strange !!

Hello all today after driving for around 50 kms my bike faced with a strange problem . After reaching halt i switched off the bike and when i again started it after some 2 minutes the bike started and then when i put the bike in gear and opened throttle the bike conked off then i put the bike in neutral and again started the bike it started again but the moment i opened the throttle again it went off, this repeated a couple of times even with slight opening of throttle the bike went off all this time the idle RPM was showing only 1000 usually it shows 1500 when hot then i had to push the bike to the parking area and then i again started her all was back to normal the bike showed 1500 on rpm and revved up with the throttle i gave no idea what happened please help

You are developing loose contact in the CDI connector...see my post few pages back....The CDI is under the seat to the right (kicker side)..It is positioned after the side frame.....Try pulling and pushing the connector,and it will solve the problem..

Ah! the fiber does cost quite a premium. I was thinking about changing the rear cowls as they have become too dark compared to the front fairing (this is weird, because usually colors fade and this is the opposite! I don't know if my eyes are noticing things incorrectly). Probably I should postpone since there aren't any major cracks.


Dude, I gave a visit to the same mech in the evening @ around 5pm, damn we could've met somewhere. He rode my ZMA, and made it sure to me that the the bike is not as smooth as other ZMAs. Major contributor being the wornout chain which is hitting the guard making a ruckus. Also the clutch cable is tight, so needs oiling. He also showed me another ZMA he has in the guarage which has been riveted at the rear-cowl-screw areas, and the fibre doesn't budge even slightly. I am thinking about getting the fiber riveted at the joints, should solve the fiber vibration completely. Plus there's a bend in the front alloy, and he said correcting it will cost me about Rs 500. Plus changing the sprocket/chain about Rs. 1100.

Btw, I had a small problem few weeks ago. My ZMA's display and engine used to turn itself off if I turned the handle bar to the right or left. This happened only at a specific point of the turning, and the bike display (not the engine) would turn itself back on if I was riding at an rpm of ~3k or above. If I were idling, turning the handlebar totally switched off the ignition, including the display, and the display would come back on when I turned the handlebar back to the normal/straight position. This happened while I was coming back from my classes, and was pretty scared at one time, since the bike went off in the middle of busy traffic with big trucks behind me. Plus their rude honking. After that, pressed the clutch a lot more, and revved the engine and kept it above 2k rpm even while idling.

Later took it to a mechanic, it turned out that the wiring in the ignition switch (white in color, looks like a stepper motor with white casing) which sits directly below the ignition/bike-key slot, had developed some rust because of moisture leading to loose contact. He took off the handlebar, rewired, insulated and voila, bike is back to normal. Took about 20 minutes, since removing the handlebar area nuts was pretty time consuming. He suggested me to change the switch next time I give it for servicing.

Thanks a lot sir i was thinking that it might be something because of dust in the carburetor jet, it hadn't occurred since then, it happened only that one time since then the bike is running perfectly, also is their any other possibilities that might cause the same fault?

@ psr : saw your previous post regarding the CDI yeah it was the same situation for me too seems like condensation was the culprit for me as yesterday i washed the bike in the evening and today it was drizzling a bit so humid climate, didnt get time for proper dry up i think and today i was visiting a nearby dam the climate around there was very humid too

At first the source of the parts were'nt provided. So I assumed it was'nt authentic.

But what made me feel suspicious was the packing, since spare parts from SVC always come in sealed packages. But I guess that too is irrelevant since the dealer packed it and sent it.

And finally. The parts came with stickers. Originally ZMA parts dont come with stickers. But now since they'r generalizing there'd only be ZMA-R 2011 parts available(my conclusion). For example if we go and order the part that holds the fairing and frame, then we'll get the ones with the reflectors welded to it, we wont get the original plain one.


When Arun bro, provided the pic, he didnt state its source. He just said that It was from b'lore. Thats why I ENQUIRED ABOUT ITS AUTHENTICITY AND TO CONFIRM I ALSO ASKED WHETHER HE AQUIRED IT FROM SVC. I wasnt accusing Mr.Ashwin(Cool name.), since I wasnt even aware whether Arun bro bought it from him. I was just curious on seeing the pic, so just enquired.

AND

Authentic or not, if theres a worthwhile cheap replacement anywhere out there. Then lemme have it!!!!

One of my stupid friends ran my bike dry. And kept on cranking.
And I finally got to him and put the bike on reserve. But as soon as I pressed the started the bike started but the RPM started warrying from 0~2K as if the bike was breathing. So I just turned the key off and switched it on again. And everything went away. The bikes CDI's abit strange. So if you find the bike running odd then just restart it.

restarted it a couple of times well it got ok though

And any specific size for the drill sir? Where can i get the drill done if I open the carb and take the slider out?

The thought came across before sir. But I thought the liquid gasket might go into the head and block oil supply or something. Any chance of that happening?

Who saw it? The owner Mohan or the guy with the red tee? The guy is very trustworthy and does a very clean job. I was there till 3 in the afternoon!

Today while lubing my chain with Aneesh we noticed that we could shift gears effortlessly without the clutch(bike was on center stand). So im abit curious about performing clutchless shifts while riding. But am not sure about the correct RPM range. Anyone here with some experience on the same.

Actually i came to know about that from you today! I didn't know that.. Didn't that damages the gear box?

Theres an optimum RPM if we do it properly there'll be no damage + more clutch life.

And not exactly sure about it, just got the above info from the GS150R post.

With all due respect, kindly understand, inquire and learn before you post your thoughts. Here you had not found the facts as how the fairing are coming from the factory.
How do you feel if I had to tell your ZMA is fake just because your did not post scan details of your purchase? You can very well ask question learn and benefit but make sure your don't hurt someone by your blind perception.

LOl!!! C'mon sir am I the only one who gets misunderstood here.

If I post a pic of me sitting on a ZMA which has puppy dog grafitti, what would be your first question????

"IS IT CUSTOM PAINTED?"

Yup since ZMA's dont come that way you'd assume its custom painted, right? Thats exactly the same what happened here.

I didnt accuse anyone or claim anything. I just asked, putting in your words I was trying to ENQUIRE & LEARN. Here's my original post, so that you can confirm.

But still, If you guys feel am wrong then, my heartfelt apologies.

replies in bold...

In any Synchromesh gear box this is feasible...but if you try shifting at the wrong RPM your gear box will be damaged necessitating crankcase opening and gear box re-build.

Here it is bro. Changed the Tappet bolt O-Ring and now Zero Oil Leaks.
