Hi,

I have new one month old Karizma R

I got one big scratch and one small scratch which are really visible and I am really feel bad about this.

All these scratches are there because when I park bike somewhere .. some idiot come and park his Khatara gadi besides me and just park it ON my bike's tank.. his bike's handle did the scratch

how to avoid this.. does that polish.. which service center guys do on bike.. can reduce the chances of scratch?

how to remove such scratchs?

^^^

thats the problem with owning zmas
all these bastards cant stand a nice shining bike and some of them scratch the bike on purpose

i too have several scratches on my black zma

if the scratches on your bike are minor you can use this
eBay India: SIMONIZ FIX IT PRO CAR SCRATCH REPAIR as seen on TV (item 200557798060 end time 14-Jan-2011 18:09:55 IST)

it cured the minor scratches on my bike

**rakeshr** · 02-05-2011, 02:46 PM

but how to apply it.. when I applied.. it seems they are removed but next day when you see .. they are back again?!!!

Can you tell me the excat process?

**abhash** · 02-05-2011, 04:49 PM

nothing special about applying it, just follow the instructions on the back of the pack

p.s.
remember to apply it in a shaded area and just after that expose that area to direct sunlight for 1\2-1 hour so that it can set permanently

Guys i am having a strange prob [atleast to me]. My bike's RPM goes up when ever i press clutch and throttle to zero. RPM rises from the present level to 500-1000 rpm and then comes down slowly. Suppose i am in 4th gear @ 40 kmph when i try to change the gear @ 3K rpm [clutched pressed fully , throttle to zero ] it rises to 4K then comes down slowly to idle rpm , clutch is fuly engaged no throttle at all not even touched the gear lever this happens at all RPM levels .

This does not happen when bike is in neutral, in neutral when i rise the throttle and leave throttle it comes to idle rpm normally. Also when bike is in neutral rpm varies from 1250 to 2250 it fluctuates between this range. If its prob with carb then this[rising of RPM] should happen even when bike is in neutral. If i suspect the clutch cable then why is rpm fluctuating heavily

.

Also few days back i cleaned the air filter i saw oil inside air filter box , what does this mean by any chance can oil come from carb to this box.

Any body faced this issue earlier, to me is seems a combo of clutch and unclean carb. Gurus please help me on this.

got the cause of the prob, its carb . when i replace my current carb with another zmaR's carb it was all fine. Need to get whats wrong with carb meanwhile i did my little investigation

found that when i close the fuel screw with my thumb i can feel the pressure of air its pulling thumb skin inside it.Is it normal or something wrong here? why is air going inside carb from this screw? Also when i cover the fuel screw with my thumb i can feel the screw moving because of pressure it makes a small sound like "tik" when it makes this sound RPM comes down this happens just for a second and happens mutliple times . when i cover the screw with thumb RPM raises to some extent. Help me

None of the adjustment screws,..esp., the AFR screw should leak carb vacuum like you have described.This indicates that the threads on the carb is worn out and is leaking vacuum resulting in varying RPM.You can try putting Teflon Tape available from Hardware shops,on the AFR screw and fitting it on the carb.If it becomes tight do not tighten the screw as it will break the carb body.Use less tape to get finger tightening feel...
But the best solution would be to change with a New Carburetor.

@psr
thanks man for the info will try tape method and post my observation here

,option of buying a new carb is a bit bad news to me

**anmol_1990** · 02-06-2011, 02:06 PM

i serviced my zma 15 days back and has done 350 KM since then.

i checked the engine oil level when engine was cold i.e idle for 3-4 days(the bike was on side stand), the level was just near the low level of dip stick.

and today i starterd the bike and idle it for 5 minutes then checked the oil level, then it was just above the low point(the level has increased a bit)

Tomorrow when i will ride the bike to office (40 KM) then i will check what's the level.

In the meantime can anyone tell me is it normal or the SVC guys again have filled less oil?

That's a clear case of air leak!

Can you tell me how much a brand new carb cost you?

**pabi** · 02-06-2011, 10:44 PM

@suhasn46
new is around ~2.5K as said by HH guys.
@psr
Problem is solved by using tape around the thread of screw , but engine stalls when no throttle is given have maintain it around 2K rpm to keep it running. May be its running rich?

I dont know what the problem was. Was the carb re-threaded in a lathe? Why are you using a tape around the air screw?

And abt the engine stalling, I think you need to get the ignition timing and spark plug gap checked.

If buying a new carb is inevitable, just check out how are performance carbs are priced in case modding your bike in future is on cards!!!

You have to re-tune the carb.With air leak stopped all your present setup is no longer valid...But think about a New Carburetor as it will give you peace of mind and you can enjoy riding,rather than being scared when it will misbehave.
