Re: Karizma/Karizma R Ownership Experience
Forgot to mention that after the engine is warm, the jerkiness goes away.

Re: Karizma/Karizma R Ownership Experience
check fuel lines & carburetor , change engine oil , is engine getting too hot ?Originally posted by falkirk223 View PostHello,
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?
we have our dedicated whatsapp group too

Re: Karizma/Karizma R Ownership Experience
This is a great question Raj. It has been one year since I made the switch to Tubeless.Originally posted by Rajarshi View Post
I have tried the combination plus-minus 3 & 5 PSI of company recommended 25 and 33. Haven't found much of a difference.
Now I retain F25 and R33. I read somewhere that the tyres have a operating range of +/- 5 PSI.
So your F30 and R40 should be ok. It all comes down to you preference.
I feel F30 and R40 makes the bike jump and hop on the potholes.Leave a comment:

Re: Karizma/Karizma R Ownership Experience
I replaced my stock tyres to Tubeless Michellin City Pro 2.75 x18 front and 110 x 90 x 18 Michellin Sirac Tubless Rear just a month back.Originally posted by akheeldelvi View Post
I have done it from a popular Tyre Dealers in Bangalore named Tyre park. They have all essential tools & machinery to remove & fit tyres to rims.
I had to change the Airvalve to make it compatible to Tubeless tyres as previously i had Tube Type Stock .
Total Costed me Rs.4600 /- including valve /labor charges.
The tyres feedback is tood good . Dry & wet grips are both a lot better than stock. In terms of cornering ; i felt it is way better than stock .
Only the cons i see is .. a thread thin contact is happening with swingarm for rear tyre. ( negligible and can be ignored.)
Now i have moved to different level of PSI Front : 30 ; Rear :40 (Previouly it was F:25 ; R:33)
Anybody suggest ; what should be the PSI with Tubeless tyres for ZMA.Leave a comment:

Re: Karizma/Karizma R Ownership Experience
Price at mrf outlets are usually higher than listed in site in kerala. Don't know about other places. Messeter has very good reviews. I'm using zapper kurve f 90 section tubeless tyre in front and it has excellent grip.Originally posted by rushikesh.ware View PostI checked their price on line.
The front costs 1400/- something.
The rear is
2100/- something.
Karizma shares the same size as New HunkLeave a comment:

Re: Karizma/Karizma R Ownership Experience
If you are going for Messeters, then get them fixed from a MRF Authorised outlet which has tyre removal machines.Originally posted by akheeldelvi View Post
1. The rim should not have any bends, else the tubeless tyre walls will not have a air tight bond with the rim.
2. Tubeless tyres have a bigger valves(in diameter). So the existing vavle holes on the rim need to be filled (with care) so that it accomadate the bigger vavle.Leave a comment:

Re: Karizma/Karizma R Ownership Experience
Thanks Rushikesh. Will check them out.
Can you elaborate on the modification that you had to do? Will the local guys be able to do it? Will the tyre shop folks be able to do it?Leave a comment:

Hi Akheel,Originally posted by akheeldelvi View Post
I know what you mean. I am not a corner jumkie but grip ( even in rain) is important to me. Plus I wanted make a switch to Tubeless for the convenience of removing the punctures.
With minor modification to the rims, I switched to MRF Messeters and it has been 10k km since then. Absolutely happy with it.Leave a comment:

Re: Karizma/Karizma R Ownership Experience
Hello Guys,
I have a 2011 Karizma ZMA and want to change my tyres since I again had the fishtailing experience recently even when I was riding quite slow and braked.. at just about 20-25 kmph in the rain.
I am running stock tyres and want to improve the wet-tarmac riding conditions, and preferably improve some cornering confidence too. Current ODO is about 30K kms.
Please advise.
Thanks,
Akheel Delvi
P.S: I posted my query on the tyre-upgrade thread for the Karizma too. But I find this thread more active, hence re-posting here. Please excuse if you think I shouldn't have done that.Leave a comment:

The ngk plug code for karizma is dpr8ea-9Originally posted by Chetan Kumar Gowda View Post
If you are planning to use g power from ngk, it'll be dpr8egp-9. I'll highly recommend to use ngk g power for karizma. Engine will be smoother and a bit more mileage. Buy ngk dpr8egp-9. Available at flybhp.com for 194rs.Leave a comment:
