Ok.

Will it need a replacement?I dont know about those.

Here it is:

Psr Sir's modded Zen MPFI Filter in his ZMA.

Thanks for the pic, Aneesh

Good to see you again sir,

So comming back to the point. Whats if we're not able to source the hot glue... Would FEVIBOND do the job??? And if by any chance we did source it,what brand should we be looking out for???

And sir, If you've got time, could you please take a look at my previous post regarding the yellow zma restore. Thanks in advance.

Members in this forum can give the advise based only on the description provided. Please understand that, it would not be all. The troubleshooting advise are given based only on the how best one can depict their issue in words. So personal inspection and providing the solution is always regarded the best.

To your post.

Of the issues you reported, you list out the likely cause if the bike stalled frequently etc. and trouble shoot. Could be bad fuel, air lock, air leaks, value issue etc. Ok, If I were you would do like this... of what learned from this forum, will take it one by one and trouble shoot.

There could be times we learn something new by experimenting or doing something wrong. Don't feel bad, it is the best way to learn and most of us would have gone through in a way or the other.

If your friend wants the bike to be restored in the best of the best condition, then I would suggest to rebuild the whole engine from the scratch. This would not only ensures all things, sorry thingi's are taken care but something called SATISFACTION you'll experience like never before!

After hundreds of pages in thread...
We should discussing like this -

Issue - what did you find (observation) - what did you do immediately (troubleshoot) -if did not work, post it in this forum with history of factfindings so far.

Hope I have given some plan to go ahead to help you approach the challenge.

hey ashwin, if your gonna procure spare parts could you get some for me? im finding it difficult to get spares here in tvm.jct does not sell spares and cheran does not order spares which are not fast moving.my bike crossed 30k two days back i have issues with transmission and some other niggles,the bikes due for a decarbon now.

Sure will try
Breath-ability is supposed to go up many fold .
Sir , what is the thingy you have used to seal the gap at the right side of the filter ?
If I can get a hot glue gun in Kannur , then I'm sure you can get it there .
I think Fevibond is a better option than Hot Glue in any situation. (not sure whether it's a conductor -with regard to electricity- ) Hot glue cannot be used where there is high temperature - it melts!! Hot glue guns should be available at electronic outlets .

--- hope there are no embarrassing 'quote editings' this time... ---

Intake sound changes?

In the stock setup, can I remove those nuts and any small thing from the last part of the exhaust to boost the sound to a small extent??

I doubt the breath ability will go up by many folds. It will surely go up but not by many folds.

You can even increase the breath ability of stock filter by revising the air intake route & it will be similar to what you will get using this zens filter.

I had used this air filter on Swift DDIS with revised air intake & it had shelved off 1 & 1.5 seconds in each gears..need not mention the other advantages.

Will u be keeping the other plumbing part of air intake on the bike stock ?

For all kolkata riders -
You'll get gulf/motul 1lit bottle for 200-210 Rs if you bargain a bit at ESS-Enterprise in Jadavpur ( beside KPC hospital ) . He is a genuine dealer for many oil brands in south Calcutta, I have confirmed from motul area sales manager . He stocks valvoline elf shell veedol castrol HP etc & greases & gear-oils etc too . Good guy .
If you use the 10w30 HH 4T oil , there are two small parts shops on Anwar Shah Road . From Tollygunge Phari take a left turn at the Tipu-Sultan-Masjid to enter Prince-Anwar-Shah-road . Keep looking to your right for about a 100 meters after you pass the masjid . The first shop is stocking the Tide-Water(veedol) made 10w30 HH 4T oil for 175 Rs a bottle . Tide water makes this oil in collaboration with Nippon-oil (Japan) .This is mucho better oil than the bpcl made oil commonly available at HH service @200 Rs . The second/other shop is charging 180-200 Rs for same oil or bpcl , avoid it .

Good info Sir. Next visit to South Kol implies a bottle of Gulf Pride 4T plus.

Too Costly

A small accident, Gave the bike to SVC and they charged me 11k
Each and every part has a VAT of 14% wonder why the parts are so Costly

What parts are replaced? please post a copy of the bill if you can.

Till the RX gets really started on it's 2nd gear the Kiney has advantage due to it's vario drive - that's what I heard .
Intake sound will change , but not that much I guess since the filter would still be in the air box .
I doubt whether you can do anything to the stock exhaust to make it louder without disassembling it -
Once you cut it open, you can do as you please . See pic below.The 1st one is from Karizma manual uploaded by psr




Well , I guess I was using 'poetic license'!!

How do you suppose we can revise the air intake route ? As per my view , we can drill small holes on the outer cover of the air box ( I had suggested this once here itself but got near zero support ). The air intake route as it is now is the reason for almost silent intake sound.

If we get more breath-ability then I guess we can get more mileage or we can get more pick up/top end with existing mileage .

Have plans on drilling holes on outer cover of air box and also fitting wire-mesh/plastic-mesh to existing intake to filter out bigger particles from getting in and covering the filter's surface area .

@ psr ,
sir, how many km will the zen filter last before we have to change it ?
How many km have you run your bike with it
and what is it's condition now ?

Anybody ever thought of forced air induction for ZMA R ?

It is a made in germany the printing there is as " Designed by Philips in Germany , Made in Germany " & the dealer from where i purchased it is a regulated dealer .
About the point it tending to be yellow actually the thing is in first couple of days after installing it & using i think it is white one next to the hid's but when i saw some cars having a pure white light ( not hid ) i got in mind that my bulb is yellowish white not a pure white
