    • overheat problem

      guys..My bike fzs (5 months & 6500 kms old) giving engine overheat problem. I am facing this problem since it was new. But i convince myself to wait for 5000 kms but still it gives me trouble. I am always explain this problem to ASC mechanics but here they are simply waste. Also i checked the oil level and it is fine. After atleast 10 kms of rides my bikes heats a lot. Also the tappet noise will come when engine get heated..i know the noise is normal when overheat is occurs..But what is the cause of this early overheat...plz guys i need help..
      Currently i am using yamalube mineral oil.

            Try some local shop, you will get Pulsar's 15T. Unicorn is very very rare.

              Last time when I checked with my mechanic he told me that he had one.....haven't checked with him recently.....but he is one hell of a person.....he will get it for sure if I order (if he doesn't have one).

              • Any suggestion on which leg guard i should get for my Fazer. SVC guys offer only single rod for 480 bucks. will single rod one will be able to take the fall ?

                any other suggestion, place in bangalore i can get it done?


                Also, if bangalore FZ/Fazer owner can suggest a good mechanic near HSR/Kormangala/Marathalli/Whitefiled .... SVC is charging 900 (including oil) for regular servicing. Some how the guy didn't appear promising enough to solve my problem.

                  I guess crash guard comes as standard with the bike and not as an accessory. Check with your dealer for the same. I got it as standard and didn't pay anything extra for it.

                  My crash guard have taken quite a lot of abuse with my falls. So better go for the one which is seen on every FZ/Fazer.

                  What problem are you facing?

                  • I have installed a unicorn 15T sprocket ... observations after close to 6K kms on the setup ... mileage increased by 2-3kmpl , no change in top-speed as such , just better cruisability on the higher RPM range ... low end torque takes a substantial hit ...
                    People ask me , why are you cribbing about the BHP ? to them I say "MORE is never ENOUGH" xbhp.com

                            It doesn't have a leg guard right now.... I see in your pic you've leg guard similar to pulsar. the one which SVC is offering is with just one rod ... like those old yamaha RX series had.

                            I wasn't sure if it'll be able to handle a crash.

                                sorry to hear that ... good that everyone's fine.

                                But I've observed this, that yamaha spare parts are way too costly compared to other brands.
