      Thanks bro

        ne ways guys im having few questions on my mind

        1. should i change the plug its 15k done and a gold brown type of color was there

        i cant afford a ngk irridium plug.....so how abt stock again???


        2 . i will take the insurance at the end of the year , im having 2007 red r , so 2007 red r model parts would be available or i would be handed over the 2011 red r model parts???

        3.how much time will my stock battrey last...its 1.5years old and 4 times charged

        4 . chain and sprocet how much they will last ....how to maintain them
        1. Still using the original stock plugs. Changing with stock is good idea.
        2. No comment
        3. In 2 years, no charging. Still very good. You need to do some maintenance on your part like checking for water level. These are small things and can be done easily. I check and refill distilled water myself. Such small task can make a big difference.
        4. Mine is still very good @21k, I clean/oil them regularly.

          yes you should change, try iridium this time

          HH spare parts are very hard to be found for karizma.

          3.how much time will my stock battrey last...its 1.5years old and 4 times charged

          it can last from 2-3 years depending on usage.


          4 . chain and sprocet how much they will last ....how to maintain them

          Just do regular service, that should be enough.

            a more suitable glue would be the solvent cement which plumbers use for gluing pvc.be adviced that it can strip of the paint.this glue is highly effective for cracks.

                • Fell from my bike today

                  Had a nasty fall from my bike A small kid ran rite across the street, to avoid him i applied disc brakes, the front tire skid and i fell to the RHS.
                  Have got some bad bruises on my face,fore arms and knee.
                  Luckily my bike wasnt severly damaged

                  >RHS fairing tip jus above the indicatior lamps is scraped a bit.
                  >handle bar bent slightly,end weights and brake lever scraped.
                  >few scratches on the silencer heat shield.

                  So went straight to HHSC (247 motors,mysore road bangalore)
                  replaced the handle bar(rs 230),end weights(rs 45),brake lever(rs 60)

                  But my concern is that even after replacing the handle bar, its bent slightly to the RHS,( the RHS is a bit bent towards the rider) as though the assembly is bent
                  What could be the reason??PLEASE HELP ME OUT GUYS!!!
                  Also i need your suggestion PSR sir.

                      First of all Thank God for not getting seriously injured...You are not wearing a helmet which could have made the Accident a fatal one...Start WEARING A HELMET..RESPECT YOURS AND OTHERS LIFE.
                      The handle bar is fixed on rubber cushioned studs and if their pinion is bent then also the problem you had told will happen. Get it changed.

                      Also fix CBZ crash/Leg guard..it is a direct fit.

                            If the fork is bent then it will be tight and bumpy over pot holes.....the fork oil seal on the bent fork will also wear out very soon...is it happening.?
                            Never try to straighten a bent fork leg and Re-use...It is the inner tube which will be bent..replace and have peace of mind.
