One of my friend told be that i should not use self starter of my ZMA-R in morning as it will reduce its life......IS IT REALLY SO???..

when i asked the svc he told me that there is no issues as zma self starter is of advacned type(he explained that its motor is imported from japan only-MITSUBA)

ok i can use the kick but wat the zmr owner will do????

is it really essential to do so...i mean many bikes doenst have kicks???

pls elaborate in detail...

hiii

hii guys...

i bought a ZMA R 2 weeks bak just because its good for the price and theres only a .6 Bhp increase in the ZMR ...but the weight of the new ZMR actullay nullifies the .6 bhp....so just bought the R series...

actually the ZMR is been on display before 1 1/2 month in KERALA where am from and got a chance to sit on it...wondering why not in pune?

the guy who is mentioning about the ZMR told the biggest blunder for which i laugh now also ...he told the new ZMR goes till 188 Km/hr..and more than that also with vibrations...i was like sshhheeeessshhh..how did that guy get job in Hero Honda..i asked him if he was telling the truth and he was so confident in telling that they even did the test ride in kochi airport runway....hitting 188 km/hr...i told even the ninja Hits top speed not more than 175km/hr....but he was stil with his point...i walked out laughing...

^^^ You should've told him that you hit 200kmph on your ZMA-R with the help of some engine tuning.

Seriously, this is one of the effects of recession - hiring 'knowledgeable intellectuals' as sales guys!

Hope they do not not compromise in after sales service, since this bike has an advanced Fuel Injection system with a few sensors, of which most of the SVC guys may not be aware of.

Hi guys.Is it possible to fit the ZMR rear discs on the ZMA?

**jd666** · 11-16-2009, 07:07 AM

should be, if the swingarm is same, and the mounting can be fabricated. You would need the entire assy. The rear alloy wheel, the disc, the caliper , caliper mount, and the spacer on the axle, also the brake lever with actuator and reserve cylinder. Could be 7-9k easily.

Rear disc brake setup is not mounted on Swingarm. Its on axle.

I had a similar experience , in a Yamaha showroom . He told me tht the only difference in fz16 and R15 is the top speed , R15-150kmph and fz is one less 149kmph. i was absolutely shocked and i asked him is tht only the difference and nothing else , he said Fz has a midship silencer , i askd so wht?? , he said its small , powerfull .... i walked out while he was talking

Infact had a great shoot with the Karizmas today. one of thee best in recent years!

So new photolog coming up in a while. Somehow I still feel am missing some photos, but that apart, rest is done..

I dont know whether theres any bigger curiosity on the forum, then it was on the streets. Never have I seen people getting mad to see a bike up close and so personal! Never experienced such a madness. Have to give it to HH for this..

Mehul..your all fine na? hope you dint bump your head somewhere. "Never experienced such madness". All this for a ZMR???? After 6 years this is the best they come up with and your actually giving it to HH for this??

zmr update...

....... i was expecting atleast 45........

the fairing has a small scratch now, thanks to the autorickshaw

.......wat i did i put a little touch up paint using the brush...
