Disclaimer:
This review is truly from my own experience. And not to promote any product and organization.
1.) taking boy home :
I bought my bad boy ( fzs-2k14 model, bs-3,black-red) in may 2k14.
I am not impressed that much at start but days passes by i realized the consistency in him.
2.) riding experience:
The bike is stable even at 100+kmph. No engine vibration. Smooth and clear (if u service regularly).
I am 6ft tall eventually it’s a short bike but i didn’t feel that i have a short bike it’s always fun riding him.
Seating posture and fat rear tyre make u feel that u ride a bobber!!
I ride at least 100 kms daily for more than 2 years, i never felt any sort of back pain.
3.) looks:
Simply beast!! no other bike offers such aggressive look.
The fzs version 1 has large rear wheel in its categories.
Because of the rear wheel, the bike is stable at turns and absorb pot-hole vibration.
You will experience riding in race track.
Look worth for money.
The tank capacity is 12l in full stretch i get 500kms
4.) service and maintenance:
I usually do service once i ride 2k kms. Oil service cost comes around ?700 which includes (engine oil (shell) + oil filter +air filter + labor charge)
Water wash once in two week (?100 per wash) and for teflon coating (?400) [ teflon done once in 6 months].
I recommend user to use single petroleum from the start. It’s will increase the efficiency of your bike and engine life.
Chain sprocket life is 20k kms (if u lubricate 4 times a month).
Front tyre(mrf) range is 33k for me and back tyre(mrf) is 20k.
I don’t face any problem with clutch. Brake shoes should be changed after 20k kms. 3 months once full service is mandatory which costs ?2500. To ensure calibration and safety.
If you need a efficient bike then you need to spend 10k a year on average to have good performance.
Battery i use dry cell which is comfortable for me.
5.)pros & cons:
Pros:
Worth for money. Looks add value to bike & easily modified for our wish.
Spares are cheap when compared to other bikes.
Emotionally attached with my boy. Best companion during sad times.
Cons:
Bad quality plastic and default headlights are barely visible. ( i recommend white light which costs ?400)
