Re: Hero Karizma ZMR (2014 version)

I know a few "experts" may disagree with me but, "Why fix it when it's not broken?" applies here.
If you happen to open the handlebar for some issue then you can inspect the bearings.

Pro-active maintenance should remain as maintenance and not repair. Sadly, the same experts change even engine internals and call it pro-active maintenance. That's called 'repair'.
10k is nothing if ridden well over not so bad roads. Chill for now.

I have not had to do any 'pro-active maintenance' on the handlebar of my bike except change the cone-set maybe twice IIRC so far.

Re: Hero Karizma ZMR (2014 version)

Thanks but what are the symptoms ?

Re: Hero Karizma ZMR (2014 version)

Khut khut sounds, difficulty in moving the handlebar sideways (not smooth like before action), handlebar movement while braking etc.

Re: Hero Karizma ZMR (2014 version)

Re: Hero Karizma ZMR (2014 version)

Yes, the same

Re: Hero Karizma ZMR (2014 version)

New problem/sound :-

Whenever I try to move the handlebar to the left side it sounds like squeaking - not metal to metal - One day i was adjusting the cables on the right and side , there too the squeak sound was there but with little adjustment the sound was off for few minutes but again is resurfaced - any highlight ? - the sound does not appear while turning the handle to right hand side .

Second Help

I am going to buy a new motorbike to add to my garage on this Diwali(too long I know) . Price upto 5 lac. List

Place - Kolkata.

1. Yamaha R 15 v2 - daytona upgrade (dad's choise)
2. Yamaha R3.( second as dad have it on his garage and wanted me to have one too)
3. KTM DUKE 390 ( my choice)
4. KTM RC 390 ( my choice)
5. Kawasaki Ninja 650 ( both choice)
6. Hyosung GT 650 R Comet ( no one choice )
7. Hyosung GV 650 ( same )
8. Harley davidson street 750( both choice , will be importing from delhi).
9. Royal Enfield Continental GT ( dad's choice )

I have excluded Bajaj and Honda and all the RE products except Continental GT - reason is I don't like those brands . Sorry no offence . I have also excluded TVS - their svc are worst and they have no 300cc + bikes and Hero they have not launched the HX250 and the Hastur . So have to go for this option.

Things that matters
1. Sporty/Touring position acceptable as accustomed with Karizma R - no commuter type style riding.
2. I don't need the mileage word - anything above 5-10 km/l is acceptable.
3. I will be driving everyday - 50-100 KM - need to travel fast .
4. Should have the T/Nm to overtake any one .
5. Have to be within 5 lac.

In garage - Bajaj Discover 100M (100cc) , Hero Maestro 2012 (110cc) , Hero Karizma R (223cc) - next 300+ cc .

Guys need help , as I will be confirming with my dad for the money .

Re: Hero Karizma ZMR (2014 version)

TVS XL , best one. It's quite famous nowadays on the forum here

Re: Hero Karizma ZMR (2014 version)

I think you should have posted in what bike section and both N650 & street 750 doesn't comes under 5 Lac price range ( if you are buying brand new bike )

Re: Hero Karizma ZMR (2014 version)

Don't get me wrong, but why does a college going kid have so many bikes? Why does he want more?
You had a near death experience not long ago (as per your posts) and with a more powerful bike, your signature may turn true!

Earn your own vehicles. Your dad has done enough already!

Re: Hero Karizma ZMR (2014 version)

This query should go into the "which bike to buy" section,

Anyhow for speed power torque comfortability and reliability and wide service network R3 should be the perfect choice.
You won't need anything more than this on Indian roads for high speed overtakes.

RC390 is too sporty.
And HD 750 is a cruiser, so you won't get the sporty cruising angle. Also limited Service Centres.

Attention seeking maybe? what pleasure in spending parents money
