    • Thanks guys!
      @ Phenom - Well, the bike is one of the most comfy in 1500cc class.

      My budget won't allow for a Karizma...... do you think a second hand is good?

        But Yamaha does need a bigger cruiser in Thunderbird/Avenger form factor.

              Can the front forks of FZ16 be chromed?I am asking in particular about the yolk(Outer tube of front forks). I don't like the greyish silver.
              Any Inputs on this? Help shall be appreciated.

                      Ask the SVC guys to the check the battery charging. Might want to check the electrolyte levels now though...



                      This I can help. You got to adjust the idling screw (when the engine is warm mind) to maintain the rpm at 1.5k. Lot of guys do it when the engine is cold and hence shoots up when temperature builds up.



                      Well for a guy who's graduated from a scooty this by itself is an achievement.
                      But I donno. I dont think I'd have gone above 110 in any case. I was driving into the wind (One hell of a windy place NICE road is) may be that was a factor too.
                      They've also tried everythin , poor guys have checked for puncture , rim bend , beading leakage , they took it apart completely and re-sealed it back , still it doesn't budge ...

                      idling i did set it wen it was warm ... but this is a relatively negligible problem .

                      will have to get the battery charged again i guess ... did it during the last service .
                      People ask me , why are you cribbing about the BHP ? to them I say "MORE is never ENOUGH" xbhp.com

                        if you are asking for the glow then it is definitely worth it.... but i would recommend you to go for bixenons as then both you low and high beam will glow beautifully otherwise the low beam will be same old halogen.....

                        i would like to warn you that xenons without projectors are illegal and if a cop catches you he/she will fine you or you will have to bribe him/her.....

                        any noticeable change in mileage, top speed and acceleration after ngk???

                          Is the NGK iridium made in India or Japan???? I heard there is difference in performance

                                From what I've read in this forum, there isnt a NGK Iridium made for FZ bikes in particular. Guys here have put the Honda Shine's NGK Iridium Plug as it is a perfect match. There is an increase in performance although only a little.

                                SVC guys sorted out my cold start misfires. So had to postpone getting one myself
