    Overall the smoothness of the engine is not the same as the older Karizma with Stock , Older version of Piston and Cam.
    Good Luck.

        Owners have used Old CBZ silencers without the Catcon for improvement in acceleration . Beware it increases Exhaust emissions and with Govt making testing much more strict, passing the smog test may become a problem. For 4 wheelers the present testing is done on BS III Standards, and those failing will be de-registered .

            In this case the brake lever doesn't go back fully and hence the switch is activated.

Changing the master cylinder kit AFTER flushing and cleaning the old brake fluid is the only way out.
              I am assuming the brake light switch position is not altered and is in good condition.
              Sir, the lever doesn't go back fully. The switch is in good condition. Lubrication seems ok. The mech said he can repair it. Or is changing it better? The light being on doesn't affect the electricals much since I have an upgraded battery. But the ones behind me won't know when I apply brakes.

                I had faced similar problem with my Karizma and only after changing the MC kit I was able to see the brake lever go fully back . The "O" rings on the Master Cylinder Piston had swelled due to contamination of brake fluid....

                    I do remember you and your queries. Regarding the rear sprocket , the mounting holes have to match for fitment. The old Pulsar rear sprockets used to fit the Karizma ,if I remember right, old ones had 39 teeth to 42 teeth. There is a Forum specifically for sprocketing. called " World of Sprockets " which will help you decide.
                    Good Luck.

                        Hi,

                        Any good karizma mechanics or workshop in South Bangalore? I have a 2009 zma-r which was idle for a year. After returning to Bangalore I checked with a local mechanic since the battery was gone and there was knocking. He suggested me to sell but I don't want to since I have a lot of memories with the bike. I spent around 12k and the bike was rideable, but just after 3 months, now again the knocking sound and has some electrical issues. I am fed up and I learnt that sai motors is no better. Wanted to check whether I can get a reference? I used to go to Alva near jayadeva but don't think he is working there anymore. Wanted to check with you all if you have a connect who can source the spares.

                        Thanks,
                        Krishna

                                Hi..i was recently browsing karizma top speed videos on youtube and noticed earlier karizma 3,4,5 gearing were on shorter side .i was not able to make which yr is what but the older ones were topping @80-82 at redline in 3rd gear & 100-105 at 4th gear just start of redline and 125 comes again at redline in 5th gear ..in the recent karizma not the ebr ones 4th gear top out at 115 at red line and 127-128 come at around 7600 -7700 rpm and it tops out there and doesnot goes towards redline .so this means recent pre facelift karizma may be bs3 have over gearing compare to earlier ones and thats why their average was also great and acceleration was less ..have any one have any idea around it?
                                psr sir any idea around it?
