    Ok, now i get it. Thank you.

    I will then go for 35W low beam projector and 55W Halogen for Hi-beam. I hope this set up wont drain my battery.

    Also, can you suggest which brand should i go for - Low beam projector 35W xenon?? I presume Halonix will be a good brand as @Divya Sharan suggested them..

    I will have to buy both of them online itself as my place wont be having any of these...

    So should i go for 35W xenons for both Hi and Low beams or 35W xenon low beam projector and 55W Halonix (i presume its a Halogen bulb) H7???

    How is the throw and illumination of 55W halonix??

    Sorry i am asking so many questions, i am kind of new to all these..

    Your bike uses 35W at a time for headlamps. You can easily put a Low beam Projector (35W) and Halonix H7 55W bulbs (from P220) for high beam.

    Hi beam projectors are useless.

    Seat as away as possible from the tank and try to keep your back as straight as possible. You'll be used to it gradually but it still pains a bit(minor) in excessively heavy traffic. I guess that's common for all bikes with aggressive stance.

    Sorry guys for posting the pics late, was busy with my work. I posting the pics of my Karizma ZMR [Red] below.

    Apart from a minor hiccup in the begining, the bike's performance is very good. Since am new to this kind of sporty racing ride set-up, during long rides my back and my right palm aches a lot. I hope getting used to this bike solves that problem. Seats are very good and provide a comfy ride - very very happy with them.

    I feel the suspension is set to be on the stiffer side, please suggest to which setting i should change the suspension in order to get better soaking up of bumps.

    The brakes screeches a lot, even when the brakes are not applied. I hope it will go away once the break beds in as [MENTION=41586]Divya Sharan[/MENTION] told me.

    I want to change the front lights to something better - please suggest opinions on what can be done?? Click image for larger version

    Ask Honda Unicorn's starter relay or CBZ Xtreme's. It's the same unit. Basically any relay would do. Just ensure it has a 15/20A fuse attached in it.

    [QUOTE=Divya Sharan;1154556]No idea about online stores, but any local Car Accessory shop would stock MINDA kits.

    For the starter relay:
    1. Open seat fully.
    2. Remove the battery cowl/plastic cover (2 + 1 screws)
    3. Locate The starter relay in front of battery. Google its images, you'll get to know.
    4. Pull it out, unscrew the old relay and screw the new one.
    5. Reverse all

    I havent done anything like this before. I dont even know what a starter relay is, where it is located and where i can get that... is there some guide which i can follow for replacing the starter relay and can i purchase MINDA relay kit online - if so do provide the link.. Thank you for helping out

    Also, why did the starter relay go AWOL...

    Thanx. I remember having a discussion on this forum about air filters and I guess the lifetime was mentioned as 7500 kms. And I have already done 13000 kms but no one at the ASC ever told me about it during the services

    Sent from my One Plus One!!!
    7500 or 8500 km depends upon the surroundings. I replace them at 9-10k km only. It is clearly mentioned in the manual to replace air filter at 10000 km at max.
