    I'm facing a weird problem with my FZ. I got the bike about a month ago. after around 10 days of riding, the bike started giving distinct vibrations between 3500 to 4500 rpm. These vibrations grow as the engine approaches the 3500 mark, and start dying down at around 5000 rpm. These vibrations are felt prominently on the handle bar and near the tank recessions where we take a grip with our thighs.

    I showed the bike at the service center and the service guy said the issue would get resolved after the 1st service, which it did but for a while. The vibrations cropped up again the very next day after an hour's ride from Goregaon to Mulund. Got it shown at the service center again, today. He tightened a few bolts around the engine, may be on the chassis and the swingarm bolts too.

    The vibrations died down, but have crept up again by the time i reached office which is a around an 8 KM ride from the service center. Has anyone faced a similar issue? Please advise.
    Yes.. im facing xactly the same prob.. tho at a little higher RPM.. in my case they occur at 4500 rpm.. i'll discuss this with the mechanic in few days.. will keep u updated...

      that was the range of rpm that it occurs in. In my case too, vibrations are the highest at 4500 rpm with a lot of them felt in the handle bars. please do let me know how you get it solved with your mech.

              • its not about blowing many times, the frnd who got it for me is using it for last 2 months without a prob. Its like u do not blow it continously like a headlight, so battery will charge, thats what he meant

                              • Strange Problem

                                Hi Guys!

                                I am facing a strange problem...

                                My FZ has suffered 3 punctures and to my horror, all in the same place..
                                When i got the second puncture fixed, it ws a piece of glass that had pierced through the hole that is created while fixing puncture.

                                That was fixed, and today morning while i was driving at about 40 kmph, all of a sudden air started leaking from that hole fiercefully and within a matter of sec, all the air was lost.

                                I didnt had any other option but to fix the puncture again..

                                I am very much worried.. Guys.. Please help!!!!
