    • I have plonked in a 55/60w Philips extreme in my headlamp & been using it from couple of days. Recently I have noticed in the reflector above the bulb, the lines have faded. Its a small portion that has faded off.

      Is this normal ? OR Should I switch back to 35/35w stock bulb. Though I like the output & beam throw of the 55/60w

                • I never get above 30 in city riding,average speed around 70 usually.In highway I easily get 43.

                  What is the cost of the turn indicator of the karizma and switch assembly of the right side.

                      Bro it depends on which gear u ride...at 5th it will surely cross 40km/l
                      however if its 3-4 gear then it will drop down anywhere from 30-35

                        you need to check & change the bearing located at the base of the cone set. it may have gone kaput,
                        OR
                        The front wheel bearing (there are 2 of them would cost anywhere from 120~150)

                        Had the Same issue with my bike, i had to change both the bearing sets.

                        the quicker you get it done, the better, coz the front tire starts to wear-out unevenly..
                        i had a dunlop soft compound, a patch wore out in a matter of 20-25 days. :P

                                No my dear friend, choke IS supposed to be engaged at the time when the engine is cold....

                                get best results in the morning:
                                fire up the engine with the choke and let it idle for around 30 seconds.
                                close the choke and ride away..
