Hi everyone this is Pravas, Just got a used karizma R [9000 Km's on the Odometer] . Would like few help on the initial problems that I faced.

To begin I've a little knowledge on bikes and got it from a used reseller shop. Before the test ride, bike was fueled by Rs 10 worth of petrol hanging through an external container. Bike started easily but whenever it was given a little raise on the accelerator it used to stop. Finally the mechanic cleaned the spark plug and did something with the spanner, it was fine then. We filled 2 litres of petrol and off towards home. We were halfway through the journey and suddenly the bike had the same problem mentioned earlier. We pushed the bike and fortunately found a mechanic around 9:40pm. Suddenly the bike started working on its own, its not that I didn't try all the way pushing it. What could've gone wrong?

Then there are two other small problems, Low beam which does not work and one of the tail light does not work. Both I guess will be fixed by changing the bulb.

Now my main concern is to know how well the engine is. NO complaints with torque but the bike screams and is not smooth above 60kmph. I would like to have a mechanic in Chennai who could spend some quality time on bike and have a look at it.

I need to change Oil and Battery so any suggestions on that would be great help. Any additional tips on maintaining the bike? How much will it cost for an overall service that covers everything?


Hope to hear from you guys.

Thanks All.
