Just 500 to 800kms done with shell fs. And when ridden in dense traffic, i get a terrible smell. Burning smell. When smelt near the engine, the smell of engine overheat is unbearable. Is it a problem with the radiator or the oil? Checked the oil and it was proper. So i do not think its the oil. Had poured in 1ltr (1 whole bottle of shell fs) after completely draining out the old oil. Need advice here. Rite now my bike is filled with problems. Vibes, no mirrors, overheat, etc

I guess u should PM psr sir for exact diagnosis.
BTW, does ur bike accelerate properly or has its performance reduced? Might be burnt clutch plates/engine oil leakage etc.

@psr sir - need ur help!

If I'm not wrong someone had similar problem. Try Mobil 1 10w40 FS oil if the bike has done 10k on odo.

BTW, Above_All has given a full blown EXACT pricing details. Lovely!!!

Leo Vince is a slash cut pipe. Many SBK owners advice against slash cut pipes because they offer boost in sound, nothing else.
Many people concur that Akrapovic exhausts are best when it comes to R&D (specific pipes for specific bikes/cars) and performance boost.

Akrapovic claims max 5% increase in power. For a Hayabusa, that may be 9-10 PS increase, but for a Karizma, its less than 1 PS.

Moreover, we DO NOT have after market options for Karizma siblings.
Stay stock!

sprocket,rvms ,rear brake pads are fine,thank god
the only things i had to change was front brake pad which was 1185/-
and spark plug which was 75/-
i got it done in swasthik motors in the evening at the closing time and no other svc would have done that, they are very helpful

Good to know this. BTW, do you have a blue/yellow ZMR? Coz I saw both near Swastik Motors, Mathikere yesterday around 6 PM.

**ashwinprakas** · 01-03-2013, 11:31 AM

Guys a doubt!
Recently I changed my handle and the mirrors started fouling with the fairing, so I loosened the mount n the handle and adjusted it to solve the issue, so cant you guys do the same using normal RVM's? I believe this can help everyone facing RVM issue.

Great! I was in front of the shop beside Swastik. Met a few of my college buds there. I guess it was after 5:40 PM I reached there. Almost like 6. There were 3 ZMRs outside, a blue, a yellow and your's truly (white). Trip next weekend?

Acceleration is the same and no issues at all regarding the running of the bike. Only problem is with severe smell..

So you suspect the oil? I've done 25k kms so i guess i'll wait till i do 2k (more 1200kms to go for 2k kms) and change my oil to mobil 1 10w40 fs..

**blizarder** · 01-04-2013, 12:14 AM

I too had the strange burnt smell coming only when the bike gets real hot after riding in heavy traffic. My bike is running on mineral oil from hero.

Bad oil. Needs replacement. Confirmed with few more riders. Blizrider, hero oil doesn't last more than 1000 kms. At least shift to SS if ODO > 6k.
