    I am using Sirac its 120/80-18. I have removed the chain case. But beware, with a heavy pillion the tyre will rub the sides of swing arm.

    I would say, stick to 110/80-18 or 100/90-18. Don't go beyond that if you don't want to sacrifice anything.

      What about 110/80-18...do we need to remove chain guard for this size too?

          Pirelli SD 110/80-18 is a straight fit. But that tyre is expensive and not worth the Indian road conditions

            9Ah wont fit in and there is no 7Ah model,5Ah will suit in the cage,but does not have enough juice to power ZMR.

              Does that happen only when riding with a pillion or riding solo as well ? Will the same happen with a tyre of any other brand but of the same size 120/80-18 ?

              Also, is Sirac a straight fit once the chain case is removed or have you done any alterations to fit that tyre? Any other negatives in terms of performance that I should be aware of? Too many questions but I want to be very sure on these aspects before going ahead with the tyre change.

                Karizma ZMR has 6Ah battery unlike the ZMA which has 7Ah so give or take 1Ah battery will suffice the need.Either you can go for 6Ah battery or else 5Ah amaron battery.

                    In the Karizma R Thread,One got a 5Ah battery in his ZMA-R and now the full speedo is malfunctioning.

                      Its better to have a same Ah battery mentioned in specification for ZMR/ZMA...or higher (if fit...in battery case)...

                        I guess it will be the same with all tyres of that size but not sure. With solo riding I ve never any issue till date. Its a straight fit. In terms of performance, you will feel the acceleration is reduced negligibly as the tyre profile is more.

                        + 1

                        ZMR doesn't really need a higher capacity battery as the stock 6aH is more than sufficient to take care of all your needs. I am using a dual tube HID (35 X 2 = 70w HID) and never faced any issues till date (touchwood). Its alternator is powerful enough!!

                            Could you post a pic so that i could find the exact location where the hole is and confirm back about its presence in my bike?

                              It is located within the encricled area, on the bottom side.

                                It is normal ,and exhaust gases will come through the hole at the lower end of silencer...If you stop over a dust area you can see dust being blown away....nothing to worry.Common to ZMA,ZMA-R and ZMR
