Query approved.

From what you have said it is evident you had tire issue to begin with and it was solved when HH changed the tire...after some time HH had changed the tire ONLY again and you got back the problem...obviously the New tire fitting is not done properly , or the replacement tire is equally bad.
Bike Straying to the right is not a good sign..either your front to back wheel alignment needs correction(check the rear wheel position markings on both sides of swing arm ie., chain tightening alignment), or the cones are to be lubricated, or the fork alignment is off.
Take it to HH SVC and sit on their neck,to get it sorted.

Since you say that the problem was solved on changing both the Mag wheel and tire,how did you keep quiet when they offered to only replace the tire and not the wheel also???Get the wheel also replaced ASAP else they may shift the blame on you by claiming that you may have driven the bike on potholed roads and the impact caused damage.They may also suggest to you to claim insurance to get the front wheel replaced.Do not do that and Fight for your right.Most important do not tell them that you touched 120 on your bike they may just use this to turn the tables on you.

Hey buddy,
you got reply from PSR Sir, the automobile genius, specially in Karizma. Just do check what he has suggested. And yes, you've the right to fight, else they will blame you for everything.

Thank you all for replying. I will definitely sit up their head and ask them to also change the mag wheel. Will keep you guys posted

@ zma@mybabe you said firstly they changed the complete front wheel with alloy wheel , then after getting the tire they changed the tire , that mean the alloy wheel you have is of that another Karizma , is that a new undelivered bike or bike comed for servicing ? If you haven't got your own alloy wheel then they have fitted your alloy wheel to that another Karizma & delivered to the owner , or if you have got your own alloy wheel back , there are most chances that your alloy wheel is also misalligned get it replaced , also check for the other things as psr sir said .

Good luck.

Hi, thread owner Please check 'Tyre lining' by some experienced tyre work shop and ask him to get the lining by inflating tyre with 60-80 psi then bring lining then decrease the air pressure to 25psi if it reverts back and lining is lost then replace tyre also check alloy wheel (disk) it wont be out still formality's sake and then axil Bearings and finally the cone bearing of handle (top and bottom I hope it helps you my intention is just to help.. to follow or not is your own will and wish Thank you Best of luck

Hi Guys,

I did visit the workshop a week ago and nobody there was willing to help me. A mechanic asked me to contact the salesperson who i bought the bike from. Finally the guy bought a brand new zma r on tc no. and asked the mechanic to swap the front wheel and front tire from(the whole set) from the new bike to mine (PS: before doing that i also test rode the new bike and it also had front wobbling issue). I guess its a common problem with the 2011 zma. After the changes being made my bike and a new problem occured. The bike steering started shaking at speeds of 40 thru 60. Next thing i went to the pump and filled correct air pressures in both tires but still the front wobbles and the ride was very bumpy. However today i got the time and i took my bike to one of my trusted mechanic since i was dissatisfied with the workshop guys. My mechanic opened the whole front portion(The T, checknut, cone set, etc). He asked me do a fork thru since the bike was tilting towards the right when hands left. He also removed the cone set and inspected for any cracks but the coneset and the no. of ball bearings up and down were the same(21 up and 21 down). I then took the front axle, the whole t and the shock ups to the tuner and got it aligned. The axle was perfect but the T was slightly out
so got that fixed. After assembling the bike back still the damn wobble. I am extremely irritated with the bike. Please help experts

PS (Just my insights guys, could the damn tube be the culprit since MRF claims that the are having some common issues with their tires but i feel its the Tube. What say guys.) and one more very important thing below

Today before going to local mechanic i also visited hero workshop and the supervisor there took me for a ride to check what was the problem. In no time he landed at a tire shop and asked them to fill 30 psi at front and 34 psi at rear and then we moved on riding. When i rode the bike after the air being filled the wobbling completely disappeared but the bike became very bumpy so while going home i went to the fuel pump and on the actual machine checked the pressure and was shocked to see figures like 45 in front and 49 at rear. I really cant ride the bike with these figures and have a bumpy ride. Its too risky at high speeds. The above mentioned statement indicates that the tube could be the culprit. What do u guys have to say?

Thanks to all of you in advance.

issues with your bike..reminds about the problem which was there with my freind's hunk purchased in april 2010...

the bike handle would wobble even at 40kmph...first they changed the dunlop tyres and tubes...still it was wobbling...then they changed the front forks..still it wobbled...then when the tyre pressure is increased, the wobble would disappear...but they ride was bumpy...when we reached the svc, guys simply said u might have rode the bike into a pothole..it was an unresponsible reply..bike had done just 230kms at that instant..then they asked to leave the bike in svc for 3 days..

when we went back and took it for a ride, it was awful..same problem..then we contacted hero moto corp headquarters through e-mails...and after nearly 2 months of fighting with them....they changed the handle bar, tyres, alloys,forks...the problem disappeared ...

still no one in the svc was able to find what caused the wobble...i suggested to be in touch with headquarters till ur problem get solved....

many of the hero moto corp dealers think their job is to sell only bikes...not bothered about service...

which service did u go in mumbai pls let us noe more abt it???

Re: wobble.
You said, the first time you changed wheels, the problem disappeared. Why not focus on the wheels. Unbalanced wheels can cause excess vibration. Unbalanced wheels means, one side of the wheel is heavier. Hence wheel balancing is done to get it right.

Re: turning towards right.
Lots of possibilities.
1. Bent chassis. Unlikely if no accident and bike is new. However defect chassis from factory cannot be ruled out.
2. Wheels alignment. Rear wheel is not properly aligned.
3. Handle bars are not properly centered. Or there is difference in weight distribution in the handle bars.
I faced similar situation when I fit clip-ons. Somehow the two rods were not of equal length . So one side of the handle was slightly longer. Bike moves towards right when hands free. Took some time to set things right. I inserted bar weights, and also adjusted the clutch and brake levers to counter balance the weight. Mind you, the clutch/brake lever with the mirrors attached are quiet heavy and can offset the balance. Now my bike runs straight as an arrow .

I had similar problem of wheel wobbling not very long, just within few days of taking delivery. Went through the same methodology of asking them to change the tyres since I had good rapport with them. They took an existing bike non delivered bike's rear wheel set and fitted on to my bike. It was ok. After doing some 1200km ride did not feel good about the tyres so changed to Michelin - M45 and I'm good now. Not to offend MRF, the tyres which comes along with ZMA suck big time.

Dear, could you tell me where can i get my wheel balancing done. I reside in malad west in Mumbai.
