    Rust formation

    Guys i am noticing bit of rust formation on the edges of the bike's frame near the rear leg seating levers. (Not sure how to explain this!). Will post pictures soon. Mumbai's whether is the culprit for sure. Any advise how to get rid of them and painting. paint spray.. costs, painter etc?? i am not sure whether the svc would be able to handle this..

      Today morning I rode my friend's Fazer, his bike clocked 2000 KM and 4 months old. The bike pick up was awesome compared to my bike, braking was very good compared to mine. Engine is smooth.

      Especially his seat height is less compared to mine.

      My bike clocked 400 KM and 1 month old. What could be the difference b/w 2 bikes ???

        Hi,
        your bike has still not finished the run in period.. the engine internals & brakes still need to set in hence, you may not find your bike smoother than your friends who's bike is 1600 kms older than yours and in his case the engine parts and brakes have set in completely.

        All new bikes behave like this before their run in period. Nothing to worry about. please go through your bike's manual once, it will clear all your doubts.

        and may i suggest before posting, please do go through previous posts on this thread. your query has already been asked and answered by someone.

        cheers

            Finally i booked my new babe on 6th Dec'2010.....got it deliverd on 9thFeb'2011, being an active member of a riding community in Mumbai -Valiant Riderz...we often go for long distance touring once in a month which includes cornering on ghats, night riding etc...

            This made me go for the yamaha FZS..which is one hell of a bike when it comes to cornering at the price of 78,100INR (mumbai).

            I have recently put a Bixenon HID with projectors and Angel Lights with a Pressure horn !!



            Now my Eclips has become an Eye-Catcher for most of the bikers around my locality, even the R15 guys stop to have a look at it.

            I sincerely thanks each member of xbhp...for helping me buy FZS. looking forward for the first service on 5th MArch.

              @nand15: How did you get your bend rim fixed?
              same here.. went over a deepish pothole while I was going pretty fast, and had a pillion. touchwood all is well

                Yesterday my friend was putting exide battery for his FZ. It costed him around 1100 Rs. When I asked him whether it was a MF battery or not he said yes. I doubt it was a MF battery for 1100 Rs.

                If you insurance is getting over in few days then claim the bend RIM under insurance. At the time of renewal get the insurance from a different company and dont show your claim.

                  I did plan on this too ... But what percentage would I get on the RIM ? and since the bend is not at all obvious , but just enough to leak air through the side would they approve of the claim ?

                  P.S : I still have about 6 months on my insurance ...

                    If the Bend is visible then they should approve it.
                    I guess for metal parts we get something around 70-80%. Not sure of this.
                    6 months is a long period. Better would be buying a foot pump and a pressure guage, if you dont wanna spend on the new RIMS.

                      I'm not worried about spending on new rims , what i'm worried about is the chances of the new rim surviving long enough on our pothole filled roads ... I don' t wanna spend 1.7k or 3k every few months changing my rims ...

                        I can't guarantee on that buddy.
                        In my previous organization I used to travel 40 KMS daily and on awesome highway in Mumbai (Eastern Express). During this period of 10 months I knew each and every pothole (there aren't many, just few on the flyovers) and avoided those.

                        But after my job change my current organization is very near to my house. Just 6 KMS daily travelling. But the roads at Sakinaka in Mumbai are so pathetic that for last 8 months of my travelling on this road I cant remember even a single pothole. Every time a new pothole comes from no-where.

                        Had 6 punctures in the first 2 months on this road on my rear tyre which I finally got replaced from MRF.

                        This is the same story which every Indian is bound to face (I meant the pothole story). But if you want to avoid the trouble for yourself you can give it a try and get a new RIM. As per my opinion rims are not that bad as comapred to what people are promoting.

                          I need to change my FZ rear tyre ASAP unfortunately no options available..
                          MRF revz is sold for 3,700 instead of initial cost of 2,400 due to shortage and the other option is Pirelli sports demon that I didnt find here in Hyderabad. some posts back I read abt the 120/80 am thinking of going for it coz I had a rear rim bend which coughed me 2,600.. Any advice or help??

                              I find my Fazer height is more than other FZ's and Fazer I tried all bikes I am easily able to rest my whole foot at road floor but except my bike where I rest with my Toes.

                              What could be the reason ???
