    Also, how much does Indian govt charge us for such imports? 10%? or more? last time, i ended up paying 6K for a motherboard.
    These are the ones I have on my Fazer V1.



    These have a fan built in which helps in cooling. Also the build quality is really good.
    As for the light output, here is a pic showing how both lamps on at low beam (they are really bright!).

    Excuse the road ahead. Route planning gone horribly wrong

      They are very reliable. i am using it my fazer for a year now, now will install it to R15 soon. It is 4000LM in Low beam compared to 520LM in Haligen bulbs & 5000LM in High beam compared to 820LM in Halogen and 30W each compared to 35W for Halogen.

      If there is any issue with the lights, you can contact the seller (message seller option) and they will send a new pair if you send them a video or detailed picture that Lights are damaged. Not in my case though.

      Normally there is no extra or hidden charge while using Credit Card.

      Choice is yours. Lights are more than Dominar 400 but not less than that.

        Thanks for the info Bro. Not interested in upgrades now, because i don't ride at night now. I prefer Car, which has muchhh better lighting.

        Will keep this info Handy, so i could recommend to others and on Xbhp.

I read the topic of sproketing and gearing on xbhp .. And wanted to know if a duke 200 chain set will fit onto my fz-s V2.0 directly it will add a bit more acceleration to the bike I know ..
          Secondly its a 502 chain and has x- rings so doesn't it have better performance and longer life span if maintained properly ?
          Well can someone pls reply to this post .. Idk I haven't received any info on this post as yet ..

          I'm planing on a headlight upgrade and I didn't consider leds ..but out of the many things to be considered .. Most important thing is are they LEGAL in India ? Cuz here atlest in goa... If u change ur headlight to a hid or any type of white light other then that light being stock setup. The cops stop the bike and either fine the owner or give a warning and tell them to change it asap .. So thats the problem .if anyone has any more info on this pls reply and shed some light on this topic..

            x- rings reduce acceleration over O Rings. Make a note of that.
            When it comes to performance, Regular Chains > O Rings > X Rings.
            When it comes to Life of chains. X Rings > O Rings > Regular Chains.

            Not sure of the stock setup of FZ16 V2 and of Duke, so cannot comment much over there.
            If you could provide the Teeth (Both Front and Rear)on both these vehicles at Stock, we could guesstimate the advantage and power drop.

            Coming to life of chain, you might get a bit more outta Duke chain, because, its for a bike with 200 CC and you are using it on a 150. So, less load on chain. Which means More life. But Duke chain is expensive too. So the cost per KM might be more than regular Yamaha Chains.

              Hey .
              I did some research and found this site to calculate everything about sproketing... So now do give ur opinion on wat u feel about this ... See my main question is .. Will the sprockets of the duke 200 fit onto the fz without any modification ...ik that life span of x rings is better that is y I want to try it ..

                Duke Chain is heavy and its O Ring.
                Cutting ORing chains is not recommended.

                If the length matches, you can go ahead.
                You would be over gearing and at the same time, you are using a heavy chain.

                This results in
                - More load on Engine and pistons.
                - Reduced Acceleration.
                - Increased Top speed.

                If you are fine with these risks. you can go ahead. I wouldn't recommend anything other than stock. You can use apache front sprocket to overgear it. but nothing more.

                  Sure thing I'll see wars possible .. Actually the thing is I want to try it out .. And see for my self how much difference it makes ..
                  And as per the sproketing site it says the top speed will reduce and acceleration will increase .. Which idk u just said the opp of .. Just check the screenshots i sent ( each pic is of the 3 different setups stock / current/custom) see the kmph in the last column ... On stock its 102 current a little more and if I put the duke chain its 99.2... So I'll have more acceleration and less top speed ..
                  Anyways if u know anyone who has done something like this do tell him/ her for a review ..I'll be glad .. If I get it done I'll suerly post a review on the forum...

                    Nope bud. Thats the reason why i am asking you to be cautious.
                    If i have seen others doing this, i would have directly recommended what to do.
                    You are undergearing it then. ATB Bud.

                      Thanks .... For the info I'll do post back if I get it done.
                      Secondly ..can u pls shed some info about the installation of led bulbs that was done on the previous page .. I commented as to know is it allowed in India .. Are those leds which people have installed allowed on road . without any R.TO..formalities OR any compliances in India .. Or is it illegal .. And people still mount then as headlight bulb alternative ...do post whatever knowledge u have about this !!

                        India has many states in it. Few states don't care to implement rules. But Few care.
                        Unfortunately many states do not care, so people install them. States where govt cares, people of those states don't install such hardware.

                        India has very bad road laws. If your vehicle is 5000 CC or above, you can install 5X more lights (Something like this.) on your vehicle when compared to smaller vehicles. So is the case with horns.
                        But in reality, No one needs such lighting. But heavy vehicles (Buses and Trucks) use such heavy setup's. people in smaller vehicles are at greater risk on highways because of these buses and trucks. So, they try to protect themselves by switching to higher lighting. and That's good.

                        Govt seems to be fixing the 1970's old laws now, but we are at least few years away from it on paper. Implementation may take many years.

                          So what is ur final verdict on the top .. Should I go ahead a get a led bulb or stick to the stock type of bulb ?

                            If you get caught, pay the fine.
                            If you dont want to pay the fine, stick to OEM and ride slowly. You make your choice.

                              Will the stock 4ah battery on the fzs fi be enough power a 55/60w headlamp without hampering the fi system? The fazer has a dual headlamp setup both the headlamps glow on high beam i.e. 35+35= 70 watt total and it also has dual horns running on the similar 4ah battery.
                              Has anyone tried a 55/60w bulb on their fzs fi?

                                There may be specific defects on specific bikes for eg. within 6 months after buying the bike I noticed strange things on my bike. The meter console glass cracked and the plastic tank cover where the bolts are fitted have cracked. I was shocked because my bike never fell down nor I had parked my bike under direct sunlight for more than 15-20 minutes. My friends also own fzs v2 but none of them have this cracking issue. Although this was covered under warranty by yamaha my meter console and the tank cover on both the sides were replaced free of cost.
                                After about one year again the left side of the tank cover got cracked near the center bolt.
                                I haven't came across anyone in my friend circle who has faced such cracking issues, its my fate that even after replacement I faced the the same issue. Thankfully its just a single crack. Meter console and the right side of my tank cover are still intact after replacement till date.
                                I cannot blame yamaha for this because its like 1/1000 bikes has faced such issue and I am that unlucky one, luck plays a very crucial factor.

                                And if you speak of rusting as per my experience yamahas are very less prone to rusting, just have a look at RE bikes and even hornet. Both these bikes are owned by my friends and have horrible rusting issue on their body parts.
