    Try Joels FFE. With Joel's FFE,you will get 10% increase in power,ie 1.7hp gain ,so 18.7hp ZMA and 5% increase in mileage.

      Aneesh, before you go on advise to use Joel kits, let him read and understand what they are about. It is always green on the other side.

      How much did you blow last time when you visited SVC? Be ready with cash when you try 10w30 oil on ZMA. Ok, jokes apart. It's my personal opinion that when you are happy with 20w40 and have no issues running, stick to it. It's easy to get attracted to many offerings in the market, however, they do leave trail of consequences unless if you are fully aware and prepared.

        Can we use semi synthetic 20W50 engine oil in Zma? What kind of positive or negative impact will it have?

                Cause I've seen many Vegas with visors that'r intact, when I asked the shopkeeper, even he advised to go visor less since I wear specs.
                And its good to see you've got rid of the hat part, cause at speeds excess 110kmph the wind tends to pull your head upwards.
                I think that is correct . Today I checked out Vega (MX) helmets and all the ones at HH didn't have visors . The ones of Bieffe did but they looked "ugly" compared to Vega . I asked the lady there 'Why is it that good looking helmets don't have visors and ones with visors look ugly?' and she couldn't stop laughing ..!

                  I had done the change of front Disc brake oil soon as I bought my pre-owned ZMA.I had replaced it with DOT 4 since it has better spec than DOT 3.It is easy to do..i used TVS Girling brake oil....Any quality make will do the job.

                      I have seen many TVS 50 guys use it to gain more FE when their pockets are not in good condition..

                          A FFE alone cannot give you 10% higher HP, and FFEs will lead to loss in FE..

                              that is correct but visor can be bought separately i got matte black vega motocross helmet+ visor for 1.5k the visor can be opened upto 40% i prefer helmets with visors but according to me the vega motocross doesnt match the karizma R suitable for pulsars ( purely personal opinion but most people have the same idea )
