THE STORY OF BLACK METAL MONSTER , [evil]


(it happened on 27-12-2014, 5.30 pm )

The childhood dream and child words become true , how ?
The love and little bit name knowledge of bike starts at 2007 around 7th class , thinks so usual visit to friend's house , his brother works at Baja showroom
lots of magazine on the table just picked one the sexiest one ‘FASTRACK ' the bikers lovin magazine saw the cover page : NAKED BIKE a red charming FZ
juz asked him the magazine and cutout the each and every snap of fz ,
and told him , bro when i grow up i will took this
he smiled it all happened at the age of 12
after +2 collected money go for some small jobs saved money for any ride
at that time fz price was soo long for me...

Dio : once roamed at friends dio , liked the power sporty seating , light weight
but after reaching around the budget for new dio
my friend took a seconds fz , again fz striked [evil]

Again fz rides makes me mad . love started .
collected all the pics from net around 500+pics on a folder name "The real bike "


Showed parents – convinced agreed to go for it ,
At that time on my birthday went to took a fz , saw on olx , reasonable genuine .
A midnight black one . with 35k+ odo and rear tire almost bald .
I called up my cousin he’s having Fz’s white and blue ,
He came and T.D the bike and not ok for the price he asked , also have to do change tires handle bend, cone set etc...
From there he called up his friend working in Hilton Yamaha , (anandhu)
While calling if you are looking for fz there's one almost new one around 9000+ running only very well maintained
Looks like new . but costly [roll]
So dropped the midnight black , and when getting time on whatsapp enquiring things about ride and begged for a pic of the ride . and the day came .
All set with cousin bro we went to there ,
Anadhu bro was there . a charm smiling boy
Meet up
Introduced the owner he's too young (it must be as he owns the ride )
Saw the ride ; didn’t expect this much almost new ,
I was like sreesanth :-

Both tyres looks new , got T.D - silent smooth felt like riding a showroom bike
Done the procedures and payments
And roll back to home
Filled for 500rs
petrol in the tank
and 3/4 bars on fuel indicator
makes me feel heaven

around 8 i took the ride and get home at around 10 ,
couldn’t sleep at bed , opened the door , stand smiling near bike
it smiles back (the shining )

Initial ODO - 9120 when i get on my hands
insurance expired as it crosses 1 year
Took insurance ,near cotton hill school ,
Full insurance : 1300+ something and pollution 60rs

When showing bikes to friends or my relatives
They asked man you bought new ride ?
That question makes me more smile wider
I got thrill mad happy
As everyone told you're lucky to get this
------------------------------------------------------------------------
as total its really a bulk machine with lots of attitude

Handling - gives so much confidence for a beginner
Power - the low end torque gives advantage in traffic
Chunky tyres - for the pleasure of cornering
the balanced ride for city and highways

mileage - has been got 42, when i got in my hand after that i played with AFR
got busted /-
anyway between : 32-40
depends upon riding

6th service (my last free service ) done at Muthoot yamaha ,

chain lube -110
that's all they charge , water washing and service was free of cost

hope they altered the AFR , felt bike little rough
i didn't tell them to do anything , eh

crossed 10,000 km ( for me i just did 1000 km )

recent chain slack ,
adjusted outside

The trip to Nagercoil ,
at parassala , at running bike shows engine warning light and within 2-3 seconds display and bike gets off,
at the time i saw engine warning light , pulled the clutch and parked
tried to crank the battery , bike didn't started.
for my luck bike stopped just few distance near a local workshop
the fuse got busted , there was spare fuse in the box , he used it ,

didn't cancelled the trip , moved on .
the bike felt calm as motul 5100 was used
revved upto reaching 103 with pillion .

after reaching home again bike fuse got busted , visited svc

he told have to check wiring if there is any problem have to change the complete wiring system costs around : 2500 incl labour

Carb cleaning
back break adjustment
clutch adjustment
fuse replaced , nothing wrong in wiring system
chain lubed

got bike back at evening itself ,
as there has less no. bikes for service on that day
