    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..!!!
    If you wash and polish it regularly I doubt it will fade...take white rtr 180 for example..the paint job on my friends 2 year old bike still looks like new!

          • Relax, the paint will not fade. Metallic colors are much less prone to fading than non metallic ones.
            I just saw this color in the showroom&I think it looks fantastic.
            Just take normal precautions like not parking your bike in the sun, teflon/polish once in a while etc.

                Check at Planet DSG at camp they are selling specifically for Fz16 As pointed out by Kinshuk it may be of Shine.
                Hi abhijit....actually i m on the lookout for the g power and not iridium...

                See, the thing is a friend of mine had an iridium plug in his bike which was very better than stock plug...

                One fine day his bike electricals went kaput alongwith the plug while we were travelling on highway...
                its another story he had a 9ah battery and he had fiddled with the electricals...

                So next time he got hold of a gp ower plug and mind you there was no noticaeble difference in the performance although it was still better than stock....

                So please if any of your friend KNOWS for sure any shop, do tell me.

                cheers...

                  don't worry bro there wont be any problem with the paint fading
                  i have seen the competition white it looks gorgeous
                  don't allow dirt to sit very long on the paint
                  wash it once a week it will be fine
                  but clean it well after washing i mean the metal parts like joints and welds
                  else they may start to rust
                  Hope you get your bike soon
                  remember the run in points while riding

                      Hi Novice
                      Try posting it in Pune G2G thread. Also are you for sure that there is noticeable performance difference other than cold starting (any data comparison). Most of the time it is just psychological. I'm using stock plug & happy with it & since have kick no problems during cold start.

                        the gears will improve as you gain miles
                        and an oil change will make it smooth
                        the crash guard will hamper the looks
                        i think you are referring to pulsars small butterfly crash guards i think those type of crash guards are available
                        why don't you go for a single rod crash guard

                          btw does anyone know what is the life of the stock spark plug?
                          user manual says to replace it every 12K KM, which I did promptly and now having cold start problem

                            Hi,
                            I'm not sure if the Pulsar's crash guard will be compatible. Check with SVC.
                            My crash guard has taken a lot of beating during an accident & saved my leg & the fairing from scratches. Also it does not look that bad, it is up to you whether you care for your body or look of the bike.

                              It won't fit. Mounting mechanism is entirely different.
