First Service

Guys my (second-hand)karizma has completed over 900km since i got it.Being my first bike I dont have any idea what things to do while giving the bike for servicing.

Asked the SVC he told service charge would be 190 bucks and for oil change another 190 bucks.

1)Is it advisable to get oil from Service centre?If not which oil should i get and how much will it cost?

2)Tank is Half Full,I heard that these svc guys steal petrol from bike so one should give when bike is in reserve.Is it true?

3)What all things are done in servicing?

4)My bike's fuel gauge has gone kaput.It is showing empty although tank is half full.Will I have to change the console?

5)My Local mech is asking 150 bucks for servicing?Both the svc and local mech are opp each other?Whom should I give bike for servicing.

6)I was thinking of Fixing a HID kit with projectors and Angel Eyes on my bike,is it illegal in mumbai?

Kindly answer my queries as I need to give bike for servicing soon.

Hey,
Try to upload a pic where light is being thrown on empty stretch.
That gives clear idea of the throw & brightness.
Only thing I can make out from you pic is that the light is whitish.

Please post its price & dealer's name as well.
It would be of more help if you can post upper and deeper both pics on empty stretch.

Guys,
I needed a choke cable which has gone kaput.
But here in south bangalore, dealers don't have a stock.
They say it will take 15 more days.

Can't keep my bike idle for that long as I am planning for a long trip (~1100 Kms) in the last week of november.
Any other alternative you guys have in your mind?
Like some other bike's cable from a local mechanic?
My bike is 5 months old.

Give the bike to SVC. Be there with the bike so that you can have a look. they will change the engine oil in front of you.

Things normally done :

Oil change
air filter clean
Washing
WAxing
Brake fluids check and top up if needed
chain tightening

incase ur bike is run a lot, u can get it decarboned too. it could be a float related issue with respect to fuel gauge, jsut go to the service center

Go in for Philips HID ,

**worrisomebear** · 10-20-2010, 10:10 PM

For Dark nemesis :

how many kms in all has bike run?

At 10000 kms (and specially since u got the bike used i suggest)

Change Air filter
Change Rear shoe drum and check front disc pads
Change Spark Plug
Change Clutch and Acceletor cable
Change OIL, check battery

At 20000, change front fork oil

Yes

Other than hero honda oil you can try motul 300v and castrol power1 racing FS Oil, (go through engin oil thread)

Well this depends up on your service centre. If they are known to such kind of cheap act's then don't take chance's

Originally posted by d@rk nemesis View Post

3)What all things are done in servicing?

If you are intended to do a general servicing then
They will probably do washing chain lubricating and tighting, air filter cleaning carb tuning, break pad checking etc etc

worn out parts will be replaced with your permission

If you are facing some special issues with the bike , mention them with the superviser, he will note it down in the job card

Again this issue can be because of different reasons, make sure that the cuplar beneath the tank is properly connected. In worst case you may have to change the sensor

IMHO Service centre

No hid inside a projector is not illegal

**vineeth aredath** · 10-20-2010, 10:44 PM

You can ask him to put the oil in front of you. Using the standard Hero Honda Oil 190 bucks during the Run In

2)Tank is Half Full,I heard that these svc guys steal petrol from bike so one should give when bike is in reserve.Is it true?

Depends, they will need some petrol for cleaning the bike, Not much though. Remove the petrol if you are so much sceptical about it.

3)What all things are done in servicing?

For the 1st servicing, they will just clean the Air Filter, wash the bike, check all electricals, they dont clean the Carb in 1st servicing. Insist on doing that.

4)My bike's fuel gauge has gone kaput.It is showing empty although tank is half full.Will I have to change the console?

Arre electrnic fuel gauges have that issue, check with the SVC guys, get it changed under warranty.

5)My Local mech is asking 150 bucks for servicing?Both the svc and local mech are opp each other?Whom should I give bike for servicing.

MAKE SURE YOU GET ALL SERVICINGS DONE FROM THE SVC TO AVAIL WARRANTY.

6)I was thinking of Fixing a HID kit with projectors and Angel Eyes on my bike,is it illegal in mumbai?

That voids the warranty. There are different kinds of HIDs one or two are legal, rest are illegal. check out the HID thread for that.

Kindly answer my queries as I need to give bike for servicing soon.

My answers in bold

Got it for free.But I think a new one cost about 2300 with 1 year warranty.I fit it like any normal bulb except you need to find space to attach the relay.I fixed it inside the dome.

And its not Bi Xenon meaning low beam orange high beam White.Dont use the High beam unless on Highway.

**unbrokeble** · 10-21-2010, 06:33 AM

pulsar 220 have 55watt bulp n its really good
but save battery pulsar gives nice features like after three selfstart vehicle does not start for 10 sec.u cant keep headlamp on condition without vehicle start position

**d@rk nemesis** · 10-21-2010, 06:10 PM

Doesn't it causes glare to oncoming traffic as you are using it without projectors.Can you post pic of low beam and high beam on an empty stretch of road.
