@ Anmol :- Guess this would suffice the needs of an all DC in future with no alterations to the alternator right.

Hello Friends...

Karizma DIY servicing.

Hi guys, I am not getting time to take my bike to the servicing center, so decided to go the DIY route!!

These are the things I would want to do:
1. Change the engine oil(duh!!).
2. Clean the oil filter.
3. Clean / replace air filter
4. Clean / replace and adjust the spark plug
5. Clean and lubricate the chain-sprocket
6. And ofcourse, I shall get the water washing outside.
7. Get the wheel alignment checked and adjusted.
8. If possible I will get the bent wheels repaired!!
9. Planning to change the stock rear indicators to clear indicators that of Pulsar!!

Any other points I should look into?

The carb doesnt require any adjustment I guess, I am getting very good FE - around 42kmpl consistently.

I dont intend to do all the above is a single go for the lack of time. I would be doing one or two at a time.

Regarding points no.1 and 2, how to go about it??

Hi Rajasekar,
Here are my thoughts,
1. Engine oil change: If u have a right spanner of size, its damn easy. Just get under, find that nut and have a tray to collect the old oil. some people use petrol to flush the engine. Use it if u feel like otherwise, drain till ur heart's content and then fill in new oil after fixing the drain nut.
2. Oil filter: comes out with the drain nut. Easy to clean. Its of a mesh type, so u can probably soak it in some warm water and use a toothbrush to clean. If u have some petrol, u can use that also to clean.

Also,
try checking the nuts and bolts on the fibers,
lubricate levers,
tighten brakes,
scrub discs with Scotch Brite if u feel the discs are oily or dirty,
Clean the grime on the centre and side stand (if dirty)
Check fuses
Coat battery terminals with Vaseline


thats all I can think of bro

Not getting time???? Buddy, if ur interested, I can even schedule an appointment for ur bike next week... Also, the bike can be picked up and dropped at ur place.. Cuz that is how I got my bike done. I just drop it in his house, after a day or two depending upon the Q, i get my bike delivered to my home...

Karishma R 2011 sure looks good. I like the Metallic Grey color shade.

I agree with Suru. U live somewhere near Cheran Managar/Hopes area. Williams is our guy, His garage is less than 4km from where ur located. He will come and pick it up from you and deliver it at your doorstep.

Thanks for the fantastic inputs Ranjith.
Right spanner, now what is that?? Is it part of the tool kit??


Flush in the sense, after draining the oil, pour in some petrol so that any residual oil is washed off?? I think one liter petrol should be good enough!! Is it safe to flush the engine with petrol?? I suppose this has to be done with the engine off . Else I will be asking questions about DIY replacing the bore and piston.............. lol
Oh damn!! Yes tray!! I completely forgot about that. I shall buy a plastic one from the local plastic items store!!
BTW, how to dispose the used oil?? Also can this oil be used for anyother purpose?? May be like lubricating the chain or something like that!! Or may be as a fuel for some home made lamp!!!.... lol

One more thing, I am particular about HH Idemitsu oil!! i dont want to go to the HH guys if they have this oil!! BTW, is the Petronas Sprinta 5000 available in Coimbatore. If yes where can I buy it??



Tomorrow, I am moving into the place I have rented. Its located in Kovai Tirunagar(lane opposite to Skoda showroom on Avinashi Road near KMCH)



Ya man, I goto office(5km) at 8 in the morning. After going home in the evening, we are going out buy some stuff or the other!! Also I need the bike to go home for lunch in the afternoon!!
I think I have to try this route after I move to my new abode!!

yes it will be enough and will not require any mods.

hi guys

i am facing a weird issue with my zma

the clock and the tripmeter resets automatically after the bike is idle for 5-6 hrs.
i checked the battery and the water level is fine and all other lights and horns are also working fine

what can be the reason

hi guys,saw a new ZMA-R (black)..It was looking awesome!!

I give for service regularly, at the same time I do small maintenance myself. Been doing that since new. I never let service people change oil. So here couple of thing I can help. See below.

Yeeks! colour is quite painful anyway.....

Guys I am facing one strange issue since last few days - the trip meter and the clock gets reset when I start the bike. This happened 4,5 times during last 2 months

Get your battery and charging unit checked. In zma it happens if your battery is not properly holding charge.

Trip resets when excessive self is used or battery is showing its signs of age.
