Bought: 27/5/2011
Odo: 678 kms
1st Service: 7/6/2011

Review:-

I took my bike to the HH service station near my house this morning. I kind of surprised when the floor supervisor requested me to wait so that they would service and give immediately.

I waited at the customer lounge ten-fifteen minutes. Then I requested if let me take a look at the servicing. They immediately agreed and was taken to the basement where it was ready after water wash.

Soon PSR joined me. They took good 2 hours to complete including the oil change. Hmm.. they surprised us by saying that oil engine oil would be drained COMPLETELY (not 900ml but 1.2l) and replace it with HH 10w30 oil. Had to go with the flow now. Then they even said, if customer wants to use some other oil if given to them.

I was also thinking about the crash guard to be fixed on to the bike, after a great deal locating the xtreme crash guard and was about to make the payment, one looked experienced advised that it might get damage the front mud guard. Alternatively, requested to put single bar crash guard from the market.

After service, bike had a smooth gear shift (super smooth which I'm not liking as if it is used/abused) may be because of the oil grade

Got it Teflon coating done, just for the heck knowing how long would that lasts.

Bike cover - Needed !

I need some suggestions for the ZMA bike cover, meeting some basic quality standards. I throw open this to this community to help/source a good one. Help me !!

Currently guarding from rain with old unicorn cover which I still have in good shape however, ideally should be using the right size.

Owner quoted 48K finally bought it for 41 K
work done..
1. Front fork oil seals changed,
2. New Engine oil
3. New air filter.

The engine, the frame, the alloy wheels have to be in good condition,since these cost a fortune to replace.Depending on the condition of other parts like Battery,tires etc., price will vary.

You are making good progress Sriram

thanx psr..i will check all things what u mentioned...

Another good review from you,Loved it.^^^I think you are the first one to get this offer from SVC.

Guys tell me about Teflon coating,Mine is also Teflon coated but now the tank looks worse,Teflon coats gone from some parts and now its like deep scratches.So i am not going to do Teflon Coating anymore.

Me too. The coating now looks ugly with a whitish blue colour on it whwn wet..
Will upload the picture soon..
From my experience don't go for Teflon coating

It might be some problem with valves. Had this kind of experience on bro's CBZ or may be because of some cracks in insulator.

Please check your insulator. I had same experience I did same as you did. Until finally it broke off into two pieces 'the metal part and the rubber part' during a service 3 months before. I gave order for it, till now they are not able to provide it they call it as spare shortage. Have joined it with MSeal Super now it works good.

Indraprastha the HH Showroom @ Trichur has stopped selling spares outside. If someone needs spares they have to purchase it by writing a jobcard for some silly jobs. But @ Trichur there is an HH authorised spare outlet to buy spares.

The Honda showrooms here have displayed even a notice telling "Due to the shortage in spare parts we are not selling spares for outsiders. Kindly cooperate with us".

Spare shortage

There are some funny assumptions behind after talking with Supervisor while taking it out.
1. ZMA/ZMR occupies more space in the service area, hence they want to do the service and move out of the workshop floor.
2. Monday it rained and may be because of that there were hardly 30 odd bikes in total for the morning and in that I was among the first 10 (I guess). That could have made way to get the service done immediately.

3. Oh! the worst assumption is that ZMA white they have not seen before in their service area nor some creature wearing shorts and caps making some loud talks with people around.

Anyways, I hope he remembers me next time when I visit too.

Its due to cold,Will go when cold is over.

+1 from me too.

Could you tell me which insulator? Do you know its part number?And how much does that costs?

haha,Here its like this" Karizma needs more time to work,so go and comeback after 2 days."

ZMA Owners - Request!

I'm looking for bike cover as the rain surprises Chennai these days. Since I don't enjoy the covered parking at home, thought would better go for good protection. I need some suggestions here. I had a chance to come across Rjays which was quoted at 1.8k,whoa! bit too much for my pocket.

Also, looking for Battery compartment that of ZMA prior to 2011 model. Why? The battery comes in my bike is 7ah MF and the battery looks so small, they have even re-sized the cage (compartment). For sure, it won't hold 9ah length like how many had fitted.

The Chennai dealer does not have stock, or reluctant in giving information on even getting them if ordered. Weird!

Guys help!
