Re: Hero Karizma ZMR (2014 version)

Didnt know humans had juice in them. You already know touring and biking stuff more than me , but keep yourself hydrated at least thrice in an hour . Heat waves plus aur gears take a huge toll.

Re: Hero Karizma ZMR (2014 version)

It happens. Take care. Stay hydrated.

Re: Hero Karizma ZMR (2014 version)

Was riding bike for 4 days and the sun took away all the juice left in me.. I can't believe I am driving a car out of my own choice

Re: Hero Karizma ZMR (2014 version)

Heat waves brother, heat waves. Bikes are either parked at home or in office.

Re: Hero Karizma ZMR (2014 version)

Ok . Thnks for the help. !

Re: Hero Karizma ZMR (2014 version)

High speed crosswinds affect faired bikes more than the naked ones, and at those speeds your bike was as already pretty light, so I guess what you faced was pretty normal.

Re: Hero Karizma ZMR (2014 version)

Noticed for the first time

Was riding during a windy highway - I felt wind blast around 115-120 kmph - Is it normal for karizma ? gave for inspection about steering and ball bearings - but did not found any problem - steering alingment was correct - looked for suspension - but that too is ok - cone set is ok too - then also why the bike felt like wobbling (like when the wind was fastly blowing at the right direction - the bike too moved slightly to the right , but during normal riding - there no such problem) the bike is 154 kg then also the bike wobbled during the fast blowing of the wind ??

Need some help / suggestion

Re: Hero Karizma ZMR (2014 version)

Yes why not , but chances are the showroom in Mumbai will have more ZMR and not the R ! - but you have to order the Karizma R 2014/15 edition and they will supply it , that happened in my case - I wanted the Yellow and they did not have that colour in WB so they ordered it and within 1 week I got the call and bought it . Any other ques ?

Re: Hero Karizma ZMR (2014 version)

I want to buy 2014 edition of karizma R any chances i will get it??

Re: Hero Karizma ZMR (2014 version)

Thank you , and subho noboborsho to you and your family too !

Engine Oils I used.

Reverting back to Motul 10w30 - reason I missed the pick-up and top speed of my bike .

Previously my machine used to have this speed , and I want the speed back :-

1st gear - 30 kmph. - (now - same)
2nd gear - 60 kmph. - (now - same)
3rd gear - 80 kmph. - (now - same)
4th gear - 110 kmph. - (now - 100)
5th gear - 130kmph. - (now - 120)

There is a speed drop in last two gears and also 3kmpl mileage drop (tough I don't care about it) - so have to revert back to 10w30 5100 - SS - will be using for about 2000-2500KM.
