even my Hunk could take 55/60W

, then why not ZMR....! try it and if satisfied by beam throw then upgrade to better 55W bulb.

Guys, my friend's ZMR is facing trouble in morning starts. Today he called me told that he needs to thumb the starter 5-6 time in the morning to bring the engine to life. I found this strange as ZMR is equipped with FI so cold starts should not be a issue. Any guess what might be the problem?

Faulty Spark Plug!
Dirty Air filter!
Engine Oil Grade!

Instead of going mad over HID which will cost you ~800/- and branded might cost you more, my suggestion would be to get a new headlight assembly which will cost you ~1250/- and get a proper halogen bulb.. it will cost you a total of at max 2000/-

Well, i can retain that sexy look and also get a good HID within 2k

Just don't want to let go of projector and degrade to halogen. I know the hid I've used till date was pathetic, but there seems to be a better hid in the market with yellow-white beam. Just saw that today and illumination was amazing! Saw it on a Karizma-r. Will be doing the changes in January.

Re: Hero Honda Karizma ZMR

[MENTION=27501]rreneav1987[/MENTION] even I have told him to take a look at the spark plug. I think the new one should cost around Rs 80-100 (?). [MENTION=67572]Dr.Hemant Gajendra[/MENTION], Did you notice any drop in oil level?

if it is only in the morning, then it should be normal.. there might be some dew drops in the exhaust when you start the engine would cause vaporization due to which there might be litte smoke.. otherwise check for oil level..

when you are checking the oil level, make sure you follow the steps below.

park your bike in main stand.
let the bike stand in main stand for atleast 30 mins (so that the oil settles down properly to get the proper oil level.
the oil level should be at the max level..

(depends on when you changed the oil and how much you have used the bike after oil change..
[MENTION=50589]Traveller01[/MENTION] yup, it should not cost him anything more than 100/-

Ok, which engine oil are you using and what is the grade?? when did you last change the oil?? do you lubricate your bike chain?? when did you last lube it?? are you sure the engine is harsh?? or is it the bike feels rough? If the bike feels rough, check the air pressure..

You are using an incorrect oil grade for your bike. Start using 10w30 or 10w40 or 15w40 or 20w40.. and nothing beyond that.. i suggest you use Hero Engine oil for some 500-700 kms and then shift to Shell AX7 10w40 or Gulf Pride 20w40.. also lubricate the chain every 500-700 kms. It helps to keep the bike ride smooth and helps keep your chain life last longer... it contributes and plays a vital role in performance of your bike.

Hemant Bhai try Shell AX7 semisynthetic oil. I have recently started using this oil and its really good. Vibes have come down.
Cost is Rs400 (1liter).

20w50 isn't a bad grade if the place where you reside is super hot ! I have used Motul 7100, 20w50 fully synthetic oil during summer.

Even in peak bumper to bumper traffic with Sun right on top of your head burning with all glory the engine was butter smooth !
