Hey Thanks for the reply, I usually ride in 2nd/ 3rd Gear in Traffic. And top gear on empty roads.Originally posted by shv18 View Post
And I dont rip the bike much, does it affect a lot? because my brother too rides the bike..

Mileage you are getting is perfectly normal for FZ or Fazer other than few exceptions.Originally posted by rahlp View Post---------------------

It's better try to ride avoiding clutch on low gears and use clutch only for gear changing. I sometimes even try to manage to troll without holding clutch in first and second gears. Practice and use clutch only when you are changing gears (it's traditional suggestion)

Hey Shiv
Thanks for your suggestions and now the bike feels smoother than before. I'm doing some aggressive gear changes @ 4-5 rpm ranges and also giving sudden bursts upto 6k RPM as you told and it works like a charm. Gear changes are getting smoother and smoother and bike engine feels smoother. And also liking people's attention on me. Just enjoying every bit with my baby.
Guys I wanted to ask a question about engine warning lamp when ignition switched is on. What's this lamp for? Will this lamp start blinking when the oil level is low or when engine gets extreme hot due to some other issues? Just wanted to know how this engine lamp warning light can warn us.
RegardsComment

Now think about it, Do you want to do the same to your bikes engine?
Ride to the road and traffic conditions, Make sure you are able to get out/away from trouble in an instant.
Being in 5th gear @30kph and something happened resulting in you needing to speed up to a safe/clear area, You will need to drop back to at least to 3rd or 2nd gear. That 1 - 2seconds needed to drop down gears and speed up and away will end up costing you dearly and possibly paying the ultimate price..... of your life.
All that for a few drops of precious petrol?
30kph I'm in 2nd gear or 3rd gear with instant throttle response, Never in top gear. I'm sure experienced riders will say something similar.2013 Ducati M795 with a few mods in here http://www.xbhp.com/talkies/superbik...95-owners.html

Try taking it out to 8k RPM. You bike's rings are already worn in, You won't be getting any more running in of your engine sad to say or happy to say.Originally posted by jonahmano View Post
Rings are run in within the first few minutes/kms.
That is for the TPS. Unplug it and your red engine light will turn on and stay on. There are no other sensors on the engine. Its a very basic "agricultural/tractor" engine.Originally posted by jonahmano View Post2013 Ducati M795 with a few mods in here http://www.xbhp.com/talkies/superbik...95-owners.html

Of course it is not advisable to remain in 5th all the time..
But if you are cruising at 80 and you spot a temporary barrier on the road and want to cruise along the way without changing gears or even putting brakes you can easily do that on this bike.. The downside is that you will lose a lot of time accelerating back to 80 in fifth gear.
I take full advantage of this feature on the bike to just relax and ride, no hassles of changing gears. Not good for street racers who will not go above 4th on city streets.
Also, riding at 30 in fifth is losing mileage and not gaining it. YAMAHA prescribes riding at 40-50 to get the max mileage from the bike. Saw some posters hanging at the svc an year back. I understand that shv is also aware of it.Comment

Thanks for filling in.. Yes Mik I meant that... If one constantly rides on 5th gear at low speeds.. That is putting more stress on the engine hence, not advised..Originally posted by muztariq View Post

Thanks for your advice. I'd rather trust on the creator (YAMAHA) than the creation (MIK). Anyways my bike is under warranty and whatsoever, engine re-building is 10 times cheaper than Vietnam.Originally posted by Mad Mik View PostComment

You cannot mix different oil with different grades. To answer your question when I did a top up, I used the same FS oil from the same brand with same grade.Originally posted by vinay1552 View Posthie shv going throw old post of fz16 forum saw your post and thinking

I know I have gotten into habit of using it a lot, makes me control it better.Originally posted by jonahmano View PostI think your carburettor hasn't been touched yet (stock settings).

I use it even when just slowing down the bike, I have to pratice to botuse it much.
I will surely keep the AFR setting in mind during my next service..
Also one more thing, does the type of fuel matter? I mean i have been using "speed" mostly for the bike but sometimes I have also used regular. so does the type of petrol matter. I have been advised by many to use "speed"Comment
