    unless you really need to michelin's coming in india aren't totally original i wanted to put these in my honda city but my friend who owns a tyre shop told me that they come from china and they are a little soft for indian roads so i decided to go for bridgestone as for karizma the hero honda company wanted to give a better FE kept the tyres skinny but now the bike looks skinny too
    now michellin m45 is officialy launched too.... u can buy from an official dealer... with bill

                ZMR does not have self cancelling indicators.. nor will it give you a buzzer sound when the indicator is on... so need to do that manually

                  its just because of the shadow the colour seems to be darker one side.. as far as i know there is no change made in clip on of ZMR... still the same for all ZMR

                    i have seen M45 tire shown in earlier pages it is pretty good... but when i think of getting wider tires i think the one that Fazer has provided by yamaha..at least it should be that wide..it should look a complete sports bike then

                          Completed my THIRD Service on SUNDAY 29-Aug-2010 @ 3166 kms.
                          Did a paid one this time intentionally.
                          It was Rs 550/- for Oil Change, Booster Oil & Fuel Injector.

                          The entire fairing was opened and refitted. No vibrations now.
                          Feels absolute brilliant now.

                          But a shocker for me!!! Need to change the FRONT disc pads in next service end Sep-2010. It has worn out. Cost is approx Rs 2200/-

                          Friend please confirm the price and is this normal??
                          34567 kms and ZMR sold :(

                              Normally ZMA/ZMR disc pads are nissin made and would last on an average 15k kms. my zma disc pads lasted a surprise 26 thousand kms...you dont need to change disc pads at all...

                              did they use a solution to clean fuel injector?

                              cost of disc pads is 2200..these are nissin one.. i would suggest that instead of those nissin ones u can go in for local ones for around 250rs...after atleast 15k kms

                                I would say, instead of local ones go with OEM ones but not of HH.
                                RTR's pads are straight fit and 350rs for original pads. Atleast they are not local.
