Re: Karizma/Karizma R Ownership Experience

Hey!! Found this pretty old post of your's but didn't see any further updates on RTR Disc installation on ZMA. Had any issues fitting them?

Edit - RTR Rotor will not fit

Re: Karizma/Karizma R Ownership Experience

Hello Sir...

afr screw of my old zma is deform its shape, do any 1 have any suggestion to replace that screw.

thanks

Re: Karizma/Karizma R Ownership Experience


Since this question has not been answered, I am just giving you a suggestion, to keep it as it is as you are not going to use it regularly, unless it is causing any performance issue.
I do not know how to replace it, but ASC is always there as a last option, at least screw will be replaced there.

Re: Karizma/Karizma R Ownership Experience

Missed this since the thread hasn't been too active of late. You can buy a new AFR screw set from a Hero parts store. It will come with the AFR screw, spring, metal washer and o-ring seal.

Re: Karizma/Karizma R Ownership Experience

This is my first post in this thread. I own a used HH Karizma 2012 model, acquired in the month of July 2015. The bike has clocked close to 32000kms till date. The bike was running completely fine. Recently the bike feels so sluggish in picking up speed. Earlier it used to clock speeds of 110 kmph (haven't tried above that yet) effortlessly. But now it takes a long time in hitting speeds close to even 90 kmph. The bike is regularly serviced at Hero authorized SVC. I had changed my spark plug to NGK G-power, which I had purchased from an authorized NGK distributor. No other changes done apart from the plug change. Bike is still running in stock. What could be the reason for this ? Is the spark plug change causing this? Pls help.

Re: Karizma/Karizma R Ownership Experience

If the pick-up is sluggish, it could be either a dirty carb or worn clutch plates.

Re: Karizma/Karizma R Ownership Experience

Thanks for the response.

Dust accumulation in Carb or something of that sort is what you mean ?

And about the clutch plates, do they get worn out around 32000 kms ?

What is the usual replacement interval of the clutch plates ?

Re: Karizma/Karizma R Ownership Experience

Back after a brief exile from the thread.

would like to share a small ownership experience



Havent ridden the zma for few months now, held up with a lot of commitments off late. But that would be compensated in the next few months

Re: Karizma/Karizma R Ownership Experience

Use a carb cleaner to clean the gunk from the carb that accumulates over time, can be due to bad fuel and other things. Ensure the slide is moving freely. You should refer (or read the entire) to this thread as all these topics have been covered earlier.

Clutch plates, like any mechanical component do not have a fixed life.. they can wear out at 20K or even 50-60K depending on usage etc. You would need to find out the issue with the bike. Again, reading this thread, at least from page 300 to 400 onwards will help your knowledge greatly and you'll be able to identify issues.


Super, Phanikar! Noticed the CEAT Zoom R. How's it holding up?

Re: Karizma/Karizma R Ownership Experience

Hi everyone. After a long time I am riding my ZMA again. I moved to Bangalore last year and bought a Honda Civic VMT here, and was using it for commutes as well as trips. My 2010 ZMA was kinda left back in some other city for more than an year and I just got it back from there.

Can anyone direct me to a good mechanic/shop where I can get my bike restored?

The fairing is broken from most places (visor gone, reflector burnt), I would like to get it replaced -- or change it with some circular dome (round headlights of some older bikes) or something I have seen on many ZMA's.

I might need to get the engine checked as well, timing chain and the cam tensioner, also there is some noticeable oil leak from the chamber. I am also planning to change the suspension rods if they are damaged or need to be changed. I am looking for decent brake pads as well.

I am willing to spend money on it, if I can ride it with peace for at least another 2-3 years of course with proper care and maintenance.

P.S.: Suggestions from Kerala or Chennai are also welcome, I can fix the basic problems and can ride till there to get it modded.

Re: Karizma/Karizma R Ownership Experience

Mr.Phaniker from Bangalore had done the Round Headlight conversion and he maintains his bike in top condition...he had done more than a Lakh Kms and his bike looks as though it is only a year old. ..So try to get in touch with him for advice and guidance.
Good Luck.

Re: Karizma/Karizma R Ownership Experience

More than money, you will have to spend some time on getting your beauty back in to shape. As PSR sir has posted above, get in touch with @phanikar anna.
If you stay near Bashyam Circle (Rajajinagar), then that would be a blessing in disguise.

For the plastic parts, if the connecting pieces are still available and just broken, you can use Araldite else you may have to get it welded. Fiber welding that is.
Reflector can be bought new (stock or round as per your wish). Keep in mind that round headlamps will have better throw but you'd need to devise a cover for the console since the stock windscreen would no longer fit.

For engine checkup, you can take your bike to Phanikar anna's mech. Get in touch with him.
All the best!
