              Few things to be asked:
              1. How is the vibration of the RVMs.
              2. Fuel Efficiency you are getting presently.
              3. Change in bike's character after 2nd service.

              Thanks.

                    Some Updates !!! Called up all the Dealers today. I am doing this exercise almost every week for the last 3-4 months.
                    Only FOUR Dealers in and around Kolkata are taking a booking and delivering ZMRs.
                    1. AMIT Motorcycles in Howrah
                    2. AMIT Motorcycles in Prince Anwar Shah Road, Lake Gardens
                    3. VINLINE Engineering in VIP Road, Baguiati
                    4. BALAJI Motors in Diamond Harbour Road, Thakurpukur

                    All are quoting around ONE and half months waiting period except the Sl. 4.
                    They are delivering in a months time. But the BLACK colour has not arrived in the last two months. Even there is a sudden spurt in demand also. Normally in a month Dealers used to get 3-4 Bikes. The figure has gone up. Now it is around 10-15.

                          • @fastferocious:

                            1.I never faced any problem of vibrations of RVM's.
                            Does it vibrates too much (i checked mine ok, it was fine.NO vibrations)
                            2. FE - still i am not very sure on this but roughly around 42 i guess.
                            Ride details: Mostly city with one 400kms long ride.
                            Followed all running in period practises.
                            3.No man, nothing marked change in bike character, it seems just a lil smoother. ALso they have done engine tuning, though i am not sure excatly what was that.

                            @anmol
                            Bro i too am facing this problem and feels very annoying.
                            That sound while changing gears in speed. I spoke to service centre guys and they said its normal and it happens. Also spoke with few ZMA owners and freiends and they said karizma's gearbox is lil notchy and so i think we will have to live with it.
                            Correct me if i am worng other members

                                one of my orkut friend has changed his engine oil to motul
                                & he told me that the bike running damn smooth with it & also vibrations are gone
                                he urged me to change to motul
