Re: Hero Honda Karizma ZMR

Looks sexy.. does it stick to the ground??

Only option is to take the bike to the ASC or to a shock absorb expert..

Sticky....cant say right now...ride today in morning and there are cross winds.....but during this 20 km journey not feel it tight..sticky...will update on this as i ride more KMs....

Anodizing aluminum is a chemical process which is not possible as DIY...and no one will take it up for 1 or 2 pieces...

Completely agree on this. Its usually done in XXXkgs or XXXmtrs of AL. Also, will definitely not be worth the price you pay for having it red annodized. The normal silverish grey(Standard for Aluminium) itself costs around 250-300 bucks for a mtr length of Aluminium pipe. non standard shapes require suitable mounts also which again adds to the cost.

Find urself a competent mech for such minor issues. Visit the SVC only for periodic service to maintain warranty. Chuck the SVC after warranty period is over.
Use double sided tape and cycle tubes for fairing. For the other parts, check washers for engine mount. Get all bolts opened and re tightened.

Re: Hero Honda Karizma ZMR

What I am fearing is.. Will a 250cc segment be able to compete with the growing bike industry in India?? i mean.. now people are looking into 400cc bikes.. if the 250cc from Hero is competitive price then it will be a great success.. keeping in mind the bike should produce atleast 30bhp raw power

From what I heard the HH 250cc is the product of Joint Venture of Buel and HH..It will be 25~27 Bhp and priced competitively...less than CBR price.

That should be pretty impressive.. all i wish is that they don't disappoint us like the way they did with ZMR specs.. atleast i was disappointed.. also, i hope its going to be a Sports Tourer just like the ZMR/ZMA.. but i won't be going for it.. i am waiting for a half litre from hero else it will be Duke 390 keeping the ZMR with me

I don't think 250 cc segment is get outdated...yes people are looking for more higher CC....but still 250cc bikes are very much in demand....

Not only HM...Yamaha, Suzuki and other manufactures are getting into 250 cc segment and 2014 will have lots of bike....keep in touch of Auto Expo to be held in Noida in Jan-Feb 2014 for HM new journey....

Hey Divya, did you find a washer for the engine mount anywhere ? I have been asking the svc guys for it since beginning & they have been telling me that the bolt is too short in length to afford a washer.. can you please give me some idea incase you are already using a washer ?

The only way HMC can do some good business in the 250cc segment n above (power segment basically) is by 1. producing something truly mind blowing 2. yet pricing the bike very competitively.
Else this venture or adventure would fail miserably. & that would be primarily for the following reasons.

1. HMC was never known for producing power bikes.
2. HMC bikes have been trusted more bcoz of reliable Honda engines & Honda is no more there as the savior.
3. The new partner is kind of unknown to the bike world & building the same amount of trust for a power bike in particular is extremely difficult. Just think that many people are still not ready to trust even a Hyosong
4. There are many branded players in the Indian bike market now. The competition is too high.
5. The exposure to even the common man is quite high now a days. With more knowledge, People want more in terms of everything except price. HMC fan base is already on a downgrade & the best example is Bajaj Discover taking over as the largest selling bike in India; surpassing Splendor.
6. Buying capability of people has increased considerably over time. People interested in buying power bikes no longer hesitate to shell out a couple more thousand bucks if they get a truly better bike. Therefore the key would be "how much less" HMC's new bike would be than the next branded bike with the same/more capacity.

For # 3, KTM is selling like hot cakes. Bajaj was never termed reliable n KTM unknown.

Pardon my ignorance, but is your Simota reusable?

If no, time to get a new one. If yes, follow steps as mentioned:
1. Dip it in half a bucket of water with 2 tsp detergent. (ariel/surf/tide etc)
2. Agitate it slightly so that it gets soaked in the foam well.
3. Leave for half an hour.
4. Agitate it again.
5. Rinse all the surf in running water. This has to be done properly, else pores would remain clogged.
6. Let it dry in the sun (and not fan) - natural drying is recommended.
7. Re-oil it with a regular motor oil/aerosol oil spray. Do not dip it in oil though. It should not be drowned in oil.
8. Wrap it in a newspaper and squeeze it slightly to let the extra oil dip out. - @ashwinprakas, please guide us for point 7 and 8.

I'm unable to locate Ashwin's thread on cleaning his filter. Darn, I hope I didn't miss anything.
