Thanks Divya.

Re: Hero Honda Karizma ZMR

The bike met with a small accident. Teenaged nephew fell with the bike and it skid for 10-15 feet. Right side front fairing has taken the brunt. Scratches on the front mud guard, right handle weight, brake lever, and the muffler guard.

The cone set seems to be damaged too. The turning feels wobbly and there is that 'thud' over every bump. Even the fairing is vibrating more.

Will try and do a DIY for the cone set as I don't trust the SVC guys. Will also open up the entire fairing to check for any internal damages.

Anyone with any gyaan on a DIY for cone set replacement would be appreciated.

Also anything else I need to check after a crash like this?

Re: Hero Honda Karizma ZMR

My bike had met with an exact type of damage. Please check if your bike is covered under INSURANCE. If yes, please go for it.

Call up your insurer and go to the ASC accordingly. Much lighter on the pocket. In my case, my bike was just about less than 3 years old. The total cost came up to 11,000. Out of that, I had to pay only 1500. Just don't tell the insurance guys that your nephew was on the wheels. Tell them it was you!

Re: Hero Honda Karizma ZMR

Adding to what Raaj posted above, get the front forks, handle bar checked for bends. Get the damaged bar end weight replaced for sure.
Hope the rider is not badly hurt.

Re: Hero Honda Karizma ZMR

Thanks guys. I guess I'll give the DIY a miss this time and head for the SVC as a lot of critical parts are involved.
I wonder how much the insurer will compensate for plastic parts. I'm insured with National Insurance. Will check with my agent.

Re: Hero Honda Karizma ZMR

While cleaning my front disk pads yesterday, I noticed that one pad was far more worn out than the other. In fact, one was practically new while the other was worn down to the metal. Is this normal? Aren't they supposed to wear out evenly? If so, is there a problem with the brake pistons, or fluid? But the brake is working fine with good bite and no lag. Somebody torch-maro please.

Re: Hero Honda Karizma ZMR

Open the pistons, clean and lube them. They're not moving freely. You should have even wear on both pads.

Re: Hero Honda Karizma ZMR

And the lines are back , I read somewhere that one should be careful to NOT use any nail polish remover which has any type of oils in it(thought i should share here). And yes I read this after cleaning my bike :P

I'm taking the bike for service tomorrow as I think the disk pads have worn out and I hope the cleaning guy removes those lines

Re: Hero Honda Karizma ZMR

Sorry to put it this way, aren't they also humans.. don't they have the right to buy something they like? I mean, going by what you are saying, then all the REs should be sold off and in Dehradun, they use RDs for milk delivery..

I am kinda offended with your attitude here..

Re: Hero Honda Karizma ZMR

Gave the bike for repairs at Ess Aay Agencies in Karol Bagh.
The jobs to be done:
Right handle bar change
Right fairing change
Cone-set bearing change
Forks to be checked
Front brake pistons cleaning, shoes change and brake fluid change

Estimate of Rs.8k!

Hey Guys ssup?
Hello [MENTION=41586]Divya Sharan[/MENTION], Long time.
Rreneav, shreeni, veryhiphop are familiar and rest are new.
Anyways, how much have you guys clocked on Zeemrs? Where is the long term review eh!
Mine 25K (2011)

Re: Hero Honda Karizma ZMR

Hello sirjee!

Most owners have crossed 50k here. I aim to touch 100k by year end. ODO stands close to 94k today.

Re: Hero Honda Karizma ZMR

Dear rreneav ... Your apology is accepted. I think that you must stop going to big hospitals & famed doctors & start going to unregistered doctors whose signboard says "Bangali doctor-Hamare yaha purana se purana bimari ka ilaaj santoshjanak kiya jata hey"...(they are called jhola chaap doctors by the doctor fraternity).
After all, they also are humans ... They also have the right to do things that they like.
My attitude was in terms of fun, but your comment was full of arrogance...!!! A true biker must never be arrogant coz u dont know what kind of person you'll be showing your arrogance to, on the road...this is just a biking advice...!!!
Moreover, I don't care whether you got offended or not. My post was a general post, it was not pointed towards you. So before you show your arrogance on my posts, use your grey cells & try to think rationally & logically.

Dear mods,
If you think that posting a funny pic & sharing my personal thoughts on a public forum is somehow not right, please do let me know, I'll not waste even a moment to cancel my membership of this forum or you can cancel it on your own...!!! Thanks ...!!!
