Each and every joint! (nut-bolt ones)

can you please post a pic of the rubber inserts?

Can't post them bro. Basically, cut tire/cycle tube in the shape of washers and place them at every bolt location for better damping.

Is this method effective in reducing the vibes ?!

Yup. Very much.. i havent tried with rubber yet, i will do it over this weekend if possible when i get my bike for tappet adjustment..

@ divya sharan, if possible, can you post a pic of the rubber damper you made so it gives an idea to everyone including me??

Just to remind, tappets should be adjusted when the engine is completely cold, and with piston at TDC in compression stroke.

Why don't you check Shell petrol bunks? They stock most Shell oils.

Woohooo, tapatalk works on my phone!

Got it in Delhi NCR buddy.. i have to see.. thanks for the suggestion

Shell AX7 is excellent for Honda engines. We have two ZMRs here who have been using it since an year. I have used a couple of times on my Karizma too and it was very good. In fact, its the best semi-synthetic oil that you can get for Honda engines.

In case if you are not finding it, go to Shell India Website and take the regional number and call them. Tell them that its not available. They would definitely help you.

The problem with castrol is, there are many duplicate ones on a rotation.. which means, you wont know which is original and which is duplicate.. the shell oil are much better in terms of keeping the engine clean and improved performance as the engine doesnt get too hot

Thats going to be difficult for me the service center is about 7 kms from my house. I guess I will have to let the bike cool down for about 30 minutes and then get it a wash and ask them to adjust it. Thanks for letting me know

To add here with my experiences i have been a user of IFTEX SYSTEM G for more than 5 years. I get it from Bharat petroleum pump and i can vouch for its effectiveness. WIth regular use bike feels smoother and more responsive. Presently using in JOY, CBZ EXTREME, and pleasure with good results.And regarding oil then let me add here i have used both VEEDOL SWIFT 10W 40 and SHELL AX7 for considerable time in my Joy. Both are excellent oils while the VEEDOL swift scores a little better rating. I have once ridden my Joy on the swift for 5k kms without changing and oil didn't show that it was time for replacement. If anybody can get Veedol SWIFT then use and then report here, you all will be very satisfied.


[AB] Yes the retailer was suggesting me to use Veedol Swift 10W40 as an replacement for AX7, he tried to convince me that it's a good oil and atleast it's at par with AX7.. I have told to get hold of AX7 some how and will pick all the bottles when they are available...

So according to you Veedol Swift is a good substitute... Anyone else have used in ZMR??

You will not get SHELL AX7 in Kolkatta now as the distributor in eastern zone has ceased to function and thus no new supplies of Shell oil. The same here in Bhubaneswar as no supply, this has been confirmed by my retailer friend as no distributors presently in eastern zone.

When you touch the engine, there should not be any warmth, it should be cold. Once I waited for 5 hours for the engine to get normal.

...hmmm.. we can use ice cubes too .. ... or Chilled beer over engine...

hehehhe

Your profile pic has the words that I was going to say I prefer Ice cubes over Chilled bear.. wait.. I just read it.. over engine my bike will act like it is drunk
