        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.
        The ZMA can be a ***** at times. But still, its an enjoyable ride.

        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.).

                Yamalube 20w40 is supposed to be made by Motul.

                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 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..

                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..

                The engine ,carburetor, and all engine parts are still from HONDA Japan...guess the way it is put to-gether is different now.

                  Yes,guess its the part 13 screws near part 7.

                  Actually i was thinking why you are asking questions to us! Now its sure that it was an error.

                    Correct

                    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..

                        Is it? Then it is the problem! How can they concentrate on all bikes?

                          Aneesh , there are at least 3 yamalubes in 20w40 . All motul made . i) Jaso MA API SM (i think) ii) Jaso MA2 API SL iii) semi-synthetic . Try to get the cheapest one (i) from a Yass .

                          Last month when I visited the dealer for insurance renewal they were totaling up the days sales , and 19 out of 24 bikes sold that day was splendors . What else can heromoto do ?

                            I also checked the reflector in detail after your post . 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.
