  • Hi guys,

    @kotr,
    i got my bike on 25Feb

    Max speed i have done is 110, but the response i felt it could not go beyond 120. ;(

    Guys can i change the engine oil to castrol or motul or shell ?
    Will it void the warrany?
    Anybody tried Castrol power one ?

    Will be taking for service this weekend

    • Some Issues

      Hi All,
      Probably I am an absulote newbie considering the riding experience you have guys.
      Done only 350 kms in 10 days. Actually today after I fixed the License Plate it is now officially ridable on Roads.

      Meanwhile the Rear Tire has become TUBELESS in ZAPPER-Q yesterday.
      As promised earlier some Photos of the new rubber. Have your feedback friends.

      Some issues observed for all ZMRs.

      1) The right rear cowl Karizma sticker will peel off soon.
      Reason: The alphabet K is on the bend and hence there is always a natural gap. Not the case for left rear cowl.
      2) The front License Plate needs to be removed.
      Reason: It touches the apex of front headlight and there is a small black scratch. I have hardly ridden. Not much potholes. No big jerks.
      Observed this today while installing the numbers.

      Mohsin has done it on front wheel cover. Black ZMR owners will not be able to notice this.

      Please have a look in the above two issues and give your feedbacks.
      34567 kms and ZMR sold :(

              • Even 150cc bikes are having 110 tyre now. I do not understand why ZMR is plonked with the puny 100 tyre. They could have made the tyres specially for ZMR, like R15 and Dazzler.

                            do the michelin people fit the tyre themselves

                              1) The right rear cowl Karizma sticker will peel off soon.

                              Reason: It touches the apex of front headlight and there is a small black scratch. I have hardly ridden. Not much potholes. No big jerks.
                              Observed this today while installing the numbers.Please have a look in the above two issues and give your feedbacks.
                              1)In my case, both the stickers are good, none of the stickers is peeling off.
                              2)There is a gap of around 5 mm between the front number plate and the apex of the headlight.

                              I don't know if it's just me but my stock MRF tyre never skid even once. And mind you I'm NOT an uncle-style rider
