Re: Karizma/Karizma R

Since everyone's going for the coneset, I would also suggest you go ahead and look into it. And just to satisfy my curiosity but the bike in main stand and with the front wheel off the ground tighten the bolt on the upper T first followed by the ones on the lower T.

Re: Karizma/Karizma R

get em out, you don't need to reserve them

the noise emerges once the front disc is pressed and released... to be precise it emerges only when the brake lever is released!!

There was no noise as I compressed and decompressed the suspension without using the front brake

Re: Karizma/Karizma R

Hey [MENTION=41586]Divya Sharan[/MENTION] can we fit the rear part of zmr on zma?

Re: Karizma/Karizma R

My only question is "Why?".

ZMA is one of the most handsomely proportional bikes ever sold in India. Nothing over done (except for the front cowl added with the R version).
You may retrofit the disc setup if you wish. You can see the pics few pages back. ZMR's rear isn't as gorgeous as the ZMA's!

Re: Karizma/Karizma R

Something tells me, the issue would vanish if you take the caliper off, and reset everything.
Direct fit according to SVC. I believe Aneesh@4Ghz has pics.

Re: Karizma/Karizma R

how do I reset everything, only the rotor was opened to replace the pads, rest of the bike is as it came (untouched/Stock!)

which calliper are you referring to, could I have some pics ? (only if it suits you well)

Re: Karizma/Karizma R

Underground rider, did you check the coneset? Do not touch the caliper yet.
Let's troubleshoot from steering and proceed further.

Re: Karizma/Karizma R

No bro, I haven't checked the coneset yet, will be getting it done tomorrow.

in parallel I've been looking this up on Google as well

Indicators I'm facing are pretty much the same as suggested by you guys, its either a damaged/worn out coneset or a mis-aligned one

any specific brand of coneset I need to procure? or should I stick to genuine hero spares!

Re: Karizma/Karizma R

The problem is the turn indicators on the left keeps breaking.... The reason behind this is I am married . I recently put the new stay n did a short tour of 400kms it wall still there even after facing the bad roads. But as soon as my wife joined me it broke again..

As women when sitting on pillion unknowingly break them as you may have observed on many bike only the left indicators hanging by the bikes. So I asked..

I know that Zma's design is flawless..that's the only reason why it was still selling in good numbers. Not like the new models they made shit out of it

Re: Karizma/Karizma R

@experts, pl post procedure in detail- how to tune AFR of zma. I hv screwed up my zma tuning myself, I want to learn and rectify it myself only.

Re: Karizma/Karizma R

A DIY would be much cheaper, don't you think? You're planning to spend thousands just because your indicator falls with a pillion?

Discussed like a million times already.

3.5 turns of the screw ensuring you follow the process mentioned here - http://www.xbhp.com/talkies/general-...ml#post1041987

Re: Karizma/Karizma R


Your problem is indicator breaking or marrying😆😆

Re: Karizma/Karizma R

This thing, thats the caliper, sorry for not having a better picture.



Every TAK relates to something being loose somewhere or the other, it can be loose T bolts, cone set or even brake caliper in your case, so just take it off, and put it back, but this time make sure that the pads are properly seated, the screech plate is properly set, everything is snug without any extra clearances and finally all the bolts are properly torqued in.

3~3.5 turns would do. I would settle with 3 and let it be, too much tweaking and it could develop an air leak.

Re: Karizma/Karizma R

Friends..
I've purchased brand new Karizma R in 2007.. Since then number of bikes like Machismo AVL500, Thunderbird, FZ, CBR250, Thunderbird500, FZ again, Ninja300 n Ninja650 came and gone.. but Zma is still with me like trusted horse since day one..

So last month I've decided to give her new lease of life..
Things need to be changed was
1) All Plastic body panels.
2) Tyres
3) Indicators
4) front Brake master cylinder
5) Clutch n pressure plates
6) Clutch housing
7) Timing chain kit n tensioner
8) Chain Sprocket
9) Battery and battery cables
10) spark plug, cable n cap
11) Scilencer plate
12) clutch and Excelator cables
13) handlebar
14) side stand
15) engine oil
16) Some nut bolts

It took me lot of time n energy to source all the items and once all came in while fitting I've discovered that RUBBER bush where body panels fit are worn out.. So to source all rubber parts it took me one month.. Finally work began to put all things together..
Repainted swingarm, wheels etc..
N my Karizma R looked like it came out of showroom right away..
After 9 years.. 50,000kms bike became new once again



So new tension came to protect bike from fall etc as it don't come with any leg guard.. N search begins for leg guard n finally I found this.. See pics.. Perfect fit..



I'm happy )
