    The color of the old oil suggests I was naive ...
    And boy..was it thick !!!

    Hav got owner's manual -soft copy- of ZMA-R and ZMR - finally!
    The old oil sure looks bad...like thick Tar..good you changed oil...The Gulf oil is Golden yellow isn't it ? I think your Red shirt reflects in the oil making it look like red.

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.
        Speed and glitches are two differen things here..

        1. Your bike is performing well, when you do not experience any abnormalily from what you have experienced earlier. (Simple check).
        2. If the bike does good over a 100kmph doesn't mean the bike is glitch free.
        3. Glitches is a broad category and cannot be generalized. Clutch, gear shifts, throttle response, braking, engine noise - tappets etc valve clearance are considered to be the integral part of performance of the bike. Any of these diminish in their standard would result in performance.

        I would say, regularly service, change oil and maintain a good riding behaviour would ensure some lasting performance. So don't worry and enjoy every beat (oops! two stroke mentality).

          So the perfomance is good . Am really satisfied with the bike but the thing is i love my ride so much that i double check everything. Its really helpful to have genius people like you are here to help us newbies out .

          And one disappointment is that i have never got a chance to ride a two stroke beauty till now

                I ain't 'G' of genius. It's barely 6 months where I'm into 4joke, sorry 4 stroke section.

                I would say is it good for you in a way. Its more addictive than .. (left for your imagination).

                  Yes sir . .it was real thick - no wonder Vineeth said my bike was rough when he rode it last week . Today rode @ 25 km , but no ripping . The ride seems better . The oil was reddish in color . If it should be golden yellow , then I was duped . BTW -ain't my shirt -didnt want to get my hand oily in the morning and also wanted to see how it was done , heard it was easy to break the oil drain nut . Now I know - use a 17 size ring spanner .

                  Same here - didn't take the balance 100 ml . I go there occasionally to tighten a nut or sumthing .

                  Where can I upload those ? Which file sharing site (free) is good ? It was a search and rescue so I dont remember the site I d/l-ed it from . BTW those are Owner's manual , not Service manual , OK ? Instead of scanning , they'd snapped pics of the pages and converted it to a pdf file . It's clear enough .

                    I've ( and Vineeth too ) been trying to get a crash guard for ZMAR ..........................................
                    .........................................
                    ........................................


                    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 ?
                    Please --someone know whose bike this is ? Or at least which crash guard it is ? There's SUNNY sticker-ed on the fairing sides .

                      The oil is red colour,I had posted the pic of the oil earlier.
                      and i am going to get a spare Drain bolt and oil filter soon for my ZMA.

                      Keep it,We can use it for a small topup.

                      Where can I upload those ?
