I hardly doubt if it may affect stability of the bike by large margin...we have ppl here who used 130-70 size tyres for fz/fazie...they will be able to comment more.

But wats amazing me is if that guy can provide 130-70 for free then y not 140-60??....it may b his trick to squeeze in more money from you..... just try arguing with them regarding this....they may give in who knows.....worth a try though

He said 140-60 tyres are not being provided by MRF as a replacement. He said that they're changing the dye and are going to introduce a new model since the old Revz (140/60) has puncture issues. Still, I wasn't convinced so he called MRF's wholeseller and switched on the Speaker phone. The guy on the other side said a similar story.

I wasn't so keen on putting MRF Revz-S 130/70 R17 so he showed me MRF Revz-C 150/60 which he offered me at 600 bucks. I was tempted by the looks of MRF Revz-C but taking into account the mileage and rising cost of fuel, I went ahead with 130/70. Total cost = Rs. 200 + 20 tip.

I've attached the pics. Yes, the bike needs a good wash.

i am getting mileage around 41-43 KMPL when riding at splendour mode...and insane ( between 75-85 kmph) gives me 38-40 KMPL.....highest i got was 61 KMPL once... hehe.....bike - FAZER 2012

Sorry for the problems with the upload last time. Hope u all can see it now.

Hey all, this is a preventive measure for rusting and here I go with the process!
(NOTE: I have used some of the pics of other member's bikes.So please forgive,these are for explanatory purposes only)

THINGS NEEDED:

A set of Allen keys to open the tank panels
Screwdriver set
A Can of used engine oil
Grease
Gear Oil (If possible)
Knife
Toothbrush
Soap
Water
Mug/Bowl


It is a very time consuming process, so do it only when you have 2-3 hours of time at your disposal.


Other areas to be checked for rust:

The monoshock's lower part is very prone to rust.So first clean it thoroughly with toothbrush and soap to take off the dirt and mud,then apply grease/engine oil generously all over it.

Not supposed to be greased. Only the lower and the upper rubber mounts needed to be greased. If rust formation is found then use WD 40

The rear part of the catalytic converter also needs proper cleaning and lubing,to keep rust at bay. No need to take off the wheel Just dip the brush in oil and apply generously.

Again not needed. The exhaust is made of mild steel hence, the chances of increase in rust formation over a period of time is normal. If one uses oil or grease then once, the exhaust heats up don't be surprised if you get a burning smell from your engine.

Other parts are marked accordingly:
Do not use engine oil here,as it will drip onto the disk brake and braking will be affected.

Battery terminals need to be cleaned periodically and one should either apply lithium grease or use Petroleum jelly which is most effective. It will protect the terminals against carbon/sulphur built up which at times increases the resistance and leads to failure of the battery in getting charged and providing the charge to run the bike.

WD 40 recommended

[ATTACH=CONFIG]114745[/ATTACH]

No greasing or oiling required over the bolts. If one applies greasing on the bolts then the chances of them unscrewing by themselves becomes very high. Worst case scenario, if rust is observed then use WD 40.

A strict NO NO!! If the grease/oil find its way to thr brake calipers it will lead to front brake failure and can be fatal to the rider!! No greasing or lubing recommended!!

while downshifting the click is missing but it does not happens every time I downshift

Screeching sound coming from the Front Brake. Some odd 200kms left before i complete 11k. Time to change the pads or should i get it rubbed on sand paper?

Cheerz!!

Oh..this might sound crazy...but how about check the pads for wear and tear ....!!!!

Damn..i'm a frigging genius..!!!

Well, thanks. The pads will surely be checked.

Cheerz!!
