He He
For me day and night are all the same..
I normally sleep around 4 in the morning, and get up in the range of 9 to 12 pm.
last night i returned home at 12:30 AM from the mech, so thought why not bug you guys up...
Too much of movie watching before sleeping isn't a good habit.
If the movie turns up to be interesting, you forget your sleep.
Do this continuously every night for 3 years, and you won't even yawn at 5 in the morning.
People are addicted to Smoking and drinking, i am addicted to movies and games.
@ PSR
I did read the link you've send me, i have a proper and satisfactory comment on it, it will need a nice writeup, and I'd like to share it with you, so possibly tonight i'll send you a big and long PM.Giving a lot to a fiero.

@ gix
There's something i did to my bike that you might like
I've further lowered my handlebar, its almost flat now, and hence it have widened slightly more, its much comfortable (maybe i got used to it) and makes everything stable.
The bike feels big as well as strong now, if my tyres were good enough, i could easily scrape my Knees on the roads (instead of my footpegs like always) with these new rear-sets.
@ all
Is there any PERMANENT solution to the clutch slippage ??????
When you rode the classic fieros ,you missed out on mentioning the difference FZ handle makes to it's handling.Rather than the swing arm ,the handle makes a huge difference to handling,the weight bias that is.Of course ,it'd be asking too much ,if we ask them to go for rear sets.But these two make a HUGE difference,next on my agenda is a box section swing arm of the victor or the RTR,that is when the chain sprocket set needs replacing.
The clutch plates available are not OEM,the ones you are using are made of paper or cork base.The stock set are made of alloys and cost about 1500 bucks and used to be imported from JAPAN.Curiously enough the co has set up manufacturing in india since quite a few years now,but they aren't making our stock ones were as RTR's get them.
If you can source alloy clutch plates of centra ,or you have to ask your mech whether some adjustments could be made to fit the RTR set(the whole bell etc) then it would be better.
As i've said before,even with ripping the cheap local (paper)ones last like 15k kms on 180 fieros,but since there's more load on your clutch because of the alternator and maybe due to your riding style as well.You might have to live with it or do some more mod as well.Life begins, once you hit the power band !!Comment

Guys ... guys
makes me really wonder...
sometimes the bike feels really good - peppy and smooth and sometimes it feels like a bike from the Flintstones era or something. Like yesterday it had rained hard and was sort of cold... the ride felt lousy. This morning things were just fine.
That squeeky sound is coming from somewhere in the swing-arm region ... specially felt with a pilion. Guess I need to get the chain slack adjusted too.
Gixxer bro... what will the price difference be between Fiero stock mudguard and CT100? My cousin will be bringing it over so I might still be able to stop him.
and did you say the stock Fiero carb is set at 5 - 5.5 turns from extreme right (closure point)? is that the setting when brand new?
Guys ... give me your carb AF screw readings. Mine was set at 2.5 and felt rich.Comment

Firstly the price difference will be substantial i guess,as CT100 being a bajaj and also a bike still in production.So just ask him to get the CT100 one,if you see the photo album of my bike,it actually looks much better than stock.Originally posted by chief ashman View Post
Regarding the carb setting,yes that is the stock setting 5.5,but since you're bike seems to be running rich ,don't increase it further.The carb setting is per bike and it varies.
Try and check whether the swing arm bush is ok,that is with the center stand on,try to pull the rear wheel sidewards and if it doesn't move then it's fine.The squeaking noise might need some greasing.
With regard to the performance variance,it along with the carb setting and plug pic shows that the carb isn't in proper tune.Life begins, once you hit the power band !!Comment

@All
Correction folks.Even the paper ones,if they are not local will last as much as 50k kms(HONDA unicorn/extreme/hunk have paper ones).That too on big bore modifications(180/200) ,ZEN have been putting it on their bikes and are very confident of it and the life of the clutch plates made of paper depends on the adjustment to an great extent.Of course stunting lessens the life drastically.
With some modifications,even the RTR clutch plates can be put on fieros.
Another thing.The clutch front routing modification does work,it needs a different clutch arm and clutch cable of course.This modification is needed if you are not using half clutch.That is,for those who prefer the clutch lever to be affective to the last degree to engage and disengage.
All these need modifications,though not big deal ,they are not straight fit jobs.
Another thing,even the alloy stock plates can be sourced too.
So there's no need to worry about spares or performance loss at all.All that's needed is a good tech aware mech and the spares of RTR are always there.Last edited by gixxer_junkie_m; 05-20-2011, 10:41 PM.Life begins, once you hit the power band !!Comment

@ chief
Do check the swing-arm bush, it might need greasing.
It can be an issue with the suspension too.
That's what i mentioned.Originally posted by gixxer_junkie_m View Post
I did ride a classic fiero with the front mod clutch cable, its all just namesake.
It doesn't help improve anything.
the clutch plates that i have now are 10k kms old, are are not local ones, they are bought from the TVS dealer, slippage still happens, maybe its the springs that need replacement.
Besides i also did get my clutch springs changed 30k kms ago.Giving a lot to a fiero.

Well yesterday I paid a visit to the mech and told him to open up the rear wheel. He opened, re-aligned the tyre and refitted the wheel. Greesed the chain and other points around the bike and also did minor tune-ups. Now the bike is fine. The mech looked at the plug and says it's great.
As Gixxer says, I will tell my cousin to bring the CT100 mudguard. Does the CT100 one come with the metal bracket and all? or will I be fitting only the plastic thingy.
I only want to input a little to Nano's point about different types of clutch plates. I say, the classic fiero metal ones do last quite a bit. the paper ones seem to slip sooner. Performance wise... I can't say.
cheers!Comment

Regarding the clutch, well i guess the tightening of the springs is the only option, to avoid slippage.
Another problem i faced yesterday, was cruising on the highway around 80 and suddenly it felt that the bike is running out of fuel, but the fuel guage (which was recently fixed) was showing more than 70% fuel.
Finally the bike stopped, i thought it might be an issue with the carb.
It didn't start even after wasting a lot of electric starter and kicks.
i switched to reserve, and the bike started.
so now with the new float, the reserve hits when the guage still shows 70%, is there any way in which that can be fixed ??Giving a lot to a fiero.

^^ Just bend the float rod till you are satisfied!

Find out your bike's reserve Liters. Drain all petrol, and pour measured amount of petrol to give just reserve amount...now check the gauge reading..If it is not correct then drain petrol into a canister and adjust float to get the approximate correct reading..pour the petrol and get the reserve reading checked...Originally posted by NANOtechnology View PostWhen Was The Last Time,You Did Something For The First Time.Comment
