^^ could not check because 5th was great till 125-127 kmph. Then shifting into 6th had no apparent improvement on the acceleration due to the higher gears

Yep! The one coming from Battery. Where does it lead to? I mean.. is it connected to anything on either ends? I found it loose from both the ends.Originally posted by jd666 View PostComment

^^ no its a drain/overflow pipe. Just connect it to the battery, and route the other end in such a way that it reaches below the exhaust box. So you will have to route it somewhere around the mono shock. Also secure it with a aluminium/metal wire at the battery by twisting the wire around the pipe like a clamp, so that it doesnt fall out.

Thanks xtreme! The problem is, my Bike drags me to the extreme RPM.Originally posted by xtremeillusion View Post
And I want to ask this badly:
Some say that, if we drive our new bike within 65 kmph till the first service, the mileage of the bike will be in a good rate and we need not worry about the mileage thereafter no matter how rashly we drive.. Is it true or a myth?2005- Hero Honda Passion

Myth i feel, I never crossed 50 kms before 1st service, still it gives around 30 kmpl now.Originally posted by Jaghanivasan View PostThanks xtreme! The problem is, my Bike drags me to the extreme RPM.

More than the top speed its the rpm at which u run your bike and the way you ride it. Upshifting at about 4.5k and downshifting at 2k should get you good FE also no sudden accel and decel. Of course that makes the bike less fun. But isnt life always a trade-off...Originally posted by shamanthnv View PostEveryone falls down, doesn't matter...

Why... i mean why would anyone do that??? Please tell me you've reverted it... Its like cruelty to the bike.Originally posted by jd666 View Post

20-25 is very very surprising.. Just control your urges for a month and then run it freely. Just keep in mind that the bike would have to be with you for the next 5-6 yrs. (I guess no idea how long guys normally keep these days.)Originally posted by Jaghanivasan View PostHi. I got my new Yamaha FZ 16 Black this tuesday. The ride is so smooth and it has complete balance in the corners. But the mileage is just 20-25kmpl..
Is there any chance to improve the mileage?Everyone falls down, doesn't matter...

uh to check/experiment??? i dont think it was that cruel, compared to what people revert to doing to their bikes. Sprocketing works both ways, And i feel that a smaller sprocket on the rear wheel of the R15, would do good for cruising or on a long ride/highway, where a efficient cruising speed is more important than out right acceleration.Originally posted by dude_phenom View Post

I too feel that. But I want to confirm this with experts. That is why I placed my question here..Originally posted by shamanthnv View Post
Ya. I have to cross my fingers and have to control myself atleast a month. But this is just like keeping yourself in diet. Very toughOriginally posted by dude_phenom View Post.
And one more question:
I am taking my bike to my college (29kms) complete highway. Some of my guys advice me that, "Don't take your bike straight to the highway. Allow it to get practiced in streets or in city roads etc etc etc".. Should I go with this advice?2005- Hero Honda Passion

@jd666 bhai Have tried n tested any solutions to make the FZ's gearing taller.. Or any sugestions?"I set out running but I take my time, a friend of the devil is a friend of mine. If I get home before day light, just might get some sleep tonight" - The Grateful Dead.

^^ you gotta check whats the front sprocket size of the FZ. on the R15 its 14T. if the FZ is 12-13 ( though i doubt it ), then you can go for that. Else gotta think of a custom sprocket at the back.
Alternatively you can fit a higher profile rear tyre, like a 120-130/ with a higher side profile. This will increase the overall diameter of the rear tyre, giving you slightly higher gearing, but at the loss of the handling that you are used to, and modding it slightly.
