Actually am a city rider and i find some problems with full face ones
don't know its just me or everyone but full ones decrease my peripheral vision and in raipur where traffic rules are not followed strictly you need your peripheral vision very much

But still what you are saying thats also true that because am confused which one to buy

Re: Hero Honda Karizma ZMR

Bhai by clutch less shifting are you referring to both up and down shifts. Or just the upshifts caused that!!!

Re: Hero Honda Karizma ZMR

Hi,
Sorry to hear that. Clutchless gearshifts should be done very cautiously. We have to fully understand how the engine rpm will fall back or hike up and also at what rate the engine speed will change from gear to gear. For gradual speed up or slow down, clutchless shifting do not cause any issue. But for rapid deceleration clutch must be disengaged. For rapid acceleration there is no problem with clutchless upshift. Only downshifting should be done with care. For example, if you are in 3rd gear doing 40kmph and about to slow down to 20kmph you have to downshift to 2nd. 40kmph in 3rd and 20kmph in 2nd, the rpm will be same (+ or - 500 difference), you can downshift without clutch (when engine is about to stall)( no throttle blips required). If you are going to downshift from a higher gear to a lower gear and if the rpm in higher gear is more than 1000rpm(not more than 2000rpm) in the lower gear which you are going to select then also you can downshift without clutch, but you have to blip the throttle to increase the engine rpm to match the lower gear ie just before downshifting you have to accelerate a little (blip)

Re: Hero Honda Karizma ZMR

I think you have broken it while downshifting.

[MENTION=41586]Divya Sharan[/MENTION] ji: i just saw a white ZMR passing towards Kanyakumari / Nagercoil bearing regn number JH09 P.... Was that you?

Re: Hero Honda Karizma ZMR

Yes, truck driver is currently around Rameswaram [emoji1]

Re: Hero Honda Karizma ZMR

Oh. Thats a great news and it was really surprising to spot a fellow XBHPian in road, that too in my native (Kanyakumari). If he is heading towards Kanyakumari, he would have reached there by now. Moreover, i had my first long journey in my ZMR from Chennai to Nagercoil (667kms) and it was a fuzz free and pleasant journey.

@Divya Sharan ji: Welcome to Kanyakumari. I would be glad to catch you up if its possible with your travel schedule. Please let me know if you need any idea/help in finding accommodation here.

Re: Hero Honda Karizma ZMR

Hero finally decides to stop ZMA & ZMR production. They killed beautiful machines, sad death ! Hope we will still get spares.

Re: Hero Honda Karizma ZMR


Spares in Mumbai are a task! In July, I had to chase them for body parts! Finally after emailing, calling and running around Fortpoint Mahim managed to get them for me. I've been waiting for a rear foot rest since July** Even things as simple as that aren't available... Depressing handling by Hero...

Re: Hero Honda Karizma ZMR

Thanks mate! Sorry for seeing the post so late.
Yes it was indeed me.

Lol thanks. The truck is currently in Salem for the night. Leaving tomorrow morning directly to office. [emoji14]

Re: Hero Honda Karizma ZMR

Ha ha ! Must be having fun with long weekend traffic [emoji1]

Re: Hero Honda Karizma ZMR

Feeling sad that we could not meet. But who knows, seeing the length and breadth that you are trying to cover with your truck, i wont be surprised hereafter even if i may see you in Mount Road, Chennai on next weekend

In between, how do you manage to make such a long trip and then to drive straightaway back to office ji? Doesn't it make you tired?

Re: Hero Honda Karizma ZMR

Ha ha thanks. In fact, I do have to visit Chennai some time soon. And yes, it's just an excuse to hit the highway.

To be frank it is a tiring affair. But then you steal a moment or two here and there with slight adjustments to make the most out of a trip. After all, we don't get to see these places often!😊

Re: Hero Honda Karizma ZMR

Well said.. Reminds me of my Chansal Pass ride 23 hrs of riding and in office the same day after sleeping for an hour

Re: Hero Honda Karizma ZMR

Was idle in office, hence decided to start the trip log. Just mobile snaps updated as teasers.
