Are you sure it is 20w50. Mine is 06 karizma and the manual says 20w40. I think yours is also 20w40.

U can aaraam say use 10w30 oil without any problem. Do not rack your head on this.

Sorry that was a typo. Yes, it's 20W40.

I have been religiously following this thread since I booked my Black ZMA. It has now done 350 KM. I am keeping the RPM in between 3K and 4K. Do I need to keep in mind anything else in the running in period?

**Jonak** · 02-28-2009, 01:23 PM

This is very much discussed in past one month or so. Please check this thread. You will get all information about running in period. Let's not start the same thing all over again.

i have been using cbz pads for more than a year now...i was short of money n my mech suggested me to go with that....no probs till date....no diff at all....

errr... CBZ & ZMA pads are the same. They are Nissin pads at HH showroom and cost Rs 1750.

There are many after market pads outside ranging from Rs 90 to 150. Among the ones I've seen - KBX (u all know abt this), ASK (OEM for Honda & Yamaha branded brake pads), Top, ANL, Xing, one more that I am nto able to recollect.

Hello People.. This is about the new tyre I just installed.
I previously used Dunlop Geo-Cruiser 120 Tyre for the rear.. Over the time passed, it started making me very unhappy for its not so good grip even on the plane tarmac.. In wet it directly says "NO" by wobbling so oftenly.! Started feeling scared.. Finally yesterday after a bit of homework i narrowed down on putting a tyre from Mrf as they are made for Indian Road/Climate conditions (i believed). So I selected MRF Meteor 110, which has an awesome grip.! Not tried yet on the wet surface.. But very nice on Tarmac & Off-road.. Atleast within a days time, I am happy .. Lets see how it makes me feel in the coming period..
If any of you have this tyre already on their machines.. Please let me know its feedback & review..!!

Covered 1k Kms on my ZMA

Hello All,
Its been a pleasure to complete 1k on my new ZMA and to celebrate it i touched the 100kmph mark

. This was the first time i did so on this machine.
Few points i observed:

The bike has a good power delivery till bout 5.5k rpm after that it some how feels like the engine is getting suffocated a little bit
The front disk makes a small squeaking noise, SSC ppl told me that it is common but I am not fully convinced
How bout switching to Castrol Power1?

Any opinions on the same?

Are you sure this sound is not coming due to presence of dust particles/sand between the disk and the disk pad?

Maybe your bike isn't fully opened up yet. Give it some time. Don;t rip her yet.

Open up the pads, get them cleaned and sandpapered. Sometimes a faint noise would settle down and nothing much to do about it.

Wait at least till 2nd service.

I think its normal. If the engine oil level is good and you are not running too lean. Ignore it. As I said, I had a similar problem - but it subsided all by itself after running-in.

Hi Friends, funny side of the "tank getting hot" mistery is, it is happening when i use my bike for 20/30 min and park it for some time and then use it. The reason is hot air from the engine is travelling towards the petrol tank when parked.

a bit more heat is common on a new bike but make sure it is not a problem.

pls check if ur bike has the required amount of engine oil and that it is good. any doubt, change the engine oil just any where. costs u Rs 200 and does some good. pls drain on a hot engine.

if u r using higher octane fuel pls try regular petrol.

I changed the engine oil(HH 4T plus) last week at around 250km mark.. I am running the bike under 3.5-4K RPM. I have completed 400km. Any suggestion on what are all the things to mention when giving my bike for first service.
