          Go for Pirelli SD....comes in 140/70 section. Cost will be around 3.5K.

            Ok now I've to check availability is it a direct fit?....how it is compared to stock revz in terms of handling in dry and wet tarmac and average life?

              yes the pirelli sd is a direct fit....
              better in terms of grip in both dry and wet conditions.... the average life is approximately the same.....

              • guys,

                What's the maximum mileage have you got out of your Fazer, I m pretty relexed rider and don't cross the 80 Kmph mark usually. Just wanted to find out if the low mileage is because of rash riding or it is like that, as most of ppl i talked to claim mileage b/w 30-35 Kmpl.

                Also I've heard that the mileage drops down on highway ... is it true ?

                    don't know abt the fazer model me fz on an average gives 38-42 kmpl

                    thrash mode 35-36 kmpl

                    splendor mode(driving like an 70 yr old uncle) 45-49 kmpl

                    Fazer owners can throw a better light on this..

                    cheers

                        possibly richer AFR setting on your carb.. ask the svc guys to tune the carb properly.. if the carb is on richer tune, the spark plug electrodes will show darker blackish colour.. very lean setting, whitish colour, correct setting brownish...

                        clutch can be adjusted by the svc themselves, hope they have lubed the cables properly during servicing..

                        cheers

                          Its about 22K on my odo and I always get around 40 KMPL in city riding and above 40 on the highways (where I am mostly above 90 KMPH).
                          Go to SVC and get your clutch settings as per your requirement. Ask them to check your Carb settings.

                          Did you ever change the stock Carb settings?

                                Take your bike to a tyre repair or change shop and get it checked for any rim bends.... You can also check the same by manual inspection.... Some bends are repairable but if anything major is there you might have to get the rim changed or you can go for a tube inside the tyre.... Btw did you hit any pothole or anything at high speeds?
