      I never took it seriously. My bike also find it hard to pull in high altitudes. Full throttle won't get it cross 2-2.5k rpm in thin air altitude 1 km above sea level.

        • Teflon Coating

          Am not sure If this is covered in previous posts, But I just wanna know if this Teflon coating is really worth the money ? It costs about 450 Rs. Will it increase the shine or durability of the paint or is it all just a waste of money?
          Every time I give my bike for service, the service people will ask me if I wanna do Teflon coating for the bike.

            1st of all, most of the parts of FZ are of plastic... Hence, the paint fading away is a remote possibility. You just need to coat your beauty with a little bit of wax polish once a week or 2. I would recommend one thing though.. please do consider nickle plating the nuts and bolts... as i am witnessing rust formation on one of them on me bike.

            Service guys are out for making quick extra buck.. hence, i would not blindly follow their advice...

                today was doing 117 km/h,but today no vibration was there both in the morning & evening.But today I felt tht I wish Fz had some more top end rush.full 2000rpm was left but it never went there..hopefully new model of Fz will have that extra top end.

                • guys ... bike giving me problems AGAIN ! ... yesterday while on my way to vijaynagar , at a signal i turned off the ignition but it kept on trying to crank with the ignition OFF ... like when you try to hotwire it ... after a while the entire elecricals and bike just shutdown ( AGAIN ) near Mantri square ...

                  So since this has happened before I knew what to do ... I opened the side cover ( RHS ) and then just whacked the round module there , just above the fuse and after a few hits it kicks back to life ... it happened again today , where the electricals just shut down ... and the same procedure worked again ... But it's pissing me off BIG time ...
                  People ask me , why are you cribbing about the BHP ? to them I say "MORE is never ENOUGH" xbhp.com

                        Yell at them with the highest pitch. Shout at the enginner in SVC that why this is hapenning again and again and they are not able to identify the problem and rectify it.

                        I bet within few mins your bike will be back to normal if you follow this.

                        • Smoke...

                          Hi Everybody,

                          I have recently bought a FZ and i must say i am very happy with it. But i have noticed that when i start my bike with choke on, visible smoke comes out from the silencer which lasts for around half a minute. This generally happens during cold starts or starting after a considerable delay say 7-8 hours. After 30 seconds or so the smoke dissapears and i ride off, putting of the choke. On cold starts, I generally use the choke for around 1 minute and then another minute i let he bike idle without choke, then i ride off... Is this the correct procedure and is the smoke a normal phenomenon or something that i should worry about.

                          Thanks!!

                          PERSEVERE... failure is not an option!

                            yes it is normal...

                            the smoke depends on the temperature... if its cold the smoke is due to incomplete combustion of the fuel and the water vapor also condenses into smoke like what happens with our breath in cold temperature....... but after the engine reaches its optimal temperature the combustion is complete and the smoke disappears.....

                              Thanks for the reply Kinshuk... Now i am relieved. As i was associated with two strokes most of my life, smokes are nothing unusual for me, but here i thought maybe something is fishy..


                              Thanks again...

                                then dont take to svc,instead take to nearest local mechanic.he will do it with more care then the svc.Believe me they are more helpful & listen to ur each & every problem,then rectify that.
