    A well informed list! Keep a habit of checking tappets (valve clearance) every 4-6k km. The mild tik tik sound you hear on a cold engine is from the tappets. Both inlet and exhaust clearance should be set to 1 mm though a few of us maintain 0.9 mm.
    The tik tik sound that comes after parking the bike post a ride comes from the cat con in the exhaust and that is normal.

    Speedo readings aren't accurate hence you see a difference in the indicated and mobile gps figures. There's a marked error upto 5 to 8% for obvious reasons. However Duke 200 and ZMR (FI) have realistic speedos.

    P.S - doing such high speeds on public roads is downright dangerous!

    Hi my name is Dipan Talukdar proud owner oh Hero Karizma R 2015 edition(Yellow Colour) . I ride usually 50-100 KMs all the day . When I finish my ride I hear a certain "TIK TIK" noise coming from my bike . Tough it is not constant but it happens . The bike is new and only had 2088 KM on the odometer . I use Shell Advance Ax7 10w40 from Amazon and have no problem with it . I have completed my running in period which is of 1000 KM . I always kept within 60 kmph during running in period . And every 2000 KM I change my engine oil , oil filter , drive chain grease and drive chain tight , spark plug clean . This are my regular maintenance . But still it happens the noise . As per the noise I use to hear from my friends that their sports bike do the same noise . I want to know why it happens . Thanking you .
    This noise is common on most of the bike after the engine becomes a little hot sand then you stop / park the bike somewhere.

    Indeed mine was the 2011 model, sitting on the new model gives me the same feeling of riding my ZMA with P200 handle bar. More control, less comfort.

    The P220 on the other hand is a strictly tarmac only bike, doesnt insipre confidence off road, but is a better tourer, cause of the added gizmos, my best is around 800 to 1k in a day on it, used to be my shuttle between Kollam and Bangalore, not as comfortable and if you push yourself you can end up with a shifted pelvis(happened to me) but its more fun as you can actively do 120ish on the highways effortlessly, where as post 100ish the ZMA looses steam and things start to get really booring.

    Does any fellow xbhpians tried top wack with new ZMR. I am curious to know if anyone managed to hold it post 130+ without wobbling issues.

    Everytime i try on "NICE" ring road in Bangalore its just stuck at 122kmph. And holding it for 115kmph constantly is painful.

    As vibes kick post 100kmph.
    Its not the case in old zmr or zma the vibes only kicks post 115kmph its doesn't even bored me while holding it post 100kmph.

    You mean to say that the 220 is relaxed as compared to the zma? A better tourer?

    Can anybody else agree/deny this claim?

    Strange. I always thought the ZMA is a bike you cannot go wrong with, if looking for a fast-ish comfortable bike, but now,

    Will let him know. Was daydreaming of converting HX250R into an EBR one (stickering, you know :P), I'm sure that I will feel like I could've waited when solid HX news comes out. Oh well.

    Well, sadly the newer ZMRs have this issue. It may have been amplified on the TR bike since those are badly ridden or hardly maintained.
    But, the smoothness of the yesteryears karizma isn't just there. Ask your friend to wait for a while if he can. Newer karizmas are around the corner.

    Guys, I just test rode ZMR (for a friend) and my God the vibrations were very much at 4-5k RPM, I could see my hands becoming hazy. Is this a problem with ZMRs or was the test bike in a knocked out state?

    I would like to know from you guys before telling my friend anything.
