  • falling for it ..

    I am falling .. falling hard .. for my ZMR .. thanks a lot to Ravi@17bhp .. and more to all the other ZMR users on this ownership thread, specially contributors from page 1 to around 100 when I used to follow every single development on this thread .. I then decided against buying a bike for some personal reasons but now everything has worked out and I have a new best friend ..

    Got my bike on friday night and have finished 400 kms on it.. going to give it for service tomorrow after finishing the rest in the morning .. sorry been really hectic .. clicked a very few photos but no time to upload them .. I will as soon as I find the time .. going to bangalore on wednesday on to Vellore the same day and then to Munnar for the ISG2G this weekend ..

    Wish me luck, I really need it .. and thanks again to everyone for their contribution to this thread .. As they say, some things are indeed priceless ..

      Due to some personal and official reasons could not check X-Bhp for more than TWO months.

      Thought that will take a grand Entry with FIVE digits. But GOD had other plans.

      While returning home from Office on 03-Mar-2011 @ 8:30 PM a yellow taxi from opposite direction banged me head on with my White beauty.

      It wanted to avoid a ditch and veered right giving me no option.

      It was clocking some speed of 55kmph or more while I was in 35kmph in a one way dark stretch of the city.

      GOD saved me with no injury at all. Some internal muscle pain and a little bruise on left leg below the knee.
      Hope you are fine...ride safe..

        The ZMR has been with me for the past couple of days. Had planned a 500-km trip and I was excited. Could not go to the trip due the shocks failure. I am quite puzzled as to why they are failed. Felt home riding the ZMR, but unfortunately only in my colony.
        how many kms ? and how did u come to know?

          and regarding the stock. Visit the mody service center at RP Rd sec'bad. The spare parts person assured me that even if the part is out of stock, they'll get it within a week.
          The hydraulic suspension is not working, only the springs are working. The suspension bottoms out when you just sit on the bike.

          We contacted Venkatesa Motors and they said the stock is arriving today or tomorrow and most probably they would get the shocks in the lot. Lets see what they say today. We tried Phoenix Motors, where the bike was bought, but no stock.

          Sorry to hear that. Glad that you escaped without any injuries. Consider yourself lucky. Do not worry, the bike can be repaired and it will be up as before. Falls are part and parcel of biking. Learn from it and move on!

            If you sit on the bike the suspension bottoms out. The jolts are felt by the spine while riding. The service guys confirmed the same.

                It is not compulsory to change it only at Service Center. You can get it done at any outside shop.

                      You can do it yourself...open a surrounded cover with meter console and fairing...6 screws will be there...and easily accessible to bulb area...on open you will found a round rubber cover...pull it and headlight bulb will visible...

                      • headlight ..

                        why I asked about whether or not it has to be changed at Service Center, is because of the warranty issue. there won't be any problem with the warranty becoming void on electricals and things like that right?
