So true..but my only prob is are PGM-FI bikes safe with local mechanics?

Bangalore Boys Please share the place where you get your ZMR serviced might as well give it a shot enough of this SAI motors they are sad.

I get it done at Sri Chandu Motors, Hosur Road but I believe you should go to nearest SS.

i get it done in nikki motors near mekhri circle but not a big difference,you can look for any alternative svc

i dont give it for service,i will only take it to him if there are vibes and other issues which are not related to engine

then i will change it to 55w halogen bulb today
thanks divya
any other bulb and cost of it you can suggest

Go for a normal halogen bulb. Philips halogen (55w) retails for 80 bucks. You'll feel the difference.
In case, you plan for long night rides, choose Philips Xtreme Vision

thanks and sure, i will go for the normal one
i already have the spare bulb of my swift
cost of philips xtreme vision since i am planning for a 4 days trip

swift headlight bulb is very yellowish and light too is not good...as per my experience...me too having swift and had tried the same on my zmr...instead buy a normal philips bulb...

okay but the normal philips bulb is the bulb used by maruthi right
can you tell me the model because if i ask him for a normal 55w bulb ,i am sure he will give me the same 55w halogen
thanks

Do we require to put some additional kits like HID kits or it will be just a replacement of bulb.

Ask for H4 type white halogen. Its not white per se, but bright yellow.

Its just plug and play. HID is a different game altogether

Will give it to a different Hero service center near my place.

Guys anyone have an issue of Rim paint wear off i got a Pirelli Sport demon on my bike looks really good but this rim paint wear off is pissing off should i get the rim re-painted?

How much average , you guys are claiming. As I am not very rash rider so I get around 40 for sure though I never checked the mileage but based on fuel refilling.

No Maruti does not use a Philips...they are of other manufacture..i am currently forgot the name...

Go to Car Accessories/spare parts shop and ask for Philips bulb...


Mine giving approx 41...city driving...

Hi ZMRians,

Am normally busy with my job from 08th to 22nd of every month so X-Bhp is not accessed much during this time.

Had a harrowing time for my Sweet ANGEL and hence was remorse and could not even look into this Forum.
Because this would add insult to my injury and pain only.

However overcame this SAD moment and back with a vengeance of course!!!

At 30220 Kms after 28 Months ANGEL had to be Hospitalised with Respiratory Failure.
On 18-Sep-2012 around 06:30 PM while returning Home from Office the movement stopped all on a sudden.
Lucky this happened very near to our IT Office hub in Kolkata and hardly 3 Kms away near NICCO Park, Salt Lake.
With in half an hour HELP poured in thru X-Bhp ians and my Biker Group friends with KTM, CBR, ZMA & GS150 dropped in.
Even our local Bike SHOP for Gears and Accessories dropped in with a mechanic around 08:30 PM.

The irony was being a day after VISHWAKARMA PUJA even my SVC was also closed and most Mechanics were in a trance.
Some how even with all this Help BABY refused to budge and our normal Biking JNAN failed miserably.
Actually it never failed but I wanted to be sure and my way of consolation.
However it was tied with Road side Political banner cloths behind the Yellow ZMA and dragged back to my Office Parking at 10:15 PM.

Accordingly I pushed back Home huffing and puffing in a Yellow CAB and reached around 11:30 PM.

Next day our Biker Shop sent one TATA ACE and the PATIENT was Air Lifted from Basement Garage to SVC Garage around 04:30 PM.
After reaching the HOSPITAL my preferred DOCTOR advised me to take rest and said would open and check on Friday 21-Sep-2012.
Since on THURSDAY it was Bharat Bandh it was no way possible.

The dreaded news was confirmed on FRIDAY and I was dumbstruck. Respiratory Failure.
Damage of FUEL Pump is to the tune of 12000 INR and I was literally searching for answers.

Had a personal visit to the Hospital next day to visit my ANGEL and completed some formalities.
YES honestly I was lucky enough that this is getting covered under my EXTENDED WARRANTY but never knew when this could be available.

Had an UPDATE that this has already dropped into my ASS and would be ready soon enough.
Planning to release from HOSPITAL by next weekend but may be with some broken Bones due to AIR LIFTING.
Need to claim the Belly thru INSURANCE.

Now I am relieved after sharing my PAIN with you all.

BLOGGING WHEELS & DHIRAJ hinted this few pages back.....

A well maintained & serviced ZMR had to face this ordeal and then it can happen to anyone.

Fuelling is done from one of the best Petrol bunks in Eastern India.
Do not Recall the last time when my Tank was empty since always refuelled in 300 Kms.
