The fork legs are the original Fiero's with some work done on the right leg to hold the RTR Disc assembly. No issues with tyre slipping or skidding and the braking is awesome. Mind you, I do need a front tyre change for other reasons. Its 8 years old and run over 50k kms.
Can you please send in a picture of the setup & the complete bike.
I am getting very eager to install front discs for better braking.

Engine drinking oil
Engine has done 90200km of running & I had changed my block,piston & valves at 50k on the odo.Recently from the past 2-3 oil changes,i notice that engine oil when drained is only 500-600ml.
The bike does not smoke & runs fine.Gives me a mileage of 45-47kmpl. The other issue that the spark plug is all black at the tip & its wet when its taken out.I use Shell Advance 20w40 oil & pour in 1100ml of oil after 1500-2000km of run & change of oil filter alternatively. I am currently using NGK CR9eIX Iridium plug.
Can some one please help me out of this problem of the engine drinking oil??

Originally posted by nav75 View PostI think 50k was a bit too early for block piston to be changed. Anyways, if you are not seeing any smoke, may be you can do a compression test or else it might be that the oil is getting vapourised.
If the oil is vapourising,then what grade oil do I use?

@imjoshee: You are using the wrong spark plug for the Fiero. It should be CR7E conventional, or CR7EIX Iridium, look here: NGK Partfinder for Two WheelersQuench my thirst with gasoline!

What about the piston rings? That is a common cause of drinking oil, but smoke should be there. Its a bit weird!Quench my thirst with gasoline!

Guys, what is the block? (or piston block) Does it need to be changed while changing the Ring Piston? I may need to change the ring piston of my bike soon... and what is the cost? easily available?
be patient with my queries as I am not too fluent with bike parts and stuff although I have been riding for years now. I let the mechanics decide and do the needful.

Originally posted by bala_racing View PostBlock is "cylinder block", the part which houses the piston. I think you are asking about "piston rings", it is easliy available. Not sure about the cost for a fiero..
so you mean the cylinder block is also susceptible to damage? .... When do you recommend a change? Minor damages I'm sure can be rectified. Well I already have the Ring and Ring Piston purchased... I am just waiting for a suitable time to change those.
I also plan to change the Carburetor ... is it necessary to change the carb in order to get a better mileage? I get between to 35 - 40 KM / Liter.

You need not change the carburetor as a whole. Clean and inspect the same for any fault. Mostly, the float (copper) will get damaged on long use. If required change the float and needle valve as a set. Costs around Rs.400/-.
BTW, 35-40 km/litre is less, have your bike completely serviced by an experienced mechanic.
