    Yeah we all know the length increase mod that he has done to his bike's handle.. But does that increase the performance in any way

      Probably; when the PSI increase can increase in 4 Kmph regardless of the RPM, why not this one

        Mate: Hope you are quoting both the front and the back together. They are retailing at about 2500 - 3000 Rs for the front and 3500 - 4000 rs for the rear, depending on the city

            So changed oil again today at 450kms (castrol powerone 10w30 )

            Found more imri then 1st time in drained oil.. So decided to open oil filter.. What I saw was mess.. Oil filter was almost 80% blocked by imri.!! So changed it immidetly bike now feels super smooth..

            howcome company advice for 1st service at 1000 n then at every 6k kms..!!
            wow, thanks appugodara on "imri". I will change oil & filter between 200-300km too.

              Actually I got this info from fellow xbhpian (Rahulbarik), who was in tyre hunt for his FZ.. He said the above mentioned price was quoted by one of the dealer here in Kolkata.. 3500 - 4000 seems meaningful, as the Contigo 140-70/17 retails at 2650/- here..

                Yes, it's kind of overpriced here in Kolkata. Although 7k seems over the top.

                Ahh!! Any more way to increase the speed at the same RPM? I'm already without the whole fairing, on my bike, if you want to suggest that.

                • Guys as posted, I booked a red one. Waiting for the cheque to clear.

                  But if i can do this to the black - it will look legen-wait-for-it-dary (how I met....)



                  any pointers on how much it will cost to powder coat the alloys and do paint job on the layers?. I asked palace honda(mysore) they said I will have to give it outside .

                        No not from ASC. It is from the tyre dealer.. AFAIK ASCs don't deal with tyres..

                        Maybe you can try inflating your bike's tyre with halogen and see if it flies
                        Jokes apart, I feel very sad when I see your CeeBee without those fairings..

                          • I have decided not to pay attention to that vibration till i go in for a paid service at 2k kms
                            But as of now i am in love all over again with the bike. Post 1.5k she's been roaring like a lion and now easily revvs upto redline without a glitch(second gear still a bit of a mess though but maybe il sort it out during service)
                            She just pulls pulls and pulls in every gear and just managed to hit a 120 in no time on a very short stretch of road
                            All in all except for that body vibration i am a happy customer


                            P.S: how do i remove a vinyl sticker? Some idiot has stuck an alphabet "S" on my visor right below my number sticker. It seems to be of the same material and the same glue. Cant peel it off. I dont think it is advisable to use chemicals on that visor either. So what to does?
                            Got a $5 head? Get a $5 helmet.

                                Ya actually I was about to go for Pirelli. At that time Continental guys called me and said they will replace the tyre. 7K done and paid a depreciation/wear amount of 750Rs and got a new tyre.
