      below is a pic of Sri anna's (left) and mine!

        Not sure if it has anything to do with leaning the bike, but am abit confused on the same.

        Only if the problem escalates you should pay specific attention.

        • Clean the area with kerosene or diesel and check again,If its from the drain bolt area,then the Drain Bold O-Ring needs replacement.

              Might be worth checking chain slacks.

Ultimately in summer months (from march) you'd need a 20w40 oil like the motul or gulf .. too hot for 10w30 to handle after that here IMHO .
                Better get the battery fully charged externally (from exide shop) once monthly for the first 3-6 months . It needs this cycling/formatting to get to full capacity .
                You did damn ryt to punch that guy .
                yes there is an issue with my battery as waiting to get a 9AH amaron fit in my bike as my battery is gone to some extent and i bought the hh oil from bansal motors me and sunny together not sure about the manufacturerand they charged 200 for it
                Yes punching was good though , after creating a mess he did not show that decency to say sorry and apart from it neglecting the fact that he was playing the shit like a kid with accelerator cable.

                    Well said sir..ashwin, even my bike has some/many anonymous sounds coming from the engine when it is in idle and it started from day 3..even sri anna know about that.But I didnt want to take it to the service centre or mechanic often and spend much time at the garage scrathching my head for those.Every automobile has/creates some issues even if you have maintained it like a precious diamond.spend a weekend for your bike..take it for a spin of about 200+kms..spent some hours together riding this machine..feel it..enjoy it..just get to know the maximum pleasure offered by this machine. if it creates any problems during these endurance rides, then its worth worrying for it. otherwise just leave it, since little tweaks and issues are common in any mechanical motor. karizmas do magic on the roads and makes you smile all through the way as it does for me!Cheers

                      Sir, today something extremely strange happened, since my bike's drain thingi was plugged, water got into the tank and bike totally stalled on me today just a km away from home. And would'nt start no matter what I didnt have time to push the bike a kilometer back home, waa about to leave the bike there and catch the bus, then 2 friends on an FZ showed up, one of the guys lied down my bike on its gear side the other was shaking the bike by bouncing on the footpeg's then they put the bike upright pulled the choke lever to the max and throttle to the max and started the bike, it fired all the way till 9.6K and they kept it like that for say 5mins or so, and the bike was fine.

                      Now all this while you'd be wondering what I was doing... I was lying on the side of the road having a STROKE!!! with bubbles and all coming out of my mouth, when these guys were rapping my ride.

                      But strangely the bike was ok and never missed a beat, the part that worried me today was the bike wasnt even properly warmed when these guys did this. But from that I learnt a valuable lesson, the more care you give towards a materialistic thing, the more it hurts you. So having all this done to my ride, gave up on run-in at 1200Kms. And started taking pillion, on the way back bike touched 110Kmph doubles. Which made me feel happy and calm, the AFR's at 3 Turns, and I might end up keeping it like that, cause the accelerations awesome.

                      And sir, another strange thing observed. But before ending up saying something stupid. Does leaning out the engine have anything at all to do with backpressure while engine braking???

                      Bingo, I've got enough chain slack that when my bikes about to run low on fuel the bike does stop and go the chain bangs like hell, I sometimes feel its going to rip off my sprockets.

                      Yup, after todays incident am following sriram sir's policy, ignore all the sounds as long as you dont feel any change in performance. I even started lending my ride to the needy.

                          pilot lamps come in various sizes....to be specific see the picture of your order and go for it...... as i dont know the nomenclature of pilot bulbs i cant tell you exactly but see the picture below these type of bulb fits for karizma


                          if you want to check and measure the size in mm by removing fairing then bro it is 5mins job but i'll recommend you to measure size on any stock pilot bulb.....................!!!
                          Yes, but the pilot lamp space in Karizma ZMR is bigger than that in Karizma R. And yes it is a small job but having exams these days so not getting time to try anything in the bike.

                          though they picked the bike but when i blamed him for touching my accelreation stuff he simply ignored and there was quite nice exchange of words and some little bit of pushing and punching.
                          A very bad day for me yesterday
                          Okay, try those oils also.

                          Thank you very much.

                          LOL great Sir!! I know some people who are just too sensitive when it comes to even a small bit of sound in their rides.

                          And I forgot to update on 30th November, but it was the birthday of my black beauty And, I filled its tank to the maximum(that time I was not aware that it is her birthday, later it flashed in my mind) and I was so happy.
                          Also, recent FE was 42+ Filled with Rs 500 (Rs 70.85 per litre) and ran 298 kms before it came to reserve.

                            I used to be sensitive once,but learnt the lesson the hard way.....so I am relaxed ,which helps me to concentrate on whatever I do.
                            Wish your ZMA a happy b'day...The FE you had indicated is high ..take care and ensure you are not running very lean.

                                Sir, if you think thats high then get ready for a hear attack.
                                These are my specs when I was running on 4 turns AFR(i.e till a few days back).
                                Petrol costs at the time 71.XX my daily fund 100rs my total journey 40(40.3 to be accurate)x2=80Kms daily. So 100x5 Days a week is Rs500. Total Kms covered in a week is 400Kms.. and sir also do keep in mind, I choke my ride for about 5 mins daily.

                                Not sure whats the exact cause, maybe iridiums, maybe me riding at higher rpm range... or maybe another trillion factors.

                                Don't lend your bike, then sit and cry...lending is not a good idea
                                I know, just said so in spirit, and since my spirits taken a weeny dive since the last few mins, am surely going to re consider.
