Please do not use SMS language to post . Higher than 50/60 watts is 90/100 watts . But it will burn your reflector, and hence not adviceable.
Alternately you can try 50 watts HID of less than 4 K color temperature.

A halogen more powerful than the Nightbreaker for the ZMA? Don't think you will have many options. Consider upgrading to HID.

My Bike is 5 yrs old and done only 28k kms .i stopped visiting the svc after my 3rd free service. i'll be getting it inspected as soon as i collect the required parts.

From what I had learn from MAXzma the timing chain guides/tensioner had gone bad thereby letting the timing chain run loose...causing this sound.send PM to him and he will be able to help

Cause of the chil chil sound, mentioned earlier by vaishak.

You could get the tensioner replaced, if the sounds still there get the timing chain inspected.

At 4 turns am now getting 23kmpl????? And now bike tops out at 115kmph.
And one for strange thing is at standstill my bike goes only upto 9.5k????
And found what appears to be something similiar to oil stains near the head and crank case junction. Took bike to svc, they suggested to do the 2nd service abit early and they'll also look into the problems, one of the mechs suggest to check my timing chain, anyways will take the bike in on saturday.

The reason I noticed the above were cause I'd lost a race to a stranger riding a P150..


PSR Sir,Aneesh,Sriram,Max, Everyone!!! Please come to my rescue.

9.5 K RPM is the Max RPM for ZMA when the cut off kicks in...Why are you doing Street Racing..Don't you know how dangerous it is to you and others on the road ? In future Kindly refrain from it.
It is the rider who will make the biggest contribution to the bike's performance.

My observation/thoughts:-

1. I would think you are too early with your ride expecting whole lot out of the bike.

2. You should allow the engine to settle down a bit for at least 5000kms to make any changes to the carb (I mean tuning on AFR). It's ok for sometime if your bike not able to do the desired pick up. However, remember your engine is new and should take it up gradually.

3. Racing :- It's not in my world of riding a bike, would still recommend to allow engine to run in smooth in a constant RPM. If were you, would gradually increase my cruising speed after doing some constant RPM. Not that I have not taken her past 110. It's how you imagine if the engine is strained or not.

4. I had always kept my hands low on the engine even though there are scope to better the performance. Why? There need some run for the engine to adapt and respond to the tuning.

5. Its a boon to have a biker forum with experts here to help how not a bike should be and what is expected. Having a fair idea on the boundaries and limitations ZMA-R, should consciously adhere to it.

6. I'm not sure how much your bike done on the odo as of today, still would recommend to go slow on your experiments until you cross 5k on the odo to make changes from stock set up.

7. Logically I might be wrong on some of my points here, would always respect the factory recommendations to suit the situation.

8. Since the bike is under warranty, if I were you, will not shag my bike to void warranty just because I'm not able to go beyond 9.5k RPM or to seek top speed tests.

9. Timing chain expected to lasts atleast 10k minimum. Imagine the abuse if you were to change it even before your second service.

10. I understand the adranline rush everytime you ride the bike, you'll need to get sync with the bike and know what it is capable of to give some VFM. If you ever realize this, then there's nothing short of joy ride. This would elevate yourself to a better rider.

I know my points are very generic and is not contributing a solution to your issue. May be after servicing, give some thoughts to the above points to avoid seeing youself in such situation in future.

These are my personal thoughts.

Please find my response in blue.
+100

Strange..I mostly get 30-31km/l in city.

Hadnt checked that even after the engine overhaul. Speeding is thrill but i feel sad after ripping my bike.


Second time you again misundersting.He had clearly said that in standstill.

Mine goes upto 10k in neutral gear.

Yo go till 110? I thought you bought your bike recently. How much on odo?

When I did 110, that time my bike completed 2500kms on the odo. And I cruised between 95-110 during my trip to KA (round 1400kms). Once even touched 120 on the speedo, however, it was for a less a minute. Right now it stands at 3200kms on odo approx. My riding style is very low profiled, I usually take it up very gradually and stay at 5-5.5k RPM for sometime before opening the throttle further.

What is the logic behind revving so hard at neutral?

So, what have achieved out of it?

@ All:- I understand that all would like to share their experience and expect to seek feed back. However, without any logic or the objective nor thinking of the consequences, you are just not doing any good than just stressing the engine too hard.

@PSR:- You might differ from my views and opinion posted here and would wholeheartedly take it as feedback. My point is, 'Do not fiddle with the engine, unless you have an issue' is my policy. Experiments shall be carried out in a controlled environment however, clearly understanding the consequences and prepared.

Sorry sir, wasnt street racing at all... Its just that for the past few days I've been getting the feeling that my rides a bit more lazier than usual. And today when the P150/180 idiot challenged me I just kinda lost it... And was still shocked cause my bike just a few weeks before the spill kicked ass of P220.

And Sir, I believe theres a correction to be made. I believe most zma's go till 10.5(past the 10.25 mark). A month before I got my zma I rode a friends bike(actally senior) and the bike touched 10.5rpm on gear... And since the fibre had faded abit I thought it to be 11k and it was aneesh who corrected me that zma only has tilll 10k on tacho.

Its not about adrenaline rush bro. I have a brain and I always believe in using it, but the reason I rip my rides is cause, I've heard(not sure if its not a rumour) that if we ride at a constant slow speed the ride gets accustomed ans will never go beyond that speed after a certain period.

I know bro, it was really embarassing. But the P150 guy rode like crazy, he was riding the bike as if it was a cycle, we just waved past traffic and I was all conservative and all, once again cause I've got a BRAIN!!!

Reply in BOLD.

I'm surprised and astound at your response to my post. So much knowledge? Looks like you have all the knowledge when it comes to bike. May be you can share some of the theories.

Oh yes, your repeated emphasis on your self confession makes it even more convincing. You are too good..ROFL !!!!

All the best.

Wasnt refering completely about bikes when I said I had a brain, I was speaking in contrast to people who ride rash(P150 guy), I ride fast and rip bikes, (maybe its cause of my complex, since am obese and all)... But till this day I have'nt done anything stupid, Its like you'r overtaking and say another bus comes from the opp. direction an idiot would continue overtaking cause he trusts on luck alone, but I dont. Thats the difference between being practical and outright dum.....

And hell yeah!!! Im good!!!!
