Re: Hero Honda Karizma ZMR
It is simple the battery is at fault. Stator plate is not usually at fault. Even if stator plate is fault why do you need to change the stator plate. Just change of coil will do. But rest assured coils never go weak so soon.
For battery test go to a dealer which has battery testing machine rather than testing with multimeter go to a battery testing machine, usually Minda dealers have it and if they charge a fees then pay and test. My retailer friend has one.
What they basically do is that they will connect the battery terminals to the tester and they will flick the switch to self start mode. Then they will press the load switch. There will be three lights 1. good, 2. ok and 3. Bad, if your battery is gone then no matter how much it shows at no load in load testing will show bad.
Amaron has two batteries one is ALPHA series that came with 5years warranty and other is BETA series that has 4 years warranty. When i replaced my extreme battery i preferred AMARON as my Joy has Amaron and at 4.5 years still running string. My retailer friend said that the battery in my Joy is alpha series but now it has been stopped and the beta series are not of that quality. Instead they have a lots of complain. So i went for SF SONIC which has better quality.
So new battery doesn't mean a good one as new amarons are prone to problems.
So get the battery checked on load.
Else do one thing connect a multimeter and switch on the lights and also indicators. Then crank, if voltage is going below 9 v then battery is gone. Replace it.
And usually coil plate doesn't need replacement check the rectifier.
But from your post it is the battery as battery is not holding the charge and making a huge load on electricals which is not letting the voltage increase on acceleration.
In new battery the battery is good so bike is charging it properly. Have full doubt on battery.

[MENTION=47074]Divya[/MENTION]saran- Sad to know about that accident. Hay are very dangerous to vehicles. The idiots strew them on road to separate the grains from Hay as it makes it cheaper as no labour and machinery is used but those fools never thought of danger to vehicles. Not only of skidding but those cars radiator fan can suck them and wind them which will cause damage to fan and also other components. Here also the same thing when i go on state highway and when i pass villages the same hay on road. The trick is to make the bike straight, do not move the handle and also do not touch the brakes, go as straight as possible.
Anyways what has happened is for good as you have no injury on yourself and as the saying goes:-That which doesn't kill you makes you stronger.
For that leaking o-ring get a splendor tappet cap o=ring or shock absorber o-ring and use a little dendrite will never leak from that area again.

after 5 months, I am facing issues with the battery again.. myself and @prateek2210 went to Karol Bagh on Saturday evening to check on a headlight assembly for his bike, on our way, it was evening so he turned on the parking lights on my bike. we stopped for signal and he was finding difficulties to neutral the bike. so the bike turned off and then he got the bike to neutral. so the green signal flashes an he cranked the bike and down goes the speedo console and luckily the bike started. i was like WTF.. the next day I took the bike to the service center.. they checked the charging using multimeter.. with ignition off, the battery showed 12V, with the bike turned on, the battery showed the same and when the acceleration given, the battery showed only 12.4V at max.. then he wanted to check the starter relay, they checked and same happened.. initially they said the Starter Plate has to be checked.. they got a new starter plate and before removing the old one, they wanted to check with another battery. they did and that battery seemed to charge better. showed upto 14.16V when acceleration was given.
so they came to a conclusion that the issue is with the battery, get it changed. I was like it is just 5 months old. is it possible for the battery to go kaput.. they said yes.
I left from the place without checking the voltage rating with load on (headlights) because what seems to happen when i went to Amaron is, the battery I am using at the moment, when load is applied, it doesn't go beyond 11.4V even when Acceleration is given. then he got a new battery from inside and checked and the battery was showing 12.66V with ignition off, engine on it showed 14V + .. then when he applied load (headlights on) the battery didn't stayed down below 12.5V.. so this guy said it is an issue with the Bike's charging unit..
what could be the problem here?? @psr sir @Divya Sharan @sibun and all others.. i need suggestions.. is it the issue with the starter coil or the charging unit?? the starter Plate will cost me somewhere near 2000/-
i have been facing this issue from the very beginning. I always knew something was wrong with the charging unit.. instead the Service Center guys kept saying everything is fine
