hav u painted the side mirrors to Matte Black as well , looks different..! And ur carbon fiber stickers on the visor looks quite different from tat of @rreneav1987's sticker on his visor ?!?

and regarding ur Smoked headlights, Did u use Smoke paint ? or stickered it ?

Thanks

I used normal CF sticker, picked up a roll from eBay, turns out a lot cheaper than getting it done outside every time

For the headlight, its just paint.

Ull have to go to the sticker guy if you don't have a heat gun. Btw I had booked the one which snehit bhai showed but later there was a message saying out of stock. I recieved the mail three days after booking. So just went to a local guy who had these vinyle rolls. The exact same kind. Now am planning to put them on the plastic part which covers the speedo console. It may look good.

1. Am using Phillips Diamond vision 55-60w (pure white light) , which is good at normal conditions but are of NO USE during RAINS..
2. i completely dont prefer HID or Projectors
3. but still i would like to plonk only PURE WHITE lights,pls don ask me why

i just lov it.. tats y not considering Osram NB..

so kindly suggest me, wat al bulbs fall in those category..

I also use a Philip diamond vision for the past 1 year and I couldn't find any other halogen brighter and more whitish than this ! I guess U will have to shift to his if u need more white and bright light! But white light from my diamond vision provides zero visibility in rain !

Re: Hero Honda Karizma ZMR

[QUOTE=abhi7013;1017940]Guys, today while I started the engine a few drops of water and oil dropped from the silencer. There's a tiny hole underneath it rite. From there. I clicked the pics to show you guys just in case if it is not normal.

...water drops from silencer is normal ..which means your engine is healthy ..

Guys, I'm no one to explain or guide you, but
1) White light won't provide you any visibility in rain/fog, I see from your posts that you already know that.
2) It compromises your safety as well as that of others
3) (Only my personal opinion) I detest those horrible white lights that people put in just to show off, the glare is very annoying to oncoming vehicles. Please don't take it personally, but I know many others who feel that way as well.
4) Get a normal Xtreme Vision and your visibility range will increase. The crystal/diamond vision have a blue filter added to cut out light, it only appears brighter because it is at another spectrum and light is being cut out.

One shouldn't have to adjust tappets so often. Are you sure you're hearing tappet noises and having to adjust them every month? Not fairing or any other vibrations? Check if the engine mounting bolts are loose, those can cause a lot of vibrations and noise.

Re: Hero Honda Karizma ZMR

Got a chance to change the oil to rimula r3x. Existing oil was totally black. And the oil leak according to the mech is from the gear lever seal. That's what he said. As [MENTION=32286]psr[/MENTION] sir suggested I asked him to check if the neutral switch had fault. He said its fine. Since he didn't have stock of the gear lever seal, ill have to go back to him after 20 days since I've got exams now.

And speaking of white light, from experience I can say that anything less than 4300k is best. HIDs are a waste. Rite now my projector set up has a 4300k bulb in it but am not satisfied at all by the beam throw. As someone said, its just looks! Since I hardly ride my bike at night, I just opted for projector.

Well this is just physics being a b!Tc#

You want a bulb that can provide better rain/fog visibility, choose something from 3000k to 4300k spectrum

Had been looking for auxiliary lights for the bike but just couldn't find anything. Finally managed to import some stuff from taiwan and got a 32w led projector, ended up fitting a single one near the rvm:

Just auxiliary lights on:

Re: Hero Honda Karizma ZMR

Went on a 300kms trip around Western ghats yesterday covering[Valparai solayar,Athirapally,Nirar] consisting of National highway, sandy roads, gravel roads and lots of hair pin bends..

The bike's ground clearance is based on the center stand? or the faring?

The center stand kept on taking a beating for like 20 times

The front tyre seemed to be very griipy and it kept on throwing up the stones at the fairing and bike's underneath areas...

almost fell on a gravel hair pin bend but managed to control the bike in a split second else one side of the bike would have been very much damaged...

Many.
Air filter, tyre pressure, your sitting position, wind direction, chain lubed or not (friction), method of upshifts made (post 6k is ideal to achieve 120+)

Woohooo, tapatalk works on my phone!

I second that. Even the fuel quality matters here..

Awesome pics there man. So, u've a ZMR. U shud change ur DP. I thot u had an RTR. I wish I had such roads nearby. But, they are too far away from my home.

Some pics from my recent ride. Just 25km from my house.

I wanna sail away in a boat
To the dreamland that I seek
Wanna catch some crabs & fishes on the way
Having fun trying to catch the horizon on the sway

Hero Engine oil is useless. After 800km, slight engine tappet noise is appearing. myt be also bcoz of low fuel level. Only 2 bars. Hv to check.
Also, some tiny vibration sounds are coming from my bike. Any possible sources from where they come in ZMR & how to fix??? Any help wud be appreciated.
