Curious why you'd recommend a KTM/NS? Plus the ZMR, I've been told, gives 42-45 if ridden below 50 kph.

How common is the issue of fairing rattle on the ZMR ?

Naah, its bulky for city. Though we long term users have got used to it and we can manoeuvre in city, but the difference is immediately felt if I jump to a light weight bike.
Also, what's the point of getting ZMR if you ride below 50 kmph? 50 kmph in 5th gear would be 3125 rpm and you won't get good mileage and it *may* knock as well. One must ride in the proper power band.
Fairing rattling issue is there in all faired bikes and double sided tape or tube is the solution.
I'm a very content owner, but if your needs are strictly for city, then you might as well look at 125-150 cc bikes.

Tank bag and saddle bags help.

@sarkartheruler , you can check out the Cramster turtle magnetic bag, decent quality and serves the purpose . Had been using it on my Pulsar 180 for more than a year (Yet to try on my ZMR).here is a pic

ALSO our fellow ZMR owner @Sachinnair has done his LEH ride with the bag.

Cool, but will it scratch the naked tank? I love the sexy smooth look on mine...

No Bro not really. Just take a little care before using the bag.
1st check if tank surface is clean (dust free), then place the bag at position as per your need (adjusting a little forward or backward ) and finally let the magnets grip the tank.

Just make sure that you don't put the magnet first and then try to move/adjust the bag position, because the 6 magnets on the bag's straps are strong, and doing so may leave scratches(very minor).

You wouldn't enjoy the bike in city traffic. But its indeed the best for touring.

Apart from Vijay's pointers, you can alternatively put a thin towel underneath to avoid scratches.

Re: Hero Honda Karizma ZMR

Hi all, am facing an issue. when I give throttle only lightly, engine feels like it is not getting even fuel. I cant describe that feel correctly. Like for some time engine runs normal, then it is slow, then fast, likewise. earlier this was not the case. Does this mean, the fuel injector tip is clotted? [MENTION=32286]psr[/MENTION]

Yes, get the injector cleaned and use Iftex System G fr a few thousand kms.

Could it also be possible that there is water in the tank? due to which the fuel isn't supplied evenly?

Absolutely possible! But since he precisely asked for injector cleaning, I presumed he would have checked the tank for water.

May not be because water is there in the tank. Because, at higher rpms, engine is smooth. This is only in lower rpms.

PS: In idle speed, I cant find any jerking fuel supply

ah. well.. try using the Injector Cleaner as suggested by Divya..

P.S. My ZMA back in 2008 had the same kinda problem. during low speed, the bike used to struggle & on high speeds, the engine is smooth and the same behavior as you mentioned. however, the culprit was water in tank. after removing the water, the bike was back to normal.. Am just saying it could also be a possible reason

May sound odd, but please check for kinks in the chain too. Are sprockets wearing evenly?

Re: Hero Honda Karizma ZMR

@ Vishnurajanme....From your description it seems like Fuel is not flowing properly.....First get the Fuel Injector cleaned and tank inspected for water or contaminants ....both can kill your Fuel pump,so do it at the earliest.
