Yup, have checked it. There is no leakage of fuel. Anyone please explain what the problem can be.

My zma's front forks oil seal gone.

Check the air filter box and if there is any overflow pipe under the chasis which must be covered. Though i am not sure about that.

Hi Hartorque,

I confirmed. I have a 135mm jet.
The manufacturer is some ccd spareparts co. pvt ltd.

If you are not able to find it in Hyderabad.
You can order it from KRP Delhi(Where I got it from).

If you need any more details do let me know.

Yesterday I rode with the R1s for around 130km at an average speed of 110 kmph. Highest was something around 125kmph (Didn't touch red line). But I was continuously doing above 115kmph in my ZMA.

After this high speed ride, wherever I am parking the bike even after a small ride, I could feel the smell of petrol (almost similar smell) in great intensity. And this smell is staying for a long time. But before yesterday I have never experienced this smell. What has happend to my bike due to this high speed ride??

FYI: I have touched 120kmph mark before but didn't stay there for long time. I have ridden close to 550km in a day before but never continued riding above 110kmph for a long time. My bike has done 4100km and completed 3rd servicing a week back.

I don't think that there should be a problem with the high speed run.
I have done a long hich speed run (around 250 kms) on my Zma.
Nothing Happened.

I think the smell might come because of bike geting hot.
Also sometimes Air Pressure builds up in the tank.

I am not sure for the exact reason but might be something to do with the high temprature.

Don't Worry.
Observer the bike for 2,3 days and see if it is happening again

You are the real culprit.

Who asked you to do 130kmph continuously?

You were leading us in a way as if you are chased by the R1s.

I too had to follow you at 125kmph.

But I have done several 550km ride in a day before, at an average speed of 95kmph. Nothing happened to the bike at that time. But this time the average was 110kmph. And I think it is something related to this only. Let me observe it for couple of more days.

@Jonak-Your bike is still very new and hence the smell resulting from overheating of engine.Nothing to worry though.

Btw Nabendu says that his bike never crossed the 120 mark in his speedo

.

**ravi@17bhp** · 03-20-2009, 01:03 PM

Jonak, seems your bike's engine has gone for a hot hot fry. Your bike's piston has worn out and piston rings may have gone for a toss. There may be possibility that the rocker arms have gone due to nonfunctional cam tensioner and chain.

Eventhough I told you not to cross 100 on a Zma, you did not pay heed to my warning. See now what happened.

**BANDHAV** · 03-20-2009, 01:12 PM

@ravi: how will be responisble if that poor chap end up having a nervous breakdown after reading your post?

Ya we tried with that tubeless knobs only Rocky...
But no idea why the air was leaking....
The Michelin outlet guy was saying that after some running of the tyre, we can again try converting to tubeless

What happened after crossing 100kmph I don't know!! But something will happen after he reads this.

But I feel its not something to worry about. Jonak have you checked the engine oil level?? Is your bike drinking oil? If yes, then piston rings have gone kaput. Anyway it's only a guessing game here. So i think you should get it checked ASAP!

**ravi@17bhp** · 03-20-2009, 01:32 PM

Chill guys!!! Just pulling legs.

JOnak, nothing wrong with your bike. Do not worry. May be it is just that your olfactory sensors are too much active.

a couple of days back I filled up gas at an indian oil gasstation and within minutes I could sense a change in the bikes performance.It started coughing and misfiring and when I came back home I could see black smoke being emitted from the bike .The service station guys told me it is because of bad fuel.anything I need to be worried about bike has done 13k kms and oil has been changed every 1500 to 2k kms.The color of smoke is black...

Drain the petrol ASAP!

Buy yourself a bottle of Iftex 2/3 (this is specifically for carb'ed 2 & 3 wheelers) from the stella maris BP bunk and use that additive for a while with your tankfuls. Dosage of additive would be given in the bottle!

**steveburnside2001** · 03-20-2009, 01:47 PM

bike is at the service station and I have asked them to drain the fuel.Will get the additives.I never used higher octane fuel and I use the regular fuel.Do you think this has anything to do with it.

Nope, from you description it seems exactly like the case of spurious fuel.

Don't fill from that bunk again!

Btw, which IOC bunk was this?
