    Provided you're fine with running a static map the following carbs are a direct fit for the ZMA.

    1. Pulsar 180 - The carb dia is a bit smaller hence you'll have to change insulator to a smaller size from another Honda and at the airbox side you need to use sealant. This setup offers the best FE though lacks grunt down low as reported by a fellow enthusiast, a tuner from Thrissur did mention upjetting it but the user is running on stock jets without any concerns.

    2. Pulsar 220 - This is the go to carb for the ZMA, the older variants came with Auto Choke but that has been removed in the latest iteration.

    3. Pulsar 200NS - This also works as shared by an enthusiast whose running on the setup, Auto Choke doesn't work.

    A walk-around for setting up the auto choke is by hooking it up to the starter wiring, so that it gets activated when you thumb the starter, though both users with P220 and 200NS carburetor did say that they've never felt the need for choke.

    The reason for the earlier seizure was due to the oil pump cup developing a crack which reduced oil pressure and resulted in the head running dry.

    The same also needs to be sourced.

    The dilemma we're in is whether to get the crank overhauled at the lathe or simply buy a new crank.

    As for the carburetor we plan on plonking the Bajaj P180 BS4's carburetor, also considering shoehorning its air box into the chassis but uncertain on how things would turn out.

    Do share your thoughts.

    Re: Karizma/Karizma R Ownership Experience

    Iam planning to fit an aftermarket exhaust on my zma. The stock one is too heavy and bulky.. Iam not planning to cut the bendpipe.. Rather planning to fabricate a new one. I.have seen the new duke 390 sidemount exhaust getting fixed on a karizma.. Its sounds better not that loud though. What would be the cost for bend pipe fabrication.. Has anyone done. It earlier.. And what is material used.
