Re: Hero Honda Karizma ZMR

Yes, sure.. Just was interested in using it to clean the injector, as the injector has never been cleaned.. More importantly using this stuffs shouldn't effect the bike and it's internal part...

Re: Hero Honda Karizma ZMR

This one's for you.

[MENTION=47074]Divya[/MENTION] shran I thought I was the only one who doesn't let anyone drive my bike till now

Re: Hero Honda Karizma ZMR

I was heading back home today from a tiring day from hospital
on the way i was actually busy riding my ZMR and listening its sweet voice when a child sitting on his father's bike's tank said loudly - " Papa mai bada hoke ye bike lunga"
was so happy hearing that , remembered my days when i used to sit on my papa's RAJDOOT'S tank and seeing Karizma R used to say "mai bada hoke ye bike lunga"
everything flashed in my mind in a second from that day when i asked my father in my childhood till now when am riding my first bike Karizma ZMR the most beautifull and reliable bike and yes the bike of my dreams , truly my dreams........

Re: Hero Honda Karizma ZMR

I bet almost same story for all the members in this forum...
I was in class 10 back then in 2003, when I first saw the benchmark KARIZMA (blue in colour)... Since then I made up my mind to have it in my future... But when it was time to buy a bike for me (a gift from Dad after passing 12th ) then had to satisfy myself with Pulsar 180...

Still in my minds I had made sure that after completing my engineering KARIZMA - R (by then the latest version) would be my first buy with my own earned money....

The wish/dream/determination came true on 23rd October 2011, when I bought my White Pearl... Since then I am proud and happy owner of ZMR, me and companion (white Pearl) has seen many highs and lows on and off the road... Now in June 2014, we are a proud couple (me and my wife) to have ZMR as a part of love and marriade life...

KARIZMA - This was the name that drove me for bikes, hence I got it embossed on my fuel tanks of ZMR!!!

yaara senti kar diya.. purane din yaad aa gaye...

Re: Hero Honda Karizma ZMR

exactly same story of mine as per discussed by above members, "Karizma" name has many sentiments associated with it



yes you should use it properly & according to the given instructions & it should keep your bike's internals healthy, no harm using these additives..just take marginal cautions like gaping of time intervals & ratio by which you are adding additive to the fuel.

Re: Hero Honda Karizma ZMR

I am back from my Surprise Visit to my fiance She was SURPRISED ALRIGHT!!

I am a Proud Owner of my Black Pearl.. no where she gave up on me.. This was my First Solo ride.. not a Short one mind you a ~5200 kms ride from Indirapuram, Ghaziabad to Coimbatore, Tamil Nadu.

I completed 1200 kms in 1 day.. i.e in 15 hrs.. continuous ride with minimal breaks.. Luckily, the climate was a bit favorable except today which gave me a big headache.. speeds ranging from 80 kmph to 126 kmph and a top speed of 131 kmph..

I always had a feel what if she gives up on me.. what will I do in the middle of the Road.. no mechanics available on the Highways.. even if any, they have no clue about this bike.. many things striking my mind.. and On the other hand.. I had faith in my Black Pearl..

The best part of the Ride was.. everyone had their eyes on me.. errr.. I mean my Black Pearl.. with all the gears.. people kept asking me.. are you going for a Race.. I said no.. I am going for a tour.. just roaming around :P people even stopped me asking me if I am riding all the way from New Delhi.. People were even more surprised to see that it was a Solo ride.. when they asked how? I just said.. I Trust my Bike and God When I say everyone.. I mean everyone.. every time I overtook a vehicle, the only sound they possibly heard was the chain sound which I personally Love to the core..

I had to hurry back as I applied for sick leaves and my friend was covering up for me and yeah.. No One knows.. I didn't tell my Parents so I had to turn back safe and sound else my Fiance would be in trouble..

Here I am.. safe and sound..

On Open highways.. the bike flies.. when I say flies.. I mean it FLIES.. cross winds.. disaster to ride a ZMR at high speeds.. at one point of time, the wind pushed me and my Black Pearl towards the right side when I was doing 100s.. i had to apply brakes and apply extra weight on the front to bring it back to control.. I seriously wish they did something to the fairing to let the cross winds pass-by.. never the less..

I had wrist pain when I was returning.. that too on the last 2 days.. maybe because I was riding in rain yesterday and the today due to heat? Not sure but this was something new..

I did have a Sore behind when I reached Salem.. but on my return.. I didn't have any pain on my @$$ i am still perfectly fine except my right wrist is paining..

I had a Tough time in Hyderabad and Bangalore with no direction boards, had to use my trusted Nokia Maps to get me to Hosur road and Hyderabad was even worse.. no one knew the way to Bangalore.. again, I had to use the GPS and it took me safely..

On my Return, I had a tough time in Nagpur.. accidentally I entered into the City and phew.. my GPS was showing me en route Bhopal and I didn't want to go via Bhopal so I had to recollect a city from my mind to reach NH7/44 and in Agra.. I hate those useless Direction boards.. I could have just gone the way I knew..

The tires.. they are just perfect.. I am using Michelin Sirac Street up front and MRF Zapper Q at the rear.. perfect grip in rain i must say.. especially the Sirac Street in front They never gave up on me.. I always had a fear for Puncture and I reached safely

Just one pic which I got to upload...



This pic was clicked in Pench National Park.. which is just after Nagpur towards Jhansi.. I looked ahead and I saw some 6 RE Thumpers.. Gave them a Thumbs up and looked at the cloud ahead and this is how it was.. Just loved it.. I wanted to click a pic and I did.. but in just 3 mins, a heavy downpour..

Re: Hero Honda Karizma ZMR

And we're all proud of you. You rode quick! I'd have preferred a couple of more days for the same. But I guess different riders have different styles.
And very sorry for not being able to meet you. I was in the middle of an onsite call and couldn't even talk properly let alone meet you!

Re: Hero Honda Karizma ZMR

Ahh.. If I had more time, I would have had a slow journey with number of pics and stops This was a quick one as I didn't have time.. besides.. I am sure she will never forget this surprise..

no worries I knew you were busy.. thats why I asked if you are free.. and this abhi dawg had his phone switched off

Re: Hero Honda Karizma ZMR

Bro am really really sorry man. Lol! Had I known the dates before, surely would have made myself free. You could atleast have posted here. When I had read your post here, I seriously was looking forward in meeting you. But did not know when you'd be here. Am really sorry
And its great that you completed this ride successfully bro. Best part was, it being a surprise for ur partner! Many congrats for completing it and nice to know your bike managed it without serious problems! 5000 odd kms is really tiring and hats off that you managed it.
I just wish my cell was on and we could have met

Re: Hero Honda Karizma ZMR

This was suddenly planned.. thats why it was a Surprise for her.. i started making the plan and decided the routes on the 9th of this Month.. decided the check points.. was thinking of starting on the 11th of June but preponed it to 10th of June evening around 3:30 pm directly from office as i didnt want to waste a single minute as i know this is going to be a VERY LONG ride.. and no worries about the meet.. we will meet up for sure some time soon..

Thanks for the comments.. i owe it to my Black Pearl.. and throughout, i was using Hero engine oil.. my bike seems to like it more.. changed it twice. Once in Nagpur and then on my return after crossing Salem..

By the way.. there was no problem with the bike.. except the Horn wire got loose and it stopped working.. fixed it in Yamuna Express Way and later the Earth wire got cut in Nagpur on my way back.. again fixed it there itself and here I am.. with the reliability of Karizma ZMR and the willpower of soul trusting my Black Pearl

Few pics.. normal ones..





Took my bike inside the room as the hotel didnt have parking.. wow.. i slept with my Bike in a bed room..

Re: Hero Honda Karizma ZMR

Guys saw the new Karizma ZMR 2014 model in the showroom today. Must say the bike looks cool. Front is good-looking & rear is cool as well. Completely different from what it looks on-screen.











Rear looks so cool man. Have never seen such a sexy rear. Believe me!

Re: Hero Honda Karizma ZMR

Height of the front fairing is the only sore point in this bike otherwise hero has done a good job in injecting new life in its old warhorse. Just try to imagine it with 4 inch shorter wind shield, I am sure you guys will understand what I am trying to say...
