    ^^ What is there to check man?! Decrease some loads.
    But there are ZMA's taking up this load so i don't see that the load would be a problem.

    • ^^ In light of the posts by others, first see that battery water level is proper. Secondly go for relays.
      Your biking tells a lot about the person you are!

        As for pouring in 350 mls each in both forks, I seriously doubt because as per the company manual, its should be aprox. 145 ml for each fork.

        if the front Suspension is feeling stiff, please get it checked, its quite possible that he might have over filled the shocks which are not giving the proper cushioning effect. go to a shocker wala, tell him everything and am sure he will be able to sort it out for you. The problem at times is too less or too much oil...You fill in too less of it, they would be over soft, as if working without pressure, a bit too more of oil will make you feel as if you are riding a shocker less Bike.

        All the best!
        Thanks mate, also to clarify he actually poured only one 350 ml bottle halh equally in both the forks..so its 175 ml each...is that more as per the manual..I will get it reduced to 145-150 ml then...

            • Changed my Rear tyre to M 45

              i have changed my Rear tyre to M45 michelin .As many told it is NOT touching the chaingurad . i am happy . Thanks for all for the suggestion .
              I will share the experiance with it after riding it for 1 week . iwill try it on all kind of surfaces and share my experaince including the effect on mileage and top speed if any ..


              Now i have a simple question .. It may sound noobish but i just want to know .

              If we are riding above 100 km/hour and sudenly got a puncture will the bike loose control instantaneosly leading to crash?

              Or will i get the time to stop the bike before it looses the control?

              The reason why i am asking is Last week i went to change my Tyre to
              M 45 Michelin , the tyre guy removed the tube and i was shocked to see that already two punctures (i was unaware of this as i am the second owner) . I had done 100+ for hours on many trip and i was imagining what happened if i got one more puncture when i was doing 100+

              please share your knowledge ..

                Brother , you have done best thing by putting M45, change the tube immediately. If you might have noticed the m45 is so much lighter than zapper too.

                  • Guys I am planning to change from P200 to ZMA. I know it might sound funny but only reason I was considering ZMR over ZMA is the rear disc. I am not interested in FI, fairing etc. So I wanted feedback on rear braking capabilities of ZMA. Riding will be 90% city riding.
                    I am asking this bcoz after using P200 i have lost trust in drum brake. They tend to loose the bite after few months.

                    • ZMA has got awesome rear brakes .. You may feel the front ones are a bit spongy, compared to P200 though..

                        the rear brake on my ZMA was weak from the day 1.now its almost non existent.i have gotten used to the relaxed front brake.go for the zmr u'll have an advantage in emegency braking situations

                          Hello you can get ZMA fitted with rear disk Brakes if you dislike the rear drum break of ZMA

                            The bike loses control only if the tyre gets burst and the air go in a blink of time. It will not happen and do not worry. If it is punctured it will loose air slowly and you will have time to control the bike.

                              May be the break was not adjusted properly.. u can easily fix/adjust it yourself and it works really well. If its non existent then just check the break bad level if its completelly worn out.


                              Better to stay with drum for rear breaks , disc will cost a bomb

                              • Thanks guys for your advise.

                                @rockyy: Even i have same problem with my P200. Have changed almost everything on my rear drum but fu*#k it just doesn't work.

                                @dreamz_mak: That was a good suggestion. Could you throw little more light on the same. What is the cost involved, any mod required and is this standard of the shelf fitment.
