    most common nagging problem with all disk brake bikes. Dirt has got into the front brakes. Get it cleaned properly.. the sound should disappear.

    cheers
    It s correct... Dirt is d culprit..I have faced d same problem before....,. Jus wash the disc and d disc brake mechanism with a jet of water... sound shd be gone...

      how old is your bike. Has it done the 1st servicing yet?? If not i suggest finish off your 1k and the 1st service and then have a feel of your bike's gear and engine. When it is new you will find it bit ruff as the parts are still setting in. I had a round of false gears as i was nearing 1k, but after the 1st servicing, the bike was butter smooth.

      Hope this helps

      cheers mate
      Hi buddy,

      this has been happening from day one. I have crossed 1k and got my service done. I even got my oil changed to motul ss due to which the engine has become smooth but the hears are still clunky as always:-(

      Ps : really appreciate the quick reply bro:-)

          Ride for 200 kms more and see if there is any change. If not then get it checked at the showroom.

          If you soften the suspension, the ride characteristics of the bike will change. I personally haven't tried these settings but it is certain that the bike's eagerness to take those quick corners will go for a toss if the rear suspension is on the softer side. However, the ride quality on bad roads should improve marginally.

          I believe others can throw a better light on this. If i were you , i would leave the factory setting the way it is.

            bro that white colour u mentioned is only for indonesia edition not for india.but u can custom paint it as u like it.Soft suspension can give xcelent feedback while riding alone in bad roads but if u r doubling than the bike can easily bump in speed breaker or bad roads.I myself have a soft suspension setup & it fells awesome riding alone.

            • went to the SVC. the mechanic there took a ride and found the problem almost immediately. Some dust had clogged into the disc brake. he cleaned it and the noise was gone
              as a bonus he lubed my chain for free

                Hi buddy,

                I have already covered roughly around 150km, and by the time u read this i would have covered another 100 or more for today, but i see no improvement whatsoever. I think i'm off to the svc guys and hopefully get this resolved. :-)

                      you can go to your nearest service centre & tell them you want to lower the seat height,thats it.They wont charge you anything.You cant do it yourself.

                            It wont be a problem buddy....one of my friend is 5.3 and he is easily managing FZ for past 6 months. I never saw him struggling.
