Negatives - 1) After 250 kms, the seat appeared to be quite hard on my bums
Ha ha ha.. It is common with ZMA/ZMR..If you had been on the saddle for 2 Hrs or more you are bound to feel it........I felt burning sensation ,and once off the bike it was ok...
2) Now almost everybody knows this, the lighting is not adequate and those damn stupid truckists were real pain in the ass. They were driving at low beam all the way but when they saw any vehicle they put it on high beam... I really wished I had HID so I could teach them a lesson
A 50/60 Halogen is straight fit and ZMA/ZMR can take it without any change .But the down side is if you have extensive headlight use(4 to 5 Hrs a day) the reflector will become dull.

A point to be careful on highways: Trucks have so less acceleration that they take almost half a kilometer to overtake another truck and while doing this, they occupy almost all the width of road. So whenever you see a truck overtaking decrease your speed coz you might have to go down the road to cross them...
Glad you have learnt your first and most important highway lesson...also look out for the heavy vehicles with twisted chassis..the front will be in the first lane and the back will be in half of the second lane....and over-speeding Cars..doing higher than 110 Kmph....you will see the rear view mirror and there will be no vehicle behind you, the next moment you will hear a whoosh and the car will go past you...

Happy Riding Guys..

i got hit by a truck on friday.

yeah man 50% on plastic parts sucks.

im perfectly alright cuz at the time of accident i was riding at 5-10kmph

Good to know you are ok..if you can do DIY then get the fiber glass repair kit, remove the fairing and reconstruct the broken piece,and repaint it...Just ask HH if they can do it and the cost of it...Unless the DIY or HH cost is less than 50% of replacement cost it will not be worth it.

Thanks for your valuable advice guys highly appreciate but sorry didn't get time to checkout replies... Anyways just returned from 2 days 952 km trip... It was an awesome experience and ZMR proved itself yet again... took all kinds of bumps (small, big and gigantic with ease)... also those series of speedbrakers near toll booth.. I fly past them @60 kmph... Shockers are just awesome and this was the first time I utilized about 80% of bike potential... Overtook all kinds of vehicles with ease and mannnn craze for this bike hasn't gone down a bit... Everywhere I stopped to take rest, people were asking about it's price and mileage... Other bikers were turning their heads to get a glimpse of my bike... The bike is perfectly tailor made for touring with all it's great power, superior handling and comfortable ergonomics... Fan of this sturdy machine...

@Shreeni : is it a problem draining oil from ZMR due to the fairing.
Was this done @ the service center

Got Shell SS oil 10w40. Need to see how good it is.
Btw it was a new way of draining oil, I had not saw it earlier.
Sucking oil from top
Here is the snap.

m very much eager to know the result of this oil for ZMR..planning to go for the same one..how much did it cost you?

But there is no shell store located here in Delhi....check this...

i checked it on their site but i found a dealer in delhi who's a distributor of Motul & Gulf oil he told me that he can also arrange Shell oils that's why i am looking forward to this oil..last time i bought Gulf 10W30 from that distributor for my friend's hunk & its working even better after 800-1000odd kms..

I can tell you by Monday as I will be riding little above 1500kms this weekend.

i am going for Motul 7100 10w30 engine oil for my ZMR .. any suggestions?
