Update - 36850 km

Hi guys recently got my bike serviced at 36,850 km

Things that have been replaced..
1.Engine oil - Motul 300V fully synthetic - Rs-895
It,s a 10W40 rated oil but cant se JASO MA anywere in the list,any idea why??
2.Front Disc Pads - Rs 350
The bite is really gud from my previous pads and it give a lot more confidence as well.A gud and cheap alternative to the original one which i believe will cost you around 1200+rs
3.LED Parking Lights - Bought it just too improve the Looks and it does looks cool and was bored with those small bulbs. - Rs 220(Pair)
4.Air Filter Replaced - I am not too sure if it,s a original one but the packing does gives that kinda impression and i do trust my mech..
- Between Rs(350-450) Not too sure
5.Speedo Wire - Got it replaced since it was damaged.It was a stock one and got it replaced for the first time.Quite reliable parts though.

Overall the bikes performance has increased a lot,now it vibes less high speeds and it feels a lot smother and gear shift is butter smooth.Pick is also increased.
One of the main problems that i have been faving is the broken plastic panels at the back.(both the side and the tail light panel)Got a solution for that and trust me i think it will last longer than a ELFY or M-SEAL.will share the pics to clarify.

Any one else using the same engine oil???

can you tell the approx price of new clutch plates??
should i go with HH plates or do you recommend a particular brand

well my accl sticks a bit, i guess its either the sprig or may be the cable, anyway will change it

cost about 1300rs - for clutch plates stick to stock

for the cable if it is more than 15k old change it.

I replaced the entire clutch assembly recently. all put together, it costed me approx 2.4krs.

@steveburnside2001

did you get them from HH service center??

@onlinesatish

whats included in clutch assembly along with the plates as steveburnside2001
got the plates for 1300

yeah, this was done in June 2010

in how many km one should replace clutch plates?

Total clutch assembly includes Clutch plates, steel plates, and clutch bell. Clutch bell is quite pricey. Generally only clutch plates are replaced and sometimes steel plates. If you replace only clutch plates it would cost around 1300 bucks and along with steel plates it would be around 1600.

With normal riding clutch plates would last around 40k. Clutch plates may go for a toss if you do frequent stunting and drags. It all depends on the riding conditions. Excessive city riding would result in faster wearout of clutch plates.

@abhash

Clutch plates, pressure plates, clutch bell and some clutch centre component!


Guys, i fixed my RTR's battery (9amp, Amaron MF battery) in the zma as i could'nt find a 7amp nattery for it. No stock available anywhere. whats surpirising is that even with new battery(a month old) the console light still dims when ever i swtich on the idicators or when i engage the brake. Is this normal?

AFAIK, its normal because the same thing is happening to me also on my ZMA

this is not the case with my bike, it is running on 1-half year old srock battery.

Has Karizma R being discontinued>?

Though it is not possible but in new hero honda ad" DHAK DHAK GO INDIA GO" i can not notice zma-r. any idea?

Relax.. its not phased out...they still will give you even a achiever if you want and ZMA R is a successful product

From the past few days I am experiencing a weird problem.

When I turn on the bike the console sometimes does not work and it starts working after sometime.

And the tripmeter is getting rested every time.

I have a brand new Excide 9 amps batttery fitted and normal halogen lamp with dual bosch horns.
