Could you please answer my other qyestion as well.. "pair of ONB means 1 for hi and 1 for low beam... is it like that or is the second one a spare??"

ONB - You get two bulbs of same specification. It's up to you , how you want to use it. As spare or fit on both beams.

I wouldn't recommend Osram Nightbreaker just because they are not worth the money you spend.

Philips/P8 Xenon's come as pair and a pair will cost about 10k/7k respectively for 35w.

That's only Xenon Bulb, not complete kit.

It depends on bulb types.
ZMR v1 has H4 bulbs. H4 bulb has high/low beam filaments both in the same housing. So, you get 2 pairs alike. Both have high/low beams. Pairs are usually meant for cars.

H7 has a separate high beam filament and low beam filament. I mean they are separate bulbs. Hence, a pair will contain 2 bulbs of either low beam or high beam.
But if I'm not wrong, ZMR 2 uses the same bulb for both beams. Just the reflectors are different. Please correct me if I'm wrong. Kindly take a pic of both your bulbs and post here. Try to take a close up.

P.S - Usually on H4 type setups, upper reflector is responsible for low beam and bottom reflector for high beam.

Re: Hero Karizma ZMR (2014 version)

Guys i have a ZMR 2014 and i crossed 3000km a few days ago. I had a lot of tappet noise nd 4k rpm vibrations. The SVC Guy was technically sound nd knew how to lower the tappet problm. But the 4K Rpm vibrations is still a very pending issue.

1. In most of my rides we ride at 60 65kmph nd tht is the 5th gears 4k rpm. Full vibration rides.

2. In most cases i hv noticed i change gear as soon as m at 4 Rpm as the vibrations are a lot, whereas in my bros duke 200 it feels so good to rev his bike without vibrations.

3. Has anyone found out how to reduce or end this vibration issue for the sake of ZMR.

Guys if u can help with ur views on vibration nd post some pics of ur zmr. Keep #ZMRThreadAlive.

[MENTION=41586]Divya Sharan[/MENTION]... sorry bro for replying late, was out of town because of work.. i will post the pics soon.. i think you are right they do use the same bulbs, reflectors are different.

I am planning on purchasing a tank pad, chain cleaning & lube kit and a tank bag...
For tank pad is this the right one - http://googleweblight.com/?lite_url=...qIlbb52lqcfdUg

For tankbag - i think i will go with Cramster Turtle..
For chain clean kit - Motul chain clean & lube kit.

Also, how often should i clean the Chains??

What are your views on the same.. please do sbare guys, thank you

[MENTION=74480]dhaval826[/MENTION]... bro, i dont have that problems, may be because mine is new; have only clocked 500kms on it.. mine vibrates at low rpms only but once it crosses 65kmph vibrations are not there..
Have you checked with the fairing?? Most say vibrations are due to loose fairing and you can use rubber pieces inbetween the screws of the fairing for tightly securing them.. i dont know much, am also new

Will wait for your post with pics.
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.

The faring nd head nuts hv been ti8nd nd i believe its nt tht problm becoz it doesnt persist at 5 or above rpm.

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.

@Divya Sharan... Thanks bro for the advice and i will take look at viaterra fly tank bags as well..
Posting the pics below, please take a look :-

[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)

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.

My daily riding doesnt meet that requirement, its mostly 2-3kms only(since i stay close to my work place).. my weekend driving is like 60-70kms (driving from work place to home).

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...

If you ride only 1-2 km ONE WAY in the morning and in the dark respectively, then no matter whatever bulb you use, the battery would die sooner than for other folks who ride longer distances. This is because the battery doesn't go through it's charge discharge cycles completely.

OMG... is that so... but my hunk had no problem like that or is it different for different bikes...
So if am not doing >15kms a day, what will the approx battery life...

15 km is an approx figure. The alternator produces 232W at 5k RPM. So, even if you ride for 100 km a day at <3k RPM it won't help much.
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.

It will last 20k km... you must be joking...right??
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...
