Re: Hero Karizma ZMR (2014 version)
Hi, I am posting this on behalf of my friend who took delivery of his ZMR last month :-
1. Is it harmful to fill in slightly thicker oil then recommended in the front forks to make it stiffer?
2. Can he start using Valvoline Champ 4T 20W40 Semi Synth oil from 1K onwards?
3. During 1st servicing, the mech told him that one needs to pour 1.2 lt oil after complete dismantle or else 0.9 so will there be any problem if my friend fill 1 lt oil?

Guess you have no other option that to set it right by yourself, for assistance you can use the DIY guide in my signature. But my personal opinion is that you wont notice much of a difference in Karizma's if the tappet is in fact set loose, only noticeable issue would be the weird clatter.Originally posted by Shakthi Vijay Sha View PostLeave a comment:

Re: Hero Karizma ZMR (2014 version)
yes sir, you're correct..Actually i own a zmr 2014 the mechanic who adjusted the tappet noise simply did that with his hands by just looking above and feeling the gap.. he said he adjusted the gap to 0.1mm.. but still I'm hearing the tappet noise when travelling at 60's.. and slight loss of power i.e pickup then the time of buying..Originally posted by ashwinprakas View PostLeave a comment:

Re: Hero Karizma ZMR (2014 version)
Oh, same pinch. After replacing the cylinder kit under warranty they did the same, I didn't bother going back as Sarin bro, Psr sir and Aneesh bro had already helped me do it once, so did it on my own. Karizma's and Pulsars are easiest as they have dedicated tappet covers for convenience.Originally posted by Divya Sharan View Post
The SVC people go by feel, they don't use a feeler gauge. So do think twice before getting it done, unless you can take your own feeler gauge and approach them and get it done in front of you, as most SVC's dont even have one.

Re: Hero Karizma ZMR (2014 version)
That's what they did! It was set loose from Day 1 and is rattling. The SVC asked him to come back after 10 days or so.Originally posted by ashwinprakas View PostLeave a comment:

Re: Hero Karizma ZMR (2014 version)
Why bother, they won't do it right anyways. Better keep riding and later on do it yourself when it starts to clatter.Originally posted by srikanth kvnap View Post
And I've heard from SVC that the tappets are initially set loose, tough I'm yet to hear a new bike making tappet noise.

Senior,Originally posted by psr View Post
I got head assembly, cam shaft and roker arm replaced.
But still I am not satisfied. It preform well in downhill surface and disaster in uphill roads.
Also I doubt that front sprocket has issue.
Is any senior guys help me from Bangalore. I could bring my bike for inspection on weekend days.
I tried to drag the bike at 50kmph in second gear but it struggled a lot anything above 40kmph and engine tone become very harsh after this incident the engine tone changed little and vibes at neutral.
I feel bike sluggish no feel of power and torque that it has on paper.
Other end svc blame on hero on design and modification. But I notice a strange thing. Bike feel smooth when when air filter box make loosen and let breath extra.Leave a comment:

Re: Hero Karizma ZMR (2014 version)
I being cheap would just pressure wash it and then go with SAE grade oil.Originally posted by worrisomebear View Post

More usable rev range and torque, top end would be more or less the same, only thing being you would be doing it at a higher RPM.Originally posted by rreneav1987 View Post

He had reverted back to stock after a spirited hill run. Assuming that the gun metal bushes gave away(P220 17mm, ZMA 15mm gudgeon eye), causing play leading to his cylinder getting scarred.Originally posted by psr View PostLeave a comment:

Re: Hero Karizma ZMR (2014 version)
Open the chain covers and front sprocketOriginally posted by dhaval826 View Post
Remove the chain
Clean with diesel
Spray wd40 on the chain links
clean both sprockets with diesel
and put back the chain
grease it
Use 2T oil to lubricate as well
also i would suggest you to keep the engine oil drain interval at 1000 kmsLast edited by worrisomebear; 03-02-2015, 03:16 PM.Leave a comment:

Re: Hero Karizma ZMR (2014 version)
Yes...The final drive ratio in chain and sprocket is being reduced.....Or else go for overbore version...from CRFs Only with Weisco piston kit..CRF's Only - Your source for Honda CRF information, performance prodcuts, parts, and accessories better still get the NEW ZMA/ZMR piston with high compression which will give you approximately 1 bhp bump.Originally posted by rreneav1987 View PostLeave a comment:

Re: Hero Karizma ZMR (2014 version)
but by doing this, aren't we going to lose top end? of course, the acceleration would be far betterOriginally posted by psr View PostLeave a comment:
