    @prateek2210
    AFAIK, they are replaceable to current cables. Let me check my bike's and revert if they are permanent or not.
    BTW just curious, why NGK and these?

    When you bought it, didnt you notice it? BTW what is your height? My friends have the old one, and did numerous tours, and never complained of any pain, apart from usual butt sore

      @prateek2210: A mental happiness or placebo effect that ensure me perfomance of my bike is improved so do ride quality.
      It's time to change stock(ODO 18 now) so why not experiment with CR7EIX ? There are multiple people recommended it and vouched for it, I'm sure that no harm may come to my bike !

      Did you checked your cables ? Are stock cables replaceable ?

      Also these automatic double posting is getting in to my nerves, how do I stop it ? Do the admins know about this ?

        No sir, thats the mistake, I bought it without any test ride. Hard learned lesson. I am a little above 6 feet tall.

              Not sure about mixture, but I guess light grey is good, also it's not stock plugs, what's plug model ?

              I made my TVS Racing logo with local sticker shop, they did a nice 99% match replica for Rs.60, see previous page for sticker pic.

                It's the old model Bosch R6. Bought a new one today from tvs spares, it has twin electrodes. When i asked the mech he said few models of that plug(R6) also came with single electrode(the older ones)
                Hows your ngk? Any improvements??

                    Yeah yeah true bro! You gotta try what you want!
                    Try that. Let's see what changes does it make
                    That TVS Racing sticker was done at a local shop? Cannot believe bro
                    I tried getting it done in one of the sticker shops here but it didn't come up nicely. Not even close to 50%.

                      Try another shop mate, my guy made that from scratch and it's perfecto !

                      btw I bought an FZ for my dad, I'll be taking my beast to work place(staying in another town).

                        Guys help! This is the second time.. I was in 5th gear doing some 54km/h when i suddenly felt loss of acceleration though i was holding the throttle.. Looked at the console it was off.. Kind of "phat" sound came frm exhaust then the console turned on once again indicating 51km/h!
                        What might be the problem? I have changed the spark plug today to stock bosch r6. [MENTION=13887]prateek2210[/MENTION] any idea about this buddy?

                              What about your battery ? wiring ? Any electrical faults ? because else I would be suspicious about bad petrol/air filter/oil probs. You said your console was off, that means something is wrong with your electricals or battery. Better go to SVC.

                                Loss of acceleration can be because of many reasons : Not enough momentum, incline and carb issues too.
                                Console going off : That means the ignition went off for few moments, thus resulting in the loss of acceleration.
                                Phat sound : That means unburn gases came out, can be because of either rich or lean mixture.

                                This phat sound can be also because of ignition konking off and coming back in seconds.
                                People here make that "bullet" sound by switching on-off the ignition while holding the throttle, resulting in the sound of "phat phat"

                                First get the ignition switch checked and then the wiring.
