Now now, you guys shouldn't judge like that, its ultimately Dipan's and his family's decision, we are here to give opinions that let people make better choices, not give valuable life lessons about money or age or anything else.

Thank you sir

Re: Hero Karizma ZMR (2014 version)

Hello ! Posting here after a really long time. Own a 2014 ZMR. So in the last few months i had a hanging left indicator, a blown out white light, and recently the right RVM came out of its socket after a auto guy suddenly decided to come towards the left (mirror got stuck near the passenger area, luckily i dint fall).

So i basically panicked after i lost the mirror, as its impossible to ride without the RVMs. That's when the ordeal started. No Dealership/parts shop had a single right side mirror. JC Road guys told me "hero walo ko complain karo sir, ye log parts deliver hi nahi karte hain". That's when i decided to post my complaint online. To my surprise, i received a call within minutes of posting the complaint.

Also, magically the RVM appeared in their storage while the other parts are still not available (they took an order, and decided to close the complaint without asking me) Anyways am happy i got the RVM.

Meanwhile i also realised this bike uses 2 headlamps for low and high beam (H8's), which are extremely difficult to get and very expensive. Can someone please recommend a very good "upgrade" for the stock lamps.?

Oh and also just to change the "Left side White light" they said the whole left side indicator assembly will have to be changed. (Rs. 850).. Too much ? Do i have any other options please ? Thanks in advance.

Hello Everyone!

I just purchased a used ZMR 2014 model. Body condition, tyres, etc., all seems fine. However as I am new to FI bikes I find few things bit strange on this bike.

I am finding throttle response bit jerky at low speeds and also pickup is very low

I owned a 2009 ZMA, never experienced these issues and pickup was fantastic

I would be greatful if someone can help in this regard

Thank you

Re: Hero Karizma ZMR (2014 version)

First of all, congratulations and welcome to the Karizma club!

Regarding those issues, get the throttle body and injectors cleaned and you should be good to go.

Re: Hero Karizma ZMR (2014 version)

Thanks Divya!

I will service the bike at earliest and get these points done.

Excited for a long ride on my new ZMA

Re: Hero Karizma ZMR (2014 version)

To add to this.. Check the Air Filter condition and replace if required.. Same goes with the Spark plugs...

Re: Hero Karizma ZMR (2014 version)

Thank you for more suggestions. I think even the chain sprocket set is damaged, I should get a new one

Btw, screws holding the RVM are damaged, any idea if I can get a spare or I need to change the whole assembly

Re: Hero Karizma ZMR (2014 version)

You should get the screws from any SVC or parts dealer. No need to change the whole assembly.

Re: Hero Karizma ZMR (2014 version)

Forget SVC, they won't have stock. Also, those allen screws are waste since the thread slips with time. Head to a hardware shop with the allen screw. Buy a similar sized normal screw head. Would cost 20 rupees at max for both mirrors.

Re: Hero Karizma ZMR (2014 version)


Get normal bolts from tvs. Use loctite green colour fluid for tightening.

Re: Hero Karizma ZMR (2014 version)

Thanks everyone. Actually the head itself is damaged, I am not able to open the screws even with a Allen key

Re: Hero Karizma ZMR (2014 version)

A little bit of WD40/Zorrik88 for 10 min. Slight hammering at the sides and then use a bigger head screw driver to pry it out.

Re: Hero Karizma ZMR (2014 version)

Hi All is there any improvements in the 2016 Batch like reduction in vibration Etc.

Re: Hero Karizma ZMR (2014 version)

There is no dispatch for ZMA/ZMR in 2016. Production stopped in 2015 November only.
