          You can change it at even 1,000 Kms since the internals have already been through many Kms and only the Bore and piston have been changed.

              I am from raipur . The bike is repaired now the charge was 14135 out of which 11838 was paid by insurance company chassis was changed will search the bill and will post a scanned copy.
              The main problem was due to the blue color even though i have to change the front mudgaurd only (from body part rest were internal) but it took 15 days for only that.

              • crash guard for ZMAR

                Hi all-
                I've ( and Vineeth too ) been trying to get a crash guard for ZMAR for some time now . But it seems the guard of the Stunner which comes now is the one with the raised edges .

                Not interested in that one .

                The narrower one doesn't seems to be in stock . But have a query for the guys who've fit those -

                does it touch the front mudguard at any time ?

                Another one I've seen is the one with a bent in the middle - that I like .


                Which guard is that ? How good is that ? I think it's on the ZMAR with SUNNY written on the fairing . Don't remember who posted it . Someone recognize it ?

                BTW , rode Vineeth's Joeled ZMAR for a couple of kms last day . No chance to wring the throttle - was riding in city and was caught
                behind a couple of bus and other vehicles .
                He had the DB killer connected still seemed too loud ( when riding it ) compared to stock , but while riding behind him it seems OK . It has far better go than my ride .

                    The 10W30 oil looses it's ability to lube by 400 to 500 Kms of use....so you should go for a quality JASO MA2 certified 20W40 mineral oil.
                    You can try Gulf Pride 4T Plus or,HONDA ,20W40 Mineral oil and change it every 2,000 Kms.The heating issue in new engine is always there ,but after the running in of 1,000 + Kms it should subside.Since you are using a thinner 10W30 oil the heating and roughness in engine when it is hot will be there.
                    Change to JASO MA2 20W40 Mineral oil.

                        I have changed the engine oil - getting close to 2000 km since I purchased the bike and the guy had said he'd changed it a couple of hundred kms back . .(am I naive to believe him or what )
                        The color of the old oil suggests I was naive ...
                        And boy..was it thick !!!

                        This is the one I've put in


                        This is the color of the new oil that went in



                        Hav got owner's manual -soft copy- of ZMA-R and ZMR - finally!

                              • Today was roaming around the city till afternoon and visited 3 beaches . Got some super low traffic roads to check the top speed with pillion, Tried some four times with pillion and top speed was 120kmph not much of a climb after 120kmph. Me weighing some 62 kgs and my pillion was 72 kgs. My question is that is this normal performance of the ZMA-R ? or is my bike bike under performing? My bike is completely stock (apart from 55/60 HL). I am not trying to achieve greater top speeds but just want to make sure that my ride is not having any glitches and is remaining perfect.
