as per oil is concerned:
you can go for motul semi synthetic costs 450rs per bottle. no use of going to full synth. if you want better mileage and a smoother ride i will recommend you to use shell petrol only.... costs aroun 2rs/liter more but will improve you mileage by at much as 3-4 kmpl.
as per better illlumination is concerened there are two ways to achieve those:
1. go for 35 HID. costs 3000rs(One year warranty) . or 55W HID(both high and low beam HID) without warranty you can get those things for around 1000 bucks.
2. go for a 55/55W H4 bulb. (normal pne costs around 200-250rs, osram NB and philips will cost around 600rs).
the illumination evenfrom the 35W HID will be better then a 55W halogen bulb.

Hey Kinushk,
Thanks a lot for the reply. I think il go with semi synthetic oil

. Are there any specification for that?

And coming to headlight bulb, hw much does a osram NB 35W will cost?? same 600rs??

Cheers.

you can go for motul 15W50 semi synth. it works fine for our weather and bike.

osram NB doesnt come in 35W rating. actually it is a bulb for car headlights and even finding a retailer who is willing to give you one piece is tough.

but datz utter bullshit......i know engineers who have been working for last 5-6 years and the max they draw is 30-35000.

For that long and thoughtful comment, you did not need to quote/ paste the whole post

About "middle class: engineer salary: if you call 5-6 years "experience", I will call myself Mathusalem (check Google)!
You could have noticed, reading with some more insight, that the question is not whether the "grass is greener on the other side" or not, but on a bit better understanding of your huge, old, and complex nation, about which this forum makes me getting more and more curious.

Sorry guys if such questions are totally Off the Topic, and thank you to Abhimanyu34 who is the only one who accepted to give an embryo of information. I shall however not bother you with such OT post any more, and those who will be kind enough to inform, please PM me.

Oh...!!! Ok ok..
Kinushk and guys over here, i am facing a problem.

Everytime i go thru a speedbraker, the bike's stand or something hits the speedbraker. Is this normal??? is the ground clearance so low for fz???

If not then let me know hw do i correct it??

Cheers..

it depends on the speed breaker and the speed you are going at.... my bike's center stand as also scrapped some speed breakers because the speed was a bit high or i was carrying a pillion......

the question should be does your bike bump with each and every spped breaker you encounter even at a slow speed of around 7-10kmph.

check your tyre pressure as well....

yep it is the stand that hits the speed breaker ... quite common with the FZ .

Although if you do want to correct it , I mean you can reduce the problem not eliminate it ... Just switch the rubber bush that's on the stand to the exhaust . you will clear up some space ... 2 minute job . Be sure to fit it from the top else it won't make any difference .

Yes kinushk it bumps to almost all speedbrakers(which are a bit on higher side in height) with a pillion at low speeds 7-10kmph.

Now the question is , does it happen if you're riding solo ? If yes , then
1. your rear shock might be on a soft setting . ( unlikely )
2. the air pressure in the tyre is messed up ( most likely ) ... If not , then read on

Hmmm.. there is a rubber bush on the main stand right , now when you go over the speed breaker , the stand hits the exhaust . the rubber bush is the cushion , else the sound of the stand hitting gets very uncomfortable , Now you will see that there is a provision on the exhaust to fit the bush , just fit it in there ... like a normal screw .

, takes a bit of work .

(or, thinking positive, let's say "hopefully"!)

this mod gets finally done, that will surely have to be called: " the bumpy road to FZ-20!"

No issues

, on another note , I think it is better to follow the method on the link itself ... rather than trying to fit it on the exhaust .
