    Ya the service guys are useless when it comes to battery, but he checked whether the battery is getting charged while bike is on in front of me itself. Thats the reason I am worried.
    My bike is just 7months old and clocked 8k kms.
    As far as I am aware guys who have clocked more than 15k kms doesnt have any issue with their battery. My bike has Excide battery.

    Also please let me know if getting a kick fitted will have any issues.
    I dont think it is possible to fit kicker..u may check with svc..

      yes I thought of this ... but will it really help ??? I'm looking at a 9Ah battery ... will it fit on the bike ? Anyone tried it out ...?

      EDIT: It is possible to install a kick ... It costs about 2K IIRC ... but availability is the issue . may take upto 2 months to get it done ...

        may be u have to alter a bit the battery place to fit bcoz 9 Ah is big in size compared to the 5Ah..so need to alter the space..

          Waiting for your answer.
          Sorry for keeping you waiting..
          I will try to clear your misunderstandings first

          Firstly, when you said air expands in cold conditions, that is just purely wrong info.

          Secondly, if you think in winter you need to keep the tire pressure lower than in summer, you are again wrong with that, sadly

          You might want to have a look here. They have explained in a very simplistic way.

          • Hi guys,
            I am a new member to xBHP, although i have been following these forums religiously over the past 3 months, when i decided to buy a new bike.... Booked a lava-red FZ almost a month ago, and hopefully will get delivery tomorrow (why is it that the last 24 hrs are the longest??? ) Anyways I wanted to thank everyone for the amount of info and help poured out over these forums, which have been of invaluable help to me (and i'm sure a lot of others too) in choosing our machines....
            Cheers

              ...

              I meant just get a second opinion thats all was not recomending Orion. Altough I ve been getting both my babies serviced there and am very satisfied with their work.. And about the fuse issue I did nt realise you had a headlamp mod! Hmmm Guess you just need a more powerful battery..I for one am very afraid to play with the stock electricals of a bike!

                Right ... i had the failure before on the stock bike as well , but the last three have been on consecutive days and only at night ... which lead me to that conclusion ... anyway will try out orion this time ...

                  Ok now I think I gotta intervene ... Dude I asked to read the entire quote , well let me re-phrase , concentrate on it ...

                  What @RAK said is If you fill extra air on a cold tyre , i.e more than the reco'ed pressure , then as the bike runs a bit and the tyres get hot the air will expand , he has NO-where stated that air expands in cold conditions ...

                  Please excuse the double post guys ...

                    I am hoping you checked the link that I posted earlier..In reality we actually need to put in more air in cold conditions in comparison to normal conditions. Suggesting that filling in extra air pressure in cold condition is not good, is just another myth.

                    I am just being a myth-buster here!!

                    • Hi All,

                      I am moving to Pune, can anyone tell me good SVC is Pune?

                      My bike is Yamaha SZ-R Black.

                      Cheers!

                      • ^^ I have tried Yamaha Factory Shop (Wakdewadi) and Gurunanak Auto Lounge (Kasarwadi). Both are great with service (personal opinion) but you have to explain any problem etc to them very clearly first, and walk away only after confirming the exact problem is acknowledged. Worked for me for nearly 2 years.

                        • Yes i asked the SVC about the kick he said it will cost 1.8k.

                          But guys what might be the issue with the battery?
                          I am very much worried about it.

                            Bro I have gone through that and no-where does it say that you need to fill in more than the recommended air pressure in any condition ... and I quote ,

                            "In fact, tire pressure usually lowers itself in winter and raises itself in summer-it requires no action on the part of the motorist apart from keeping the pressure at the level recommended on the sticker"

                            This is what the recommended pressure sticker is for right ?

                                you are right but did u seethat earlier 2008 models used to come with 35 psi sticker for rear tire.now they changed it to 33psi & for which many Fz got rear rim bend.I think that none from the 2008 batch reported for rear tire rim bend.
