at 159 cms = 5 feet 3 inches it will be something like as shown in the picture...

@ 159cm i think u ll have to stretch ur arms a bit too far
now i know 4 a fact that many get adjusted to it soon it ll be like thoughtless process 2nd nature

BUt u ll never feel the ease like in a hero honda splendor or alike bikes cause they r much more comfortable 4 lower heights
U ll know when u go out on a long drive

Now the best judge is to go out n have a test ride of both n let us know
1thing to keep in mind is u should buy a bike which should not feel like a stretch ev3ry day that ll take all the fun out 4 sure no matter its 150cc or 220cc

In 150 cc segment FZ16 IMO is the best in comfort
just my opinion hope it helps cooljoe333

My riding up until now is mostly highway so i don't find the need to change it ...

Thanks buddy for all the info. I have asked my mechanic to bring the chain and sprocket set for FZ/Fazer and also front sprocket of unicorn. He told me that he wasn't having it currently and need to order, but it comes in a set.

I told him that I will buy the FZ/Fazer set only if he brings unicorn front sprocket

. Else I wont buy it from him. He told me that he will check and let me know by Sunday.

Forgot to say, my battery is back alive. It was unclean terminals (I believe). I usually clean it before installing battery back. This time it was brother who fixed it. He didn't clean the terminals, forgot to put the drain tube back, bent two red wires going to fuse

I fixed it myself the day I got off the plaster

Happenedto me too.!

..

You sure its over heating?many ppl complain abt such things even though its normal.

Height never matters in riding a bike. As soon as the bike moves, its like a feather and all u need is to steer it.

Nitrogen or normal air

Which is better for the tubeless of FZ
nitrogen or normal air
how long does nitrogen last
i check the pressure every 2 days wen i go for filling petrol as its free

what are the advantages does it provide with more comfort

**bikekrazy** · 07-01-2011, 08:44 PM

i heard nitrogen is lighter gas compared to Normal air,hence it result in reducing weight.
also it not not prone to evaporate as fast as normal fuel hence we dont require to re-fill it before 3 months.

Its not normal dude..Even i compare it with friend's fz..then only i conclude it as problem. After 10 kms ride it heats a lot. Also i never ripped during the time of checking the heat level

a simple waste of money bro.. Nitrogen makes sense if you are planning on track days where speeding and braking put a lot of stress on the tyres ... fill normal air and check it once a week.. you won't have any problems...

cheers

if you feel right i would suggest not going for the claim unless the bill is 3000 and above..i feel you are simply increasing the premium on your next renewal.. fellow members can throw a few more pointers here.

buddy ....air has no wieght practically and air is 80% nitrogen.so if you weigh a tyre full of air or nitriogen and then remove all air and weigh it again there will be no difference.So how can a tyre with nitrogen be weighing less?

also you say nitrogen is not prone to evaporate as fast as normal FUEL????

Please explain once again what exactly you want to convey buddy im left toitally confused

Advantage of nitrogen is slow pressure drop and less heat build up. I fill N2 when touring. But it's costly most of the places. 50 per tyre for initial fill and 10 for pressure check. I fill from a place where they charge 15 for both tyres initially and 5 for topups.
