2010 fazer (Lucky Luc) has the same wiring as my 2011 FZS.... We both bought our CDI's from the same guy.

@ All: i hope you guys realise that there is a serious amount of OT on KTM on an FZ/Fazer thread. Would request to kindly discuss it on KTM thread.

Lets keep this thread clean before mods come chasing and editing all the posts.

all in good faith

Cheers,

By pre-2011, I meant the original and upgraded versions. Many parts have been changed in FZ's in India with the launch of the kick-start version. Complete FZ series same the underpinnings as far I know. For further clarification, please confirm with YMI

Not only OTs, there are lots of crap and false informations being posted here. Fed up correcting them n times and now refraining from responding to such posts.

Newer FZ's have a different clutch plate or Driven Gear too.

Has anyone bought any HIDs from MXSMOTOSPORT?

I just gave my fz for a red-based paint job, and I'd love to have red demon eye lights on it
This is the image from their website:





Any info pertaining to demon lights is appreciated too.

Cheers

^ I bought the entire headlight assembly from them, installation is a piece of cake & is running fine..

Fazer Dual light setup.

May I kindly request that you explain how this (anyway: short!) discussion on the comparative merits of a FZ and a KTM would be more OT on the FZ thread than on a KTM one if it was moved over there???

I would sincerely like to have the moderators opinion on this....but maybe just mentioning this is OT???

FZ -16 Factory Default Carb Settings

Do you guys have an idea of the factory default settings of the A/F ratio on the FZ-16 Carb ?

Thank for this schematic Christo....but I do not understand it very well!

Would you please mind clarifying this sort of "double setup": two light all the time OR one for each use...???

Actually, since the HID projectors are quite small while the space for lights on the Fazer are large, it seems to me that interesting setup may be to have two medium power projectors each side, both able to give high and low beam simultaneously, plus two smaller, long range ones, on high beam only of course, of lower power (otherwise I am afraid the alternator would not be able to cope with that four lights demand and the battery run flat pretty fast). This would be somewhat similar to some rally car setups....(minus the fog light of course!).

I found the lights on the Fazer a bit disappointing when I compare to the setup I have on my other bike (a Chinese, but very well built tourer): One big central light with a H4, and two long range additional lights. Very good light all over the road with the big one, excellent when needing to "have a look farther" with the long range ones...and occasionally very efficient to attract other divers attention (or to ask them to get in low beams!)

Has anyone tried/ heard of/ studied such a four projector (four eyes!) setup on a Fazer?

Hi mate

My Fazer is a 2011 model . That may be why I cannot plug-in our CDI either!

Your and my stock CDI have a built in eight pin plug plus a two pin one at the end of a wire, while what we received has an eight pin plug (out of which seven actually exist) plus another four pin (into which only two wires are connected), plus another two pin plug that is short circuited. Does that look like what has got older (2010 or earlier) models ???

I would add that the seller did inform me that, when fitted, the red "engine malfunction" light will not come up anymore. Not really "plug-and-play"!!!!

Anyway: would any here know of any dual band CDI, preferably programmable, and that would really fit our 2011 models? Joel sells such a CDI but does not respond to my mails (too busy...or sectarian?) and I do not know if it can be fitted on my bike. Can someone inquire?


Edited to add: the moderators/ forum "police" recommend that "multi quote" gets used instead of multiple messages. Does that apply to a post with various responses to various subjects or only to posts with multiple responses to basically the same subject?
Anyway: could one kindly tell me how to do it a simple and convenient way, without resourcing to multiple come-backs and copy-paste of the quoted message, and use of multiple "[" and other "(backslash)]" etc...???

Thanks

Fz carb jet size

Hi,

I would really appreciate if anyone could let me know the size of the main jet on a FZ carb.

Thanks !

There is a little plus button next to the quote option on the right hand bottom corner luke ... click on that button for every post you want to quote and then hit reply and you're good to go

P.S : Changed my Engine oil today , which was 300kms overdue . Stuck to the usual motul 300v factory line . The previous change was at 16300 on the odo , currently at 21700kms ...

synthetic engine oil..

Hey guys,
my dad owns a 2009 fazer, which i ride.
it has completed 6600kms till date,
but the engine has become a tad rough and the acceleration has also become hard, i am not feeling the same smoothness as before.
Around 5000 kms my dad changed the engine oil with synthetic engine oil(total quartz fully synthetic) which was left after he used it for his swift.
The oil can be used for 10000 kms for the car, can i use the oil for 10000 kms or need to change it and is it the problem of the engine oil or something else???

Car engine oils should not be used on bike was it the same grade recommended for FZ 15w50
