Re: Hero Karizma ZMR (2012 version)
Hello there,
I was also planning for a ZMR and wanted your opinion on:
1. Pillion Comfort- Specially for ladies.
2. Headlight- Bright enough?, Can I install projectors on this or a mere bulb replacement will do?
3. Touring Capability- 90-100 Km/hr for 8 hours?
4. Speedo- Gear Position Indicator is present or not?
5. Saddle- Comfy enough for the tours?
Thanks in advance.

Re: Hero Karizma ZMR (2012 version)
Welcome to the club!Originally posted by Suman Rick Pal View PostHello Guys. Last month I bought an used Zmr from the year 2012 from a distant friend as he has shifted to Mumbai for job. It ran 50000 kms and so I got it a a very cheap price of under 40k. The body is fine with only minor scratches. The engine is very smooth. Now definitely being a used bike it has some minor issues like the bike gets heated up quickly- shall I change some cooling liquid?...the the handle seems to be little inclined toward right if unhandled while running- Can I repair it?... back light is operating for indicator and rear brake bu not with hand brake....What should be ideal cost to repair/replace these problems. Also it would be great if someone from kolkata can refer a mechanic/service center in north kolkata who can repair a zmr well. Address or phone number would do.
ZMR is an air cooled engined bike, so the only coolant here is the engine oil. Change it to any of the available 10w40/20w40 engine oils and get the valve clearances set. Both inlet and exhaust valves must be set at 0.1 mm using a feeler gauge.
For the handle turning right, if there hasn't been an accident, get the cone set and stem inspected and replace the cone set if needed. Change the fork oil too. Additionally, you can get the forks inspected for bends. Forks = front shock absorbers.
Maintain 29/33 psi in front/rear tires.
For the front brake not lighting up the tail lamp, change the brake lever and brake switch.
You'll spend roughly 2000 all inclusive with labour.

Yeah I hope that hero brings karizma brand back with a bang. I want hero to remain top manufacturer of our country. Seems like they are working on various motorcycles in premium segment. Source is CNBC TV18.Originally posted by Arijit Dutta View PostI hope they make something worth while and tension free this time. Sigh.

I hope they make something worth while and tension free this time. Sigh.Originally posted by marmiteminer View PostIn Karnataka, stocks are almost over. Total under 50 units remaining. Nobody buying, dealers offering 14K discount per unit.
But I believe Hero is updating the Karizma, not permanently closing it. But very tight lipped about it. An experienced sales manager told that it might take upto a year till we hear a news on Karizma twins.

A little bit of WD40/Zorrik88 for 10 min. Slight hammering at the sides and then use a bigger head screw driver to pry it out.Originally posted by ashvns View PostThanks everyone. Actually the head itself is damaged, I am not able to open the screws even with a Allen key

Thanks everyone. Actually the head itself is damaged, I am not able to open the screws even with a Allen keyOriginally posted by Divya Sharan View PostForget SVC, they won't have stock. Also, those allen screws are waste since the thread slips with time. Head to a hardware shop with the allen screw. Buy a similar sized normal screw head. Would cost 20 rupees at max for both mirrors.

Originally posted by ashvns View PostThank you for more suggestions. I think even the chain sprocket set is damaged, I should get a new one
Btw, screws holding the RVM are damaged, any idea if I can get a spare or I need to change the whole assembly
Get normal bolts from tvs. Use loctite green colour fluid for tightening.

You should get the screws from any SVC or parts dealer. No need to change the whole assembly.Originally posted by ashvns View PostThank you for more suggestions. I think even the chain sprocket set is damaged, I should get a new one
