You mean to say that the 220 is relaxed as compared to the zma? A better tourer?

Can anybody else agree/deny this claim?

Strange. I always thought the ZMA is a bike you cannot go wrong with, if looking for a fast-ish comfortable bike, but now,

Re: Hero Karizma ZMR (2014 version)

Owned and rode both, the ZMA is a bloody awesome trail bike and is uber comfortable on the highways, my max is 1340kms in a day.

The P220 on the other hand is a strictly tarmac only bike, doesnt insipre confidence off road, but is a better tourer, cause of the added gizmos, my best is around 800 to 1k in a day on it, used to be my shuttle between Kollam and Bangalore, not as comfortable and if you push yourself you can end up with a shifted pelvis(happened to me) but its more fun as you can actively do 120ish on the highways effortlessly, where as post 100ish the ZMA looses steam and things start to get really booring.

Re: Hero Karizma ZMR (2014 version)

Does any fellow xbhpians tried top wack with new ZMR. I am curious to know if anyone managed to hold it post 130+ without wobbling issues.

Everytime i try on "NICE" ring road in Bangalore its just stuck at 122kmph. And holding it for 115kmph constantly is painful.

As vibes kick post 100kmph.
Its not the case in old zmr or zma the vibes only kicks post 115kmph its doesn't even bored me while holding it post 100kmph.

I suppose that you have the older ZMA, which has proven tourer credentials. Its the new one that I'm talking about. I heard they messed up the ergos big time.

Indeed mine was the 2011 model, sitting on the new model gives me the same feeling of riding my ZMA with P200 handle bar. More control, less comfort.

Re: Tik-Tik noise after riding .

When I finish my ride I hear a certain "TIK TIK" noise coming from my bike . Tough it is not constant but it happens . The bike is new and only had 2088 KM on the odometer . I use Shell Advance Ax7 10w40 from Amazon and have no problem with it . I have completed my running in period which is of 1000 KM . I always kept within 60 kmph during running in period . And every 2000 KM I change my engine oil , oil filter , drive chain grease and drive chain tight , spark plug clean . This are my regular maintenance . But still it happens the noise . As per the noise I use to hear from my friends that their sports bike do the same noise . I want to know why it happens . Thanking you .

This noise is common on most of the bike after the engine becomes a little hot sand then you stop / park the bike somewhere.

A well informed list! Keep a habit of checking tappets (valve clearance) every 4-6k km. The mild tik tik sound you hear on a cold engine is from the tappets. Both inlet and exhaust clearance should be set to 1 mm though a few of us maintain 0.9 mm.
The tik tik sound that comes after parking the bike post a ride comes from the cat con in the exhaust and that is normal.

Speedo readings aren't accurate hence you see a difference in the indicated and mobile gps figures. There's a marked error upto 5 to 8% for obvious reasons. However Duke 200 and ZMR (FI) have realistic speedos.

P.S - doing such high speeds on public roads is downright dangerous!

That is a myth. Apart from the ECU and fuel pump, you can work on pretty much everything. Even the fuel pump can be worked upon to an extent (with the same set of tools and knowledge).

Thank you . But I have a question - should I turn the knob clockwise to tight or anti-clockwise to tight the knob ?

Universal rule:
Clockwise tightens and anti clockwise loosens.

AX5 and AX7 both are SS. Shell Ultra is FS. You can safely move with AX7.
Stock plug is ok but if you still want to upgrade, opt for g power plug from ngk. Model name is DPR8EGP9A.

Thanks for the quick reply.
Have you been using shell for long time? I've heard that shell is only for higher rpms and not for city roasds.

Nothing like that. A lot of riders including me have used the oil and it performs well all round.
