    Ravi, with regards to the Question #1. You'll need to read the quoted message where I have asked why there is a reddish color around the tyre wall. (sorry, if I had missed to make my post a bit clear)

    Question #2 - I went through the website where the chart gave the figure 100/90(metric) = 3.25/3.50(Inch), so that would anyways discuss it here.

    Motorcycle Tire Size Conversion, Speed Ratings, Load Ratings Chart - webBikeWorld
    I didn't pay attention to the Red color part, sorry for that. And I don't know why there is red color. Regarding the tire size, AFIAK, 3.25 denotes the number of inches, which equals to 83mm. Maybe I am wrong.

    Found a good site that explains the tire sizes

      I am getting strange problem with my ZMA

      When I start the bike (not cold start) idle rpm is around 1500-1600 but when I drive in traffic and put clutch idle rpm rises to 3000!!

      I am not able to understand what is the root cause of this problem, I replaced choke wire also but problem still persists

      I am using mobil 10W40 engine oil which I got filled just 15 days back replacing Shell ax7 10W40, I was having same issue with previous oil also

      If someone can guide me in this regard, it would be a great help!!

        Looks like a vacuum leak around the carb or a damanged/sticky diaphragm in the carb. btw how does the throttle feel ? does it move freely or do u feel any stickiness?
        first get these checked, if not it could be an issue with the clutch plates slipping.

          Are your throttle cables A and B ok? Have them replaced.
          Reduce warm idle to 1400 or so and see if your bike shuts down once clutch is released. What is the situation at neutral? does the bike idle properly then?
          Check AFR tune.
          Apart from these basics, you need to get the carb looked at and cleaned.

            Your "B" cable seems to be stuck...replace the Throttle accelerator cables as suggested by AK3D...

                      I'm pretty much aware about the new model, however in my opinion the new model is a disgrace to the karizma legacy

                      I would be using the zma sparingly, mostly during the weekends and post 7pm to beat bombay traffic

                      only reason to go for this, I wanted something that was refined smooth and rattle free... i loved the unicorn but it would be too small a bike for me (6.2ft)

                      the best part about zma is its engine and after reading all the reviews I'm pretty sure about not regretting my decision as this bike would be sparingly used and I'd kept it for a really long time

                        I'm 6.2ft and the unicorn is fine for me

                            Hmm, the karizma is a very good bike for sure, you'll definately not regret buying it

                              could someone please help me out with this, so that i can cross verify
