Yes, drop in top-speed could be due to alloy wheels as they are heavier than normal spokes. But I'd suggest you take advice of other experienced people in this thread, if at all you're intending to make some more changes on the bike to get the earlier top-speed back again. -
Thanks bro,,,hats off for your effort,,, I would have accepted it if i had a scanner,,,,But guys if anyone have scanner at home please help us and it will be surely a great help for all the cbzians,,,for their issues and upgradations,,,,Thanks in advance,,,Originally posted by diffuser911 View PostGuys, I haven't heard back from the guy who promised to help scan the manual, hence I will be giving it away to someone who can scan and share the same here. I've landed upon the original (yes!) workshop manual which I had given to a friend to return to the mechanic before I left India. Turns out, the lazy bum never did that and I found it lying in his room.
Please PM me your phone number and address, and do make sure you can give the scanned manual here before requesting for it. I will post the name and phone number of the person who I send to, so that others can bother him untill he posts the scan of the manual
. The copy is spiral bound and in immaculate condition.Comment

What is the best suited air filter for cbz classic? I've heard hurricane is good, please adviseComment

I'm not sure, I heard K&N RC 1100 also goes good with CBZ Classic.Originally posted by sinnerz2000 View PostComment

I'm no expert but i thought the alloys were supposed to be lighter than the regular spoke wheels...??O.oOriginally posted by metalghost View PostThe thirst for knowledge never ends........Comment

Lol...Well, yeah. There are contradicting statements on the weight of alloy wheels and spoke wheels. Some people say alloy wheels are heavier than spoke wheels but some say spoke wheels AKA steel wheels are heavier than alloys. Alloys are usually made of aluminium or magnesium/sometimes mixture of both, which is lighter than steel which makes alloys lighter than steel. But this theory could go upside down when diameter of wheel is considered where smaller alloy wheels are heavier than steel wheels. Moreover, riders who switch from steel to alloy often complain about drop in mileage, which could possibly have made people believe it is because of weight of the alloy. Correct reason is unknown, I think. Let the experts here comment on this.Originally posted by chand_cbz View PostComment

Actually alloy wheels are lighter than steel spoke wheels,only in case when its a OEM .TAke case of cbz extremes alloy is lighter than cbz steel wheels and is stronger also.always best is buying Karizma zma alloys which is strongest and withstand bends also.Going for cheap and after market alloys always is a waste of money and can call in accidents due to braking of alloy.Originally posted by metalghost View PostComment

Absolutely right.... But coming to the looks i think the 3 spoke mag alloys are a perfect match for the classic CBZ.... what say??Originally posted by lichin View PostThe thirst for knowledge never ends........Comment

Dude, IMO you did not give it a proper thought :-)Originally posted by metalghost View Post
It's hard to believe that just a change in wheels (not that i'm saying alloys are heavier) made the top speed decrease from 105 to 90kmph!
If that's the case then none weighing more than say 80 kg would have ever achieved 100+ kmph on any CBZ. Dont I make sense? :-)Contribute to the environment.Comment

Well, yes. I didn't give it a second thought. But clarify then, please. Why almost all of them who switch from steel to alloy complain mileage drop? Does that have anything to do with the weight difference between alloy and steel? I am just asking, I do not know the true reason. If the reason for mileage drop has to do something with the weight difference between alloy and steel, then wouldn't the same reason affect the top speed also?Originally posted by nirvaana View PostComment
