    Now coming to my problem , there are few scratches on the tank area and few on rear cowl . Some are visible and some are not . There is a minor dent on right side of the tank which is hardly visible . I came across a product on ebay . It is spray paint for bike . I contacted the seller and asked if he had the paint for Pearl White ZMR . He replied that he don't have Pearl white paint for ZMR but he has pearl white for Yamaha bikes . He also added it won't be a problem if i use it . Guys I want to know from you , should i go for it ?
    because here paint touchup is very costly (3 local bike painters quoted around 1000/- ) . also please tell me how can i get rid of that small tank dent ??
    Best way to get touch up is to find a "Nail Paint" of white colour matching to the ZMR one. & a better way to get it is ask girlfriend

    To remove dent of tank it is not needed to hammer , they block outlet of tank then fill air completely in it as i seen here. & small touch up here hardly cost 200 rupees.

    Vibrations do creep in anything beyond 55kmph, I don't understand why? Footpegs, handlebars, pillion footpegs, rvms all vibrate. Not heavy vibrations, but to some extent. And they stay as long as I go. Hmmm... Why ZMR vibrating like this. Utterly dissapointed I expected a smooth engine.

    Bike is done 2260km till now. Never crossed 50kmph till first 500kms and not 60kmph till I went for the ride, and during the ride I kept her below 60kmph most of the time, 3 times went till 97, 98kmph and didnt stay there came back to the normal speed. So I guess running in is OK.

    Above 4K I feel the engine is stressed too. Going to the 2nd service in few days.

    Guys, I need honest answers from you, Do you feel the same way abot the vibrations of ZMR?? I need to clarify coz I have a lot of faith on this bike, really..
    No vibrations in my ZMR at any rpm & in any speed upto 120 kmph , as i haven't gone beyond it.

      • I have changed the Engine oil from stock HH engine oil to Shell Advance Ultra 10w40 Fully Synthetic for my ZMR. almost done 300 kms. Gear shifting found to be more smooth from previous and finding the neutral in heavy traffic is now easy job, but engine noise has changed and i am feeling like it is louder now... though the engine remain cool and ride is fantastic... will continue it for one more fill and then will plan to change to Motul 7100 10W40 or any other in same category.
        Replace the words "I have to" with "I choose to" and notice the difference in how you feel.

          I would think it would spoil the original identity of ZMR if anything added apart from what it came from the factory. I respect your personal choice though.

                The dent on tank is very small and hardly visible and the paint on right real cowl has peeled of (about 1 inch) so i was thinking can i hide them with vinyl stickers ? I have ordered these
                Decal Sticker Flames For Cars & Helmets KR597 7 Inches Red Dark | eBay in two colors dark red and chrome mirror planning to put them on tank . Will they look good on ZMR ?? and for the real cowl planning to go for racing stripes any other suggestions ?? BTW i got these REFLECTIVE MOTORCYCLE CAR RIM STRIPES WHEEL DECALS TAPE | eBay for rims will put them on rims when monsoon is over

                    Vinyl on tank no , it gonna spoil the look of zmr as per me. Instead of that go for touch up

                    Wheel decals tape looking good but a bit costly , a radium shop guys can also make same if you show them the picture. I think the similar rims are bought by veryhiphop also.

                      • How to find out the milege of the bike?

                        Comment


                        • Summary @ 15000 kms

                          Completed 15000 kms on 15-Aug-2011. Just a coincidence.
                          Moreover in exactly 15 months. Purchased on 16-May-2010.

                          Total Fuel Consumed = 403.64 litres of Normal Petrol
                          Total Fuel Expenses = Rs 24,294.97
                          Average Mileage = 38.17 km/litre
                          Additional Expenses = Rs 13,021.00 (Includes Michelin Tyres, Iridium Spark Plug, OSRAM Night Breaker)
                          Servicing Expenses = Rs 17,624.00 (Includes Accident Cost, Tips, Engine Oill etc.)

                          Riding Pattern : Mostly in and around the City of Joy with pillion with my other Angel.
                          Tours : 600 kms to & fro with Wife to Digha Sea Beach

                          Till now no major or minor problems including vibration, noise etc.
                          Only nagging issue was Air Leakage from Tubeless Tires. Changed to Michelin Tube Type.

                          Happy Riding !!!

                                Fill Tank completely full of petrol , ride around 100 kms , then fill it completely again. Then calculate it yourself .
