Another good news.Since a lot of you guys have been complaining about OE replacement clutch plates being supplied by TVS,that is the 200 buck ones not lasting more than 8k kms at best.I had been checking on the same and found out that the original plates which came fitted to the fiero was japanese made,which was F.C.C and it costed something like 1,400 bucks back then when they were available.Once the JV between SUZUKI and TVS went,subsequently TVS started getting the same from H.C.M of china which has a technical tie-up with F.C.C of japan.Now from a few years F.C.C has entered into india with a JV partnership with Rico of india and is supplying clutch plates to most of the japanese and indian(TVS RTR ,Bajaj) bike makers here in india.I had seen the picture of the clutch plates of SUZUKI heat and Zeus from FCC-rico india's site.The thing i noticed was that they have the same number of bell slots.So today i called up Mr Murthy and he confirmed that indeed the suzuki heat and zeus clutch plates are compatible with our Fiero/F2/FX bikes.What i feel is that these clutch plates being made in india by F.C.C will be better than the chinese made one.Quench my thirst with gasoline!

@All
Today i went to a nearby SUZUKI showroom and got a used Zeus clutch plate from the mechs,who were good enough to help me out in this matter.They were saying that even these don't last more than 15,000kms in a city like bangalore and the life of the clutch plates majorly depends on the rider.At least the quality of the clutch plates look very good.Now i'll have to find a used fiero clutch plate to compare with and find out for real whether they're compatible or not.Life begins, once you hit the power band !!

Sorry to be inactive in this thread from quite some days.
I had given my bike to the mech to open up the cylinder head as well as the bore to confirm what needs to be done.
But unfortunately, the mech is having some issue with his current landlord (the place where his garage is) so he's on a hunt for a new garage from a lot of time.
I asked him to hand me the tools so that i would myself open up the stuff and take it to the lathe guy to get things sorted, but as is its the garage will soon change, so it would be very difficult to transport the bike to the new garage if the lathe guy takes time and so on...
Hence i brought the bike home and am using it minimally to save the plug from getting fouled before reaching the mech's new garage again.
Clutch is a biggest problem for me, these new clutch plates have already started slipping and causing the same problem again.
they seem worn out in just say 5000 kms.
that's possibly due to the bore kit, as to avoid knocking while accelerating, one needs to be light on the clutch until 3000 rpm and also during roll ons.
Now-a-days i am really tired fixing my bike over and over again, is there any thing that i can do to kill it once and for all ?Giving a lot to a fiero.
Expecting a lot from a fiero.

@Nanotech
Let's see about the suzuki clutch plates,if it needs any modifications to be done to the clutch basket,then i think you guys should carry on using the oe TVS one.
The main reason your clutch plates don't last for long to an large extent is because of on occasions having ridden with low oil levels.
About the engine,i think you should get it re-bored if it's come to it that is.Otherwise it might be a oil seal issue and nothing serious.Last edited by gixxer_junkie_m; 02-04-2012, 06:29 PM.Life begins, once you hit the power band !!

@Gixxer-yes it went well and sorry couldnt call you.I left joels garage by 7:30(got late because of oil leakage issue),thought of calling you but ended up with severe eye irritation,pain and in the end got swollen up.As i said earlier i will be coming to bangalore next month(by flight this time).I can bring the 32 er with me if you need it.By that time you can do some research.
@manu-yep its my 220

I have put back the platinum G-Power NGK CR9E once again and she's performing well.The NGK CR7E IX iridium is nice and choc brown in color too.I think there was a leak in the intake hose to the carb from the air-filter,as well as in the intake manifold,the mech's hadn't fitted it properly before our mysore run.Since i took off the tank to fit the carb properly,then also the increase in the main-jet size has made the plugs show the right color.sigpicAll India Permit 1+1

The news regarding the clutch plates sounds great.
On a side note... Finally got my engine decarb done last week. I had opted for it a few years back once earlier. I must say the bike feels like new with all the carbon missing from the piston head. I hope most Fiero owners here have carried out regular decarb work I'm sold! The process is just amazing. So simple and quick and yet such great benefits.Ride it like you stole it! But buy your own helmet.
