    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
    the engine will feel more responsive after the break in.... dont worry if you still feel check the accelerator free play....

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

      Its not that simple.......however you can try your luck with sporcketing. Swap the FZ front 14T sprocket whith that of an Honda Unicorn's 15T front sprocket. There is however a tradeoff, you will loose out on accleration but will have more topend performance and your topspeed will certainly increase. My personal best on my stock FZ is 115km/hr on a speedgun on JNPT Road near Belapur, Mumbai.

        We were actually discussing engine swaps... I like the R15's smoothness but I don't like the posture of that bike. A mere sprocket swap would not be enough. Besides I'm doing those kind of speeds stock

        @fzmaniac dude I didn't get the nice smoothness I wanted till I was well over 3k into running... be patient

                      I am sure you must me doing that speed as stock........however when doing 115km/hr on the speed gun the speedo indicated 125+km/hr. Engine swap of R15 and FZ is not possible. The R15's engine is mounted on a Aluminium Twin Spar Frame. To successfully complete the swap you need to build a frame from ground up possibly a "Trellis frame". My friend in Pune has build a frame just like a Trellis Frame for his RD. Its rocking especially his RD now handles like dream.

                        special brackets can be mounted or welded on the fz frame for mounting the r15's engine...

                            nope not seen it.... but i think it might be done... though vibrations will increase in that case....
