Thats good , All I could manage on that stretch was 115kmph ...

This is tempting me to go for the upgrade , but I have made up my mind not to spend on this bike anymore ...

Here is the pic of the set up i will upload the rest in the evening...I spent 3k for the full Angel Eyes Assembly...

Hey guys, i am new here. Recently ran into some problems with my bike. I was in 2nd gear ,tried to just accelerate, the bike just shut down with a jerk(not the console or lights),the engine emergency light just came on during that time for 2-3 seconds,then the engine came back to life again. What could the problem be. Any help would be appreciated.

Guys, the fork oil seals on my Fazer have gone bad.. and new ones are not available across any SVC in Mumbai area..

Would it be alright for me to ride the bike with damaged oil seals.. ? I ride the bike to my office daily and cant afford to do without it. What precautions can I take to minimize the damage?

There are a few other things that I wanted to check with you guys..

- After riding the bike on high speeds for a long stretch, the bike feels much smoother on the lower revs too.. does it really happen or it just *feels* that way.. ?

- While turning on the corners, I find turning towards left much more easy and comfortable than on the right.. Is it just me or is it a common phenomenon?

does that means you are going for a new bike??

o now i remember that road u ppl r talkin bout.....i knew it as NICE road....wen we rode down to Blore n had to go to joels workshop we had used this road....n i was riding ma friends R15....remember touching 140 :-D


Where do u live in mumbai.....u can try gettin dat part at Santa Cruz Milan sub way.....cos that shop there always has any parts of FZ....or he will get it for u.

Looks like a charm ma friend... Exactly wat im lookin for... Fill us in with some more details on it.. and is the Angel eyes LED or CCFL? HID Xenon/Bi-Xenon?? etc Also some info bout ur experience with it would be gr8 . . .

I have N250R plans , but not anytime soon ...

NICE road is different , ORR is different ... Yes NICE road you can easily hit 140 plus .

^^^ go for it man.... N250 is a gr8 bike...

What is the symptom of Oil seals gone bad ? I believe you have to be careful on bad roads. Try to get it changed as soon as they become available.

- A warm engine will always feel so. The oil would have reached every nook and corner possible and compression also would have reached the ideal state. I can't explain technically, Sorry.

- I believe it is because most of us are right handed and can distribute the weight that way. I too have had the same feeling.

Have you also noticed that, we always hop on the bike and also push the bike from left.

Try pushing the bike from right and see how uncomfortable you feel

I hope to , still a long way away ... but I guess I don't want to upgrade the FZ , If i'm going to change it .

Bad bad day!

Hey Guys,

Thought I'll share my horrible experience here.
Today I had been to shell petrol bunk (Whitefield road, Bangalore )to put Shell Advance engine oil. Everything was going, the oil was drained properly. But then the mechanic said the bolt is not sitting back properly. It was because that guy had over-tightened it, because of which the threading on the engine side of the oil tank had gone off, and the bolt is not sitting tight any more.
Initially the SHELL guys said they will repair my bike, But when I inquired the showroom guys, they said it will take at least one full day to repair the threading. SHELL guys stance began to change and the after some time of frustration, I decided I'll file a complaint against shell for damaging my bike.

After I showed signs of lodging a complaint, they said they'll pay for my bike repair. But, They weren't ready to give me any written guarantee for the same. But after persistent request, they paid 700 rs now, and they said they'll pay the remaining after receiving the bill from showroom. I decided not to file a complaint for now.

Having somehow come to an agreement, the SHELL guys put some thread tape and fitted the bolt. Put back the engine oil and then I was off to the showroom. Once I reached the showroom (PANACHE, Indiranagar) I see that engine oil is started to leak. When I talked to those SVC guys, they said they were full and not ready to keep my bike for the weekend and I need to come back on Monday. Since the engine oil was leaking, they gave me an empty can and told me to keep under the leaking oil once I reach home. I will have to refill the oil on Monday and go back to the showroom.

This has been a very horrible experience so far, Just hoping that everything will go well on Monday.

Can anyone tell me if I have done enough on this ? Should I be doing anything else now ? For the bike maintenance or to address the SHELL guys ?
