@Priyatam: Easy man. It's easy to misjudge the underlying tone behind a post. Nobody is starting a war here.

You don't comprehend good, do you?

What Ken here meant was that the bike is known for being pretty much bullet proof in terms of reliability, so this issue definitely comes across as a surprise.

As for the thread starter, let someone else ride the bike and see if the problem appears. it could just be your riding pattern for all we know.

Is that a perception? cause if you read the quoted text below, my take on it was that this thread was posted in the wrong section and was moved to Help Section since "ZMA was having a problem"

I'm just afraid of another boring brand war/discussion here, so couldn't control myself and hence the post.

I consider the Zma gear box to be one of the best in the business in our country (barring the new Yams and the GSR).

If you guys see me start a brand war, start a petition against me!

Let us hope you guys will help out the guy who needs the help.

Common guys i don't smell any brand war here.

If i would have written this "So you start the war and someone else takes the beating at the end ?" my intention would have been to have some leg pulling and fun with my senior fellow biker(though MOD).

And this is just a common reaction "Zma having a problem!!! "

So lets help the troubled buddy..!!

Cheers

If there are miss shifts and harder gears at times is suspect three things.

1) Clutch cable is stiffened or hardened ( need to be replaced)
2) Clutch plates gone.
2) Clutch bell or pressure plates needs to be checked.

Contact Mr Muniswamy @ Nikhi motors sadashivnagar, a very nic eperson indeed.
