hi aysuh, i just sent an email to mr. kannan. with a list of problems generally encountered in the karizma. also asked him towards the end as to how to make out whether our bike was "in a perfect state of tune" or not.

you surely are an amzaing person. with more experience than any of us on this forum.

one word of advice, stay away from mr. kannan. also keep your bike away from him. why you ask? read mine and rohit's previous posts and you will understand.
Thanx for backing up man.

Wow, Is that your answer?? Show more of that stinkin attitude and no one will be willing to help you out. Then again why do you need help when you know everything and what you dont know about Mr. Kannan will help you out there?

EDITED: Removed a few offensive statements.

Aha, a post 8 years old... But it was fun reading through.

My steed - Karizma ZMR (Pearl white)
ODO reading - 9000 kms
Bought on - 09/01/2011 (13 months)
KMPL (city) - ~42
KMPL (highways) - ~45

Note - I never exceed 70 in city and maintain speeds between 70-80 on the highways with occasional bursts to triple digits...
Max speed touched - 119 kmph.

Which bike? Anyways, 2 Rules are there:

1. Don't touch the carburettor unless you're sure there's a problem in it OR it has been mis-tuned by someone for sure.

2. If you're sure that it has a problem/ mis-tuning that service personnel don't attempt to correct, then do something about it yourself:

Your bike's Carb should be having 3 major screws (speaking about BS26/ UCAL): AFR, Idle RPM and drainage. See them below:



Do these steps to adjust it:

1. Switch the fuel knob to off and drain the carb's dirty fuel by opening the drainage screw for 30 seconds or so. Let the fuel flow but be very sure that no naked flame/ heat source is nearby. Then, tighten the drainage screw back and switch on the fuel.

2. Tighten the AFR screw fully (towards right) and then unscrew it full 3 circles (1080 degrees).

3. Ride around the town for 4-5 kms in hot weather, and then adjust the Idle rpm screw so that it shows 1500 rpm idling while the engine is heated up.

4. Again the next morning, see if your bike starts in first crank. If it starts with rpm needle around 1000-1100 or so, then your work is done and leave it like that! If not, proceed to Step 5.

5. If the rpm is too high in the morning start (like above 1200), adjust AFR screw towards right (tighten it by 0.25 circle) until it is 1000-1100 rpm.
OR
If it doesn't start in the morning start, adjust the AFR screw towards left (loosen it) in small steps (0.25 circle) and crank it after each attempt,

After getting it started at 1000 rpm or so, go back to step 3 (ride it for 4-5 kms, adjust idle rpm again to 1500) and come back to step 4, UNTIL Your cold start shows 1000~ rpm and heated up engine idles at 1500~ rpm.

TUNERS NOTE: Be aware that morning start+ idling also depends on the season, Oxygen in the atmosphere and the air temperature. This guide is ONLY to correct some extreme mistunings to the carb. Also, different bikes have different idlings, so adjust accordingly.


Quote:
NOTE: Senior members, If I'm wrong somewhere, please correct me as I've learned this by tuning the P180's carb myself by trial and error and from some info from this forum.
But it is doing good now, giving 56 kmpl on 50-60 kmph open roads, and performance is acceptable too with morning starts in just one crank.
So, I'm sure I've tuned it the right way.
