I have not yet gone for the big bore but have ordered the ffe. I will ride to bangalore next month with the ffe fitted and get the big bore done. By the time I reach home with the mod, the run in will be almost over and I will test it for the performance after that. Hope I could persuade my manager for the leave somehow.BreaklessBiker -
why-o-why is yamaha not doing this themselves already?!Originally posted by rohan_5013 View PostThe mileage figures are about 5kmpl more than what I get at those conditions,33 in thrash mode and about 40 at 70kmph on highways..
Joel can also send the big bore to your place I believe,but the problem is the fitting
I went to the workshop and saw the bike completely disassembled..even the exhaust,so I guess you would have to know a really skilled mechanic to get it fitted locally.It took 3 days in my case..but it usually takes about 2 days..again,not sure about this
..better mileage and better ridability is always welcome..man,they shud hv released a mid life update for the fz by nw..anyways,does undergoing the mod cause a decrease or any deleterious effects to the engine life/engine as a whole in the long run???any info bout this..
@all,has anyone down here in kerala got this done?!bangalore-cochin ride is way too long for a visit to joel..

I too have the same problem with visiting Joel's place. But after reading other peoples inputs who have already gone ahead with the big bore I feel it is a worthy expenditure. It would have already been done if not for my impatient brother.Originally posted by senotrius View Postwhy-o-why is yamaha not doing this themselves already?!..better mileage and better ridability is always welcome..man,they shud hv released a mid life update for the fz by nw..anyways,does undergoing the mod cause a decrease or any deleterious effects to the engine life/engine as a whole in the long run???any info bout this..

This is the character of every Fz..it just struggles past 100 and my bike sometimes does not even touch 100 on the uphill,windy region in NICE RoadOriginally posted by surampudijagadeesh View Post
After the big bore,the one time I opened the throttle and hit 97,it felt like she was doing 75..not stressed at all and the pick-up is crazy..it will only get better with the exhaust

Akhil's RTR (the white one). Mech screwed up the piston rings, so Lijo had to revert to 180 CC stock bore. After issues with cop, he decided to get rid of the exhaust, so sold off to AKhilOriginally posted by Aneesh@4GHz View PostWhose RTR?

The daily route I take to office only has about 8km of stretch where I could go beyond 100, but on saturday it is a half-day work for me so I ride about 150 to 250 km till I get tired and want to go home(which never happened so far). Sometimes I even forget about breakfast, lunch or dinner and go along where my instinct takes me and obviously enough I get to meet some wackos who want to race. On roads with more corners the stock bike has much chance to answer such people but on open roads it definitely needs improvement. And that was what I was looking for and I am glad that xbhp answered my quest when I discovered about Joel here. Everyone seems to be happy with his work and I want to join the band as well.BreaklessBikerComment

Nope.My stock does 120+ every time i want to.I have redlined at 5th @127kmph for long while touring too.Originally posted by nand15 View Post
Thanks.Please do keep updating with your experience's.Originally posted by Duoscribe View Posti managed to hit 125kmph fully crouched with the new bore.. ironically this was the top speed on stock as well. but the big diffrnce is with stock the bike always felt out of breath after speeds of 110. now its a diffrnt scene. i hit the redline at 9k rpm. cud have pushed it even more but backed off.. its a sweet ride now. on highways & out of cornersSmoke rubber,not tobacco.
