    My 2006 model Zma with 12,000kms on odo slips gears (only 1st and 2nd). What could be the possible reasons?

          No regrets of buying a new ZMA R . For one , the fiber parts rattle after some time . In my case it came in a slightly rattling state (the point where the fiber parts join had cracked) .Then it was already in a run in stage ( I hate limitations when riding .I may go slow , but only when I want to) and I didn't have to control the engine RPM . Also I have an aversion to stock bike ( there's no other explanation - can't get used to stock lights or horns , tinkers with the AFR if I can do it ) . When buying used I have no concerns about whether anything I do will void the warranty . I'm not going for the big bore , but may have a look at the FFE if the db killer is good enough .

          Explain, I think it should be 5w.
          And, is 55/60 Philips Extreme good enough??? Please post cost and other details/experiences.
          No relays used for the Bosch dual horns??
          5 W aux lamps ? You must be thinking about pilot lamps . Aux start from 35W . Even 55/60 ordinary halogen is way better than the stock 35/35 . A bonus for yourself would be to connect it using a relay like I have done . Before using a relay I never did think the light would get that much better ! . If Philips Extreme gives at least 30% more light than ordinary halogens , then it'd be great . I've seen an Osram Nightbreaker ( single bulb packaging ) at a shop here . It's 2009 supply and the MRP was 900/- . Least / last price quoted was 800/- . Don't know what to do .

            Clutch slips are mainly caused by worn out clutch plates. Welcome,check and revert.

                    My bike climbed easily till 90 then took little time to climb 110 and then it stood there just like that guess it will go 130 without pillion ( hoping so )

                      Arun - Incase you get an opportunity to try out the sirac street on wet weather, do post your feedback. I would like to get some first hand exp since i need to change my front tyre to M shortly as the previous one's have run close to 20k now and it is disintegrating on a daily basis.

                          I'm in the queue too.

                          I already have M45 4.18 for the rear. Could not speculate right which tyres should we go for front.

                            Sirac Street 2.75 is a good replacement for stock tires.

                              no way bro i will take the bike and come straight to kollam to put in the tires. Because of the changes like bending the linkage rod and brake stay needs to be done in presence of an expert like you . Well not now any ways budget problems . Total cost will be close to 4 k for changing both tires
