    Bike maxed out at 119 with a pillion. Is it ok?

    One more thing, at around 3.5K RPM, there's a slight vibrating sound from the speedometer console. Any idea how to fix it ?
    I think its fine with pillion to get a 119 of speed...

    sound must be coming from cover surrounded on meter console...you can put some single sided black color tape...like a foam one...my Service center put the same when i complaint about it...they charged Rs. 32 for this..Particulars are as

    83407KCC902S- CUSHION

    and yes nice pics...

              Great GUYS, carry on. Will call you up. I will be @ SVC for my FOURTH free service.

              One issue needs urgent help.

              Uploaded SIX snaps of the Front Disc Pad @ my last servicing @ 4210 kms.
              Now completed around 5220 kms. Do I need to change?
              As already mentioned earlier it has worn out.
              Even I already bought the NISSIN pads worth Rs 2300.00/-

              @ FAST_FEROCIOUS,

              Fantastic snaps. I also clocked 119kmph with my wife in pillion.
              34567 kms and ZMR sold :(

                Thanx Mohsin. The parts took more than a month to arrive at the showroom. And even then the headlight unit, handlebars, and rear cowl was missing in the order. . I was really frustrated on this, as I've waited 42 days without riding my bike. So, I contacted almost all the Service centers in Hyderabad. All of them but one did not even have a single part of ZMR. Modi motors had the headlight unit and the handlebars, so I rushed there and bought those, only for a shameless "thank you" from my service center guy!

                Still, I need to get the Right Rear Cowl and front mudguard (they have scratches).

                  She prefers riding the bike @ 140 kmph not being a pillion.
                  As a matter of fact SHE is an excellent CO-PILOT to me.


                  Someday it might happen she rides a BIKE and myself a SCOOTY

                    couple of days back, did a trip on a ZMR (pending second service). Kolkata - Assansol - Kolkata (local ridding in Durgapur also) a total of 630kms ..

                    I had a pillion weighting around 85kg and i maintained 95+..

                    It was a night ride on NH2 (under GQ), road was dark, it was drizzling through out the trip, and weather was damm cold..

                    * We got over all mileage of <25kpml
                    * Stock lights were good for nothing.. It was hard to detect if its on or not. Rode most of the time while pressing the pass switch..
                    * Stock engine oil (which was new for the trip) sucked big time.. Within 100kms (at panagarh) bike was really harsh and vibrating a lot.

                    * Meter was awesome.. had a P220 with us which does 152 as top, when compared side by side, at P220 doing 40 -> ZMR is 36, at P220 doing 70 -> ZMR doing 63/64.. Percentage of meter error was increasing with higher speed..
                    * Real time mileage indicator is also great.. 110 -> 23/22, speed at 100 -> 28, speed dropped to 90 -> mileage up there at 30/33 .

                    frankly speaking, over all, Stock ZMA feels better to ride than stock ZMR .. Then again, its just a personal opinion..

                    Stock ZMR bulb is bad: i have changed it to Osram Night Breaker, it feels awesome now thanks to big reflector.

                    Low fuel efficiency: it usually increases after 2nd or 3rd service so dont worry.

                    Speed and engine vibes: Stock bike has some loosened parts so its a normal behavior. The service station will take care of it in the first and 2nd service, also these will go down once the engine becomes smoother.

                    Speedo reading : pulsar has a big speedo error, the speeds that you see on zmr are almost accurate, tested it with a speed gun
                    2 wheels move your soul but it takes a long ride to actually realize it....tough-tourer

                      Right..ZMR has a sensor...for accurate speed...the same has been confirmed by Overdrive in there test drive...right now i am not remembering the sensor name its "contact lace" or other name...just forgetting..

                        Replace the words "I have to" with "I choose to" and notice the difference in how you feel.
