    Sorry, I did not quite get you. Could you please explain it in bit easier way?

      Guys, carrying forward an interesting discussion on ZMR which originated on the CBR discussion thread - How many ZMR owners here can actually crank the bike when the bike is in gear, without pressing the clutch? When I say 'crank the bike', it is very obvious that the bike can't be started - it will immediately lunge and stall. But the questions that persist are:- Does it happen on all 1st-gen ZMRs? - Does it happen only on the 1st model ZMRs (The ones with yellow backlit consoles). - Is this phenomenon a design fault or it happens over time from mechanical failure of the switch?- Has anyone with a new ZMR (blue backlit HH/HMC) experienced the same?I for one, wouldn't believe that this phenomenon exists on new ZMRs since I have considerable experience with one. But there a considerable number of ZMR owners who have experienced otherwise. Do let your inputs flow...
      Never experienced any such issue.. I own the first generation ZMR with the amber back light on the speedo i always had to hold the clutch when in gear to crank the engine..it sounds like an issue with the gear and clutch switch..

        So, all is well with all switches in my bike lol.

        [MENTION=27501]rreneav1987[/MENTION] Thanks for the reply - we discussed that matter and quoting above post from Divya Sharan and Snehith - it was finally diagnosed as a fault with their respective bike's switches...just sheer coincidence that both had the same issue simultaneously.
        Biking is not about how many Km/h you put on your Speedo. It's about how many miles you put on your Odo. Ride Safe, Ride Long!

          Re: Hero Honda Karizma ZMR

          Guys i just noticed some mileage/speed range variations during my Bangalore-Hyderabad-Bangalore ride..

          Speed Range Mileage
          Up to 75 kmph 65-60 kmpl
          80-85 kmph 50-45 kmpl
          92-95 kmph 35-30 kmpl
          105 kmph 29-27 kmpl
          115 kmph 24 kmpl
          Has anyone experienced such a drop in mileage with these kind of speed range ?

          The points to consider are, at all these speed ranges I was riding for quite some time & kilometers at stretch.. infact at one go I rode for appx 90 mins at 105-112 kmph consistently.. The wind blast was always there & I was with a pillion. With chain well tightened/lubricated, tyre pressures 30/35 psi & with the bike serviced a week before.

          My Bikes:
          Yamaha RD (The one which taught me what riding is; Can never forget this one)
          Bajaj Caliber (The one closest to my heart; I still have it after 15 yrs !)
          Yamaha R15 V2.0 (The best I had; Ah it let me become the college hunk I once used to be :) )

            I haven't noticed while riding above 100 but till 95 it seemed to have the similar figures and at the end, my bike gave me an avg of somewhere around 45-46 kmpl..

            point to be noted.. I didn't check the air pressure.. i was constantly riding above 95 till 115 kmph range..

            what was the FE that you got when you went for the trip.. also it could be the reason that you had a pillion riding with you...

              on the first day of ride I guess it consumed appx. 15 ltrs for 585km.. which gives an appx. mileage figure of 39 kmpl

                  Re: Hero Honda Karizma ZMR

                  My PSD committed suicide today.
                  My first puncture on the ZMR in 34.2k kms which killed the ~20k kms old PSD. A flat 4-5 mm snail killed it. Tried repairing the puncture, but it was simply too wide a hole in the tire. Moreover, I do 50 kms daily on bad roads + weekend rides, I was uncertain.

                  Finally had to go for a tire change. Opted for MRF Zapper Q 110/90-18 TT tire. [MENTION=14688]veryhiphop[/MENTION] and @antan_shank, bros its a TT tire.

                  Cost me 2350.

                  PSD with the nail. Looks small, but was deadly.

                      No bro, I'm broke this month. First, my helmet got stolen. Then a few issues with bank officials related to personal loan which further f*cked me up! And now this.
                      Well, I rode just 24 kms so far. Grip is ok. Not like what PSD was when new. But better than stock.

                                My first puncture on the ZMR in 34.2k kms which killed the ~20k kms old PSD. A flat 4-5 mm snail killed it. Tried repairing the puncture, but it was simply too wide a hole in the tire. Moreover, I do 50 kms daily on bad roads + weekend rides, I was uncertain.

                                Finally had to go for a tire change. Opted for MRF Zapper Q 110/90-18 TT tire. @veryhiphop and @antan_shank, bros its a TT tire.

                                Cost me 2350.

                                PSD with the nail. Looks small, but was deadly.



                                MRF Zapper Q
                                From starting i was saying that its TT tyre...BTW look nice...and i think you may have removed the chain guard; as per my view of Zapper Q here on other bikes specially in ZMA ....its look to me wider then PSD..
