              Thanx for the suggestions guys...I planned to go for Zapper C...

                go to the showroom and check out the colour of the injector of the new FI,if it's silver ask the guy thr to give you test drive for it...
                drive it see for urself,get all ur "confusion" sorted out thr...

                simply tell the guys thr you're having hell lots of trouble with the injection sysytem,have a word with the showroom owner,an he'll be doin it for you.

                  If I were you I'd go for the Q, if I'm forced to choose between the Zappers.

                    So what is the diff. between this Q & C...I think C has more grip when compared to Q...I came to this conclusion by seeing the pic which made me think both are equally good..

                      from the day one im facing diz problem...(RTR FI)

                      1. Frequent switch off: when i was riding & when i reduce the throttle engine goes off, it happens atleast 3 times a day & when i raise the throttle silencer bursts with a cracker sound & engine switches off...

                      2. engine noise is high , its like some coins are rolling inside engine...

                      i took the bike from mehdoot banlore..i have visited the SVC guys so far 25 times only for this issue in the 3 months (i took the bike on april 14 09)..nothing has been rectified everytime they ll keep the bike for 2 or 3 days & ll say its rectified but the same day ill face the problem....wht to do guys

                      its really IRRITATING

                      please helpppppppp

                      Guys,

                      On Aug 08, i mailed Mr. Ananda Krishnan (head VP Business planning) & Mr. Ilango (south zone service manager) explaining ma bikes problem, the second day i received reply from Mr. Krishnan with apologies for the inconvinience caused & assurance that my problem will be solved. On the same day i got a call from Mr. Ilango asking me to get the bike to the service station, he also assured that all problems will be rectified with factory engineers. I couldnt take it on the same week so i took the bike to SVC the second week on 11 of august.

                      As soon as i reached mehdoot SVC, factory engineers arrived & i have explained them clearly the problems im facing... They did test drive for almost 40 kms but the bike was running perfectly.(by that time i ran almost 20 kms to reach SVC). Then they asked me to leave the bike for a day or two (if possible) so that random switch off can be checked in cold conditions.

                      i agreed to leave the bike, they have changed the ECU (delphi product under seat) as first job as a matter of suspection. then they inspected the bike completely. I left the bike for almost 3 days & they have tested it for 100 kms & no problem at all. I took the bike back today & im so happy that the bike is so smooth, pick up has increased drastically & so the pullin power. tappet noise has also reduced a bit,, after getting the bike i had driven around 50kms no random switch off problem ( but have to check the same for couple of days)...

                      I wonder an ECU has contolled the entire bikes performance, the factory engineer said so many things are contolled by the ECU like fuel supply, firing, temparature control, etc.,, The engineers were really helpful & for the whole week it was like i have given the bike to a well known mechanic who calls up regularly & update what has happened & whats going on....CHEERS TO THEM & CHEERS TO TVS..

                      Will keep updated guys abt the bikes performance & obviously the random switch off issue(m sure it wont happen again)....

                      TVS guys are really helpful & cooperative, they focus special attention if we are not satisfied...

                      Mr. Illango can be contacted for south zone (KL, AP, TN & KA)...he s ready to help us any time

                          As I'v mentioned I'v not used either C or Q. I have ridden a bike briefly which had a C. It sure felt better than Y, at least... but no great shakes.

                          As for the Q, most people who have used it say its the best in the Zapper series. On a cursory look also, the compund also seems different. The compound on the Y and C do not really feel that different. Whats more, Q is the best looking of the lot. I'd go with the Q. But remember, the Zappers are ok only for good dry tarmac. Any other surface, and they will ZAP you!
