    it got NGK iridium sparks, very much new clutch plates,new disk plates, but its battery is weak think it will get good once i recharge it in battery shop. tyres look good, no loose plastics, no scratches , need to check its performance and mileage. managed only till 80 in city , will try reaching 100+ shortly .

    i feel its front fork is slightly pulling me to right .. need to check it with mech.

    any other suggestions and recommendations are welcome i am very new to karizma , earlier had a p150. its a total diff experience with this machine need to get used to its handling and power range .

    why u start with kick? there is no need of doing so...... just open choke half way down ...open throttle slightly and press starter...engine should fire instantly.

    85480/- rs on road price at Rajkot - Gujarat.

    2000rs price hike plus 480rs of Helmet included [compulsory]

    Its stunning bike I can say. Very powerful. I had Splendour and just came to Karizma. You just dont know when you come to 40km 60km but splendour always struggling in 60Kmph!!

    Overall experience is great so far. I will receive complete kit tomorrow. Its really bad that they dont allow me to RTO stuff outside [my brother is RTO agent] damn!

    Can you guys suggest me beginner stuff for this bike?

    Like

    [1] Whats run-in period [will get manual tomorrow]
    [2] What speed I should keep while run-in period and further? and when I can throttle it fully!
    [3] Which petrol I should use. For now I used Shell normal petrol [heard its good]
    [4] When I should change oil first time!
    [5] Service timings idea?

    Edit: what accessories you recommend? A side bag and a hook is compulsory for me as day to day need to carry bags etc.. and small items
    1 - run in period is first 1000 km.

    2 - u should maintain speed of 60 km but also give occasional bursts of 80-100.

    3 - normal is fine

    4 - depends on each user.......change it at max 1000 km......recommended is 500 km.

    5 - every 2.5 k.

      U could try changing your spark plug to an NGK iridium one. They are suppose to help with the cold start issue, i havent tried it myself so cant say for sure.
      I bought the Ninja 250R !!.....And then i woke up :(

            • guys I have completed around 7000 km on my 11month old Karizma R . I was using Motul Mineral oil so far and I was satisfied with performance except the gear hardness. I heard Synthetic oil like Motul 300v improves the performance and also makes gear smoother. Should I got for the fully sythetic oil loike 300V ?

                when you switch from mineral to fully synthetic oil , make sure to do engine flushing.

                    i have read somewhere that when one shifts from mineral to fully synthetic, flushing helps to clear any residue of mineral oil.

                          that is fine buddy, I will flush the engine. I also read when you change the oil type, you should flush the engine to remove previous oil traces completely .

                          someone please enlighten me pros and cons of fully synthetic oil.Any Motul 300v user here ?

                            yes you can use motul synthetic oil. though i suggest if the bike is under warranty, stick to HH oil
