Re: Hero Honda Karizma ZMR

True Divya. Working on the bike and doing it myself is what gives me immense satisfaction. I only approach a mechanic (not the SVC) when things are beyond my DIY capabilities. It's a learning experience every time I sit down and open up the bike myself. And this forum has been a boon. I've learned more here than anywhere else, thanks to all you guys.

I'm looking for a reliable mechanic in the Delhi/NCR area. Any recommendations?

Re: Hero Honda Karizma ZMR

I give my bike to 2 good mechanics with Hero ASS.. One in Noida Sec 59 and the other in Sahibabad (Anil)..

They know their work well and I haven't had any issues when they get their hands on my bike..

Re: Hero Honda Karizma ZMR

Re: Hero Honda Karizma ZMR

Hai guys..
How much it will costs for the tail light set of current gen KARIZMA?

any idea?

Thank you!

Re: Hero Honda Karizma ZMR

I bought it in loose from a nearby ASS, they are quite generic and are like the fasteners, bolts n nuts that are in a bike. Why don't you just ask them for wind screen bedding bush, or just show them a sample.

Re: Hero Honda Karizma ZMR

I finally found a yellow karizma. It was the bike i wanted to buy but couldnt afford it. But i found paralell joy in rebuilding an rx135. Eventually after 6 years i saved enough money to spend on a karizma. 45k kms run, registered in 2008. It looks a little patchy but the engine is sounding fine i think. I will need help from you guys regarding the tuning and other settings.

Re: Hero Honda Karizma ZMR

Hello brothers... Sharing my story here. I missed my ZMR after leaving for US in early 2015. But during my short vacation to India in early 2016, I reconnected with my ZMR. It was amazing. I even my did favorite ECR ride from Pondicherry to Chennai.




So when I returned back to US, I was determined to continue motorcycling. I signed up for the MSF course and completed it. After obtaining my Motorcycle endorsement, I was all set to buy my first US bike. But then I decided to postpone mainly because it didn't seem like a wise investment at the time.

Come December, I just woke up one day, decided today was the today. I called the dealership, got a good deal and purchased it the same day. I was going to go for the CBR 300R, but my wife changed my mind. Thank God for her. The CBR 500R is just perfect for me. It feels like a newer ZMR with twin engines, shorter wheelbase, more aggressive looks, better headlamp. I've been riding to work every day and its been a rewarding experience. I rode on the interstate only one time. I find myself more comfortable and relaxed at lower speeds on highways. Hoping for many long, safe, wonderful rides in the USA...

Re: Hero Honda Karizma ZMR

I have zmr (2011) and i am facing few issues.

1. This "khat" sound from both front end as well as rear end. This is irritating as hell.


2. The heating issue. Just riding for 15 minutes this gets noticeable. (I ride in city always around 35-40. )

Re: Hero Honda Karizma ZMR

It's amazing how the thread is still running. It's been almost 4 yrs since I last visited this thread and It's been a year since I have last ridden my ZMR.

Now for the noise I used a double sided foam tape to pad all the surfaces wherever there is plastic to plastic contact as well as plastic to metal. I did these to all the parts starting from the front visor, the part below the headlight assembly, left and right cowls and the covering below the seat. Doing this reduced a lot of noise from the front end. But it will not eliminate the noise entirely but sure will reduce a lot. You can do this yourself, if you are not that confident take it to your trusted mechanic along with the foam tape and do it.

For the noise from the back I would suggest checking ur drive chains lubrication and slack. These are the most common source of noise from the back. Also make sure you don't have any loose items bouncing around in your under seat storage compartment(I had a Rexine cloth based pouch for this).

Re: Hero Honda Karizma ZMR

Re: Hero Honda Karizma ZMR

Bro Zmr is oil cooled with oil cooler. So in point no 12 - coolant dosent come in to picture.

Re: Hero Honda Karizma ZMR

That's a lot of money. The Mechanic is trying to make a lot of money out of you! The engine oil is the only coolant that the engine gets. It is an oil cooler and not liquid cooling.. oil cooler is another technology for Air cooling.

2500 for first cleaning? Is he serious? Well, I can't really comment on it! But AFAIK, new FI will cost ~5k
