    Yes. I tried that. In fact, the army mechanic suggested and did that for me and inder. The performance was improved but even after that bike refused to climb after 17000 ft.
    Never argue with an idiot. He will drag you down to his level and then beat you with experience.

                        Thanks for the compliments.

                        Actually, haven't added up the total expenses as of now and now chances of remembering everything are between slim and nil.

                              This is the the only hassle in this ride.

                              Other than this, it is preferable if you change the rear tyre of your FZ since it is puncture prone.

                              You will find links to all the details in the first post itself viz. medicines to carry, preparations etc.
