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

I suggest go to this appropriate thread to clear all your doubts: http://www.xbhp.com/talkies/universa...-nitrogen.html

lets keep the thread clean

cheers

Guys what would be the issue behind Un-Satisfactory handling of FZ. Since past few days the handling of my FZ seems quite lethargic especially on corners.. It always feels like I'm wobbling while on corners, while my friend's FZ still takes on corners like a charm with same rider i.e ME..
Con set may be the problem IMO & I dont mind replacing it but how to make sure that I need Con set replacement.
PS: Any idea of con set price & its average life ?
PS2: Where can i check wheel allignments?

i feel con set is the culprit.. i am not sure about the cost but i think it is mentioned in the manual about checking cone set and the replacement time... i don't remember now have a look at the manual once..

btw: i am getting hold of my joelled pipe somewhere mid july..

cheers

either ways, i'll get it replaced.. It is about time now..
Keep me posted with your FFE progress. Where are you gonna get the upgrade done ?? I spoke to my mechanic in Kamala Yamaha about your case & he said the Manager would no way allow an aftermarket mod in SVC

Good service centres in Bangalore

All
I have been going through Mouthshut reviews re. Yamaha service centres in Bangalore. I live close to Marathahalli and Orion & Penache are close to me. I have not heard good things at all about these places. Pacer is far off, but has come under fire as well.

I bought my bike used and have the usual issues:
1. rough gear box
2. difficulty in starting the engine while cold
3. Check for wheel alignment
4. Check cones
5. Rim bends
6. Sluggish pickup between 2000 and 3000 RPM
7. Can I have Motul or AGIP filled in instead of YamaLube?

Please share your experiences.

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.

Read more of it here.
Nitrogen

i wouldnt say "slow pressure drop" since mine almost never drops!

hardly 2psi in 3-4months!
50 per Tyre AND TOP UP IS FREE!
ive been using N2 for the last 1.5yrs and all i do is check before a tour.so unless you have a puncture it isnt such a costly affair.

@all,guys I have filled my bike tire pressure front as 30 & rear 37psi,One issue is that it is almost 1&1/2 month still the front psi is 30.only the rear I have filled twice as it becomes around 25-28 within 3 weeks.So is the front tire psi normal after so many days to remain the same??& FYI I fill normal air only.

**rapperswil** · 07-02-2011, 08:31 PM

28 PSI is the recommended air pressure for the front tyre.

That is also I am worried why only rear is going down but front is staying there for more than month.& as it is not nitrogen but air I doubt that my rear is little giving away more than first.Any suggestion experienced riders??
FYI Still now I didnot get any rear puncture only for once when I removed the small nail stuck in rear..that too get fixed by itself next day as the rubber expanded + a little fevicol that I pour after removing the nail
