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.

The CBZ Xtreme crash guard will fit..

Please go to page 202 post 2019 of this thread..there you can see for yourself.

Re: Karizma/Karizma R

Today morning when I went for a ridE on my bike, it went to reverse from main and it won't start.I changed the fuel cock to reserve position and tried starting the bike but it won't start.After sometimes petrol started leaking from the outlet like thing which is directly below air fuel mix screw on the carb.I immediately locked the fuel cock and waited for few minutes before trying again.After 10 minutes when I tried again, leaking stopped and bike started.

What caused this problem and can a bike catch fire if one tries to start the bike when petrol is dropped on the engine.

The Float in your Carburetor got stuck,and excess petrol had gone in to the engine. This makes the AFR very rich and so the bike didn't start.You should get your Carb cleaned if the problem repeats. Otherwise ignore it.Hope you don't park bike with more than 15 days, with old petrol..because old petrol beyond 30 days deteriorates and becomes sticky like gum.

8 months are you serious..?? the changes were not even an evolution to the previous gen to command that.

Fitting a Round Head lamp With the meter console

Hey guys,
my Zma is at the workshop, in the process of being revived...
Yes, its a 2004 model Zma.

work that need to be done are:

Cosmetic:
Repainting the Tank
Changing the Fiber parts
Stickering

Main:
Changing clutch plates
replacing timing kit
grinding the valves
head cleaning
re-wiring
new battery

Now, i do not want to spend big bucks on purchasing the front fairing,
i know its gonna break loose after an year or so.

i dont mind a naked bike, i like em..

i want to switch to a round headlamp, or may be 2 round headlamps(smaller size).
i like the RE thunderbird console
is there any way i can fit it in,
or have some1 here already done some kinda work in this dept.

Lemmi know how are the connections gonna be...

I have a HID kit, which i would be installing later. after purchasing a 9Ah battery.

i need some practical suggestions quick..

As for the 9 A battery u can go for the Bullet one's Exide preferred
The 2 round headlights is a great concept, something like wat triumph bikes come with. . Its easy to do, just procure good quality headlamps, the console will have alot of wiring changes and i think the entire process will be very cumbersome. . .

All the best with your mod. . .

Go for Amron Probiker 9AH battery. maintenance free Rs. 1.5k/- for 48 months warranty
currently the best battery available

Engine work is almost done..

Had a hard time locating a dealer who has the Zma wiring in stock.. Finally found 1 in indore.

Started hunting for a round head lamp..
Found a BIG 1 by "FIEM" for 900 bucks, did not purchase it though.. could not find a pair, also , i found a local made Honda VTX head lamp, which looked pretty decent... the store keeper insisted me on purchasing that 1..

anyways, m confused.
if i go for the round head lamp, it would almost spoil the look..

if i keep the stock head lamp it would have reliability issues.. it might not take heavy jerks..

^^
My bike's meter console and fairing was stolen a few months ago..Insurance would not reimburse me anything. So, I thought, screw it! let's go for a fighter look. I purchased the CD dawn headlight stays, the headlight and Splendor indicators. The only problem I faced was when I had to open the steering stem nut.

**pronoy_banerjee** · 03-01-2011, 10:41 PM

I would've got my bike totally done today, but 1 out of the 4 engine Stud broke off and sprang out by itself... just as the engine was gonna be mounted again..

I removed the cover of the meter console.. it looks rugged..
Keeping the Stock Headlight

Clutch plates are changed...
Wiring is done..

The only problem that remains is the HID ballast unit...

im not sure as to where to put it in... coz, it used to be completely hidden previously with the fairing..
Any ideas??

**adarshkr** · 03-02-2011, 02:41 PM

what mileage can i expect from Kazizma R, if i ride at speed of 55-60 kmph constantly in city conditions(less traffic,not crowded)...planning to buy..
