After my ride to goa, I had become confident that the FZ is very confortable for long distance touring. the strong build and capable chassis make it comfortable and confident on the highways. This time , I planned to head to nashik , but before that the bike was in need of a service . The noise from the handlebar had resumed and the chain seemed to be at the end of its life ( I am partly to blame for this since it may not have been lubricated as often as required at the service the bike got a new cone set, fresh brake shoes and the chain sprocket set was also replaced. Yamaha also felt the need to replace the wheel bearing ’to be safe’. The total job vost 4, 129 of which about Rs 3, 000 was for the part and the rest for the service . The result was a refreshed and happy bike.
