      I havent changed it but apart from the brake kit, you are required to change the wheel!!

      • That can be done not an issue.What tyre size would you suggest???? Whats the make of the disc brake caliper and other accessories ??? Is it the same one that comes with the ZMR or any other one?

          even i have'nt tried but have plans in long term. When enquired, got to know that i have to change rear alloy wheel, R rearsets, break pedal etc. Zmr's rear break assay can be fitted easily with above mentioned changes. Total mods may cost around 10k.

              iirc yes, i enquired in both bangy and kerala(svc). Its a great move mate zma badly need a rear disc. I think you can go for zmr's, rear wheel and full disc assay. I think it can be fixed by swapping parts but am not sure. If the rearset need to be replaced then again you may have to opt for zmr's one but zmr got different exhaust so i doubt the proportion of mounting points. There can be lil changes. Am not an expert but just shared my thoughts.

                          Yes but that will involve changing of rear wheel also, it will be a little costly job.

                              Sweet looking ride! There is something magical about a Karzima in white, be it the ZMR or the ZMA. Congrats Sumanth Holla

                              • Hello all.
                                I purchased my red new Karizma on 10th of Feb (sorry for late posting), by selling my HH Hunk, which I purchased on 13th Dec 2009 and clocked 18,950 on the odo.
                                The Karizma done only 429 on the speedo till now. Since I have decided to use this bike for touring purpose only, my only concern is the crash guard or, leg guard. I want to remove the engine guard and install a crash guard. Can you guys advice me, which crash guard would be a direct fit for my Karizma?

                                Thanks in advance.
                                Move on.........
