  • made a very big mistake today.

    As you all know my bike is just 100 KM old. hardly 1 week after delivery.

    Today when I started from parking lot i started with 2nd gear(thinking i have put 1st gear) and tried to move the vehicle but it jerked severely it happened 4 times though i not recognized it is in 2nd !!!

    Will it cause serious damage to my bike ??? or Is it ok ??

          • Hey guys..been reading some reviews about our beast...what kind of opinion do these people have??They all say the engine is underpowered!!
            Why don't they put these fatass tyres on other 150cc bikes and see how well they fare??It does an INCREDIBLE job for the weight it has to pull and those uber-cool thick tyres,right?

              u r absolutely right friend..Fz is made for city riding,not for high speed spirited riding..90+ will be enough.It is not underpowered & can easily keep up with the pulsars(xcept 220)apaches..only it takes some more time to reach more speed & lacks the pull in higher gear due to the fat tyres.But who cares becoz this tyres are very functional & are produced one of its tubeless kind from any other tyre manufacturer till now.
              SO GUYS STOP WORRYING AND FLAUNT YOUR STYLE..

                Exactly! The fat rear tyre is one of the best thing which attracts most of the people,whatever it may be no bike can be "PERFECT" .

                      Thanks for the quick reply mate,actually when I parked my bike today I saw the fazer and incidentally my eye sight fell on the sprocket and thought that it was somewhat bigger then in the Fz.

                      One more query,
                      I use the engine kill switch infinitely! I mean whenever or wherever I stop my bike first I use the engine kill switch then turn it off with the ignition.And before starting the bike when the self check completes then I turn the ON the kill switch and then drive the bike. So is it aite ?

                        it is perfectly alright. I mean, that is what the engine kill switch is for


                        I've two silly queries
                        1. why is it called FZ 16 even though it is only 153cc? (could've said approximation if it was 155cc)
                        2. What do you call the 16 as? sixteen or one-six ?

                          Phew I was worried .Thanks bro

                          1-It's due to the fact that usually manufacturers try to fix the CC digits in the 150,180,200 sections and not in the odd ones like 122,185 AFAIK,and it might be possible that they can't approximize it with higher value.

                          2-I call it one six,It feels good

                            Yeah true..if we put some thinner tyres the bike would whoop ass in terms of performance..although I would never change them
