    The constant rubbing sound makes me feel that the brake pads are shot and there's metal to metal contact. Or that your brake rotor is bent. If either is true, you would need to replace both the rotor and pads.
    For the second noise, resembling a bird chirping is from the axle having gone dry. Get it lubed again. An overhaul of the front wheel assy would do your bike wonders.

    As per pillion comfort its definately improved, because earlier rider was leaned forward because of which there was too much gap between pillion and rider, so on braking pillion will just slide down to rider seat [emoji1] . But now as rider seats more straight and towards back so pillion can seat more tightly now on rear seat.
    This is awesome. What's the fork dia of this bike? Asking because I'm planning similar stuff with my R15 without screwing up the fork height or stuff.

    Regards.

    Thought so too. Unsure of the RTR as I don't believe that it caters to tall and heavy riders. The rtrs and pulsars are made for the height of under 5'9 for the knees to fit into tank recess. Thanks for the revert though.

    Generic 1 Pair Universal Motorcycle Motorbike Motor Rearview Rear View Side Mirror https://www.amazon.in/dp/B01AG91OCC/..._F4LTybXMSFA40

    Its price may show you more than 1200rs, but i bought for 680 rs on amazon as rates differ time to time.

    And one more major update, now i have resolved my handlebar issue, i bought karizma zmr 2009 version clipon handlebars and put them on my bike, fits perfectly well, now it really feels like a karizma to ride
    Have only 2 photos for now
    No backpain and wrist pain now, and pillion also sits comfortably now.
    Too excited to go for long drive

    Personally I think its not wise to go for a karizma at this point of time. If you're looking for a new bike then you can post a query in what bike section of this forum. BTW if a naked bike is what you want in that price range you might want to consider Apache RTR 200, it got some pretty good reviews.

The karizma has been around for a long time and wanted to check with owners if it still makes sense to go for a HHK in today's day and age.

    .
    Option1: I tried replacing them with old karizma zmr clipons which have good height, but then brake and clutch lever will hit front fairing.
    Option 2 : i tried to fit old karizma r handlebar bar base plate but old bike forks are smallers and fixed by top nut on forks so can fit that as well

    Now im thinking of ising pulsar 135 clipons. Does anyone know what is pulsar 135 fork tube diameter?
    Or anyone out there who can provide better solution, other than selling my bike 😅 cuz thats not happening as its my first bike amd dream bike.
    Anyone have old zmr used handlebars for sale, i need them

    Changed the oil to shell AX7. Smoothness has increased and vibrations are less now but acceleration has decreased.

    Correction *** gave up on 😅
