Well come to the CBZ elite group bro..."At speeds of 160 Miles Per Hour or say 257.44Kilometer Per Hour You realize the actual speed of your life, Life is Supersonically Fast, Don't miss anything, cause you know it wont come back to you again" -
Indeed...Very true tech.....Originally posted by Technician View PostHello, actually it is an old bike which has been explored to its deepest cleavages. Many of the bikers on this forum have owned or ridden this bike in the past and have since moved on to other more appealing bikes. The new younger lot cannot lay their hands on this bike since it is not available in the primary market. Only the second hand ones, mostly in bad condition, are available. Even most of you posters here have purchased the bike second hand. Hence, no repeated and frequent posts. I think the thread will become a tool to help us maintain the bike in good stock condition with reasonable expenditure. Also in case, if any of us is able to increase the power/speed in a great way, there would be some interesting discussion.
Also, this bike was meant to be ripped (despite some harshness above 80 kmph). Down the line another few years, you would be able to tell your children that "I had once owned this beautiful and great bike"(in the Indian context).

kunjal singh one of our fellow xbhpian from delhi have used zma's engine in hisOriginally posted by chiragh View Post
2001 model cbz.. i have never ridden that beast.. but according to him it is difficult to control cbz with zma's engine at higher speeds... and for that he changed his spokes and got zma's alloy and 130 section tyre (dunlop monster) at rear to make bike more stable at higher speeds... and now he again switched on to cbz stock engine....
according to me installing zma engine for parmanent basis is not at all a good idea
because you have to change many things for that... yes for experiment you can do that..... anyways u can have zma's engine in city of meerut...
rest for more information you can anytime contact him......

It would look good.....never tried it.....but a guess is that apache's and new pulsars clip handles would look even more good.Originally posted by jatin_cbz View Postkunjal singh one of our fellow xbhpian from delhi have used zma's engine in his

..the handle started swerving badly..managed to tighten the grip on the handle but fell because of the shokups impact in the pothole..was dragged alonwith the bike for a good 20 metres and then i somehow managed to let go off the bike..the bike took a couple of summersaults and i too took 3 to 4 spins..was very lucky to escape with minor bruises...the point that i am trying to state here is that th bike started in d second kick and only the shokups went bad and the silencer plate came off beacause of the impact...goes to show the toughness and quality of this bike..it has given me all the more reasons to not sell it because after all it was the one that took maximum impact while trying to protect me as much as possible..the legend rocks!!

@krrishi - Get well soon and ride safe.
Was there any hint of improper setting of shockers before the mishap. IF not, then most probably the shockers were OK. IF the springs are old, replace them.
A simple suggestion, change to ZMA front shockers' spring and the chances of any such woes would be greatly diminised. It is a simple money-saving, life-saving, hassle-reducing mod which also enhances bike's handling a lot. Around a month back, my bike went over a 1 ft deep Gadda at 70 kmph and came unscathed. I just had to stand on my footpegs.
Ride safe.The Original CBZComment

@ maxx: thank you for your wishes maxx...will definetly follow all the suggestions that u guys are providing..and have made it a priority to ride safe even if am late..and in the proccess of buying gloves and kneeguards..my classic indeed is a screamer and for that matter evryone"s
@ jatin: thank you for ur wishes jatin...saw the pics that u had posted of one of ur rides..awesome is the word and very good riding gear..couldnt spot the knee guard..nevertheless nice pics...i am from mumbai the city that never sleeps..so i guess it will b difficult for the guys from banglore and delhi to meet up..but am still not losing hope..hopefully dat day should come soon
@ technician: yes before the mishap the shockups used to get locked frequently..when they go into a pothole or over a speedbreaker there is a loud thud sound that they let out..feels like the rim is taking all the impact..what could be the issue..and am shocked that the oil seals havent broken....will definetly try to implement your suggestion..any idea how much do zma springs cost??
Thank you all for ur concern and suggestions..rock on!!!!
