    Hi all,

    I'm having a tough time with my FZ. Yesterday, I went to ride with my group some 150 kms from Pune. The bike went just once past 105 kph mark that too on the downslope. I was finding it rather difficult to cope up with the speeds of Pulsar and CBZ. And to add to my frustration level even more, I was driving alone while the Pulsar (220 and 150) and CBZ (old) were having pillion riders. The bike didn't cruise at high speeds with acceleration at most times.

    Kindly suggest what can go wrong, that I'm lagging behind Pulsar 150 and even CBZ.
    bro FZ isn't known for it's top end ... whereas the pulsar 150 and 220 and CBZ are all better in this dept . but 105 on downslope is a bit off . I could do 115 on a straight with a 70kg pillion ...bike's stock .
    People ask me , why are you cribbing about the BHP ? to them I say "MORE is never ENOUGH" xbhp.com

      Thats a sorry state for FZ. I've also did a 105 kph with a pillion earlier but I donno what happened on Sunday's ride.

      I've even done a 120 kph on straight road.

      Hey can anyone tell me if the engine is affected if driven for sometime at 80-90 kph and then taken suddenly to 100kph mark??

            lucky dude...my fz gave 26.6 kmpl( full tank to nill) when i was maintaining 100 kmph(mostly early morning rides on the high way with almost no traffic) and then again,28kmpl averaging almost the same.but then my second service came along and also,i changed my riding and gearshift style(upshift at 4500rpm for third and fourth gear)...started from full tank,two bars have gone down and some,and 140 kms done.also,my torque isnt so bad from 80 till 100...but dies after 105...has gone up till 117 on the straight though.it seems different engines are giving different out put graphs...what up with that...
            In the end,it does matter.

              Before you wanna go on a long ride, make sure to warm up your bike well, cold engines don't respond to speed bursts, remember it is not a fuel injected bike.

              Shouldn't affect the engine!

              Get a teflon coating done no more than once in 6 months. You can wax your bike with normal wax polish once a month yourself. There is a thread on which Wax polish to choose, that will give you a fair idea of market products.

                Dn worry, it'll come back after 100 odd kms.. If still bothering u. take byke to Service station, they mite have tuned byke to a little Rich mixture (common thing they do after 1st service)

                          • Rear view mirror alignment

                            Hey guys,
                            I'm experiencing some problem with the side view mirrors. They are not properly extended for rear view. And with my DSG jacket on, I can't see a thing while driving and as such have to incline a bit to right side in order to see the oncoming traffic from behind.
                            Can anyone help me in this regard as to how can I set the mirrors properly?

                              im not sure but i guess you might be able to re adjust by tilting the mirrors by loosening the nut.

                                Hi,

                                I tried adjusting a lot but wid no proper setting. still everytime I align it, it looks like it needs to be a little more on the outer side.
