May be the owner changed pilot lamp (like me) soon as he got the bike.

Here we get crash bar for hardly 200-250, depends. 'Chetan', 'Swastik' brand sounds familiar from yester years of RX100. However, not sure of CHATHAN. Don't you think chrome finish might spoil the overall look on your blackie?

Yeah bro, you'r right the chrome lacks finish, It looks as if its been made 10mins before we got to the shop. And me too changed the pilots as soon as I got my bike, say within the first 2 weeks.

What is that ? I accidently sprayed zorrik 88 on my rear disc brake's disc & the brake is really loose , bike won't stopping , luckly i got it within time , then washed the disc & cleaned it

Its a type of ruberized coating to protect the bike from colour fading and all that, also helps to hide small scratches. Thought the ones we get here are cheap and not even close to the real one.

Yes it is T10 Parking bulbs

Bro, hows a T10 different from other bulbs?? And what are they'r costs???

Replies in BOLD for you.

tried and tested by me

. Well over gravel and sand

you will screw up

Nissin, lacks initial bite, but stops way quicker than briber.
Cause in a pulsar or fz just touch the lever and the front end goes for a dive, but takes a while for the bike to actually halt, where as in ZMA's even if you firmly grab the lever the bite will be comparatively way less, but the braking way way more effective.

CASE STUDY.

Was speeding of with my friend. Me ZMA(Back brakes were'nt calibrated so only front) and my friend was riding a Fazer(Functional front and rear with stock tyres).
A guy on a splendor, suddenly skipped a signal and popped in front of us, I was the one in lead and both of us were doing 80kmph(though his speedo showed 93kmph) so I squeezed my front brake in a gradual phase, and the next moment my friend was in front of me, he was going at both brakes, yet his bike wasnt comming to a halt and his rear was smoking, and I mean literally smoking with white smokes and all comming and the bike wobbling and all. So in short, Nissin front alone beats briber front with fz rear(whatever they'r called).

Not Brakes!

Point to be considered, Michelin M45's are in stock, or at least for now.

T10 is a socket & its connector type used in HeroHonda bikes , the stock one are T10 pilot lamps , Means if you gonna change pilot bulbs then make sure you purchase bulbs having T10 socket connector not T20 or other. The one posted above are SMD LED pilot lamps with a T10 socket , which cost you around 200 rupees , search car access shops for them , if not then they are available online too.

I respect every Indian language but posting on a forum with members all across the country, would advise to be vernacular (i.e Native/English).

Michelin Pilot Sport and Michelin Sirac Street tyres are the best bet but still confused

how much does these cost( i want both Front and rear) and other than these two is there any better alternates??
good handling/road grip is ma first preference.

thanks in advance.

Go for M45/4.18 and no questions.

Search, you'll find matte finish one.

Nissin, lacks initial bite, but stops way quicker than briber.

Some what agreed. I wouldn't say it is bad compared with other bikes. Nissin does good job. Bybre is a subsidary of one of the world's leading brake manufacturer Brembo.

I beg to differ here that T10 does not mean the socket. The socket is always called Wedge. T10 denotes the size of the bulb i.e end to end.

Check this out--> The difference of T10 and T11 socket size

As per my search & finding , the connector & socket type is a T10 for parking bulbs , like H4 for headlight

Check these pictures specially their connectors

T5 type

T8 type

T20 type

1156 type

BA9S type

And now T10 type with different END TO END size

So when I see Internet ad, T10 LED 194 Wedge bulbs Dash Dome Light 12v DC 15 SMD LED 1.44 Watt 105 Lumen White, 1415WH it confuses me to think socket type is wedge and T10 related to the size or type of LED.

You have wedge bulbs filament type too for example stock ones comes in ZMA-R, however we do not call it T10, correct? Not sure if 'the connector & socket type' are interchangably used here with wedge. That's my question. Or may be in LED world T10 means parking bulbs?

Too many questions running wild inside my head. Ok, Let enjoy my Philips T10 LED 4000k let other riders envy!

If you want white then you'll need to search for the color temperature like Philips T10 LED 4000K/4300K.

Sorry.

Search, you'll find matte finish one.

Yup!. Today planning to search all over again with Aneesh. I wont rest till I get one, cause the RX ones are cheap as well as good looking comparing to the Stunner ones(Rs 600).

Some what agreed. I wouldn't say it is bad compared with other bikes. Nissin does good job. Bybre is a subsidary of one of the world's leading brake manufacturer Brembo.

Yup! Brembo's the worlds leading brake manufacturer, but Nissins not bad too. Cause in all premium segment bikes I find Nissin.

The prototype is bulky-if it works I'll give it a crash course for slimming !!

The prototype's been gathering dust for 2 days now . I'm down with cold/fever . Can't keep my head straight due to the medicines . Hav to go to work till noon . I'll see if I can check the prototype on 'test bed' today afternoon . Continuing rain may prevent working on the bike though , even if I'm well enough to do it .

Philips also makes T10 Led parking bulbs , but the cost is really big , where as chinese are low cost with good light. But before to buy get it checked first for the colour.
The one in your avatar looks really cool & suitable for your name too Blumarine005

Check this Wedge base - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

As headlight socket types are H1 , H4 , H7 etc. Hero Honda uses H4 type & for parking bulb types are T10 , T20 etc. Hero Honda bikes has T10 type mostly for parking lights

Had my first major issue with the ZMA in the morning...The bike started only after four tries(normally single) and idled at 1,000 RPM.when I tried to accelerate engine switched off..tried with choke,and engine wouldn't fire at all( My AFR is at 4 turns)..again it will start and idle but even a little acceleration will result in immediate switching off..the idling note in the exhaust was also a bit weak and not healthy thump ,though the pressure at the exhaust outlet was good..I let it idle for 10 minutes and when engine had warmed up sufficiently, tried acceleration...again engine switched off....knowing the basics helped me solve the problem...
