Hey guys,
I have finally decided to get my bike Joeled,I will be heading to Race concepts work shop tomorrow.But from previous posts I understand that going for the bigbore kit without Free flow exhaust will do no good for the top-end performance.
But if I install only the FFE with the stock engine
1.Will there be an increase in my fuel efficiency?
2.Will the FFE with DB killer attract the cops attention too much?

3.Will there be a significant improvement in the topend performance?

well i would advice you go for the FFE first and the bigbore after (in case ur looking at).. the FFE will enable the engine to rev freely without the stock restrictions. increase in fuel eff is said to be there. i'm not sure if any of them have posted a review on the FFE for fz.

I have the option of going either for the FFE or the bigbore.My other concern with the FFE is that its a cop magnet

.
Now I guess I will go for the FFE itself,considering the fact that I can do further upgrades only next year.

Hello guys. Someone said their FFE's from Joel are also due. Mine is as well. I tried contacting him on Saturday but he was in Chennai. Does anyone know the reason for this delay.

Hey Guys ... Just back from a 800 Km round trip to ooty ... The best ride of my life so far ... Bike just performed like a charm !

, but again the sprocket holder nut came off on the ghat section which was a bit frightening , but other than that ... FANTASTIC RIDE !!!!!

EDIT : 15T Setup not advisable on the twisties if riding with pillion ...

Even I reverted to 14T setup yesterday. My bike felt sluggish and didn't even reach 110 KMPH on highways with the 15T setup whereas on stock it used to touch that speeds easily.

Ghat section and with a pillion was a strict no for 15T setup. Everytime I used to downshift to pull properly. This was not the case with 14T stock. So reverted to 14T stock setup and when I opened the throttle after the changes there was a big smile on my face

.

I am loving the stock 14T setup now.

15T is fine if you are okay with the sluggish pickup in every gear. I didn't like it at all and it a strict NO if you are planning to ride in hills. The stock works like a charm and pull effortlessly in any gear.

With the stock setup it reaches 60 in no time. I am lovin it

Just as I was getting out of ooty limits , cop waves me down to stop ...

Cop :Where are you headed ?
me : Gudalur , from there to Bangalore ...
Cop : And all the way by bike ????
me : **thought** like duh !!! , but said "Yes Sir" ...
Cop : Blank look followed by one like this

... and then with a sheepish look on his face , he goes " ok , he he he , I'm running very late , can u drop me off at gudalur ... ? "
me : **thought 1: well if u actually "ran" anywhere you would be much better off** ... **Thought 2: Gosh , this bloke's way past 90Kg's and I have 45Km of the twisties to go through

... ** ... but I said " ermm ... Ok sir"

About an hour later , I made up my mind ... 15T on the hills with pillion absolute NO NO ...

I pity what the poor thing would have to go through, especially on those twisties. Treat her to good oil next service

Please suggest tyres..

Hey guys!
can anyone please suggest me a good pair of tyres for FZ, I am not satisfied with the stock MRF ones. Please mention the price also.
Thanks

**vinchel** · 09-05-2011, 02:02 PM

Hi,
I managed to bring my FZ from my hometown Trichur, Kerala to Chennai and in the process, the clutch handle has broken free and am unable to shift gears. (Just don't trust bike transport by multi-axle bus . Those >

)...

Managed to ride the bike in second gear and transport it to my flat. Now have to go in search of repair shops to replace the clutch handle.

Is is required to replace the full clutch wire or just the handle would be enough?
Also can I do it from any local mechanic?

just the handle will do. btw you can force shift your gears in case of emergencies without the use of clutch... just roll of the throttle and shift...
