The ZMA can be a ***** at times. But still, its an enjoyable ride.Originally posted by selvin rebz View Post
just two days of use 55/60w philips H4 toyota qualis bulb(E4) just 30mins running and my reflector got a burn on top.
had to come back to stock
guys be careful i think karizma 2011 is a delicate darling and is not like previous model. People are getting lots problem Tappet,valve,tensioner etc.

Words coming from a ZMA owner who bought it of his parents and has ordered a new replacement cylinder kit (Oh god! I wish there were crying and heart breaking smileys.).Motorcycling Experience:
2000 ~ 2017 Y2K Kinetic Zoom (Disposed at 15k)
2011 ~ 2015 Hero Honda Karizma R (Sold at 56.5k)
2013 ~ 2014 Bajaj Discover 100 4G (Sold at 16.5k)
2015 ~ 2017 TVS Wego (Totaled at 18k)
2015 - Bajaj Pulsar 220F (Currently 31k) < Garage Queen!
2017 - Bajaj CT100B (Currently 21k) < 'Golden Quadrilateral' Runner!
The Ride was Good, but Life is short, spend it Wisely!
Adios Comrades!

Yamalube 20w40 is supposed to be made by Motul.Originally posted by Aneesh@4GHz View PostAlso sir I am planning to get Yamalube 20W40 for my bike next time,Pinaki bro said its a bit better than the Gulf.What do you say?

I meant the parts manual uploaded by me..the expanded parts manual will show in detail the exhaust assembly.There are two more screws to be undone..Originally posted by acs1207 View PostThose were so tight in the first place and after removing them since I couldn't see anything else removable , I put them back in .
BTW , when I bought my ZmaR (pre-owned) , I didn't get the owner's manual
. Searched the net too - couldn't find one
. If anyone could lend me one , I'm willing to scan the whole thing and post it for everyone .
I don't remember posting what you have included as originally posted by PSR ...I definitely will not ask if one horn and one headlight can be connected to the same relay..Originally posted by acs1207 View Post
The engine ,carburetor, and all engine parts are still from HONDA Japan...guess the way it is put to-gether is different now.Originally posted by truelypulsarian View PostGuys one of my classmates one month old white 2011 karizmas engine is producing strange sounds when compared with the other karizmas i mean its louder and harsh some times i can clearly listen the tappets sound all the time

So it will be good,Shall i try it instead of gulf?Originally posted by psr View PostYamalube 20w40 is also made by Motul.
Yes,guess its the part 13 screws near part 7.I meant the parts manual uploaded by me..the expanded parts manual will show in detail the exhaust assembly.There are two more screws to be undone..
Actually i was thinking why you are asking questions to us!I don't remember posting what you have included as originally posted by PSR ...I definitely will not ask if one horn and one headlight can be connected to the same relay..
Now its sure that it was an error.
Might be,Lot of problems now with new bikes.!!The engine ,carburetor, and all engine parts are still from HONDA Japan...guess the way it is put to-gether is different now.

replies in bold...Originally posted by Aneesh@4GHz View PostSo it will be good,Shall i try it instead of gulf?
yes you can

Correct
Actually i was thinking why you are asking questions to us!
Now its sure that it was an error.
Now I am a bit worried on how what I had not said is coming through as my post.


Might be,Lot of problems now with new bikes.!!
I think it is actually because of better perception now, plus the fact that Hero Motors uses the factory for one single day for ZMA production and rest of the days is the 100cc bikes...so switching between these two productions,that too for just one single day is contributing to the problem..When Was The Last Time,You Did Something For The First Time.

I also checked the reflector in detail after your postOriginally posted by selvin rebz View Postused high beam for just 5 minutes not more than that.

poor built quality and even i am suffering from tensioner problem since 1st service ,which was done at 230kms 

. There is a white fog like formation ( the same as when you see on the inside side of windshield in cars during rain ) is it the same in your bikes case?
. If yes then i got a reflector burn too

The heat fade of reflector will start near the Bulb , which is the source of heat.Originally posted by Vishakh View PostI also checked the reflector in detail after your post
