    The battery is NEW. Checked fuses below the seat, all are fine.

    What else to be checked ?
    What could be the problem ?
    The battery might be dying or not getting charged for some reason. Doesn't matter if it's new. Check voltages as described earlier to ensure that it is getting charged, and to rule out other errors.

      Got my bike from the ASC yesterday. The mechanic corrected the bike. Now its running good.
      The mechanic who worked on my bike, told me "there was a cut in the wire", on asking him what was the problem?. He was refusing to say anything more than this. Had an argument with him. But he was not ready to tell me the exact problem.

      I was getting pissed as he was not telling me the problem, so I took the bike, had a test run for about 10 kms - 13 kms. And then came to home. She passed all the tests.

        Congratulations on getting it sorted out. Must've been some sort of shorting that was causing these problems. I do hope he fixed an ample amount of electrical tape on the cut.

          I might need to replace my carb in the very near future. Dont wanna go for new. Anyone with a spare carb handy? My mech says the section where the slide sits in is kinda busted or worn out or something. The slide gets stuck somewhere between 2k to 3k rpm and the bike hiccups. Also strained ride at higher speeds.

            So they would be more towards yellow tone I guess.
            The low beam on Nightbreaker is yellow. The high beam is slightly white. I have been using NB for the past 5.5 years. Recently replaced the NB with NBP.

                Cost of NBP? Ebay says 1250.

                  Minor difference in focus. No difference in intensity.

                      NB is not available now. NB = Night Breaker. NBP = Night Breaker Plus. NBP replaced NB. NB is not available now.


                      @Divya Sharan, here is the link. With shipping charges, it would be around 900 I guess. Ask if somebody else would take the second bulb.

                          Guys I was looking for the function of "Dynamic Vibration Dampeners" on the RHS handle. Could not find any major explanation anywhere.
                          Can somebody please tell whether they do anything in actual and if yes, how ?

                            Clocked 300Kms till date , not revving above 4k, engine feel is smooth after few kms of run though little vibration on handle bar..Think first service will be done in next 4 days.
                            Have seen lot of issues regarding headlight brightnes of ZMA but I found it adequate, may be reflector is new thatswhy.

                              Got these OEM stickers for my karizma r tank as i wanted to get it repainted. I searched for these stickers in almost all ASC's but in vain finally I had to send a mail to the hyderabad heromotocorp office to get these to my nearest dealer. Got the order after a week of my complaint from the ASC(Bhanu motors erragadda)..

                                Thank you brother


                                The mechanic did not do his job correctly as all the electrcials went down again, few hours ago. Bloody "F". Dont know what to do now. Pata nahi aur kitna jhelna hai. Very frustrating.
                                Dont know whats wrong with it. Kuch samaj nahi aa raha.
