    Hi Guys,

    Couple of weeks ago came back from Konkan trip (me and wifey) due to my lazy nature (cursing myslef for this) i never ever uploaded any blog/post of our rides but looks like I need to type it just for the records.

    During this trip I didn't regretted on my decision to going for ZMR because of ZMR's wonderful pillion support and comfort.

    Konkan has always been like my second home, not because of my native place belongs to Konkan region but it''s natural beauty and splendid seashores and ofcourse yummy food always attracts me be in whatever the season, I explored the entire Konkan in every season and yet thirst and exploring the Konkan remains beneath me, please find some of the pics

      I suggest avoid topping up....The ZMR drinks close to around 1.1l of oil...i comfortably put 1l...no issues....!
      If you face that ur oil levels go down considerably...check for ur head seals for leakage...

      Yes i agree....Listening to music impairs one of the most important senses of hearing while riding. Its very important.....I also feel that when one is able to hear the sound of the engine....i personally feel that the sound of the engine keeps me in comfortable touring speed limits. I have ridden with earplugs on too....but ive stopped it now as i somehow used to exceed my comfortable touring speeds....!!

                  People call me mental when I tell them that I like the chain sound. They say its a defect that am trying to hide. Lol! Pity....
                  I feel its the signature sound of a Karizma. You can recognise it anywhere, anytime..

                    Hello all !!
                    Completed 1200+ kms on my steed this week,
                    Did some searching on XBHP and switched to GULF PRIDE 4T plus(20w40 mineral oil) as Hero oil was not satisfactory.
                    Results after a small trip of 110kms was verry good.
                    Vibes are low , gear shifts are back to normal and tappet noise comparatively low.
                    All in all me HAPPY HAPPY

                      I put 1 L initially and now topped it off to the max. But the results are very good. Gear shifts are smoother and the bike isn't vibrating that much. Like sometimes I find myself comfortable cruising at 70 kmph in 4th gear itself. So planning to top off like this once every 1000 kmph


                      Guys where can we get top quality biking gear in Chennai. Any idea?

                          1. Is there any way to adjust the loose mirrors? The fitting with the fairing I can tighten, but the mirrors seem loose and vibrate while riding.

                          2. For the headlight adjustment screw, can we move with finger itself or do we need a driver?

                          3. What is the best rear tire without any stock setup change.

                              Kms covered - ~50,000. (120 odd kms to go)
                              D.O.B - Jan 9, 2011

                              Money spent on fuel - Rs 87,519 only.
                              Money spent on service/maintenance - Rs 7245 (oil) + Rs 1200 (filter) + 600 (spark plug) + Rs 1000 (chain sprockets) + Rs 250 (coneset) + Rs 4800 (front pads) + Rs 200 (seat cover ) + Rs 1950 (front tire) + Rs 5200 (2 rear tires) + Rs 600 (Osram NB) + Rs 400 (pilot lamps) + Rs 250 (left RVM) = Rs 23,695 only

                              Total = 1,11,214 INR. OMG!

                              P.S - I maintain an excel sheet for every single penny spent on the bike.
