this is all because of a small clutch switch near clutch lever, i think every self start bike has one switch but it may not work because of its malfunctioned now or any other reason. just checked your out.

its really feels proud when u start in self.

i felt bad when one day i drove splendor old one and just stalled middle of traffic and need to go thorough all the gears for neutral then start.

^^ +10.
The only reason is clutch switch. Either its disconnected or malfunctioned.
Btw, choose the most appropriate gear according to need/speed & bike wont stall, unless there's any problem.

Okay... I didn't know that there was something like a clutch switch too. I'll get it checked ASAP.

If you are in a real hurry (in the middle of traffic), you can go for the self start in any gear.
But otherwise i would suggest getting back to neutral and doing it, as it hardly takes a couple of seconds more.

It happens in my RTR160 as well. My bike self starts in any gear. When I press the self starter button, the bike keeps on jerking forward and then comes to life.
Does it cause any problems to the bike?

if it happens first time in morning cold starts (with very mild jerks) then it's normal.
It happens because cold oil acts like some sticky thing with clutch plates.
Try pumping your clutch some couple of times before starting.. Bike should start without jerks.
If it still jerks then get it checked.

Hi all,

I have a small doubt.
I've seen people starting their pulsars and yamahas in any gear using the starter. I mean, pull in the clutch, press the starter and voila, the bike comes to life.
But, I don't get this privilege on my Karizma. Is it the matter with all Karizmas (ZMA-Rs/ZMRs) or just something wrong with my bike?

No its not in all ZMR , it is some problem in your bike may be in clutch switch as said by our senior member's above . When ever you fix it please give update as it will come handy , if someone got same problem again

Its the clutch switch indeed. I'd a conversation with the service engineer at the HH A.S.S on phone. He said its a minor fix. I'll get it done this Saturday when there's no office.
I guess this problem may have stemmed last month when the clutch wire had snapped (mid traffic)

. I'd got it replaced.
Anyways, I'll keep you updated!

Cheers!!!

it happens when the plates form a layer of oxide on top of it. its a very easy fix, usually there's a small copper plate below the clutch held by 2 screws, just take off the screws, rub the plate with a sand-paper & you're done with it.

Bike with the A.S.S people.

Gave my bike to the HH A.S.S for the 4th service @ 6900 kms on the odo.
Mentioned about the bike not starting in gear.

But I was happy that my bike didn't play games with me today. I'd a problem with starting the bike; ie. it took at least 4-5 pushes at the starter (in any season for the past 4-5 months) to start.
However, at the SVC, it would start at once.

Today, it didn't start in even 5 tries. So, they'll check that too.

Will keep you guys updated.

I'm a happy rider again........

Got my bike just now at 5:30. I'm happy with the results.

I think complaining HH about the issues helped me. Firstly, the mechanics recognized me instantly. They even remembered my white beauty and even her registration number.

The starting problem seems gone now. Also the bike came to life in gear with clutch engaged. I was super happy. I feel the SVC people have done a good job for the first time in my "n" number of encounters with them.

P.S:- Only one nagging cute little problem persists - the left RVM comes loose after a while, say 25-30 days. The right one stays firm. I read this in the ZMR Ownership thread too. Though I get it tightened for free, but still ???

**Honda_CBF** · 11-25-2011, 07:38 AM

Glad to know you are happy with it..

btw, it was a minor problem which can be fixed easily.
Happy riding..
