            Guys , just came back from a 700kms round trip to Chennai ... Was amazing as I didn't see the speedo drop below 100 for 75% of the ride ... , bike suddenly felt super smooth towards the end of the trip , But I do feel my chain and sprocket has gone bad , I tightened the chain just a week back , didn't do any riding at the time , but now it has become loose again ... Max speed achieved was 121kmph ...

            P.S : I'm now pretty sure it is the chain n sprocket set thats conked out ... So whats the approx cost of the new set ?

            how many kms on the odo?? i think the total set cost should be under 3k.

            cheers

              • Hey Frnds i think my FZ has a serious problem.....

                its uses more oil than required.. i use a semi synthetic oil and roughly before 2000kms the oil comes to an end..... everyday when i start my bike in the morning i can see smoke from the exhaust....

                today i tried adjusting the carburetor but the screw that needs to adjusted as hard was stone, it wont move in either of the direction...

                plz help me....

                  Yeah i have got myself a Custom Made Sponge type Air Filter for ma bike of PiperCross

                  Pros - Increase in bottom end torque right from 2000 rpm.
                  Increase in Pick up and revz shoot like a turbo kick after 4000 rpm
                  Can be reused when it gets dirty after a through wash

                  Cons - Gets dirt faster den stock paper type air filter (2000 km roughly)

                  all the mentioned above r ma personal experience.

                    looks like her piston seal is damaged/loose. A bad cylinder head could cause this. Ask a mechanic to check both these things !

                      • I got a chance to check the FE. I have got 43-44 kmpl the last 2 times I checked. Till now I have been feeding her only shell Super Unleaded.

                        My riding style is somewhat sedate. I don't rev beyond 4k RPM in any gear and max I have pushed till now is 72 kmph.

                        • 7th paid service today.

                          Noticed that the engine and area around the carbs is getting unusually warm. Bike vibrates more than usual after 7000 RPM.

                          Is it the bike getting old or is something wrong? Anyone else experienced this?

                            yup its time to change the chain and the sprockets... average life of the chain and the sprockets is 18-23,000 kms go for the stock ones and dont do experiments .. so far the reports of the stock are really good.. hope you have been lubricating the chain every 500 kms..


                            cheers

                              hi,

                              in between i would suggest to redline her on every gear (8.5 - 9 k).. it actually helps keeping the engine healthy believe it or not.. keeps the carbon deposition on the piston and the valves out and is kinda workout session for your engine internals as well... provided you follow the service schedule by the book..

                              in my case i have done nonstop crazy redlinings in between for good 500 kms and she is still returning a healthy 36-38kmpl.. yet to test the figures post FFE installation results..

                              cheers

                                i have a doubt that the culprit: piston rings have worn out.. usually happens when the engine is running low on engine oil and yet one revs it like crazy or when the engine has still not set in and one starts using semi synth or full synth.. before 5000 kms and starts redlining or does harsh riding...

                                get the bike checked immediately checked at svc.. and K&N absolutely no no..

                                cheers
