I experienced the same and removed the tire in just 5000 kms and went for MRF Zapper Q tubetype used as tubeless and went on for about 40k kms!

Very good all rounder and i think now it is available as tubeless

I didn't know tubed tyre can be used as tubeless. Can i use 110-90-18 tubed tyre as tubeless in my hunk? Zapper q tubeless not available in 110-90-18 profile

I am not quoting that it can be used as Tubeless! From what i read and understood, the sidewall has to be strong! Compare the sidewalls of Tube Type and tubeless tires, you will understand!

More than that! Your alloy has to be tubeless type as well. Which i dont think is the case! Or am I wrong? Because my Hunk isnt tubeless!

Use tubetype on tubetype alloys and vice versa! I just took a risk! The sirac street once came out of the wheel! Thankfully i was able to control the bike! This wont be the case always! I mean you able to control if tire comes out of the wheel.

Re: Hero Honda Karizma ZMR

My 1st query here.

I own a 2010 ZMR, I have done 49288kms as of today. A month back i did Bangalore to Satara ride and the bike performed beautifully. After that i got it serviced with a new well established mechanic. Now i have a peculiar problem. When i ride upto 100 or 150kms bike rides well, but after that the pickup on the bike reduces, and when i go on a gradient or fly over speed drops from 85kms to 78kms inspite of full throttle.

When i check with the Mechanic, they say it maybe problem with Bore and piston. Kindly need advice.

Also Kindly suggest any good mechanic for ZMR around Sanjaynagar, Bangalore.

Thanks in Advance.

You have an air leak, which is why you're loosing oomph as the motorcycle gets hotter.

Do a WD40 test to determine area of leak or just blindly change rubbers on both end FI unit.

Thank you so much...

Can you help me understand WD40 test? and will surely change rubbers firstly.

Re: Hero Honda Karizma ZMR

I have given my zmr for service at Lakshmi bike service, they say problem might be with fuel pump. They will test it and confirm. Is this possible?

Re: Hero Honda Karizma ZMR

Guys. Some advice needed.
My bike was parked in a friend's place for 3 months with half tank fuel.
I took it today and tried starting and it didn't start. Battery was weak. So I swapped a new battery from another zmr but again the bike isn't starting. It makes some sound (not the regular crank) but now of some dry metal contact and misfire mixed type of sound. What could be the issue.
Bike is 68k old and I don't remember changing the spark plug anytime in the last 30k.

Might be the timming chain,it may have broken.
get the bike transported to any near hero service center not to any local mechanic(few exceptions though ) coz its engine related work not any luck local mech can repair ...even if he does spares parts availability issue arises .

Check the basics, Air, Fuel, Compression and Spark.

Once all is well your motorcycle would fire up.

If you're worried about the timing chain then open the inspection window and check, though I doubt that's the case;
