Guys, I am utterly depressed.
My Karizma r is struggling to reach 80kmph on speedo(clocked 7K).
I have noticed this thing few days before, when I was coming to my office.
On 23rd July, I had a servicing done and drained the 300V - 15W50(used for 1.5K only) and poured a new one. On 24th I had a long ride (300km approx). On that day, I filled up my tank from a Highway petrol pump. The performence of the bike was superb. On 30th July, I topped up fuel the tank and had a ride approximately 350km. The road was utterly dusty and I was maintaining 100+ kmph throughout. I faced the issue while returning, the bike was struggling to cross 100 kmph mark.

Though, I don't bring my bike to my office, but decided to use my bike for few days for testing purpose and found that the bike is really struggling to touch even 80 kmph.

I have jotted down few reasons:
1. the air filter.
2. bad fuel.
3. need a carburetor wash.
4. the 300V 15W50 may be the culprit.
5. need to check the spark plug color.
6. the tyre pressure may be low.
7. I have found that the throttle is not moving freely.

I have changed the air filter today, as I had a new one kept at my home. But while coming today to office I found no improvement.

Today, while going back, I am going to drain the remaining fuel and pour fresh fuel from a good petrol pump.

Guys please do advice..........!
I am damm depressed..................!!!!

Looks like the photo was taken back in the 80-90's
anyways you can try out the stuff that some people use to protect the chrome in bikes during monsoon.it is almost the same color as the silencer.i've heard that it is big task to remove it off the chrome.

Not sure if SVC would help replacing the part. However, you can give a try.

OT:- Also for preventing such, you might want to try Collinite-850 that can be purchased online and the delivery at your doorstep. From what I heard the results are good.

Just changed my front disc brake pads to TVS RTR brake pads. Paid Rs. 370/-, straight fit except I had to sand them a little, as they were a wee bit thick. Braking was mediocre in the beginning, after about 5kms of revvy riding and braking, there was a great deal of improvement in the breaking power. Will continue the brakepad breaking-in and update the progress here.

Also asked the price of RTR rear view mirrors and was told that they cost ~150 a piece, so will be Rs. 300 in total. Will have to figure out if they can be fitted or not first before taking the plunge.

" ASK " is the OEM brake components supplier to many manufacturers now..including RTR and HH Karishma.Recently I bought the rear brake shoes for my ZMA from HH and found that it was 110/- and in small letters I saw ASK printed on it. In the normal auto spres shops also the price is the same, but the disk pads of ASK for RTR and ZMA is also Rs.110/-...So next time search for ASK pads as a cheaper alternate.
