FZ/Fazer can hold for a drag till 60 easily, but after that Unicorn will surely beat FZ/Fazer and go ahead since it has a nice rev happy engine as mentioned out correctly by shv18.

forgot to mention about sprocketing mod. 15t instead of 14t... :-)

I don't buy your comparison about Unicorn. I have already ridden Unicorn before and I don't think it is as powerful as FZ. On paper we can see that Unicorn is less than FZ

----------- ----------Unicorn ---------- -------- FZ----------

Power --------13.3@8000 BHP@RPM---------14@7500 BHP@RPM---------

Torque ---------12.75@5500 [email protected]@6000 Nm@rpm-----------

Weight ------------- 146 kg--------------------------135 kg----------------


Looking all aspects even the weight: power Ratio Fz is ahead of Unicorn and how do say that Unicorn will beat Fz?

Because it is not just the power but the way it gets delivered to the rear wheel. In FZ's case the stock gearing is short by nature hence, quick acceleration. In other rides mentioned the gears are taller thus, compared to FZ they may have a slower start but at the end FZ/FAZER will run out of breath post 85 kmph, whereas other rides will keep on going ahead till 110+ kmph. It is that simple.


Cheers,

rak bro.. i just mentioned the facts that i experience on road every day.. for the last 9 months...oh sorry 8 months excluding the run in period..... only pusar can do a drag till 100 after which my fazzy overtakes ..slowly but steadilty...however after sprocketing this is much more easier....

Forget the tech specs, try on road

i try it 5 days in week.... :-)

I have owned both the bikes and i say this with experience. FZ can hold the lead till 50km/h, after that unicorn will hit its sweet spot with 3-4 gear at 7k and go past fz. this will continue if u drag for longer. This is just drag oriented story. On the other hand now when i ride my unicorn after the FZ, it feels like a dual sport bike and is definitely not as stable or flickable as the fz. U can reach higher speed and faster but u will never have the the amount of fun you have on the FZ.

Dont only look at the power. The main culprit here is the 140/60 section rear tyre also apart from the short gearing.

If you are talking about drag races at signals then I always avoid doing that. One cannot say who wins and who lose just based on signals drags. From my experience till date stock FZ will always be ahead till 60KMPH if gear shifts are correct, but after that it loses out. All my neighbours have FZ's. Since I have used all of them frequently I will stand will by my words.

With sprocketing you will lose your bottom end. I did sprocketing for 1 month last year but again reverted to the stock setting of 14T. With 15T setup I was not impressed much. It might suit you, it all depends from person to person and riding skills.

If you are so keen.....plonk in an FFE n a gud FF air Filter.....& you would be Smokin a P180s arse...150s let alone....!!!

Do you mean that riding other bikes insanely (redlining) can beat FZ. The tall gear ratio and I'm supposing that. I never rode any bike insanely. I always try to beat others in cruising speeds with minimum redlining.

If what I meant is true then I'm very much happy with FZ. Because I don't want to mess up my babe's heart.

Well that's why it has been clearly mentioned DRAG.. Anyways, going crazy on streets is something I am personally against and so is xbhp. Enjoy your bike understand the art of cornering and braking. Once, you do so then you will come to know the true potential of this bike. She is an absolute bliss on corners, very eager, very responsive.

Cheers,

got a new mod in fz added 15t (cost 25rs) front sprocket of pulsar 150 . A driving of 11km the engine is getting over heat to much than the stock 14t . I like the 15t bcos its giving me less gear use in city ride n 3rd and 4th gear is o some.... i want to know that is it okie that engine is over heating too much kindly help me thanks ...

6,000 rpm (on cold start) and then pull the choke???? Are you guys nuts, or what?

I have rarely read something as senseless as this choke discussion right here (not only you, RAK)!

Just read the owner's manual before writing recommendation on a subject about which you know nothing! Sorry to be so abrupt, but it had to be said clearly!

The choke is there to reduce the quantity of air, while keeping the quantity of gas. This richer mixture will ignite better in COLD start than the normal running one. The choke has to be pulled before starting the engine, it is totally useless after (unless the engine keeps stalling, meaning you should have used the choke).

If the engine has been able to start and maintain a speed revved up to, say: 2,000 rpm (which one has to do by holding the throttle), that is all you need to do. Just warm up quietly, with the occasional very short burst up to some 4,000 rpm (NOT 6k!) if you wish. In our tropical countries (I mean South India, Vietnam, etc...) the choke should never be needed. In North India, where as far as I know, it can get damn cold, just pull the choke before starting, every time when it is cold!

If the engine stalls right after a start, that means you should have pulled the choke. Sometimes, it may be able to keep idling, but stops the moment you open the throttle. Should have used the choke there too. Once you can feel that the engine idles normally, push back the lever. It will then feel fine and not stall when opening the throttle.

There again: read the owners manual.

sprocket mod

fz stock sprocket front 14t rear 40t with 128 links

fz 15t with 40t with 130 links (for top speed)

fz 13t with 40t with 128links (for aggressive pick up)

thanks...
