    There is still enuf of gap between the tyre and the tyre hugger. Thats good. And how is the fit of a lesser width tyre on a 140 width rim? Hope there are no issues there.
    How's the grip and cornering?

    Price is still yikes
    But rubber prices are still sky high, so this is expected.
    Everyone falls down, doesn't matter...
    But its how fast you get up, that matters.....

      • the disc setup will cost you a cool 20k + taxes ... It comes under the body kit and it contains the master cylinder , the disc , the caliper bracket and the brake hose ...

            well as of now can't provide u wid ne raw figures but some changes that i hve noticed are:

            ride quality is a step up and quite noticeable with no effect on handling whatsoever........the grip is still gr8 as earlier.
            FE improvement along with surprisingly better acceleration......now the bike's responsiveness is tad better............ (FE earlier arnd 37-38 now all f a sudden bumped upto 43)
            visually side look is awesme since now the bike has 120/80 17 rear and complementing 100/80 17 front but viewing from rear directly i feel missing that 140 look.....
            ground clearance also improved since bike is now riding a bit taller and overall it's better now
            still nimble and easy in traffic...........
            more updates after the service which unfortunately is delayed quite a long time now..........6000kms nw widout service

            these are just my intial observations and i wud keep u updated further and also provided ne raw data if i get a chance to do so...........tc mates

              no issues with fit bro........direct fit no mod req........but i do feel the words of the tyre shop owner to be true.........he said this one is suited to the bike better......and he had a log of similar complaints with the revz model mentioned elsewhere in the forum also.....and was quite surprised to learn about my decision of not getting the revz again.......bcoz he used to convince pple wid that.........even my friend at yamaha SVC told to go for same and the initial impression is indeed very positive!!

                Yeah , but I dunno what the problem with the revz is , haven't faced any sort of problem with it at all ... **touchwood** , I do see a lot of people running revz with no issues ... punctures ??? or something else , punctures are common bro , I got two punctures fixed and running good ....

                  I think the people are referring to the lack of grip on sandy/gravel-filled roads..I have experienced this-the tyre skids pretty easily under these conditions..just my observation

                    ya +1 to u.mine also skids easily,this is bcoz of the wideness that the tire float over the gravels/sand.But in normal road the REVZ will NEVER skid,even in water filled road also the chance is very less to skid due to the same thickness..I have ran for 1 and half year,still no puncture or any grip skid issue.Hope everything goes fine in future.

                      that's the skinniest tyre i've ever seen on an FZ.

                      it's also going to be a tad 'gentler' on the engine.

                          I running my FZ on a similar set up.

                          H7 projector with HID and angel eyes.

                          Pretty neat lighting except on the bends where it doesn't lighten the road well.

                          Did you fabricate it yourself or buy the kit?

                                bro , only the disc maybe around 5 to 6k ... not sure but thats purely based on hearsay . But what i'm thinking is If you change only the disc it might not workout and you may need to replace the entire set . aftermarket ones will be a tad cheaper than the daytona for sure ...

                                This is a H3 Projector , the problem is the halogen bulb , need to jump to HID's soon . then I'm sure all will be okay . The fabrication was done by Kinshuk.arya and I just swiped it off him .

                                Angel eyes from 700 to 1.2k . you can do them yourself also if you get the required stuff , sounds simple enough .

                                The angel eye generally comes in either white or blue colour ( typical angel) . so the devil's eye is nothing but a red coloured one .
