  • Guys currently I'm using 35W Philips stock headlamps.

    I need more power headlamps but no compromise on current consumption since I don't have kicker.
    Please suggest any such headlamp with power rating and cost.

    thanks in advance

        check for wheel bends and microscopic punctures or leaks from previous ones..... the best way to do that is fill your tyre with a bit more than recommended tyre pressure i.e. around 35-36 psi should do and then use soap water to detect for the leak.

            after finding the leak get it repaired and then take the tyre pressure back to recommended one....

            • Guys need some help from you... need to change my fazer battery. As you know its 12v 5 amp battery. Currently stock is Minda. Can you guys please tell me what brand should i go for. Exide SC is near to my house. Now another confusion that i have is that i am using 2 HID's at the same time . I have heard some bikers are upgrading from 5 amp to 9amp batteries. Can it be done directly or do i need recoiling. The main thing is that i drive with lights ON on Highways (2*hid's)(day+night). so i need some good batteries. I hope you guys understand what i mean to say. please help

                is your current battery draining out faster then required? if yes then go for 9amps otherwise just go for a Maintenance free 12V 5 Amp baatery, I dont think you woul be needing coil rewinding for a 9 amp battery....

                    Hey christo... going a little OT here... is that your bike on the Wikipedia page of Yamaha Fazer?

                    The photo looks to be the same

                        • One of the screws with which the fuel tap is attached to the tank is showing signs of leakage..can I get it replaced under warranty? Bike is 10months old.

                          • have you tried to tighten the screw?

                            Its such a simple fix (well for me it is) I wouldn't bother with going to SVC.

                            • Hi Mik,
                              In my ride, in centre stand if clutch in & shift to 1st gear, the wheel rotates slowly before I release the lever.
                              Is it normal?
                              Does it means even when I pull in the clutch lever completely, still clutch is engaged partially?
                              How to adjust the clutch so that wheel will not spin? through free play adjustment?

                              Thanks in advance.

                                Most people say that if i install 9 amp battery recoiling is required because there won't be enough charge produced to recharge the batery....
