I mean a bike which has been wrecked beyond repair and replaced for the owner, but with an intact engine. It should be cheaper to get one than getting a second hand R15 or a new one.Originally posted by kinshuk.arya View Postit should be feasible but how to buy the bike from insurance company?? they will definitely charge it higher....

They will be sold for scrap value. Brand new total loss Unicorn was available for under 5k was on offer to a frnd wrking in one of the insurance companies. Estimated cost for restoration was about 15k by a local mech.Originally posted by kinshuk.arya View Postit should be feasible but how to buy the bike from insurance company?? they will definitely charge it higher....
Total loss R15's might be easy to source as lots of kiddies are crashing them. I've seen lot of them waiting for insurance claim at Hilton Yamaha, mostly head on crashes.#RetiredRider

if that is the case it might be feasible... but wont the gear box create a problem??? if we want a higher performing fz it will be better if we change the gearbox also...Originally posted by deville_56 View PostThey will be sold for scrap value.

Yeah, obviously... why settle for a 5 speed when you can have 6Originally posted by kinshuk.arya View Postif that is the case it might be feasible... but wont the gear box create a problem??? if we want a higher performing fz it will be better if we change the gearbox also...
Basically swapping the entire drive train into the FZ. Few issues I see coming up though apart from obviously fitting the thing in... how would you do final drive given the significant size difference in wheels :/ Also where would you mount that radiator

i dont think fitting will be a problem because basically we will be swapping the whole power plant with the new one... and the radiator can be mounte by welding some iron strips on the chassis under the tank beneath the headlight...Originally posted by Samarth_M View PostYeah, obviously... why settle for a 5 speed when you can have 6

the engine is the same stock engine... lol... if you notice the circle like cover thing that is covering the empty space where on a normal FZ its where the carburetor is with the reserve switch on the other side... thats just a circle plastic cover and it makes no sense as to what it does in the functioning of the engine. The circle at the bottom along the foot break is where the crank is normally to my knowledge (correct me if wrong) and connects to the drive shaft. It just doesn't make sense and if you notice carefully you'll see the normal 150CC engine block with the air cooling vents behind all those plastic covers.... but whatever said its a good looks like 250cc mod.. but unfortunately its notOriginally posted by HellRa1SeR View PostBrother No offence meant but the engine definitely looks different from the stock ones of yamaha. Also there are aftermarket products like racing exhausts, Dual front disk setup,rear disks, apart from the awesome paint-job.
I dont know if it is a real 250 or not, but the yam does look damn good.

Tachometer is the meter that shows the engine speed...and the red line is where the engines rotates the fastest...its recommended not to play around that area for longOriginally posted by raulsmile89 View Postso can someone please tell me what the does the red sign indicates on the tacho meter..??

If u mean the red indicator in the display it is the engine error indicator.. though i am not completely aware of its complete potential i hav been advised not to start the engine unless the red light on the indicator is off..Originally posted by raulsmile89 View Postso can someone please tell me what the does the red sign indicates on the tacho meter..??
if it was the one i tachometer u meant then Ranjith's reply in spot on

@kinshuk
Thanks a lot mate
i think the machine is spot on then... i thus feel the throttle response is a bit down..
honestly i felt bad only cos the other FZs on the street jus speed of swiftly n more importantly smoothly.. especially while startin from the signal break
i hope the things should be fine after the 1 service
