Stock HLs are too weak. Plus, you've planned a long trip. Osram NB to banta hai boss!
Use rubber washers with bolts. Vibes will reduce by 70%.

Its only i push the matter to HM engineer; SVC are able to sort out issue with the help of HM Engineer ...otherwise they cant solve it....

one recent story i tell you...couple of months back my tail was changed...later on when i take delivery the indicators flashing was not working...they inspect and said indicator relay need to be replaced...parts was no there...so has to wait for 2 months...now when they add the new replay ...the indicator still not working....after inspection they said bulb need to be changed and ZMR has different set of bulbs and they had put the splendor bulbs in zmr tail......then i lodge a complaint to the supervisor/manger about the work...i was facing issue of indicator flasher not working from 2 months due to stupid thing by SVC

Rubber bushes with bolts?? can you tell me which bolts are you talking about mate?? regarding head lights.. i guess the stock HLs are better than no Lights.. cos the Projectors just suck out the juice of my bike battery killing it.. i came to this decision due to that reason.. I am at the tail position of the team and I don't need much light.. but i need a little view in front.. I am gonna go for the Philips diamond vision 55w bulb.. is that good enough?? or is that gonna kill the battery as well??

Ha ha ha... lolz.
We know how bad the morons at the SVC are! But at the same time, they are forced to help you if you shoot a complaint to higher authorities, right?
In Chennai, the SVC manager barked at me for complaining to HMC and they didn't even carry out the service properly. I complained again but no action was taken.

IMO, Osram NB is better that Philips XV for ZMR. Both are plug and play. No issues with battery.

I have had bad experience with the SVC guys too mate.. I seriously got pissed off when my bike had hiccups initially.. I kept asking them to check the wiring.. the mechanic takes the bike in.. opens the tank lid and sees water (after a water wash) on the side of the petrol tank where the lid covers the tank... and claimed that was the reason for the hiccups.. he sucked out all the water and said now the problem will be solved.. I was like.. What the Fudge.. how is that going to fix the issue.. thats how poor the mechanics are in terms of knowledge.. they even scared me saying the Fuel Pump is dead they said they will fix the fuel pump under warranty (note - bike was just 5 months old completed just 1500kms or so) they said to leave the bike for almost a week.. I said NO.. the problem persisted even after 3 times of complaining.. one fine evening.. i decided to take the bike to office.. Bike stopped almost 18kms away from office and 10kms away from home at night.. had to push the bike for almost 3 kms to park in my old office parking lot.. take an auto to office.. luckily i was not targeted by the robbers.. the next day went by cab home.. took my car to the service center in Noida (devine automobiles) got the mechanic with me.. took him to the bike.. he got the bike to start.. they asked me to come back in the evening.. went to get the bike.. they said they checked the Fuel Pump.. it was fine.. they cleaned the pump.. blah blah blah.. so i decided to take the bike to South Delhi to get them to fix the fuel pump on priority.. again.. the bike stopped again.. Luckily the bike started.. took the bike back to Noida SVC.. this time.. I made them check the wiring forcefully.. they took out the fairing.. took off the tank.. and violaa.. there was the problem.. the ignition coil wire was loose.. got them to tighten the wire and till now.. the bike is running fine.. if those SVC guys in South Delhi had listened to my words and checked the wiring.. it could have been resolved long back.. I raised a big complaint against the SVC guys in South Delhi and man.. I showed my anger on the owner of Pasupathy motors getting him raged and angry with the Service Manager.. they got my bike completely checked.. since then.. they treat me as a VIP customer.. lol.. but I don't take my bike there anymore.. cos of the poor service..

Oh.. Alright please let me know the availability of the Osram NB and the cost of it and what about the rubber bushes you mentioned?? which bolts do I have to get them fixed to?? do you mean the screws on the fairing?? or the inside too?? sorry if I am being stupid by the by.. where are you in Chennai mate?

Same is the case here in Hyderabad. The required work doesn't get done unless a complaint is lodged with the higher authorities.

If you are interested in Osram NB...then i can buy a pack and one i will keep and second you shall...cost is Rs. 800....

Retail shops sell them at 850-900 bucks a pair. They're sold in pairs as these are car bulbs.
Both Philips and Osram are placed around 800-900 odd mark.

You can PM praj zm for the online portal where he got these for 750 bucks or so.

I was in Chennai till 6 months back. Relocated to Bangalore now.

I am sorry guys. I must have posted here by mistake. I am ZMA owner

The service guy said that the burning smell was from the engine block which was washed with kerocene or something. He washed the bike and even after 4 days, am getting the smell. Till now no one has any clue as to what the smell maybe. And no time to take the bike to the service guy also.. Helpless

Cost of a pair is 800/- huh?? which means 400/- per head huh?? I will be changing the headlights next month after i get my salary credited.. I will contact you regarding the same in that case..

@divya sharan.. Thanks for the information mate Cheers...

This is the leakage that I was talking about. It is from the left side. What's going on here?



Meanwhile, I completed my bi-weekly wash and polish and took it to work. I clicked some pics.



My neat tank, after scraping off that misaligned instruction sticker.

Bro, don't you see my posts on the ZMA thread?

Check the HID wiring connections. Also, check fuses under the seat.
