FAZER after having a common one for the FZ series all this time?

                              I do have 2 questions now.
                              1. When Im driving above 90KPH, I feel some vibration below the seat. Is it normal?
                              2. I ve seen many hearing the extra sound and vibrations around 60-62. Is it ok to maintain the speed for 60 for more than 10 secs? This ques may sound silly, but Im lil concerned abt my bike..
                              I'm going for broke here. But can you ensure the seat is actually fixed properly. The FZ seat is kinda loose fitting if not fitted perfectly. I've seen even SVC guys failing on that. You have to press near the tank so much that the other end (rear) pops up a big way and slam the rear down. Then check if there is any movement.

                              Again like I said I'm going for broke. Apart from this you could may be see if the tool kit below the seat is properly strapped and that no tool inside is causing the vibes.
                              Everyone falls down, doesn't matter...
                              But its how fast you get up, that matters.....

                                a full synth can go upto 3k if i am not wrong.....
