    Can I do something to sway you in that direction ? I have one on mine ( engine cowl taken off for the present) and Vineeth bro has one with the cowl on ( haven't seen it yet) . It doesn't look that bad and the safety it offers negates any set back in looks . I'm planning to put back the cowl though .

            Anyhow my Karizma is doing fine and has run over 13000 KMs and avearage is in between 35-40 KMPL.

            Rest is fine the bike is in fantastic condition and I am enjoying every bit of it.

            Will be more active from now on.

                Seems on the higher side. Riding style counts a lot. I have hardly seen my bike returning below 40. Accelerate gently. Avoid sudden acceleration on any gear and you might see some improvement.

                Engine oil has been discussed extensively here. In short, synthetic blend is mineral.

                      well if u want u can use hh oil (mineral) for winter orelse make your choice between motul 3000 4T plus 20w40 or gulf 4t plus 20w40 pour both the oil and check what works good for your machine in case of hh oil change at 1500km interval well as far as motul and gulf be free for 2000km or even more but still good to change at 2000k

                          Check for any short circuits.Have you fitted after market horns? check wires for direct contact with body near engine parts.

                              Take the bike to svc and get it rectified.

                                Had the same problem when bike got it checked in 3 svc but nobody was able to solve the problem then got the battery charged and fitted it tightly after since last 5 month have not faced the problem dont know its because of this or any other thing but till now have not faced the issue.

                                But a new problem has arrised yesterday gave the bike for servicing and told them to charge the battery and when i visited today they told (battery kharab hai) and after that horn is very slow and whenever i apply both brake the digital no goes invisible in the speedometer console and when i release the brake or stop using any other electrical they are back to life. the battery is stock 7amp is is 1.5 years old.
