Somebody torch-maro please.
    This issue happens if the slider pin not greased properly. Dont use any grease try to get Red Rubber grease from LUCAS and lube the slider pins.

It's a bit of a trade-in for some initial grunt, but worth the result. MY ZMR's clutch plates used to get fried every now and then, but after this setup, they are holding up!
      Wow ! What an easy fix [emoji33]

        A quick clarification. Which is better? Motul? Or shell fully synthetic?

          To be frank - neither!
          FS on this engine is overkill and unnecessary expenditure. If the seals don't leak, you may use it for up to 4k km.

          Motul somewhat gets consumed, Shell FS doesn't.
          Got a $5 head? Get a $5 helmet.
          Because everyone who passes, isn't a martyr!

            1. Replaced the rear tyre with MRF Meteor TL, same specs: Excellent grip in all conditions. I rode from Mumbai to Igatpuri and beyond in massive rain all the way and back 40 days ago. It was 300+ km of full rain...it didn't stop even for a minute. I had absolutely no issues with banking, grip, or anything at all. After that trip, I rode in similar conditions, except that there were no roads! It still held on. Even if it lasts for a year, I would say paisa wasool!!

            2. Snorkel removed: The heat from the engine was unbearable; I mean much more than my old 350cc CI Bullet.

            What do you mean "clutch plates frying now & then"??
            I bought ZMR in 2011 Feb and no clutch plate change so far. Plus looks strong as of now.

              Well I guess you have try different oil for you. I dont think there is any universal oil, it all depends on how did you run-in and your riding style.

              P.S. Though Jap engine tech is mostly the same.

                ASC to local mechanic to anyone....no idea why this is happening. I was so frustrated that 4 months ago, I replaced and altered part of the setup with that of Unicorn's. Top speed is severely compromised, but the setup is holding up. I haven't been too kind after the change. I have been doing major offroading since then, and the bike hasn't complained so far.

                One weird part is the ODO malfunction. i have clocked more than 40K kms in the past 3 years, but it still shows around 17k kms. ASC won't acknowledge and I don't bother! the primary issues have been more overwhelming!

                I must conclude that Hero with Honda had much better quality! Period.

                      Keep pestering them till your issues are resolved. After all its hard earned money. Electronic issue looks serious though. Is your warranty over?

                      Looks good. I was thinking of getting white pilot, but then I am too lazy. I guess someone has to do it for me. (Which I guess no one will )

                            Update: this is the condition of the shell advance FS oil post 2000 kms.

                            If I am not wrong FS oil should last for a minimum 3000 kms. The bike is always ridden in the city. In the last 6 years it has done around 5 highway rides mostly within 150 kms.

                            Please put some light on this issue.

                              Is that tappet noise?
                              No the engine dont shouldnt sound like that.
                              At first I thought its an enfield engine.

                                Sounds to me like Timings chain noise. .

                                How much has your bike completed till now..
