  • Reading engine and chassis number

    Does anybody know how to read the engine or chassis number for Karizma. I have been searching xbhp but in vain.
    Was curious to know how to decipher it.

    Comment


    • check out the manual... It clearly states how to decipher you chassis and engine number at the very beginning ... Are you looking for something much more in detail

      • Cheated by dealer

        Sorry, should have checked the manual before posting.

        I wanted to check the chassis number to see the month and year of manufacturing. The dealer Sai Motors, Bangalore promised to give me the bike manufactured in August'2010 and showed me the new bike also, having the manufacturing month as August'2010.

        I believed him and didn't checked the manufacturing date while taking delivery (great mistake).
        I checked(I know its too late) the chassis number now and see the manufacturing month as June'2010. (A- 2010, F - June).

        Lessons learned- Treat the dealer like a Flea market and check everything yourselves.

          Though manufacturing date is June 10, your warranty shall start from the day of purchase only. So that's a good thing.
          But still, he cheated, n that's really bad.
          You had a word with them about it?

                House driveway is about 150 ft so it can give you an idea of the power the high beam.

                  They look nice (& wider than 100/90 profile).
                  But INR 3200 is a bit costly affair.
                  Is it soft compound & tube-less?

                  Thanks a lot.
                  Your low beam can easily outshine my high beam.
                  I think you better fit projector, I feel pity for vehicles coming from opposite direction. :P

                      • My Karizma R(Rocket)

                        Hi all, this is Vineeth, one among you "Bikers". Few days back my steed Karizma "R" had undergone some performance modifications; in other words is the reason why I am here with this thread.
                        Years back, I was a happy rider. My zma surrendered to all my pranks the machine was doing justice in every corner but when days passed by, I was kind of losing interest in my bike I was bored with the whole setup .As I had no option, I continued using it even though I was not so happy with it.
                        After my graduation I left to my native (Kerala) and was seriously thinking about performance modifications, met a lot of mechanics But nothing happened. My place wasn't good enough for these things. It was just a hood which was only meant for old s****y politics (just my opinion, no offense). Same time I got to know about xbhp which helped me to vast my knowledge about upgrading my vehicle and I continued researching on unleashed performance.
                        Here I learned a lot about bikers rather than just bikes; i never had a thought of having a customized look on my vehicle. Bike was pretty neat when it comes to look and all my focus was on Performance. I came across many hard core bikers in xbhp and later, I got to know about a magician called "Joel Joseph" And trust me, I never dreamt in my life that I would come across with someone who made the fastest Karizma,RTR,R15...... something made me to have a check on and it was a dream come true day when i knew that it was something real more than of words
                        All these brought me back to the place where I was once. The trip "Back to Bangalore" blessed me with my first employment in hand; soon I started saving.those days were harder But I knew that some other day these tough times will return me something favorable.
                        Same time I met Joel and we fixed this small project. My parents were not against these mods, but they were totally disappointed with my decision of investing my first month salary in to this. They were like spend it for charity, temple etc. Same time Joel was busy with his racing days thus the project got postpone to next month.
                        At last everything became crystal clear and the project started. I had to say "Sayonara" to my stock vehicle being left in Joel's garage .Those were the first days in my life when I really missed my bike. it was my weakness. I was a kind of a person who never used to leave my vehicle with anyone. But you know, sometimes we got no options in life. Just like you all, I had a strong emotional attachment with my steed. I am not a kind of person who always wanted to ride the bike, but it was so lucky for me, so I never used to travel without my bike, Like I said, those three days in hell....But I was peaceful too, on the other hand my vehicle was with someone whom I could really trust.
                        After a heavy push'n'pull, it was the "THE DAY" when the project was completed. Me and my friend headed to his garage, reached there and I did a test ride, omg!!! Here am running out of words. am realizing the fact that all the feelings cannot be expressed by words...
                        Next day before the sunrise packed my backpack and left to my native. Fueled the bike and said "Sayonara" to Bangalore, but guys that was the worst journey I ever had. Let me explain, as prescribed by the Doctor, I was forced to ride under strict running-in, once I entered Bangalore-Mysore stretch my mind started fluctuating, my torque monster was giving me a loud and i wanted to rip badly. I was loosing my patience but somehow I controlled my urge and continued to ride. am not that expert to explain about the performance but i can say that if someone beat me with a p220, that's truly because of his abilities. After reaching my native I had my first oil change and ever since Nirvaaanaaaa.

                        A Small Story
                        met a guy in HH SVC with a zma so called Modified, his steed was euipped with a loat of perFUMance gooddies including NGK plug, Flat rear tyre, FFE, K&n, Clipon's Step seats etc and He was proudly Explaining about is bikes Prefomance, we had small talk and He was very happy to engage in a Drag with me. Thus we left to an emty stretch and then guss what..... he was like compleatly and without a single word he left the scene.
                        Yes now i know my bikes potential and i don't wanna spoil myself and my wondwefull machiene by engaging Dangerous street racing. as this is just an entry leavel perfomance modes there is a lot of things comming up so guys watch out!!

                        WHAT MODIFICATION
                        Actually am not the right person to speak about the modifications but I can say that my bike is equipped with Joel's custom 240 cc setup

                        Some figures
                        Cubic Capacity. : 240cc
                        Bhp. : am leaving this part to Joel
                        Fuel efficiency. : worst 38 and a best 47km/litter of unleaded fuel
                        (bike returned this figure with a rider weighing 75 kg
                        + full saddle of 30 kg approx)
                        Top speed . : not yet tested but i can cross 130 very easly( my sprocket and rear tyre need a replace soon as they are compleatly worn out)

                        Thanks a lot xbhp, without which all these wouldn't have happened and my special thanks to 'Te-Am BhPi' for rejecting my registration attempt without which I wouldn't have reached this bikers heaven
                        @Joel- Million thanks to you brother and my hearty congratulation for your great success. I strongly believe that whatever happened till date is just a beginning and the storm is on its way....
                        cheers

                          Thanks a lot.
                          Your low beam can easily outshine my high beam.
                          I think you better fit projector, I feel pity for vehicles coming from opposite direction. :P

                          Im not sure about compound but it has awesome grip.It does wear out faster than many regular tyres.And the tyre size is 110/80 18.

                          And about the projector thing I make sure I use high beam only on highways and if its really necessary so no problem.

                                I dont think the Hid you have is genuine philips . philips H4 Hid for car sells for Rs 7800 + and they dont sell those hids that have one halogen and 1 Hid stuck together . they only sell the bi xenon Conversion kit where bulb looks similar to this
