Yes, he is Mohsin.

And I meant *new* models are coming, hence production is stopped. Yes, bad sales figures encouraged this.

Re: Hero Honda Karizma ZMR

I Got my bike serviced yesterday evening. Since then It's giving starting trouble. I need to throttle for the engine to start. Now I am facing a new issue : The instrument panel truns off and the FI indicator gets on when I press the Ingition button.

They removed the fuel tank yesterday and adjusted the tappets. There must be a connection

Re: Hero Honda Karizma ZMR

Now the FI indicator is constantly ON. It's behaving erroneously, now it's off again sometimes

Re: Hero Honda Karizma ZMR

It's hard to figure out based on this problem description, however throttling to turn on engine while pushing starter button indicates a weak battery, and the fi lamp glows with a pattern of blinks. Try to trace out the meaning of this pattern via the fi malfunction blink chart shared by Divya Sharan some months ago. Also trouble shoot other factors like instrument cluster cable loose connectivity etc. etc. adjusting of tappets do not have relation to start unless it's very loosely set and poor timing, not entirely sure though.

Re: Hero Honda Karizma ZMR

Have you washed your bike recently? Maybe water causing a short circuit or a loose wire causing ground too.
Additionally, open the battery compartment and disconnect the battery as well as starter relay. Clean all points and apply Vaseline jelly on the battery terminals only (yup, the same one you apply on your lips) and refit the whole thing.

Re: Hero Honda Karizma ZMR

There was some delay in getting my bike serviced. Utilized this long weekend in getting complete check-up. Now the engine feels pretty smooth, very happy with the outcome .

On fitting back the fairing bike didn't have any vibrations but after about 200kms the DEVIL is back

Things replaced in service along with price and part numbers (refer attachment) .

Mods, not sure of the reason but attachment thumbnails are coming very large.

Re: Hero Honda Karizma ZMR

Most probably 02 sensor is disconnected by mistake and it went to open loop mode . Re-Check the wiring and clean & refit like Divya sharan said. Alternatively you can use WD40 to clean contacts (use emery paper but thats too much sometimes ).

Re: Hero Honda Karizma ZMR

Hi Friends,

Facing s strange issue, when ever I leave my bike ideal for couple days the front disk brake is has no action. It has lease bite left in it, but after few KMs ride the bike is back and working in normal state. This has happened after the disk kid (stuffs/parts that are there in the disk oil reserve chambers in the handle bar) change including the pad.

Has anyone faces similar faced similar problem, ASC guy told there should be some leakage in disk oil pipe. Please update / guide to thread if there is a known solution.

----consecutive posts auto-merged-----

Check the battery life. Same happened to me, changing it solved the problem.

Re: Hero Honda Karizma ZMR

Ambling slowly but steadily towards the target.

2 primary reasons:
a. Italian babe takes some count OFF the bike's ODO.
b. Office now is only 6.4 km away (one way). Weekend rides are on the decline.

But I shall hit the target in 2016!

Re: Hero Honda Karizma ZMR

Ahhh!! I know what you mean

Re: Hero Honda Karizma ZMR

Thanx Guys. The guy tightened the tappets hence the starting and stalling problem. Forgot to mention the WHITE SMOKE from exhaust. Got them corrected.

The battery was weak hence the FI indicator. May be I overtried the self start for testing the starting problem. It literally got dud infront of the mechanic when I was explaining the problem. We had to charge it again to check the stalling issue. Took 2 days!!! for the whole thing.


Ha ha! Vaseline!! I didn't know it was such omnipotent. Also, I was thinking that since my bike had different cam shaft and piston, won't the tappet clearance differ from your bike?



Sorry, What is 02 sensor? no Idea about that.

Bingo!!

Two things were clubbed! Week battery and Tight Tappets! Hence the confusion.

Re: Hero Honda Karizma ZMR

Which idiotic mech over tightened the tappets without setting any clearance? Adjusting the tappets is routine work for any mech, and it's quite an old procedure and mechs don't even use a feeler gauge showing how glib they are with their fingers, I'm surprised now. Well, there could be slight change in valve clearance but the process remains the same for any motorcycle. White smoke, caused by overtight or no clearance leading to no compression which resulted in knocking down or like you put it, stalling. To make matters worse you had a weak battery leading to fi malfunction lamp blinking. I seriously love this thread, it's full of interesting issues, and congratulations on getting this sorted.

Re: Hero Honda Karizma ZMR

Congrats!

Nope! It's the same.

O2 sensor, also referred to as Lambda sensor reads the oxygen levels in the ambient surrounding (engine) and sets the air fuel ratio map accordingly and passes that info to the ECU. It's similar to automated AFR setting. Benefits of FI.

Re: Hero Honda Karizma ZMR


Cool! Lot to learn about the machine!!!

Don't ask Who did and what did he do!!... [MENTION=47074]Divya[/MENTION]Sharan had told me numerous times to get this done using feeler gauge... but wahi baat, neglect. I was standing infront of him while he did the tappets, the first time but I neglected it and paid the price. This was a junior mech.

Every mech across all the SVCs are same....even the senior ones... To get it corrected I went to the supervisor, even he was shit. when I say it took 2 days bole toh I literally fought with him to get things done... you know what he said - Fuel Pump had gone bad!!!... He lied to me that while I was sitting in the customer lounge, he had already checked the tappets... I blasted on him for that.. then he was reluctant to use feeler gauge and so on!... I took the gauge and showed him 0.1 scale and asked him to use it, I checked thing myself too. Moreover I was standing there in the "authorised service centre" and fixing the fuel tank myself cos these guys are so careless that they had already put scratches on the faring while doing this stuff!!!... It's become a habit. 2 of the service stations are now vary of me and my bike :P
