    My butt was aching so badly for the next two days. I added an extra layer of cushion to the seat. Not much of a difference though.

    Same with me... I guess the cushion of the stock seat hardens with time... So what cushion did you use? Is it the net seat cover from Yamaha original accessories? How much did it cost?

      The cool mesh seat cover yrom yamaha costs 1200
      but i have seen different seat covers on bikes at SVC which makes like the bike looks like having split seats

        well I wouldn't say 75 is FAT ... I'm about 73 odd ... but the Friggin cop was past 90 I'm sure as his belly preceded him everywhere and we all know the general state of our cops ... he was huge .

        The surprising thing here is I had no sore butt problems throughout the entire 800kms ... Because we took breaks at every 60 - 100 kms .

          on fz the butt starts to ache after around 120-140kms at a stretch.... again that depends on how much you ride....

          on my first ride i had to take a butt break after just 50 km. now i can go on for at least 130km without feeling a thing....

            FZ's rider seat is good IMO.Its as good as any other bike-i have done upto 550km in a day and never found it worse than other bikes.Its only the pillion that gives a pain in the ass.

            75kgs of fat vs 75 kgs of lean mass.huge diff :P

              True , the rider's seat is alright ... I prefer it to the P220's , thats kinda hard .

              I concur on the second statement too ... 6ft 73kg (me) is fine in comparison to a 5ft something 90+kg polar bear of a cop .

                stalling problem solved

                as usual the expected problem was the lower rpm
                but not as expected was the fact that the SV guys dint tune it enough to solve the problem when i took it to the service centre
                but with help of other Xbhpians i did it myself and got the bike to the dream she was when we started out..

                Thanks guys!!

                  Good

                  My bike was in rain and yesterday in noticed that when shifting from part to headlamp
                  everything goes off even the console light , park and headlight Called SVC they told that the contact of the switch is the culprit due to rains they asked me to bring it by to clean it
                  but i noticed if i give a small hit on the switchgear everything comes to life
                  Is there anything i can do my self

                    get a bottle of wd 40 and pour it in the switchgear assembly.... it will clean the insides just like new....

                          What wrong with the 15T sprocket i find it much better than the stock is it because i have got the Big Bore kit install

                            Ride on the hills with a pillion and see the response ... Although I do believe that the big bore could make a difference ... it's ideal for the highway , that is for sure ... not so for the hills
