        Why you turned 3.5 instead of 4 turns as suggested by 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
          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..
          I think you can leave it at the present setting and see...you will be getting around 33 Km now in city.

              So 4 turns is slightly rich?

                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 ?
                4 turns + second hole in slide +washer under needle= slightly rich
                At 4 turns without the mod it was like Abhash plug after adjustment

                  Asked ashwinprakas and Vishakh about this,both of them have new karizma R and both of their speedos are working in this manner.

                      I can feel a huge difference in acceleration.
                      So what do you say about the speedometer back lit?

                        I just checked my bike (12:47 AM 18/6/2011).

                        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?

                          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!

                              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!!!

                              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.

                                As there is no starting problem now,guess you don't have to use choke.

                                Stay away from castrol,Fakes are available in the market,Get Shell or Motul.
