TCI conversion- 1300rs
Alloys or some digital pinion system
1.7 laks and still stock, then you are risking a stall. Get it reworked soon!!

If it still stalls then I have a reason to get him 180 or 205 cc bigger heart.

replies in bold

TCI unit=750 rs
IDI coil= 450 rs( I am using Thunder Bird's coil which is costly). Some wiring mods which can be done by yourself.
Your new speedo will not work unless you change to some digital pinion system.
Though Fiero engines are rock solid, don't forget that these are metal and they are prone to wear. Any engine running more than 50k after overhauling/stock is a time-bomb ready to blow. Everyone thinks that only piston wears in an engine, but the there is something called CRANK which is the real beating taker..

Dear Fieroians,

Sorry for OT..

can some one post me a picture of fiero ES model battery box and clutch yoke.(need to know wheather clutch switch present at ES model)

i am trying to fit a self start to classic fiero. Got a new battery box and surprised to see part lable says 9Ah battery box.. can some one confirm the battery ratting of fiero ES/ F2 ES model.

Thanks
Vijay

replies i bold

@v1gnesh a long list of questions are waiting for you buddy pls be kind to answer.

@Vijay,

AFAIK, every Self start vehicle will have a clutch switch. But i must admit, I have rarely seen a ES fiero and never kept my hands on it. Most of the Fieros that I have seen are in dirt trim, so no idea about it.

@max007,

I can give explanations and wiring ideas, but NANO will be the correct person to ask about this. I haven't done any cosmetic mods as its purpose was against them

Hi max007,

thanks for your reply. please have a look on a picture . whether your fiero Es have this clutch lever switch on the yoke.

if possible kindly post be the battery box picture.

hi guys,
been following this thread for a long time and finally got myself a 2004 fiero f2 seeing the immense pottential and happy owners here .
lot of mods planned ahead. right now getting it into a respectable state.


clutch seems to be worn out any inputs on cost including labour(approximatly) ???

New TVS plates cost 200rs. Also change the steel plates which will be approx 250rs. Engine oil 300 rs + clutch packing 20rs + service charge 150rs(approx). That will be 1000 bucks.

thanks v1gnesh,
you have a very nice fiero there, the color scheme look's nice, and those wheelie pops are well ahem making me jealous


about the clutch , my mechanic quoted in similar figures too.
any of you guys tried it yourself ? i mean changing the clutch et all.you know a lil DIY , how difficult is it??
since most of my parts are being replaced/ repaired (fork seals, disc plate and pads, cone set,fairing,handlebars,tyres,brakes loL and a lot more ... etc)
i wanted to get some grease on,hence this question.


rIbu.

yea it does have something like this but no connection so it is only a dummy if in neutral the self will work .

Strange! The other day on the highway ripped to 100+ speeds after a long time and when I lowered the revs, the bike started stalling. Almost running out of breath. But did not stop. Picked up again with comfortable midrange.
Seems like my carb setting is too rich. Isn't that a symptom?

Everything else is fine. New oil + filter. Tank and carb bowl is clean. No dirt/rust. Same pump fuel. Traffic upto 60kph - no prob. Heavy pillion - no prob. No prob while ripping upto 80kph on highway too. Only when I got off the revs did the hiccups start. I think at full throttle too much of fuel is goin in the carb...

Could be one-off incident but wanna troubleshoot to ensure reliability.

Hello Guys.

I am really sorry to have missed this forum and all of you who were asking questions or needed help.
I've been living on mobile internet from last 1 month as I had issues with my PC and the xbhp (new site) was getting on my nerves in the mobile version.
Once again really sorry, I haven't run away from this thread...
Besides, I want to update a small modification that I've done to my Fiero.

I've changed the rear and front sprocket ratio to 44/14 from the stock 40/13.
The real idea of doing so was because from last 30k kms this was the 4th sprocket set that I had replaced, my rear sprocket had more than 20 teeth which were literally broken and the chain started jumping.
This was high time I did something about it because I had ended up with a broken chain twice, I guess I needed something peaceful, logically I expected upsizing the rear and installing a more durable chain might help.

After replacing the clutch and pressure plated for say N'th time my fiero is really working alright and turned into a rocket again.

I installed o-ring chain on my bike, coupled with this ratio, works pretty much like stock though, but yes, its shorter marginally, the whole idea was city riding and negotiating the traffic as now-a-days if i need to hit the highways I use my other bike...
The response has really improved, the bike shoots up really really quick and put all these new gen acceleration monsters to shame, my rear tyre has also started shredding so in the near future, after saving up more money I would change the rubber.

Here are some pics of the rear sprocket and o ring chain...




PS:- I've tried almost everything to make the images normal instead of upside down, but it doesn't work, please bear with me...



Changing the handle to the FZ is the best thing that has happened to fiero since fiero.
You can install the rtr's speedo, but you would have to change the wiring of your bike to that of the rtr's, the rtr's console has 24 pin connector and there's really no way you can come around with it with search and find method and cut/shread fix job with the old wiring.
The rtr's wiring would range from 300 to 1100 ranging from local ones to minda ones to oem ones... I think its more sensible to replace them entirely once and for all.
Another thing, the digital meter doesn't show precise speedo readings.

My mech had installed the rtr's speedo on a fiero, he didn't change the front wheel though, I haven't seen that work but did ride that bike, I think it might have some glitch as he could do it...
I haven't done that although I was getting an used rtr's console for 300 bucks, I just hate the digital dashes.
Another thing about digital dashes is that I always had bad experiences with the fuel guage getting stupid readings and I really don't trust digital odo to work flawlessly.
Besides its really nice hindi that you've learnt, we shall have a conversation in hindi soon, I'll teach you the good stuff (bookish) the bad stuff (abuses) and the worst stuff (Mumbai's hindi) once I meet you...

I've converted my fiero to electric start, I just changed the wiring to that of the rtr's and the relay of the rtr as well and didn't install the clutch switch, its just that I need to hit the neural every time i need to start it back, BTW you can install honda activa's clutch relay and make the starter work in all the gears, but it would work with or without the clutch so its upto you, the clean method is the one already know I am just giving cheaper options. I've used a 9 amp battery and slicing the extra stuff from the battery box to accomodate it, you wouldn't get a battery box for a 9 amp, all you would get is a brace with a rubber strap to hook the battery in, but it needs a bit of fabrication to install, so I kept it simple, removed the old battery box and cut the extra part a bit and was done.
The es model of fiero had a 5 amp battery and its easy fittable without much cutting, I went for 9 amp to have peace of mind as I had other electric commitments to serve...
I had pictures with the battery installed in the existing battery box both 5 amp and 9 amp, but I've lost 2TB of disk data so I don't have it anymore, would have helped you otherwise...

Clucth plates cost 198 bucks, and you might need a 20 bucks gasket, labor is mech dependent, I never pay my mech for this work, infact i do it myself at his garage...
I guess someone should charge you 150 bucks to do it. (max i mean)

I think its not too rich carb, its the throttle slide getting stuck, or the float getting funny. Used to happen to my carb until one day it decided to drain all the fuel that's left in the tank, even while riding.
Send the pics of the spark plug here and just get your carb cleaned once, the float will be re-fixed and the slide and everything will be nicely removed and fixed back. If its a stock carb, I think that's all it would need to get working back again.


@gix

WHERE ARE YOU ???

@psr

WHERE ARE YOU ???

I am very much here and visiting thread often...as for Gixxer i guess he is after a SBK ...
Hope you and your Green bike are doing well.

@ Nano buddy really nice to see you back .yes fz handle is amazing you had insisted in three or four of your post and that gave me the confidence to go ahead and thank u for that.

And now comes my problem the engine is drinking oil to a great extent about 750 ml every 1200 kms odd , so already dropped the idea for going to rtr speedo ( even I had bought usedone for 400 bucks ) I ride about 40-50 kms daily . had an idea of going for big bore but my mech is not ready to experiment and neither any of them here asked about joel BB and the price quoted is huge not in a mood to spent that much money in a 11 years old 1.7 lakh run bike so going for stock bore which would cost about 5 k including labour .
What do you guys say? For the power thirst may go for a bigger cc new bike within 1.5 lakh budget otr my boy will stay with me anyway.

@psr guys so you are watching this thread regularly and not replying thats bad .
