    • If you can't have anyone drive it, then in the very least at least start and run the bike for few mins say once every 5 - 6 days. But your battery will be a goner. You'd need to take the battery out and put it on a charger say once a month at least.

            If you cannot start and let the bike idle for a few minutes every few days, then:

            * Ensure bike is on the main stand.
            * Disconnect your battery wires.
            * Drain the carburetor bowl after turning the fuel to 'Off'.

                  I know how you feel dude...
                  how to charge the battery?...at home?a big NO...get it done from a nearby mechanic if he has the facility...

                  I found the second para a bit confusing...can you be more specific?...
                  It all begins with a thumb-start -- Oh, wait, I forgot the kill-switch

                      I didn't understand the 2nd part of what you said too well, either. I guess you are saying that you wont be able to start the bike either. I think that should be ok... if you take care of somethings-

                      Empty the carb as Nirvan said, emtpy the tank too. Tank is prone to rusting (depends on quality of the material inside). For this you could somehow spray some oil (preferably 2t) to coat the insides. You could also put in some 2t and then shake the tank (you would need to remove the tank from the chasis).

                      Reduce tyre pressure by about 40% or so. Keep bike on centre stand only. Just remember to rotate the front wheel once a week or so.

                      Battery can be charge at home, but AFAIK, you don't get stuff like battery tender, etc., in India. Unless you have such equipment, your only choice is to give it to some battery dealer for charging once a month at least. Just store the battery in some cool place... no need to put it in the bike. Never let anyone fill dist. water above MAX mark. Beware of battery dealers, as they have the incentive to sabotage your battery.

                      Coat parts prone to rusting with oil or spray or whatever.

                      I guess that should be enough.

                        NOS is really functional in karizma?

                          Thanks buddy can you tell me the exact size of sprocket i should go for???

                          somebody also suggest me for a bigger bore carb. but i think that will be quite costly...... is that really needed??

                            Dude, Should be hard time for you. Get well soon.
                            If you are not going to use the bike for long time. In addition to the above recommended points it is advisable to drain the engine oil.

                              • I am planning to change to Motul engine oil for my Zma.
                                Can you tell me the exact product code /name of the motul oil recommended for ZMa?
                                How much I have to buy ? (how many liters) What is the cost ?

                                Bike had completed 20 K on stock tyres .. so I am planning to change the tyres also .Do I need to change both tyres or only rear ? (both tyres never changed in the entire 20 k )
