the all new black one does look good with the fz.... along with that if your budget permits why dont you go for an all black treatment?? get the silver side panels also converted to black....

Guys i need help

i had parked my bike n when i came back the front mud guard was cracked in the back(behind the shock-absorbers) slightly i only noticed because when i started the bike a kinda cranky sound started coming when i gave a close check i suppose some idiot had rammed his vehicle to mine n had gone now when i called to claim 4 insurance service guy said they only accept insurance 4 Rs 3000 and above is it true am i going to have to pay it my self

BTW my baby is just 3 months old and its lava red
PLz guys suggest me something ???

i was thinking of that too..any idea how much it will cost?


Called a yamaha service center they told whole body panels will come in 4k they were not able to tell about specific part

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

hey thanks shv,

Sorry, I was preoccupied with the office work. couldn't check the thread before.

I'll get the wire checked tomorrow, and will get other things done too.

As, Soon as I get the bike in good riding condition ... I'll get it to joel's workshop.

BTW I was told that, FFE modded bikes are not street legal. Is this true ?

BTW deville_56 nice paint job man it looks cool

After the 1st service my bike's gear was butter smooth with eventually disappeared... A couple of days back i had the 2nd service done
i thought the gear shifts will be smooth again but
it didn't happen only slight difference was there
what must have been the cause of gear shifts not being smooth
i want my butter smooth gearshifts

your bike engine internals are still setting in... post 3000 kms i.e 2nd servicing switch to Motul mineral oil 20WX40...
cheers
