      This is where I got it from ....

      Renthal 7/8" Handlebars - RevZilla

      The realized that it is also available here ....

      Renthal 1 1/8" Fat Bar 28MM Handlebars Handle Bar For Motorcycle Motocross Pit Dirt Bike ATV KTM EXC CRF WRF YZF KLX RMZ Enduro -in Grips from Automobiles & Motorcycles on Aliexpress.com | Alibaba Group

      If you ask me ... i'd go for second option. Aliexpress never disappointed me.

      Multiple ways to check for bent forks ... accurate ones need you to disassemble them. Take a flat metal bar, roll around tangentially and check if there is a non-tangential point.
      When I'm on the road, I'm indestructible. No one can stop me... but they try.

        What are the benefits of this? How does it change the handling? Does bike become more flickable?

          Its lighter than the standard handlebar .... slightly better flick ability. But its 5000 bucks ... so stupid decision of mine.

              Depends on how to deep the scratches are.

              Fzer 16 can be converted to FZ16, only some brackets will be visible after the fairing is removed

                  Check your chain for footpeg vibration.

                      I think it costs around rs.100 or so. Not that costly. Is the recommended to change at 12k intervals, but its upto you whether you want to or not. I also changed the plug after the first 12k kms. But after that, I didn't and its working fine even after 20k kms.

                      If the spark plug has gone bad, there will be extreme performance loss, knocking, difficulty in self-start etc.

                      Ride safe and have fun.

                            AFR adjusted for mileage just means that your engine is running lean which is not good for your engine. Also engine gets heard soon and you will lose on the top end.

                            Mileage depends on your riding style.

                            You need to be in the right gear at the right speed. Ride like a maniac and yes that mileage number drops very quickly in an FZ.
                            Check the chain slack and ensure proper lubrication at all times.
                            Quit using the clutch and let engine help you in braking.
                            Was the oil filter changed along with the oil. Was the retainer cleaned as well.
                            Maintain proper tire pressure.

                            A bike is like a woman ... Treat her right and she shows you heaven. Ignore her and be ready to face hell.
                            Disconnected choke cable from the lever increases 6 kms per litre! The choke cable was partially engaged all time that is the reason my bike gives low mileage.

                            Purchased a Michelin front tyre (for 1800 INR) , OE bearing set and fork razor set. Going to change it today.
                            I will let you know the mileage after replacing the tyre..

                              Strange that that would happen ... your engine should have revved higher and mechanic should have caught this. Anyways glad that you found it.

                              Why not check the life of your rear Tyre and change both at the same time.
