I read somewhere in this thread that Hero is planning to launch the old Karizma R with some improvements... is that true...? if yes... where you guys got the information from...? i dont see any such news on internet yet...

I doubt that the old ZMA would be launched. It should ideally be the new one with improvements done on the high lift cam (to reduce the owners' headache) and some improvements to plastic to handle vibes. The bike wears an EBR 1190 RS look and hence it should look that way with EBR tinkered tech!

I lost my patience with Hero HX250R so much so that I bought a Duke. Was waiting for it so eagerly. Loved the design of that bike. :<

Is this neutral switch located inside the engine also?

My bike's handle bar was removed and installed again recently to fix the loose lock console. Could both of the issues resultant of because of that?

Also how to explain this clutch slack to a local bike mechanic? Do you mean the freeplay of the clutch lever? I am not taking my bike to Hero Service center and will visit my neighborhood mechanic. And is this sudden hard gearing because of the clutch slackness?

The mechanic has 20w40 grade oil which i didnt allow him to top up as my bike has stock hero 10w20 oil.

So what is the correct procedure to check oil level? Without screwing in the dip stick or with fully screwing in?

u shud get it in service center

Hello,I've read quite a few pages of this thread and i'm out in market looking to buy a decent Karizma-R as i have never went with hero motorbikes previously,i wanted to know the maintence and upkeeps of the current bike,i would be going out for a used one as the new karizma is not really of my taste and what things should i be looking for in a used bike.
My budget is around 45-50k what model could i fetch under this and i would be thankful if you know anyone in around hyderabad who is selling it.

To the benefit of all those who are changing the lock set of the pre 2007 Zma. Most service stations/Shops sell ZMR locks as Zma's . Make sure you get the lock set with a flat base and not the curved one in case of latter ones. We realized this when were partially restoring @SriramEfunds red Zma.

The post 2007 Zma and ZMR lock set is compatible with each other but not the pre 2007 model.

Here is a Pic for your reference






The actual Part number for the old model is 35010-KRY-900

the other part numbers for the Same lock set is
35010-KRY-930
35010-KRY-960

The difference being the Type of Key and color of the tank lock.

Aswin, I am not using any relay or twin windtone horns now. In 2008, I fitted twin windtones at a mod shop in Koti, Hyderabad. I was not aware at that time that they had cut the main wiring to accommodate relay and horns. Later after a year, I have removed everything at SVC and at that time I got to know that main wiring was cut. I asked them to seal it properly. The seal came off in the recent time and yesterday electricals gone kaput because of this. Today I cleaned everything with petrol and sealed it properly. Even cleaned the Bosch battery contacts with petrol and cleaned it thoroughly. Viola, all the problem solved. Previously, when I apply brakes, the pilot lamps and neutral indicator light used to dim. Now its gone completely. Also, with 55w headlight, pilots, and indicators, the horn doesn't honk properly (when under 3k rpm). Now With all the lights up, the horn is working well without any weakness. So, the Bosch battery doing amazing work, still strong after 4 years.

Here is the picture of cut wire. Its under the tank. Observe the black wire that is cut.




And, as I opened everything, thought of changing the lockset (I had only a DUPLICATE key, which was not cut properly and is very blunt) as I lost original keys (Price INR 930).

So is there any way to fix this new lock set to old karizma?
