    You already have shorter ratio in 5th gear,and you make it more by going for 36 teeth rear sprocket....5K is a good RPM on top gear,on upward inclination...If you try 4th which has a 1 ratio the pulling will be acceptable.

        Stock ZMA is setup lean to give FE..An old air filter which is clogged will make the AFR Rich throughout the RPM range.
        Now that you have stock air filter which breathes better, your AFR is as stock..lean..The final gear(5th gear) ratio of ZMA is also short ie., 0.8. So unless you go for richer AFR your speed is likely to be low....
        In the absence of any other problem ,..there is nothing to worry,and wait for the new air filter to start clogging for higher speeds....just my thought
        thanku sir.
        its mean that if AFR is richer then speed'll be low ..got it sir..
        make people to copy u.!

          Amit you are right..

          TO ALL HAVING DOUBTS ON THE REV LIMITER LEVEL ON KARIZMA IT IS SET AT 9,000 TO 9,500 RPM.

          sorry for wrong posting of the rev limiter figure as 8,300 RPM.

            In 4th it pulls effectively !!!

            I don't think you got it . Cleaning the air filter and 4 turns in AFR screw should do the Job.Orelse goto a road having little downward slope, rip fully n change gears @ 9 RPM..see 140 on speedo...sleep peacefully!!!
            TO ALL HAVING DOUBTS ON THE REV LIMITER LEVEL ON KARIZMA IT IS SET AT 9,000 TO 9,500 RPM.
            Whats the point of having it on 9-9.5k RPM when we can go till 10k only. What will happen after we cross 10k (Please edit Karizma spelling in the above post :P)
            PSR Sir, After I changed my filter checked the AFR screw.It was 8 turns . More turns make it rich...right. Then how I was getting a FE of 37. Anyway changed it to 4.5 turns and waiting to read the FE.

              Oh I was planning on putting them on the crash guard. Did not know that it hits the mud guard. Then which one am yet to decide. Something which is cheap and effective! Its in the pipeline though, after a month or two. Anyways why do you need the aux lamp when you have a bixenon? You want driving lamps or the fog ones?

              Super like!

              It was 8 turns . More turns make it rich...right. Then how I was getting a FE of 37. Anyway changed it to 4.5 turns and waiting to read the FE.

              OMG 8 turns?? 8 full 360 degree turns??

                Please check again . 4 turns means four 360 degree turns .

                  I approached the svc guys for a extreme guard and they said it will hit the mudguard.People who are having it ride carefully in speedbreakers and bad roads which is little tough .
                  I want some lamp which pierces the rain/fog effectively. I was not happy with the bixenon performance in last munnar ride where I faced extreme downpour in pit dark night in a scary forest with bumpy hairpins and 100wt lights from oncoming trucks.
                  Even thought of getting some small foglamps and putting them on mirror clamps, didn't get any branded one from JC road last week.

                  Please check again . 4 turns means four 360 degree turns .
                  Yes Man...four full 360 degree turns!!!

                      Which is what i suggested to you for your lower ratio.

                      The Limiter is set before 10K...if you notice after 8,250 the RPM is marked RED meaning the engine is not in safe area of operation...thanks for pointing on spelling.
                      PSR Sir, After I changed my filter checked the AFR screw.It was 8 turns . More turns make it rich...right. Then how I was getting a FE of 37. Anyway changed it to 4.5 turns and waiting to read the FE.
                      Was it 8 half turns or full turns...most of the time we confuse half turns as full since the screw driver tip would have turned once,we assume it had made one full turn(requiring two half turns.).
                      Or is it because you were running a K&N and set it up for that ? and did not change AFR after reverting back to stock....

                        AFR is lean = lower pickup,difficulty in starting, poor throttle response and less top speed,hot engine.
                        AFR is rich = Easy start,good pickup,good throttle response, and Better Top speed..engine runs cooler

                          Hi Guys!!!!

                          I tried testing the top speed of my ZMA on the Noida DND road. The bike went upto 105km/hr @ 6500rpm. And then it could not gon higher, I even tried by redlining but of no use. Also the bike was vibrating a lot. I have a pre-owned 2005 ZMA. I weigh 76kgs and I had a pillion weighing 83kgs. What canbe the reason?

                          The bike has done 34k on odo.

                            Check your AFR setting, and the condition of AIR FILTER.
                            Check air filter color ..it must be light yellow. if it is dark yellow, it is clogged and you need to change it...costs 205/- from HH A.S.S.
                            Change your spark plug if it had not been done.
                            Lube your chain and sprocket with Bearing Grease.and adjust for correct tightness.

                                The reed valve in a 2 stroker is required for correct fuel air charge input and blocking the charge inside from reversing. In 4 stroker this is done more precisely by the Valves.
                                In the picture of the Enfield bullet the inlet runner is quite long.. and the reed valve is mounted near the carb and not the inlet of cylinder......If it was done, then the torque the author is describing will be absent.
