        Careful man .. you may fry the valves .. i was thinking of going with a no silencer set up. Only a short stub exiting below the footpegs on either side. Still have to work out the design.

                  They do have gloves in the showroom now.

                  Against some of your thoughts, the mesh gives a good look to the bike. Check it out physically once. Remember the Chennai R15 that got fried? This is a precaution to avoid such things.

                  Also, guys, pls don't speculate so much abt the power upgrade in the R15. I don't think they need to increase the power output of the bike to make it peppier in the lower RPM's... it is an FI unit and I guess there'd be minimal remapping. The 20 BHP claims are just rumors, I guess.

                  Abt the silencer, have u guys seen how much underbody piping the FZ16's silencer has? We cannot have that fitted to an R15 without burning out something.. .they engines & functionality are leagues apart.

                  @Jawed, FZ1 @ 7L is great pricing...

                  • you what hydbiker is right
                    we should not get excited
                    most of us got disappointed expecting a min of 20ps when the bike was launched...i remember staying p to watch the countdown on the yamaha website and then thinking damn only 17ps
                    im sure they will just remap the ecu to broaden the torque curve and nothing more
                    but if the ecu can be remapped we can expect aftermarket kits to come out( like petes for cars) once there are a few more bikes on the road

                    • @Hyd Biker:All R15 Owners Need A Good Punch From Low End Grunt,20 Bhp No Need Of it Else A Minimal Increase In Bhp Like 17.5 Or 18 Bhp

                      @ Jawed:Fz1 For 7 lacs, Is That The Fazer With Quater Faring ?, I Heard The Fazer Comes With 20 Valves In 2009 Model

                          well at the Yamaha website.. FZ1 is a 998cc costing $9800, is a half-faired bike
                          and FZ6 is a $7300 600cc half-faired bike (both 2009 models) and all FZ1's and FZ6's have been half-faired.

                          ...so wat model is the bike in Chetan's avatar...??

                            i think yamaha tested their bikes at 22BHp at the begining with the same engines and later detuned..........so i think it is possible to tune it again back to 22bhp ri8

                            and the only way to tune the engine in FI bikes means programming the ECU ri8?

                            experts please put some light on this

                              Thats the FZ1 from Yamaha UK..the model is exclusivly maid for the European Market
                              The Simila FZ6 is also naked and thats from Yamaha UK aswell.
                              Just because you haven't seen it doesnt mean its impossible...expect the unexpected.

                                Who ever said that to you ... duh!

                                The original specs were unknown even to most riders in the test team....
                                From what I know of they were targeting 21PS ... and they successfully hit 160KMPH mark on the test machine (Speedo)

                                Not exactly... the ECU in this scenario is used to limit the amount of juice that goes to the engine, so messing the ecu (or in a lame sense removing it) will mean removing the restriction and reaching the full potential of the bike!

                                for R15 to be good enough, I guess the ECU remap will be good
                                for R15 to be a kick-a55 mean machine, I guess the ECU will have to be clubbed with a good freeflow (minimum) and maybe a new cam kit (i know am being hopefull)
