        • Karizma 250

          Guys any news about new karizma 250? the wait is killing me but I m still thinking of waiting instead of getting zmr early by paying premium. Cos if in between karizma 250 comes then I can think of that and change my booking to new 250

          • @ZMR owners, is availability of spares still a problem ??

            And , any xBhpian ZMR owner from Hyderabad?

            • Another white ZMR added to Pune roads today!

              I got the bike in under 60 days - which was a little earlier than my expectation. The bike had done only 1 km when I got the delivery (I just hope they didnt tinker with the odo). I was surprised to know there was no reserve - main fuel knob. So, you have to rely on the digital indicator for that. Also, did not do any teflon coating as I was trying to rush to office (dont ask - lot of work today - shifted house also). Will get it done when I go for my number.

              Drove on the highway from wakad till pashan and then back to hinjewadi. It felt very good - but i guess it will be smoother in the days to come. Kept my speed between 55-65 on the highway and tried to keep it between 3 - 4 k at all times. Wanted to just open the throttle but controlled myself.

              The seating posture is very comfortable - initially it did feel a little awkward because of the RVM on the cowl - but got used to them pretty quickly. They do seem to vibrate on road hence making the rear vision shaky - hope the vibration reduce.

              The digi indicator is prtty erroneous ( I am sure) - I tried to see how much I can top and I could get a 136 kmpl on it at about 53 kph in 5th gear going down a 3% slope. There were cross winds - I am sure if the wind was behind me - I can get > 150.

              The rpm meter is pretty neat. I am going to get the manual later and then try some of the settings in the configurable panel. Will keep updating...

                  • today my bike got A1 service but it was of no use
                    they changed my right side upper & lower cowl again for free & also changed right side rear cowl which was damaged during delivery
                    but as soon as i took a spin i can fell the vibration & weird sound from silencer
                    they told me to change back my rear tyre to the original one

                    & i visited metro tyres as i was passing by
                    i asked how much for the change
                    he told me to pay 500 for the mrf tubeless [stock tyres of zmr] in exchange of my M45 120 [i had payed 1700bux for M45 in exchange of my stock tyre which he considered 1000bux & my m45 has only clocked 1000km ]

                    & i meet AMIT SHARMA personally again he also told me to visit the workshop again to fix the problems [which i won't has i dont have more free time ]


                    is any zmr owner free in mumbai this days
                    as i want him to show the difference


                    @mohsin
                    i was talking with him & i found that he knows you

                    • Almost three months since I paid the booking amount and still no signs of getting the bike. I was expecting to get it before the end of March but bad luck. I visit the dealer every week to inquire about the status but even he is not willing to commit a timeframe. Today he said he has forwarded many emails to the company about the demand for ZMR here but he is hardly getting enough bikes as compared to the demand.

                      I wonder what HH is upto. Why did they launch the bike in the first place if the production of the bike is so minimal.

                      Guys, any suggestions what should I do ? My patience is running out with each passing day.

                          In the last three months, after the initial lot of 8 bikes, only one white ZMR was received by Bhanu Automobiles, Hyderabad. Now, they are not delivering this bike as they do not know to whom to deliver out of many bookings. So, they happily put in display instead of delivering it.

                            • Drove a total of 70 km yesterday - In the morning I got up on my own at 6.30 am, got ready and was off to office at 7.30 am - I do not do this usually

                              I noticed and my right RVM is vibrating more than my left one. Probably a loose screw or something - will check it out.

                              I want to find out about the bike cover - where can I get a good one? I need to buy it soon enough.

                              Also, I will go out to the showroom again - they didnt appear to know clear coating - where do i get it done - I assume it is better than teflon coeating?

                                Same is the case in every showroom Ravi. Still no concrete news or info about the cause of delays.
