You have done very well to change the oil with a bike of doubtful service history . Keep replacing the oil every 2000-2500kms, drain old oil hot . Do the usual cleaning and servicing of other parts as required routinely .. try to get the owner's manual and read it .. you'll get the idea . No need for any engine cleaning/flushing etc , it has the potential to cause severe harm to your engine . Engine flush products are for cars . If you wish , you can visit an HeroHonda ASC and have the centrifugal oil filter inside the clutch-side engine case cleaned . But I doubt even if that is necessary ... since your bike's engine is running fine .

ok bro...
so i guess flushing is bad for motorcycles...

flushing is not required if oil change is done regularly but if if the engine is too dirty then use cheap 4t oil and ride for 1000 km and drain it with the engine hot and again use the same procedure for next 1000 km.

Bro don't mind me saying. But don't you think it'd be best if instead of doing these petty maintenance rituals you save up some cash and go all out on an engine overhaul??? After all its your bike and it deserves the best, take Aneesh Bro's bike for instance he didn't even know what an oil change was until 6k and after he'd done his overhaul his bike's performance was at its zenith and still is now. Infact its the only ZMA I know that starts with one push of the starter even after being idle for weeks. Hope you get my point.

yeah, definitely going for an overhaul...
Aneesh bro told me to do it...
i even went to svc today...
just the ovehaul costs rs880...
& the supervisor there said that the max amount for overhaul & servicing engine like new would be rs4000...
saving money for it now...
& also waiting for some parts to arrive...

Go ahead bro, and I believe its cheaper cause IIRC Aneesh bro had to pay close to 2k for the overhaul. And please be present when they do the overhaul, cause no matter how good the SVC people are, its your bike and no one's going to care for it more that you yourself. And dont forget to opt for the stock filter box and filter too i.e for utmost reliability.

Stock all things like seals, washers, O Rings etc and replace em while overhauling. Dont hold back anything while doing an overhaul, try to bring it to 100% perfection. And you wont ever again be disappointed.

OT.

Which SVC do you go to??? Aneesh said you're from Alapuzha. Im studying at KNPY(Amrita), And as far as I know there are'nt any good SVC's up there, so as a suggestion it'd be better you bring the bike to Kollam, Diya Motors or Venad Motors. They're the best HeroHonda SVC's i.e comparatively.

i'm also planning to do the same...
the svc guys told to do everything together & then they will adjust the price...
i'm going to east venice motors, alappuzha...
friends say that they are only worth free service...
but, on speaking with the supervisor yesterday, he seems knowledgeable...
let me see...
i'll be giving my bike for carb cleaning this week itself...
if they screw up something, i'll come to kollam...

By overhaul they are mentioning about carb cleaning, head carbonizing, valve lapping and other general check up. Since it has run nearly 30k kms then these are required and your bike will feel like new.
Also check whether the clutch plates are OK.
A complete overhaul is not possible in 4k as it requires complete dismantling and reassembly of engine by replacing worn out parts.in a karizma it will cost about 8k.
But these are required after 1 lac km.
Do the general servicing as i have mentioned above and your bike will feel like new.
