The color of center electrode is better than the chalk white you had before. Did it solve your starting problem ?...I usually start my ZMA without choke and with one kick it starts...my plug is slightly more dark tan than yours....Since I need better response to throttle my AFR is kept slightly rich..and I had done some small mods to improve throttle response..Originally posted by abhash View Post@psr
sir, heres the pic of my plug after doing 70+ kms on 3.5 turn setting
it look more white than it really is due to flash and light background
actually it has a hint of light brown to it
I think you can leave it at the present setting and see...you will be getting around 33 Km now in city.When Was The Last Time,You Did Something For The First Time.

could be some mistake...since it is wired to ignition switch....Even the recent one i saw had speedo lights always on..Did you go for a drive after connecting the carb breather tube..how was it...did you take it through gears and RPM ?Originally posted by Aneesh@4GHz View Post@ psr

4 turns + second hole in slide +washer under needle= slightly rich
At 4 turns without the mod it was like Abhash plug after adjustmentLast edited by psr; 06-17-2011, 11:21 PM.When Was The Last Time,You Did Something For The First Time.

I just checked my bike (12:47 AM 18/6/2011).Originally posted by Aneesh@4GHz View PostAsked ashwinprakas and Vishakh about this,both of them have new karizma R and both of their speedos are working in this manner.
Step - 1 - Ignition key turn on - Fuel guage, odometer and trip meter comes to life. No light glows on the speedo
Step - 2 - Right side switch first tab- Speedo console, parking lights and rear tail lamp lights up.
Step - 3 - Right side switch second tab - all of step 2 plus headlight.
Is there something wrong?RX100 1996 | Karizma 2004 | Karizma-R 2011 | RXZ 1999 | RX 135 1998 | RX 100 1993 | CBF150 2005 - 2011

No problem at all. old Zma speedo light is on all the time. But in new Zma's you would have to swtich on atleast the pilot lamps for the speedo console to light up!Originally posted by SriramEfunds View PostI just checked my bike (12:47 AM 18/6/2011).

yes thanks to you it did solved my starting woes, now in the morning she fires up with a single push of the starter button!!!Originally posted by psr View PostThe color of center electrode is better than the chalk white you had before.

should i still take the choke in the morning
also i noticed that after changing the AFR setting my rpm during choke dont go to 4k like before but stay ~3k
the throttle response is better than before, although havent got a chance to test the topend speed. prior to this she touched 120 tops (with my 80kgs
)
will test for FE ans report back
one more thing, the gulf pride isnt easily available here, so can i go with castrol active 4T (20W40), is it comparable to gulf pride 4T??i am growing old, but not up!

Wow..Thats great.Originally posted by abhash View Postyes thanks to you it did solved my starting woes, now in the morning she fires up with a single push of the starter button!!!

As there is no starting problem now,guess you don't have to use choke.should i still take the choke in the morning
also i noticed that after changing the AFR setting my rpm during choke dont go to 4k like before but stay ~3k
Stay away from castrol,Fakes are available in the market,Get Shell or Motul.one more thing, the gulf pride isnt easily available here, so can i go with castrol active 4T (20W40), is it comparable to gulf pride 4T??
