      Relax bro, it is even more black with my reflector, but it still throws good light and is anyday better than the stock setup atleast Anyway, your wish.

      • @ Aneesh bro: The spread of the light is just awesome with OSRAM Nightbreaker 55/60. So I have convinced myself that the reflector is a consumable part. I am not going to change this bulb.

        @ Sunny_ : you are true. The light itself is worthy enough than the cost of the reflector.
        Move on.........

          Here is the pic of my burnt reflector. The bulb I am using is, Osram Nightbreaker 55/60.
          Though, in highway run, I mostly depend on my aux lamps - both are 55/60.
          And those aux lamps are great in your Karizma, big bro!

          Can we replace our reflectors with those of a bike which uses 55w bulbs as default (like the Ninja 250R)?
          Why not the cars' reflectors get burned even when they are using 90/100w bulbs!

          Saw projectors of the Skoda Laura, oh God sexy lamps there!!! Can we buy them separately?

          Totally confused!


          One OT question, just for fun:

          Name 1 similarity between our Karizma and the Ninja 250R.
          Hint: speed

            But new one will cost you nearly 1200rs.

            They are of good quality,HH new reflectors are of low quality,My old reflector had 0 burn issues with 55/60W bulb.

            Name 1 similarity between our Karizma and the Ninja 250R.
            Hint: speed
            Speedometer reading? Max 200km/h. ???

              Or should I go for Motul 5100 or anything else? Comment with costs and life of the oil.
              Get the Gulf Pride 4T Plus 20w40 Mineral,10W30 will degrade quickly.

                I have the old R, not the 2011 one.
                Oh yeah, thats the similarity!!! Max. 200 km/h

                Thanks. I'll buy one but I'm confused how it is priced so low at just Rs. 220.
                And I'm also very much interested in Motul 5100 as big bro @onwheels suggested me, but I don't know its price. Anyone knows?

                Update: Checked! It is Rs 450 / litre. Motul 15w50 SS oil. Next is that!

                  I mean Pre-R models.

                  All mineral oils are priced in between 200~300rs.I am getting the 1Ltr bottle for 210rs here. Tried and tested by ZMA users,So nothing to worry about it. Make sure that it is an original product.

                    Again your answer is confusing. I have the pre-R only.. I think you're talking about the first Karizma. No R.

                    What tire is that in your dp?

                        Though Aneesh bro has answered, but I would like to add my 2cents.
                        Different reflector can handel different heat range. Car reflectors can handle the heat of 55/60 bulbs which comes as a stock. But the most car reflectors can withstand the heat of 90/100 bulb. The metal and glass reflector of a car can take upto 100/130 halogen bulb. You must have seen dark/blurr reflectors on few cars, thats the outcome of using high wattage bulb.
                        The aux lamps you have seen on my bike, that can withstand the heat of 90/100 bulb, being the reflector is of metal and glass. BTW, I have tested both of them with 90/100 for 15 to 20 mins constantly in testing phase, and it was so hot that I was not able to touch it even. But then I did not had the courage to use it further.
                        Move on.........

                              So can't we change our stock reflectors to those?
