ya ..got it
but water get stuck near tank
check the 1st pic
the whole circle area [upper arrow] get filled with water
what is this hole [lower arrow]

and in 2nd pic
the karizma sticker is peeling

@Veryhiphop
Here are the Pics.........

the hole is for the removal water accumulated there...and it is normal, dont worry./

their is a drain pipe which drains off the water accumulated and is attached to the hole you have mentioned. It's not normal, water should not accumulate, it should drain off or the excess water will get spill over into your fuel tank ....

so remove all the bends of the drain pipe and check the free flow of water from the lid cover.

after about a month i started my zmr[the battery was removed, so i charged it yesterday from a battery shop], it took 3-4 cranks to start up.

after starting when the bike was idling i pressed clutch lever and noticed a slight change in engine sound, sound is audible only near engine.

have anyone experienced same in there bikes?? if not pls try pressing the clutch while idling and carefully notice any change in sound by listening near to the engine.

is this sound normal?

Yes, i too has experience a different sound if press clutch in idle mode...i think it is normal and sound may be heard different may be because of fairing as sound may surround in it...

Is it some sort of problem?....pls advice...

Members,

Actually I was very busy in the last TEN days. Annual OFFICE meeting & COUSIN sister's wedding made things hectic.

But generally speaking I have observed the FIT & FINISH of the Bike is not upto the mark.
May be I am wrong as comparing things from the old days of CBZ in year 2000 when it costed around 65K.

Myself being an ECONOMICs guy I understand that money value has changed in the last TEN years.

I ride safe, easy (like uncles) and follow the 4K RPM (60-65kmph) rule.
Have done around 950 kms in 29 days. The tight feeling of the parts is no more.

I repeat I am not complaining or bringing the engine scenario. May be I am too finicky or OLD chap of the block.

Meanwhile my BIKE is no more a VIRGIN angel. The service centre guys have put a deep gash/scratch on the right.
Though checked it during delivery after first servicing on 02-Jun-2010, they disguised it using some makeovers.

Ironically since it was on a corner servicing bay it was done by some inexperienced dumbo on the right corner.
I was concentrating more on the left since a Senior mechanic was explaining, working and detailing me on the bike.

Yes lesson learnt in a hard way.

The Teflon and polishing guy dropped in the afternoon that day when it was noticed.
Polishing and Teflon neatly done by these guys for Rs 650/-
Got one Microfibre Cloth (Magic Wipe) for Rs 150/- and One Step Polish for Rs 50/- Everything for Rs 800/-

The person came to my residence and did the job. Fantastic job done. Will come whenever I give him a call.
Service for free. Besides will get TWO full polishing in a YEAR. In fact he has volunteered to heal up the wound also.



Manan,
Check the drain out pipe. Clean the water by absorption with dry cloth.





Neo,
+1 to Worrisomebear. In fact IIRC his bike is now almost SEVEN months old. (Mohsin correct me if I am wrong)

As a fact every TWO months servicing is required as a thumb rule.
This is the reason I said earlier things are not that good now.
Actually even without riding things are not holding up.

Curse that b*@#$%^

Some inexperienced kid rammed into my bike today and i fell off and bent my handlebar..

Recently had my second service done. now i hav to go to the service center again..

will they be able to remove the bend properly ? to the extent that'll make it seem brand new.. i'm worried i'll lose that wonderful handling i was so accustomed to from my zmr..

same incident took place with me few days back including the bent handle,
but the SVC persons are changing the whole handle bar they say it cant be realinged

i guess this is sound of clutch mating with components.

Yes my bike is 7 months old.. need to service every two months...oil i change every 900kms

every 900 km...but i guess oil should be changed after 1500-2000 KM

Will this create any problem?..can this be sorted out... a



every 900 km...but i guess oil should be changed after 1500-2000 KM
