    Engine stall doesnt cause the electrical cut off. If its once in a while situation, then I am not sure. But, if this happens couple of times, then check these:
    The fuse - I had a very bad experience with my R15 because of a faulty fuse. It killed the engine and electricals several times and had to push my bike to the service center. The fuse had also damaged the relay and had to claim it under warranty. This happened during rainy season. Dont know whether the corelation is right.
    Then check the after market accessories if any, like switches, chargers etc. Some of them can cause electrical troubles.
    Check the battery charge level too.

    Just a note: KTM users faced similar problem due to overheating of engine? Was that the case with you guys?

          D200 is nice but it would feel cramped it you are well built. Why not Dominar you would get abs too. And it is a perfect tool for highway very comfortable at doing triple digit speeds.

            As ljs said why not dominar...for the price of d200 u can get better equipped dominar... Dont bother its weight...it is still nimble and pretty powerful and one of the best money can buy... If i have to choose between 3 then definitely dominar..

              Thinking about the same. But have not been able to spend time on that. Maybe after some more running will try it. Not sure how the bike will behave and what happens to the low end torque. I am thinking of testing with 45T and 44T rear sprockets.

                Yeah. But I want to know whether there would be any other issues, already this bike has some issue giving me a mileage 28-29kmpl both highways and city. SC guys have no clue about it. But is it really possible to change the sprocket or any other part and gain higher top end?

                  Back from to trip to Kasol from Delhi. Total 1200kms. Bike could take a 90kg pillion in bad steep uphill roads. Today got servicing done at 6.2kms. oh and cruising at l between 90-110km/hr I got average between 43 and 45. Unparalleled probably. I couldn't be happier.

                    Thanks, riazmomin. Been facing similar issue with my Gixxer 155. Do you suggest replacement or cleaning (if possible)?

                      Same sentiments echoed Riaz. But even at 110, it is/was smoother than my R15 and the CBR 250R. What have you done with the muffler cover? Paint or wrap?

                        Even I did same, but my fuel level is high and in I'm in higher gear ratio.

                            What is the service cost for Fz 25? Include both free and paid. This will help in buying decision for me. Thanks

                              If issue is persisting, it must be replaced under warranty.

                              Difference between Paid and Free Service is Labour Charge only. Labour charge may vary based on issues.

                              General Oil Change and other consumables will range between 900-1500.

                                Does anyone of you know what type of led bulb is used in our bike?

                                Anyone tried opening head lamp assembly ?
