      Thanks a lot for the input guys

        Wow. You sure are prone to weird failures. But nothing permanent was done by the SVC to get rid of this problem? Thats even worse.

          am planning for a Spiti trip in March on my FZ. Taking care of the spares and keeping the bike in good condition before the ride is priority. Now what i wanted to know how the FZ has performed in the cold weather and what type of problems can be expected and solutions too
          Check out this travelogue to Ladakh on a FZ for all info. Very well written.

            It was a Unicorn, with ceased engine running without oil, leaking suspension, and a worn chain set. ASC asked to overhaul the engine, change piston kits, whole suspension, cone set, battery, blah, blah, and an estimate 17k.

            Took it to local mech, decarbonized engine, cone set changed, suspension oil seal change, chain set change and some misc jobs (new horn, relay, K&N, new battery installations, and lots of broken body panel fixing) , and bill 4.7k.

                Guys my bike is troubling me a lot these days.
                Whenever I slow my bike and down shift gear holding clutch before going through speed breaker the bike's engine gets switch off so I have to press the self switch to start it again or else I have to leave the clutch when the bike is in gear to start the engine. Any idea about this? Have anybody experienced the same?

                  Check the engine idling speed..(Too low)

                  Check the spark plug gap and valve timing.

                  Lack of air passage into the engine also may create this problem.

                    Idle speed is perfect. what is valve timing?

                        Refer Valve timing - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

                        Better to give your bike to SVC...let see...

                          yeah that will be my last option. But I am sure the members here are capable of solving this problem.

                            I think while washing water gets into the exhaust of the bike. thats why the bike is not starting. next time make sure that you dont let water get into the exhaust pipe.
