Here he offered me 48 months warranty for the battery,If you need it, I can arrange it for you.
    Amaron dealer here is already not so good. I'll get either Bosch or Exide. I don't have to produce bike to fit at either of them

      You dont have to produce bike here,just get a pulsar bike number and tell him the number,he will sell it to any bike owner. He is friendly,No probs. If you dont have the number,dont worry,he has a pulsar,he will put his bike's number and will sell it to you

            issue with Cold mornings start

            All
            I know that the recommended method to start an FZ with a cold engine on a cold morning is to use the choke. I live in bangalore.

            Despite using the choke, I had to press the starter repeatedly to finally bring the motor to life. Even then it was very very sluggish on the move. After 5 KMs, it was still sluggish - i.e reluctant to run. The engine stalled while I was riding on a Highway with a truck behind me. I was doing 35-45 all along so as to not stress the engine.

            Is this a problem common to Yamahas or something to do with the bike? The Honda I had earlier would run just fine 2 KMs after starting. I let the motor warm up for a minute always.

            Your inputs are welcome.

              surprisingly , I never have had this problem , it fires up on the first attempt all the time ... without the choke . And I stay in Bangalore too , I'm not sure but are you running with the choke ON after starting it up ?
              People ask me , why are you cribbing about the BHP ? to them I say "MORE is never ENOUGH" xbhp.com

                "I'm not sure but are you running with the choke ON after starting it up ?"
                Yes. That seems to be the standard practice. How old is your bike? Can this be addressed by increasing the idling speed?

                Even when warm, I need to both press the starter and increase the throttle. Whereas in the Honda, I would only press the starter.

                  what he means is: turn off the choke after a minute or so of operation.... or in other words do not keep the choke turned on for more than 500m to 1km of operations...

                  for your starter and throttle combo check you idle engine rpm it should be somewhere around 1200....

                      This is what I follow:
                      1. Start the bike in Neutral.
                      2. Choke ON.
                      3. Keep the Choke ON till I wear my Jacket, Helmet and Gloves (takes about 1 min).
                      4. Choke OFF.
                      5. Ride at low RPM (not above 4.5K) for atleast 500 meters.
                      6. After 500 meters ride as usual.
                      I am following this for the last 22K kms and never faced any issue. My bike always start on the first crank.

                      But one thing.....without choke my bike starts fine but after 30 secs when I start wearing my gears RPM goes down and it shuts off . This happens everytime.

                      So I need to start it with Choke ON everyday.

                          You should get more than that if bike is perfect and you ride in sane speeds.

                                i guess this is becoming quite a common nuisance... ask the guys at the svc to tune your bike's carburetor properly assuming that you have taken care of the basic maintainence by the book
