Dont know much about what it costs for various parts charges as it has not been even a week into owning this. Once i get the bill i will post the breakup.
EDIT: One more thing i remember, handle bar to be replaced (400). The bike was for sometime away from Bangalore and probably it fell off while transporting.

@Sunny thanks for the diagnosis. I never knew that "air lock" could be the culprit. Though i will say that the problem surfaced only after i filled about 7 lts of fuel on Saturday.

Lets see how well ASC does the job.

Okay no problem. And actually, for me "air-lock" doesn't care about the amount of petrol in the tank, it can happen anytime

Plus, you sure that you're getting handle bar at Rs 400? Even mine needs a replacement, but the SVC guys told around 700 bucks

Till then I'm managing with slightly bent one, not so problematic though, but I want a change.

Ashwin bro, be in touch with that lights experiment, I'm seriously gonna bug you once I'm back to Calcutta.

Ya that's what i remember him scribing on the Job Card. I thought even 400 is too expensive.

Alright, do post the exact costs once you get the bill.

Thanks Ashwin

How is everyone doing?
Anybody tried testing the 0-60 or 0-100 kph timing?

I guess it will be sometime before i ask a query, but luck has other plans. I am facing an issue with the ZMA-R i have. After starting (kick/self) as soon as i twist the accelerator (even by slightest movement of wrist) the engine shuts off. This happens irrespective of whether engine is hot or cold (idling is at 1000 mark). Today morning the bike started in 4-5 kicks but 500 m ahead at a speed hump the bike stopped and i could not get it to move even though engine would start every time. I had no choice but to push it to my apt which was close by. After 5 mins i tried again and this time the engine did rev up so i drove to my office. I will be giving the bike to service at Bhagat Motors on Whitefield Rd in couple of hours. Till then can any one tell me what the issue could be ?

I had posted many times the reason for the type of problem you are facing......loose contact in CDI connector..

Guess every "active" member had read this judging by the help you are getting.

**shubhamAT** · 01-04-2012, 12:04 AM

I was waiting for you reply sir. Thanks.

This is what came to mind first since psr sir had the same problem and he had detailed the remedial measures he had taken .

Just read the related post this morn and your case was what came into my mind first . I thought Ashwin would remember that - since he generally is thorough . May be it skipped his mind . Let's see if it gets rectified when it's returned from ASC . If not rectified then check CDI connector and spark plug connection .
Also , I don't think engine will shut down if acc is given "even by slightest movement of wrist" if it's a lean AFR problem . I mean , the bike was being used and all of a sudden it has this problem .
Meter resetting could be due to some circuit problem ( which I doubt very much unless the wiring has been tampered with ) or low battery .
BTW , I had started an experiment to deal with the same problem and had detailed it in this thread . Sadly I couldn't complete it since (happily) I had converted to a 9Ah battery and it never troubled me again.
Anyways, shubhamAT , keep us updated .

Nope, did'nt skip my mind, but that's a secondary remedial measure if the first one fails i.e according to me, since when I had faced this issue I just retuned the AFR according to psr sir's instruction i.e 4 turns and the issue was gone, thats why I first mentioned the AFR, and if he'd failed in rectifying it then I would've mentioned about the CDI connector. Its like you cut your hand and the first thing you'll do is try to fix it yourself, and if that fails then you'll go to the hospital, its something like a reflex thingi, sorry .

Also , I don't think engine will shut down if acc is given "even by slightest movement of wrist" if it's a lean AFR problem . I mean , the bike was being used and all of a sudden it has this problem .

My bike when bought new from the showroom was perfect, it would start in the first press of the button and all, but a few days later, it showed its true nature and would take multiple tries to start and if the engine would shut off while throttling from idle, then I posted this issue and got it sorted out by keeping AFR at 4 turns.

OT.
Same happened with a guys P220(2011 Black, newer than my ride.) I saw sometime back, it was running on Green and that too a one designed for cars, I saw him at a club(@Aneesh - Asramam Kallukada) near my house, he was showing off and telling I've done 110Kmph tops and my bro is a racer and he's done 120kmph And its all thanks to Green, anyways I wanted a demo, so I started his bike and the moment I feathered the throttle the bike died, so he said we have to open the throttle a little before starting and we should'nt give sudden acceleration, else the bike'd stall.

Meter resetting could be due to some circuit problem ( which I doubt very much unless the wiring has been tampered with ) or low battery .

Talking about the meter resetting, recently came to notice, my bikes meter and clock resetting, but the thing is am not able to point out whats the cause, because usually, when the battery's weak and we do something like use pass or honk horn it should reset, but mines not resetting like that, it just rarely happens and that too without any intervention from my side.

Meter resets when we drain the max from battery using self,otherwise the battery will be weak.

i do have the same problem, reason battery is weak. Needs a change. Every now and then it gets reset. Some times the bike is not on just the ignition is on and if i use discbrake then also it will get reset. Also i have noticed during my night drive when Hid is on, whenever i honk horn the light will be bit weak, same thing happens when signal light is turned on. Please tell me which battery should i go with. Amaron is failure thats what i heard from one of my mechanic and one battery shop. They give 2 years warranty but if any time we need a change it will take minimum 10 days for replacement so i have not moved ahead with amaron 9 amp mf. Please suggest me 9 amp battery which is best and can last long.
Thanks

Amaron is working fine for me till now.For 9Ah you have Bosch 9AH battery,not sure about price.Then Exide 7Ah MF battery is available.
