    I cannot figure out why ZMR vibrates, I am hoping to tour a lot and that is why I bought this bike. Even my friend Pulsar 220 is way smoother, but in a different manner of course.. And also quality comes in too..(ZMR=best quality feeling)

    But still has a feeling that after running in, after 2000 odd kms, bike would be more smoother and more refined. Still believe that this is the best refined bike, irrespective of the vibrations, and would stay with me 5 years at least, with all the long, really long tours that I am going to go.

    (^^psr, I'd greatly appreciate your views)

    You are right it is one of the best bike for touring, i have already completed around 15000 km of touring on my ZMR, i have not complaint about ZMR regarding its touring capacity, no back pain , no sluggish feeling while riding, but yeah there is a issue of vibrations in fairing, it is smoother while touring... so i am too facing with the same problem..... just need some good SVC centre to rectify the issue.
    Replace the words "I have to" with "I choose to" and notice the difference in how you feel.

        Faring vibrations in my bike are around 60 to 65 kmph speed only... Beyond that it's again vibe free... As Dhiraj said there are no vibrations while touring

          Available at SVC here when i visited last. Next week i am going there will confirm it . BTW which one you need ? White or Black ?


          Hey guys today i am searching for the EXIDE MF ( Maintenance Free ) BATTERY which comes with our bike to install in scooty , both exide dealers here told me the battery is not available for sale in market it only comes with ZMR factory fitted , & if your ZMR battery will gone then you too have to switch to the watered general exide batteries available. Cause you won't get that MF battery
          Is it true Is anyone found that MF battery in market ?

            Thanks bro. I need the black one. Actually its not for the ZMR, its for the CBR250R. Mine has broken due to a fall. so no spares available for the CBR rite now. when i had a small research i found only the ZMR's mirror bracket suits the CBR's. I somehow arranged the right side but no left side available.

              The ZMA-R, ZMR and Honda CBR250 all use the Exide battery type ETZ-7 which is a 6 ampere MF battery..You can try fitting Amaron 9 AH with the old ZMA battery cage.

                  There are many technical advancement done to ZMR compared to the ZMA-R
                  1)fuel injection instead of carb.
                  2)full digital speedo instead of analog speedo
                  3)increased bhp and torque
                  4)oil cooled engine instead of air cooled
                  5)7 different sensors
                  6)aerodynamic body.

                    I wont agree with this point man, the bike is really bad in crosswinds (Heavy ones like you face on highways in monsson)!

                    This I would call rather a makeup and a bad one with the dynamics screwed!

                      I totally agree to this, bike does give you negative vibes when in crosswinds, i experienced a lot of crosswinds when i was touring on the coastal NH-17, there the crosswinds are quite bad as road widening is in progress and no trees to block the oncoming sea wind.

                      I wasn't able to ride with any peace of mind unless ridding below 60-65 but the bike is excellent when the wind hits you head-on, no complaints at all here, even without leaning

                        I have experienced the worse crosswind when i was returning to mumbai from pune at lonavala. When we touch the expressway as soon as we exit from lonavala. the wind was so strong it is taking me and bike to one side, i have to stop and wait for sometime, though after 5 minutes i ride with a speed of 20kmph, then also i am feeling strong crosswind. that was my first and the worse experience of crosswind with ZMR. though all fully faired bikes have crosswind problems.

                          Go for the ZMA-R it is VFM...and you can remove the lower fairing in ZMA-R and drive happily through cross winds,tail winds, and also winds opposing you.

                            The same problem is there in ZMA-R...but the moment I took off the lower fairing, the bike was transformed..In highway at 110 and heavy cross winds , the bike was solidly planted on the tarmac and showed no sign of wavering....so i can imagine what the full fairing will be doing to the ZMR on windy days.
                            The ZMR fairing brings down an otherwise Good bike...who knows without it the FE and performance will still be better than what it is now.

                              Sorry for my incomplete post..I meant aerodynamic through the wind(front facing) not from side facing crosswind.I too faced extreme crosswinds especially on flyovers.But i guess its the expected behavior of every fared bike.I felt same on R15 and even on R1.

                                Seen Amaron 9 AH ( its written 9L ) is bigger i don't think it will fit in the Scooty ES .

                                ZMR is improved version of Karizma. Karizma is lovely bike both R & ZMR . ZMR has many improved things like digital console , pgm fi , sensors as stated by vvijkumar .
                                And yes the cross wind issue there as it is in all fully faired bikes.
                                The same issue in Karizma-R too but as psr said you can remove lower fairing, but i don't think its a good idea ! Killing the beautiful look of Karizma
                                I recommand you ZMR
                                " Laharo ke saath koi be chal sakata hai , lekin laharo ko chir ke aage badho " something similar dialogue in GULAAM , i can't remember though
                                But at last Choice is your .
