    As I've already said, the neutral switch is a ground switch.

    If your light is blinking all the time then you need to check and see if there is any shorting causing ground, if not then change the clutch switch.

    I would suggest you take the front sprocket cover off and start inspecting, this is an open and shut case.

    Here's the neutral wire and switch;



    Its a spring loaded clip, when disconnected the neutral light shouldn't light up, reconnect properly ensuring that there is no other ground and if the issue persists get the switch replaced.

    Thanks in advance.

    Also brake light doesnt glows when i press the gear lever.
    You mean the brake lever? It's probably loose because of which it remains below it's original position. Also, try lubricating the paddle and see if it is still stuck. I use old engine oil as lube for brakes. If there's still trouble with braking, I would suggesting getting the brake pads checked. The screeching sound is probably due to lack of free movement and lubrication or dust accumulation. Try doing the above and see if it works out.

    This is normal phenomena for Carburated Karizma. By Default the AFR tuning is lean from factory for all ZMA since 2011.
    There will be always issue in cold start; most of the time choke has be activated. Initial 1-1.5 km will give you jerky ride as if your fuel got into reserve.
    Never rave during this initial ride and let the engine get up to its optimum operational temperature .

    Else you just tune your AFR to more rich side.

    Hello,

    I just bought a 2017 Karizma R from a friend. Bike had done just 888kms and I got a too sweet a deal to pass it.

    I understand the bike has not been running for a while.

    So now when I start the bike, it takes a while to start while kicking it. Using choke does start it, but still needs a few kicks.

    Then after at low rpm it seems the bike is struggling for fuel, but my 4 wheeler habit is to keep the tank full.
    It jerks till say 3k rpm and then revs clean. But I know the bike is still not run in, so don't want to rev it much.

    A couple of biker friends suggested carb and valves as potential issues considering the bike was just standing for a few months.

    Any suggestions what could be the issue?
    I face the same thing every morning.. even after having run it for 30K kms.

    Coming from an Activa which just starts at the first touch and runs so smooth even early morning, I believed the bike had issues from day 1.

    Did the usual carb cleaning, reporting to ASC, change of oil to Shell FS.. no change.

    Now I have just accepted that it's the 'character'of the bike.

    Every morning I pull the choke.. start the bike.. leave it for about a minute.. then throttle it to 7-8K once.. then start riding. And even then it sputters and threatens to switch off, but thankfully does not on most days.

    Only after riding for more than a kilometer, the bike show some semblance of being agreeable with being ridden.

    So from my experience.. acceptance is the key to ur happiness!

    P.S: I would looovvvee to be proven otherwise.

    Ok. I get it. Does anyone have a soft copy of the owners manual of this new model Karizma R?

    Apologies for noob questions, as frankly I'm new to owning one. And haven't dwelved in motorcycles for atleast 7 years. Infact I wasn't sure bikes has an oil filter.

    Actually I am planning to change with a basic mineral oil, run it for 2-300 kms and then replace with Motul's best oil or something. Sort of like running it in again and flushing the engine with the basic oil.

    Change all consumables, I know the motorcycle is new, but change them just for the heck of it.
