I have one question, may sound silly though

Is it possible to obtain the rear disk setup of ZMR? I mean if we swap the rear tyre of ZMA-R with ZMR tyre?

guys i have done my 1st servicing 2 days ago.Now engine have become more smoother. Gear had already became little smoother after 200 km (I had changed oil around 150 km ) but now here is no further improvement in gear shift before and after servicing , they still feel hard and makes click noise.

Waiting for run in period to get over so that i can rip my zma to its potential

Hi,

My ZMA-R has done 800+ km and first service done. Gears are more smoother now and engine heating problem is also reduced. But I'm still facing staring issue. Using Choke in the morning, she starts immediately, but in evening after my office hrs, it refuses to start..even after using choke and kick starter

Yesterday she took almost 5-7 minutes

Any suggestions/solutions for this?
Thanks in advance.

Open fuel cap and close, then try starting. Works like a charm

^^ And before you try what Kaynmantis has suggested, try this... turn off the ignition key and turn it on again. Press the self-starter button. It might sound strange, but works. If it doesn't, try the fuel lid trick.

@smashing: Please update whether the tips worked. This way it can help all who may be facing similar problems.

Castrol Bike zones are all closed down now. It seems Castrol has cancelled all the franchisees because of very poor service. Thats the case in Bangalore. not sure about the other cities.

They have it for every other bike, but not for ZMA. Is this a common problem? Where can I find it in Pune?

Your help will be truly appreciated.

Thanks for reading,
Abhi.

Just a summary of things which were not done properly:
1) The front Disc brake set up was not done properly, hence the screws were loose(to the extent that they cud be opened with bare hands).

2) Some screw which connects the forks to the handle bar was also loose(to the extent that they cud be opened with bare hands).

I was lucky enough to diagonise the defects soon enough, other wise it wud have been serious..
