gonna ask racingter big bro le...

duno if he got field tested it or not...

 

haha,Never thought of using that since i have Dozens of old G2 working attire waiting to be discard.Some 100% cooton some more very absorbent,Long live the salvation army!!!

[Yatz86]

i am getting about 20km/l.. hope it can get slightly better.. but no complains for now also.. haha..

anyway, when the R meter starts clocking mileage means running on reserve already? how many litres is the fz6 reserve? 3l?

 

R on the meter indicates bike is on reserve...i forgot the figures for the litres of reserve:faint:

 

but what I can tell u is that reserve can clock 88.4km till dry.

 

Tried and tested:thumb:

and how many KMs have u pushed?

[pichudot]

btw, it's good not to let ur whole tank turn dry b4 u pump la... it's bad the "health"...

go reserve 50km better top up liao... at least...

[gwzc_mk2]

er go easy on the throttle...

 

btw if ure still running in should be ok to get that fc.....otherwise normally a stock FZ6 fc can get around 19-24km/l:thumb:

i'm quite easy on the trottle leh. usually change gear ard 3-4k rpm and on sg roads i dun really go above speed limits one. or issit becos i am heavy? ard 90++kg

 

meter now is ard 4.4k km, so the first 3k km had been run in by the previous owner liao. or do i need to run in more?

 

udually u guys change gear at wad rpm one ar?

around the same, usually around 4k rpm i change gear...

 

might wanna take note that city riding has lower fc as compared to expressway riding...

 

my f/c around 22km/l...70% highway, 30% city agak-agak

lol, look at the bright side,

 

at least u get to workout a bit:angel:

[pichudot]

usually i change gear at 3.5k to 4k rpm on all gear levels...

sometimes in foul mood or something, change gear at 6k rpm... hahahaha...

i think once my scors comes in, there will be a frequency of changing gear at higher rpm...

[racingter]

and how many KMs have u pushed?

 

hmmmmmm.....lost counts,but the experience is "priceless"

 

 

When ppl look @ u from their car window,u Can just neglect them and continue with the "andy lau" image...while u r pushing and balancing your bike.

Unfortunately, for the FZ1 you have to heavily de-restrict & calibrate the air/fuel ratio in order to tap onto its potential ..BUT wants you manage to do it

[CrossOver]

just changed my coils today bro,how many did you have to change?

 

Got my bike from HL liao.. Total damage for the prob:

 

1. ignition coil $90 (1 only)

2. screw and nut $2.50

3. o ring $7.00

4. Labour for changing coil $60

5. Labour for flushing and cleaning fuel tank $80

As what i had suspected.. i had the very same prob with my previous FZ1N. Think itz a common prob for FZ...

Now must figure out how to wash the bike without getting too much water into the tank..

Damn Unique charged me $140 each coil w/labour..thought it would be much lesser than HL:faint:

Ouh.. You mean $140 x the number of coils??? Woah!! That means HL is much more affordable

can share wat r the restrictions n wat can b done? i only heard of a few but dunno wat is it.

water getting into the tank? how much to get the seal replaced?

i changed mine 2 weeks back. $105 per piece with installation.

[dolf]

Hi skateboy,you changed at Unique too?

FZ1 gen2 Restrictions(in my opinion);-

-airbox intake*

-exhaust/header cat*

-secondary flies*

-cables restrict main frame air inlets*

-exhaust weighs a ton & is choked

-lean air/fuel mixture

-high gearing

-low rearset ground clearance

-EXUP*

-speed display reading out by around -6% of indicated speed(estimated on most bikes)

-bad suspension set-up(definately have to calibrate the preload/rebound/compression to rider's weight/style)*

-FCE required for '06 model

 

* indicates able to DIY if you know how

..hope all this theory helps someone:)

[mild_slevin]

oic, i din knw that 09'model were e last for fz6. ya under seat exhuast is gd,even as u change after market,u dnt hav to worry it get stolen.

 

ya if purchase revo,i save on road tax n insurance..

 

 

 

 

no offense taken bro i still doin my maths,im thinkin more of a long term. i hear now wit e yen gone up, revo machine price is quite high too..in e end otr its abt 16K++

 

thats y more ppl r gettin fz6 instead.. otr cost lesser..

 

mild n dragonforce - i'm lookin for a naked version..

 

its been awhile since i last bought a brand new bike, usually wats e freebies or package that come along for a new bike(Hel brake hose,slider). anymore stuff that e shop will give or i have to ask for?

 

Saw SBK LV pipe on FZ6... very nice conical shape... but stock looks great too. If ya wan REVO, I saw a few sale on the used bike thread.

FZ6 N.... not bad... but my personal view is that FZ1 N looks better.

 

Freebies? Hmmm usually items are a set of rain coat and helmet... sliders n hose perhaps ya can ask for them? My camp mate got his during the purchase of the bike... very important

[skateboy]

Hi skateboy,you changed at Unique too?

i changed mine at tachyon motor... changed them due to erratic firing. batt oso change due to poor starting.

How much does the battery cost..?

[skateboy]

battery cost $180 when i change. but i heard there is a raise in price but how much more i'm not sure. cos the battery we use is gel type. so its more ex.
