    I Agree....the speedo sensor of Zma is not very accurate...but it does not give a huge difference like 10 odd km in top end as on my bike i never saw it going more then 140km/h which indeed is correct i believe rest will carry GPS

      Completely normal bro ...and please don't even try to fix AFR on the right side of tank as this will ensure trouble cold start

        It's completely normal. I have the same experience with my P220F. The idle RPM is 1 when I start the bike but after it runs for 70-80 kms and the engine becomes hot, the RPM goes to 1.8-2.0..so nothing to worry about

        • @kunal_zma Adjust the idle screw to 1.4 when the engine is hot. Also avoid posting in bold letters and using smileys after every sentence.

            • Hi Everyone,

              Recently purchased a ZMA (Black + Red Wheels). Am pretty happy with most aspects of the bike. Just a couple of questions:
              - Will sticking to Shell petrol (the normal one, not the 'premium'/whatever) be of any benefit to the bike?
              - I am looking to upgrade the headlamp on the bike, where can I get this done in Hyderabad? (Tried looking for this on the thread but couldn't find the exact answer to this question anywhere).

              Thanks guys.

                congrats on you new ride! You will enjoy the bliss of pure biking i'm confident!

                The normal Unleaded petrol is good enough. Try BP/HP/IOC... Shell even the normal one is expensive. No need to use the high octane gas. Just keep stuck with one bunk.

                Changing the headlights mean void warranty on electricals. So think before you act! Osram Nightbreaker is the best bet for healamps..its expensive but worth every penny spent... This will have effect on your battery life as well, you may consider installing BOSCH relay for better results! another choice is Philips- i dont remember the name but its cheap.

                I will be upgrading my battery to 9amp (AMARON -5yrs warranty) and a nighghtbreaker next week. Will update you soon!

                    • Engine Oil for ZMA.

                      Guys..please suggest options in synthetic, semi synthetic and mineral oil for ZMA.

                      I know Castrol Power 1 Racing is good but any other options would also help..

                        I think u need to adjust the chain slack. The procedure is explained in the user manual.
