    Bro I don't think it is required as such..but it will improve efficiency to a small extent and the throttle response is very crisp now compared to stock..

      There's a new mechanic who repairs FZs and is located right outside my place. Thought it would be good to build up a rapport with him for odd jobs like engine oil change etc. Any tips on how to do that?

        There's no noticeable difference in power delivery between the iridium and
        G power plugs.....although iridium's have very high tolerences required in race machines, which i doubt we will be needing.....

        i guess u know this bt just adding wat i know from ride experience...

        G power is enough for my daily city rides and occassional tour. plus its cheaper by 350 bucks

        There's no hard and fast rule for you to change it....your conventioanl plug will serve the purpose.

        But with your new bore which i think has a higher compression would definitely benefit from the g power's unifrom spark and high tolerence....

        Exactly. No cold start issues and uniform discharge give you a better feel of your ride....

        cheers.....

        P.S - Pune guys, am wtg to hear from u all....

                    • Hello Bikers!

                      Finally...after a lot of thinking, delaying, confusion and cancelling a booking of P220!! I finally got a black/green FZ-S today, and I am more than happy with my decision

                      I and my brother (nitinsen) went to the Yamaha showroom today in Delhi (we had already made the downpayment a couple of weeks back) and got the motorcycle. I must say this is worth the wait This is my fourth motorcycle, 1st being classic CBZ then Karizma followed by a Bullet Electra (currently owned) and now this, the beautiful, more stunning than probably all the bikes available today, the Yamaha FZ-S Fantastic motorcycle, especially after been riding a bullet for 5 years now FZ-S feels like heaven, it's so light, agile and smooth, wonderful

                      I will try to put couple of pics and share my ownership experience as often as possible here. Happy riding

                          Check at Planet DSG at camp they are selling specifically for Fz16 As pointed out by Kinshuk it may be of Shine.

                              • Will white color fade?

                                guys i have booked COMPETITION WHITE FAZER




                                my delivery getting late due to lorry strikes, as told by dealer.

                                so probably it will take thur i think.

                                will the colors get faded as days goes by,,?
                                especially White which i have booked..many told that it catches dirt fast.

                                I will clean my bike once a week.i am not minding that white often gets dirt, But the thing am getting worried is that will the white color fade in few days?

                                red and black wont create any big impression on fading,if white fades, it shows the bike as damm old.

                                need suggestions because its the most important[looks] for Fzzzsssssss..!!!
