    Thanks for the Prompt response.I tried looking for this option but didn't find it gud enough. Looking for a Single Analog Speedometer as It might look gud. Just like it was in Enticer but not the Chrome one.

            So the new ZMA and the outgoing ZMA have the same Main Jet size?

              Oops my bad, for a moment when I saw new ZMA I went ahead to assume it was the 2013 Hero labelled ones. I guess sibun or psr sir would be able to help you with that info.
              Shell Advance AX7. Cheap and gets the job done, even AX5 is good. I prefer to stick with Shell branded oils, as they've never let me down.

                    Finally... The pics of my ZMA on XBhp. Time for her 15 minutes:-).

                    These pics were taken a week prior to the First Service. The First Service went smoothly, got her a teflon coating, and a change of gear oil @950 km.
                    The mileage seems to have improved, roughly 30+ kmpl in city riding. Also noticed a higher idling rpm up from 1.5 to approx 1.8 X 1000 rpm.
                    Although I can not confirm the month of manufacture, the year of manufacture is 2013.

                      is it mandatory to change the gear oil during/post the first service ??

                      If yes then please suggest a brand for gear oil along with its grade,

                      my bike has crossed 4k kms, but i haven't changed the gear oil yet !!

                          There no such thing as 'gear' oil for these motorcycles. Its just engine oil, that does the duty in both the lower part (gear box, clutch etc.) and upper part (piston/valves)
                          Yes, engine oil should be changed at the first service and preferably between every 2000 to 3000km. If you are new to the confusing world of oils, then just stick to the recommended grade and buy it from the service center in a sealed bottle.

                          PS: Gearless scooters like the activa , pleasure etc, need both the engine oil (around 800ml) and 'transmission/gear' oil (around 120ml, but this requires less frequent change)

                            I've been wanting to ask this for a long time. Does it really matter if I do not turn off the fuel when parking for a long time? An observation was that when I did not turn off the fuel when using everyday it starts nicely in the morning. But if I keep the fuel off overnight, then it struggles a bit to start up the next morning.

                              My ZMA starts fine ya, infact i havnt even used the choke yet for the first start. I have installed a petrol lock, so i always have to turn off the fuel to take out the key and park.
                              Ps: My beast has done 9000kms and is only 7 months old.
