Jatin: Nicely done bro...I think u got the parts some what cheap though. Keep us posted of any more changes....
Abhi: Its good to know you are gaining Much....As i remember the reason behind your putting the achievers front sprocket was that you were doing lot of touring...Anyways....My Updates are....I am having oversize piston...dont really know about the size...Well bored...Zma's camshaft....My bike met with an accident.... My Friend was driving...That time i had the k&n fitted in the air filter box....Got fork bend, Rim Bend, Bracket bend, Ferring did also break on he edges. The bike was running just awesome till this point of time. There was so much torque that in 1st, 2nd and 3rd with ususal ripping up the throttle the front end did come up. Now after the accident. All the pick up it had and torque its all gone. Its looses even to stock cbz...I know something is most definately wrong....I just need to trace it out...
Abhi: Did u get the zma's springs on ur cbz...? If yes then how...?

Memories

Hey guys i was just browsing through threads and came across one that, for the first time made me feel sad that i had to sell off my CBZ '99 model so i could buy a P220.
My dad used to use this bike everyday in the 4-6k rpm range till i was 16(Now 19 ), after which it probably unleashed it's full potential for the very first time.
I remember picking the CBZ when i was 9 years old only because it was one of the first bikes with a bikini fairing.
Only a fellow CBZ rider would know the sheer pleasure in riding it. Every time you swing one leg over the seat and kick start it, the engine roars making you want to rev even more!
What i loved most about the bike is that it was a no nonsense, performance oriented one. It was meant to be ripped hard, and then even harder, no two ways about it.
How i loved the countless times when i smoked pulsar 150's, 180's and sometimes even Zma's.
Guys if you truly maintain your CBZ well, then you'll know what i'm talking about, the grunt was simply mind blowing and till date i haven't seen an Indian bike with an exhaust note like it.
Unlike the new age flimsy machines, this could take any amount of punishment you push it through.
I had done a few modifications like changing the fairing to the Pulsar's, taking off the sari guard, putting a half chain cover, installing an RC1060 K&N filter, upjetting the carb and shaving the head, increasing exhaust port size etc.
I swear, when i ripped the bike hard under a bridge the noise due to the K&N filter and the exhaust was absolutely orgasmic.
I really miss it a lot.
Here are some pics of The Real Beast.

That is sad to hear bro.. time for you to sit with your mech & see where is the real problem.

I have'nt yet changed the front springs to Zma's..no time @ all from busy office

That's a neat looking bike.

What kind of performance can i except from a cbz 2000 model which has clocked 44k.Is anyone still using cbz 2000 model here.Would some owner of this bike throw some light on my question.

And what should be its ideal pricing.Seller is asking 25k!!

And boy how did i miss this thread. I own a 2005 CBZ Star - (black yellow)

This is my 1st bike and i was all hooked up to it the day i saw it. Lot of people suggested to go for newer technology aka unicorn but as you know, the heart was stuck with CBZ.

Initially, it was a dream to ride post 70. And as human tendency, the greed grows on you and then you want more, more power, more acceleration.
My bike is still in good shape but lacking performance or maybe i feel the need to push it harder which it doesn't & i dont blame the bike for it.

My bike is still in STOCK condition - planning lot of upgrades for it for a long long long time now..

Thanks guys for starting this thread - its a pleasure to be here. (will post my bike pics soon)

this is my 6 yr old babe ..

had done many engine mods like UNI ai filter , up jetting and proton exhaust , but now bike runs completly stock with Cbz xtreme rims ..

Using Petronas 5000T (Very happy), NGK irridium(just for the heck of it)
& NON catcon exhaust rom older cbz models !!

Bought Michelin M45 Front 2.75 and Rear 4.00 tyre yesterday will be installing it today and post the pics.

I have a 2001 model & I do not see any much difference in my bike to today from the day I bought it.

Buying second hand bike is always tricky.. if u have a good mech whom you know ask him to take a TD & see how is the engine behaving.

for 44k 2000 model 25k is little high, you can settle in for 20-22k

Cool welcome to the club, you can check through the thread & see some of the mod's pro's & con's which has been done by several other mem's

Sweet.. That bike looks real clean & good.

Do post the Pic's with Michelin

can someone plz tell me whether the "T"(thats wat i suppose its called. it is the black colour thing exactly under your handle which connects the handle and the forks.) of the cbz or hunk can be fitted to the karizma????

latest update with a help...

guys..
@all: sorry for being disappeared from this thread from so many days was busy with my presentations an all....
@gautam: welcome to the thread dude...
@chirag: liked ur ride dude. me also planning to put xtreme alloys in my babe..

i some days ago fitted a 35w HID to my cbz classic. so all of the stuff like relays and chargers have been fitted.. stock battery is also changed to 7 amp UPS battery... that was my updates and now the problem starts

HID for some 5 days till the time new battery is not fully drained did worked awesomely.. but as the battery drained HID started creating problem.
actually the charging unit is charging @ rate of the normal stock 2 or 2.5 amp battery. as a result charging rate is inadequate as per the 7 amps battery...
though i have installed a charger which is charging the new battery at much faster rate but is still inadequate.... so is der any more ways to increase the charging rate rather then coil rewinding becuse rewinding has it's own probs.i have heard off.

BTW i have dis functioned meter bulbs and the normal rear light bulb so as to reduce the battery load....

thnx
regards
Jatin

Bro i sold my 1999 model, ported cbz with a K&N filter and front pulsar fairing for 12.5k!! Do NOT pay more than 15-16k if the bike is in mint condition.

See the pics of my bike on pg 19.
