    Yes when it comes to carb and it's spares it makes sense to buy from UCAL dealer or bajaj .There will be small changes between a TVS and bajaj carb.For example fiero carb has a second smaller diaphragm which bajaj carbs don't have.

    Bro... it's good to have clear skies and see the mountains first thing in the morning. Nature brings peace to the soul. And it's a good thing to let go distractions like TV, computer, mobile phones etc for a while and be completely within nature.

    No wonder Fiero carbs are more expensive ... that too by a big margin. Thanks for the info.

      That's what i meant ,the price varies according to the model.Fiero came with ucal mikunki carbs and if you want that one then it will cost you 5k.The apache and RTR's have different carb,there wont be any difference in performance barring the size of the jets.But if you want to keep everything stock and insist on original parts,then it's gonna cost you.For me ,i am never particular about fiero parts,as they cost more than it's derivatives which are in production,so i always go for RTR's parts.Or in carb's case bajaj ones.
      For ex fiero CDI isn't available and if you insist on it ,then it's gonna cost you something like between 4 and 5k with a delay ranging from a couple of months to half a year.Were as RTR's TCI/IDI costs 650 bucks and both are made by India Nippon Electrical co the technologies are totally different and so is the manufacturing cost.

      A set of alloy wheels of RTR costs something in the region of 7k !! is it worth it? or else you guys can go for used ones of other bikes.

        The original CDI of fiero was from KOKUSAN DENKI which is a subsidiary of Mitsubishi Electrical Co .Then they entered into a JV with TVS Electrical co and the JV was Inidia Nippon Electrical Co and they supply the CDI units to all the manufacturers in india including the 4wheeler's electrical systems.They also export these too.Interestingly enough you may have noticed Kokusan denki on Moto Gp bikes too ,because they make the ECU's for them and traction control ,launch control etc.So guys ,our fiero and RTR's have parts from some of the best in business and TVS isn't some namby pamby bike maker.They have some quality JV's with quality technologies.

                  Apache RTRs have TCI/IDI...they are different from CDI.Gixxer had converted his Fiero from CDI to TCI/IDI with good results.

                      I have very strong views against the pulsar engine/GB except the newly developed 4 valve engine.Since this is a public forum,i'll leave it at that.
                      Going from Honda Unicorn ,probably the best engineered bike in india barring R15,it will be quite a new experience for you.Going from one extreme to the other(i am not talking about performance here) .

                        Yes it's been done on a routine basis.

                        As far as i know and from what i've heard from the mechs etc.The fiero CDI unit has never failed till date and according to mechs it never does.The only way it can fail is if it gets fried electrically or if it's banged up pretty bad.If it goes kaput you will know,the bike won't start.
                        Earlier what used to happen was ,the CDI unit used to get stolen a lot .As the fiero CDI units are left exposed under the tank and all a guy needs to do is pull it off.Now the mech has put the TCI/IDI unit under the seat near the tool kit so to access it the seat has to be removed.

                          My dear BHPians. sorry for not updating all this while. all of a sudden after a regular oil change, my 02' fiero started making some whining noises while speeding up. the mech said it has to be the clutch pressure plate. so had kept the bike with him for a day. he said, since my clutch plate has worn out, its better to replace that as well. so the following day he replaced only the clutch plate without the pressure plate saying it shouldnt make any difference. the bike doesnt feel the same. previously i could easily engage the 1st gear while de-clutching and raise the throttle to move. but now. as soon as i engage the 1st gear, the bike gives a jolt and stops. so the only way to move ahead is my raising the throttle way more while de clutching and then slowly engaging the clutch. do u think its coz of the worn out pressure plate?

                            Mag wheels would definitely add some spice to a Fiero... I too would like mags. Any one done that yet? if yes... show us the picture.

                            What about using the Star City's alloys? I think they would suit the Fieros better, as they are silver colored. Cost wise also should be lesser than RTR's.
                            I had thought of this once earlier, but then I got my R15 with alloys, so like to see the spokes on my Fiero F2!
                            Same is the case with the starter-I was planning to get a self starter installed, then came my R15 with no kick, only self!

                            What makes you say that about the Unicorn? I think it has great refinement at city speeds, and thats about it. Else technically its just the same as any other 150 on the block, nothing special under the hood.
                            I agree about the R15 though, The vast difference in character between these 2 150s is what makes me love the Fiero F2 so much! I love its raw, no nonsense appeal.

                              Old bike gets new rubber

                              I had been using the stock TVS front tyre since 2004 &my bike has crossed 53K kms. After 2 years of buying the bike, I swapped the stock rear TVS 90/90*18" to Dunlop GeoCruiser 100/90/18".
                              After getting quite a few punctures, and two patches in the rear tyre itself, I decided to change both the tyres.
                              I thought of reverting to stock size&searching around in vain for the rear 90/90/18" size, which was possible to get only in MRF Zapper Q, but couldn't lay my hands on that also.
                              I finally went for Michelin M45 2.75*18" for the front, and Michelin Sirac Street 3.00*18" for the rear. Please PM me if you want to know the price I paid.
                              Initial observation is: The front tyre is soft compound&grips like a leech. Rear is slightly wobbly as of now, but I have been told that it sets onto the rim after 400kms.of usage. I got the rims throughed&put the tyres on.
                              I don't have any real pics now, since I don't have a cam with me, but this is what the tyres look like.
                              Must buy, I would say.
                              Quench my thirst with gasoline!

                                @Sarvajit :- Keep an eye on uneven tyre wear on the M45 at the front, it is famous for that, personally experienced that twice. you will start experiencing vibes from the front wheel say after 5 to 7 k kms.
