            I m quite happy with the battery as I dont want those days back when i had to push the bike every morning. it costed me 1050/- after giving away the old battery.. And as I mentioned my frnd is using the battery on his pulsar for around 2 yrs now and no complains .. so I am quite relieved about its performance

              • Hi guys,

                I've bought a fazer few days back, the bike's great ... awesome handling in traffic specially ... But I feel the accelerator is pretty hard. I've ridden an FZS a year ... if I rmr correctly it wasn't that hard to twist.

                Is it a different case with fazer or do I've get it checked.

                    it's 1.7 yr old, 9K KMs run ....

                    Also I caclulated the mileage, it came around 31 KmpL ... I was shocked. I never thought it would be so low.

                      Troubleshooting:

                      1) Tight Accelerator cable: The previous owner may have not bothered to lube and overhaul the accelerator and clutch cables... Recommendations: get them lubed and oiled properly and then see.. if you still find it hard then get it checked once at the SVC.. Since, the bike is over 1.5 years old and assuming the previous owner kept it exposed to the rain and outdoor weather, i would recommend replacing with new set of cables. won't cost you more than 300-350 bucks for both.

                      2) Mileage issue: Most common and irritating problem amongst users... Reasons can be many:

                      a) improper tire pressure (correct pressure 28psi - front & 33psi- rear)
                      b) dirty oil and filter (lack of periodic maintainence = engine parts not getting lubricated properly = engine not performing tasks efficiently = low mileage)
                      c) excessive chain slack ( as a result, engine power not being able to be transferred efficiently to the rear tire)
                      d) Not following the proper engine break in procedure (i.e. initial 1000 kms run-in)
                      e) improper riding habits(red lining the engine all the time and being on lower gears more than required!!)
                      f) AFR (Air to fuel ratio in the carburetor not correct!)

                      If you have taken care of all other points except the last one then the most probable culprit is carburetor AFR on richer setting.. i.e. engine is getting more fuel in comparison to air in the combustion chamber making the bike feel more gruntier however the FE drops ridiculously low...

                      the most easiest way to find out is to check the colour of the electrode of the spark plug. if the colour is black or there is black gooey deposition on it, then you know that your bike's engine has been fed with excessive fuel and thus, low mileage. Tell the svc guys to tune it properly. The ideal colour of the spark plug is brown tan.

                      hope this helps..

                      Cheers

                      BTW: when are you planning to joel it fully??

                      • Hi all,
                        Yesterday a car coming backwards pushed my bike & the bike fell rightwards making scratches in leg guard and muffler cover. Can I make a claim against this to replace the damaged muffler cover?

                            why do you want to give up on your no claim bonus for a part which costs 130(for the silver)+80(for the black) = 210rs???

                              Oops I did not know that much, thanks for guiding me. Scratches is not that much I can live with it (keeping a stone on my heart)

                              Will the premium reduce if there is no claim for one year?

                                NCB is less than 150 bucks, but you have to pay 500 for processing charge. They pay half for fiber parts. Total you have to pay 500+(210/2) for the 210 bucks worth parts . Plus lots of headache getting the claim amount back i.e. 210/2
