      Will be going to the HH SC tomorrow. Any ideas as to what could be the problem area..?
      I think it's only a routing issue. Just get it checked.

        I hope that's the case too. They are so darn lethargic when it comes to any sorta warranty repairs
        The throttle gets stuck in clsoe proximity to the 'fully closed' position. And if i din't manually push the throttle back, it remains there. So, im wondering if its a splayed cable..

          There are actually two wires that form the throttle cable in a ZMA.

          Chances are, one of 'em is broken. Or stuck. In either case, replace both, unless it turns out to be a routing issue (unlikely).

            Yup..
            Im aware of that pull-push system. Its gonna be a pain to convince the jerks for any replacement though. My bike's done roughly 830kms and already the SC lethargy is pissing me off...

              It must be a cable routing issue. I had faced a similar problem and the culprit was the push cable routing.

                Hey Guys, I had given my ZMA to the service center due to a knocking issue.
                The bike works well after a cold start, but 15 mins of riding the bike in traffic (when the engine heats up a little) causes it to knock when pulled from the 1st to the 5th gear.
                I spoke to the mechs at the service center and they said it might be a problem with the carbon being accumulated at the valves, and it would have to be cleaned.
                Is that true..?

                P.S: My bike has run 1900 kms and is just 4 months old.

                  ^^^Absolutely not true... unless you used some really bad petrol or something. Always try and avoid getting the engine opened.

                  I suspect your valves might not be properly adjusted.

                          hey dude, dont worry.. go ahead shooting the mail .. i hav seen the effect..
                          i am from mumbai & had mailed to this addresses :
                          [email protected],
                          [email protected]
                          [email protected]

                          Fyi : I had a major problem with clutch plates in the beginning i got my bike, the sc people didnt resolved the problem permanently.. u wont believe i changed 3 clutch plates in 6 months.. i was depressed & finally draftet a huge mail in pain & sent to the above addresses. Though i didnt got any reply, but the affect to this was a Phone from my sc's manager & insisted to get my bike ASAP. My problem just disappeared permanently never occured. Infact they where saying me "Kya saab, naraz ho gaye kya.. Upar tak jane ki kya jarurat thi.!"
                          it does make an effect, trust me.!

                              Blade, it is too early to shoot a mail to higher officials. Why do not you take your bike back and drain all the petrol and fill fresh petrol to rule out if the problem is due to adultrated petrol which is very well possible; the fact that your bike developed this issue very recently justifies this. If possible why do not you take the opinion of a good mechanic outside?

                                I have not had a good experience with emailing Hero Honda. They are not at all responsive... like TVS for eg. I strongly suggest you just phone everywhere... and demand to speak to the top person. Also try and get the ph number of the area company service engineer. Get him to have a look at your bike.

                                Also check out your manual for contact details.
