I don't see any wings

Re: Hero Honda Karizma ZMR

LMAO and that too in the office

what does he have on the speedo BTW???

Re: Hero Honda Karizma ZMR

Guys what do you think of this one? Be honest, blunt!
All the gold and red colored parts are painted silver, effectively it's black and silver now (based on older Honda VFR).





BTW the reason of this drastic mod was a minor fall. One of my relatives leaned over the bike too much, resulting in a fall on the right side. The right fairing got lot of minor scratches and the silencer plate was dented and scratched too. I also had this mod planned for a long time, so I got the excuse. Instead of getting the fairing repainted, I got this vinyl done. Personally I like it, and other zmr owners in my city are astonished on seeing it.

Re: Hero Honda Karizma ZMR

Ha ha ha... I'm at my sharpest in office!

What may look like a parcel/carton to you in in fact solar telemetry! Not only does it charge the battery with sunlight, it also provides additional 150 hp of electric drive to the FRONT wheel thereby making this a 2x2 motorcycle!

Looks decent. I'd have left the forks and rear suspension stock though! Else, I'd prefer them black over silver. But, I'm glad you didn't vinyl the bile with HONDA stickers all around.
P.S - looks better than my bike with tacky stickers all around.

That level of sarcasm. _/\_

Update on my bike:

ODO heading towards 69k. Homerun in 2 weeks now. Changed to Motul 20w40 and rode for 50 km. Vibes have dampened. Heat in BLR prompted me to change from AX7 because the engine was knocking with pillion in traffic.
Also, some moron had stripped my tank pad few days back. Got a new Keiti pad from Planet DSG for 1200.

Re: Hero Honda Karizma ZMR

69K wo !!!
Amazing Divya bhai. :thumbup:

Re: Hero Honda Karizma ZMR

Post a pic of the tank pad? And motul which one??
P.s I just changed to shell ultra 10w40. It's butter smooth now

Re: Hero Honda Karizma ZMR

Motul 20w40 3000 4T plus. MRP is 312-20 = 292 (20 rupees discount on bottle). I got it for 265.

Re: Hero Honda Karizma ZMR

Recently removed the air filter snorkel. Immediately noticed increased low end torque, lovely grunt too! Since installing Pirelli Street demon 120 rear tyre, I had lost a little bit of low end torque, now it's back. But the mileage indicator shows HORRIBLY LOW figures, like 40% lesser! BTW today I covered the air filter hole with an iron mesh using fevi-quick, then made a rectangular snorkel out of scrap plastic pieces. It is larger than the air filter hole and is open on the bottom, it's main purpose being prevention of water entry while washing, rain etc. FYI the iron mesh/snorkel didn't change anything in terms of performance or sound.

I didn't calculate my ZMR's mileage accurately before, but it was approx 45 (stock conditions) because I don't rip the throttle, and drive around 3k rpm always. It has been a week since removing the snorkel, and I am not sure whether the current RTMI figures are true or not. At constant speed of 45 Kmph in top gear, it used to show ~70 Kmpl, now it shows ~45 Kmpl.

What do you guys think, the mileage indicator is correct or miscalculating?


My guess: The RTMI was designed to calculate mileage according to stock air filter conditions. Now that the air flow has increased, it detects more air flow and thinks that the throttle is opened way more than it really is.

Re: Hero Honda Karizma ZMR

Well, RTMI figures are meant to be taken with a pinch of salt. I only get mileage close to the indicated one on highways.

And 3000 RPM is too low. You're lugging the engine.
Also, removing the snorkel gives a pseudo effort of more torque. I know it because my bike has the snorkel removed for quite a few thousand KMS.

Sent from my phone. Kindly avoid it while riding.

Re: Hero Honda Karizma ZMR

The rtmi does not work in most of the situations. For example If you accelerate too hard it may show as low as 10kmpl, and the moment you let go of the throttle it may show 199kmpl [emoji14]
it only works in long highway rides when you maintain a constant speed throughout..

P.s you shifting the gears at 3k will slowly damage the clutch plates and eventually you'll have to change them sooner.. Shift at 4.5-5k

Weird starting problem - ZMR

Hi All,

When i try to start my bike using the electric starter it fails with a tick sound. Now the weird part it when i click the aluminium part of the starter that is just behind the cylinder with my key and try to start the bike it starts like there is /was no problem.

What could be the problem. Any suggestion.

PS: I did show it to a mechanic and he asked me to replace the carbon in starter.

Thanks,
Anil Rana
