        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

          Thats what I was thinking.Genuine philips hid costs over 6k.But as long as we are getting warranty on it,then there is no problem.

            Are u sure the one you got is the tyre made for the rear and not front becoz as i see it 110/80-18 is front tyre spec from pirelli website whereas the rear is of 110/90-18 spec ... Only difference is the thread pattern... But normally not recommended to put a front tyre to rear... Worth going for a wrong type if it fits right????

                I am trying to find white rear glass piece of the rear sidelights but i cant seem to find any. i have decided i dont want to change the sidelights to any other bike's but i want to keep it as original as possible, make it look like the bike came DIRECTLY from the showroom like that....Hopefully you understand what i mean... .Any tips would b helpful.....................................
                I think you should get the tail lamp and the side indicator smoked,like the ones below.This way it would match to the bike(black) and look neat also...

                  The pattern is similar to the one on the rear but why havent they mentioned that spec in the rear-tire section in the website.. Did pirelli come up with something for Indian market in particular ?

                  But Pirelli does looks good and hope performs well too ... I have personally felt the front tire on the ZMA is horrible in wet weather and rear over loose gravel ... Which is your front tire? As i see there is no tire from Pirelli which suits the 2.75-18 spec ....

                    No idea sir.I think it is 110/90 only... Will check and see.Yeah front tyre has abso lutely no grip compared to rear.But sadly Pirelli doesnt have that size.I have the stock Zapper tyre.

                      If its 110/90-18 then great or else nothing much can be done.... Is it tubeless or tubed ? If tubeless any modification done to existing alloys ?

                          I had the option of going tubeless but decided not to considering they dont repair them everywhere.I dont think any modification has to be done to wheel.

                                2500 is the cost of karizma's rectifier and a Fiero RR unit (modded for higher power) can also b used and cost 1000-1300.

                                Loose Tappet setting ensures some noise after a ride and that Tuk-Tuk sound could be very irritating at times just like loose chain set.. which is gone after 2kms of riding as the engine is cold and when you put load on it hesitates.
