If u like pulsar then go get it.... It is u who will ride the bike, one can give u suggestions but the ultimate choice is yours....

I guess you just need to change your gear shift pattern.. upshift at 7000 rpm and it would be much easier to hit the top speed and redline.. and yeah the faring on my Fazer does help in cutting the wind thrust..

I tried such upshifting and it seems to work, but as I said before, not much of a road to need such speeds.

I had a mishap yesterday. in a busy slow traffic a guy in innova car hit me from behind while attempting to overtake me from the left and I fell down, my helmet came under his rear tyre and slid to the side and I rolled over the edge of the road to avoid any vehicles. The traffic police stopped that guy when he tried to run away. Fortunately no damage to me as I was wearing my jacket, gloves, helmet and jeans. The guy just finished his +2 and had no control of the car. His parents were called and took the bike to service centre, got an estimation of damages and his dad paid up the amount including traveling charges for me to get the spares. I think that guy will never be allowed to ride that car again by the looks of it.

I had to replace the centre tail peice with the logo on it, front headlight cover, left side panel and get the bends on the fairing frame fixed and all ti cost about 2500rs including service. I am glad the bike escaped major damage.

And one more thing is the same people who used to criticize my safety gear now have come to appreciate the practical use of it and the funniest thing is all the riders near the place of accident were seen buying helmets the same evening. They have seen my head slide off the rear tyre without being crushed that is why I think.

Modding your Fz16's tail

Guys have you ever considered modding your Fzs tails. Something like the one in the pic.

@surampudijagadeesh
thank god that you are ok when will get the bike from svc ask them to check the forks also

@mizt
my personel opinion i didn't like it without the mudguard and where will the indicators and plate come
but the led tail light looks cool :-)

I got the bike ready at 11.30pm yesterday itself. and yes I got the forks checked and all the bends straightened. Now the bike looks as new when it was out of showroom. I rode home 50km to home then itself since i had no other place to stay for the night. I went to the spares shop myself and got all the required items and had the job done. The mechanic is a good person and he is one of my bank's customers. And for the good job done I offered a few hundred bucks for the mech

One intersting fact that I found about the showroom guys. As I needed a vehicle to go around while mine was under repair, I requested a vehicle, if any, they could provide. The showroom guy offered the keys of a new fz. I noticed while riding that the odo was disconnected. So the conclusion is even if the odo shows you 0km when we receive our "brand new bike", it might have already run for a few hundred km.

Indicators are intergrated in the tail light!! Number plate I have no idea...
Took this pic from a philippines forum.

Thankfully nothing serious happened to you . Let this news be shared with everybody so that each one of us understands the importance of safety gears and if not everything ,the most basic thing i.e. a good and strong helmet.
And by the way you were wearing which company's helmet , putting its name here might just boost up its sales ;-) :-D

Interesting piece of information but can't we reset the ODO to zero ,hope thats also possible .

Which type of petrol you use ?

Which type of petrol you use ?

I use IOC Xtra Premium but I had read somewhere on this forum that thise type of high octane petrol has some negative effects on the engine in the long run (I mean when used for many years not the touring long run :-D )

Guys got my bike repaired yesterday..total cost 6.4k
Got new headlight dome,as the connector was broken..can't see why Yamaha makes us change the whole thing for one small damage
Dome costed - 2.1k..
LHS fairing -350
RHS inner fairing -350
Front fairing -600
Fairing stay/clamp -720
Crash guard(new type) -650
Fork O/H and bend removal - 450+650
Bolts/Rubber Net - 350

These were all damages from my 2-3 crashes while I was still learning proper riding and was getting used to the bike..about 10 months ago..finally got them repaired..but the price

Glad you are okay man anything could have happened in such a situation..seems like your helmet directly saved your life

OMG!! Thank god you are safe... Riding gear is really essential as there are so many idiots on the road these days.. The whole of my office staff made fun of me when I bought the RJay's Swift jacket for 6K.. everyone took potshots at me for that purchase.. but I knew how important that investment was .. and guess what.. it has already helped me survive a few crashes already..

thats a big list man
you didn't get it repaired after those happened
ya yamaha spares are costly
hey can you post the pic of the new crash guard on the bike



@surampudijagadeesh
ya thats new hope you rode the bike in the run in limits else it would have been real injust for the person who wil buy it later



@yamahafazer
i use normal petrol mainly from the same indian oil pump near my home
indian bikes are designed to work on normal petrol
some say that permium fuel return better mileage just 1 or 2 km extra

Any news about Joel's exhaust. It has been 3 weeks since ordering. Any of you guys called him yet?

hey guys,

just came back from a 1180km ride over the weekend.... the bike is amazing....

I replaced my handle bar end caps today and I noticed massive rusting inside the handle bars!! Guys checks yours too. I just put in some oil to prevent it from getting worse.
