    I have seen the same pic, but there is no mention of the same anywhere on the internet...
    Will the R15 v2.0 mudflap fit ZMR....

    2. In most cases i hv noticed i change gear as soon as m at 4 Rpm as the vibrations are a lot.

    Yes, its true there are vibrations at 4k-4.5k rpm and you can hear them as well..
    But once i crossed 4.5k rpm range noise is too negligible or i cant hear a thing because of windblast..

    As for vibrations, at <4k rpm i felt vibrations mostly on my right hand and >4k rpm vibrations are felt mostly on my left hand and i went uptill 5.5k rpm the vibration noise isnt there but i did feel the vibrations on my left hand....

    May be its an engine thing.. but once you hit the 70's its a pleasent ride.

    The one thing besides comfort that i liked about zmr is the wind deflection... Man!!! Not even a slight deflection due to cross winds even at 85kmph (max speed i went), where as my hunk was floating like paper @70kmph...

    Also can you suggest a mud guard for the rear tyres, rear tyres is spraying mud all over the pillion seat and rider...

    For braking, use more of front brakes. Maintain something like 70:30 front:rear ratio.
    No am not satisfied with both lights... but i dont want anything to happen to the batteries.So i decided to change the high beam only..
    But if you can suggest something better that wont effect batteries as well, i will take a look into that as well...
    70:30 braking ok..will do that..thanks bro..

    Since ZMR has more electronics than Hunk, it would naturally sap more battery power. But then it has a more powerful alternator to take care of the things. Just that your usage will not let it make optimum usage of itself.
    Though weekend runs once in a while should keep it engaged a little longer.

    Even if you fit 2 55w bulbs it will not kill the battery at 5k. So you can comfortably change both headlamp bulbs.

    Sorry if i was being rude, i didnt mean any disrespect... this is my first major bike and i dont know anything about bikes, eventhough i love riding 'em.
    The thing is that, i just rode my hunk, cleaned it (on the outside), took it to SVC at regular intervals and thats about it. These things - alternator, chain cleaning, fuse, FI, are all new to me. I want to maintain her properly.

    I have no plan on changing zmr....
    My point is that by the time it hits >15k kms it would be like 4-5+ yrs...
    Even if it gives 10k+ kms on one battery it would be fine for me... i thought it would die like after 5k kms or something like that

    I think by the time it reaches that mark, i would have changed my bik, mostly..
    I have been the owner of hunk for 5-6 yrs and it have done like 21k kms only and changed battery twice...
    So if ZMR can do 20k kms it will be like jackpot for me, although i plan on doing touring on her too..

    The more i came to know about bikes the more confusing it gets...

    P.S - the battery charges at all RPMs but for most efficient charging cycles; RPM > 4000.
    With so less running, I would guess 20k km at max.

    If changing the bulbs will effect the battery then i wouldnt change them, since i dont wanna get stranded in the middle of the road like last time...

    Buy Halonix 55w bulbs. OE H7 bulbs for P220. Since only one bulb glows at a time in either beam, you'd see improvement.
    Using a relay is not mandatory. Battery isn't affected much if daily riding is >10-15 km.

    I have been using Keiti pads for 4 years. Great quality. I got it from PlanetDSG as well.
    I use Viaterra Fly tankbags (without magnet). I tend to avoid magnetic ones as they scratch the tank.
    Lube your chain every 400 odd km. Clean it once a month. More frequent lubing and cleaning in rainy season.
    Do NOT let your chain run dry.
    @Divya Sharan... Thanks bro for the advice and i will take look at viaterra fly tank bags as well..

    If u can please try checking if its at 4k rpm.

    This bike has 2 persisting problems the head looks nd the 4k rpm vibrations. If these can be rectified it will hv huge sale boost.

    Other than that its a peice of the art bike.

    [MENTION=74480]dhaval826[/MENTION]... i have vibration below 4k only but i will check it and post here at the earliest possibility..

    Head looks depends on the perspective of each individual.. i didnot like the headlooks when i saw them on photos but my view changed completely when i saw her in person. Also i didnt care much about looks as my priority was mileage, riding comfort and handling.But, She is a beauty and a head turner everywhere i go, be it good or bad.
    Eventhough, I love being the center of attraction, i have to constantly check on her. The people back at my place are complete nut jobs (last time i found someone sitting on the bike while talking on the phone and playing with the indicator switches - i had to yell at him - stupid fellow)
