Guys finally got my ZMA fixed after a lot of pain in the @## , firstly the bearing were dry and needed greasing which stopped the handle wobbling to some extent.....secondly the local guy messed up my shockers by putting a cheap shocker oil as he was not able to figure out the problem, finally managed to get it fixed with proper oil...now it's smooth as butter(no i can't eat it ....lol) and finally the damn vibrating sound which was disturbing me was coming from .......guess what or where? some loose nuts which hold the engine to the chassis and after tightening it problem fixed. my handle still wobbles but not as badly as before .....do i need a wheel balancing........my alloys are fine and tyres also in excellent condition......did only 8700kms on my 2 yr old Zma .."Live free, Ride Hard,Ride safe and yes always wear a Helmet".
I don't ride fast i just Fly low on a winged machine.

ok, a quick piece of information :
my zma'z front brake pads were worn out and I needed to replace them, read it some where in some thread that unicorn's are straight fir...well, but its APACHE RTR straight fit.
please note..I have got one in my bike, by Veertex or something like that...cost me only 75 rs, working good till now...and well, will remove the pads in a month's time to see the overall performance...and yes...guys...try going in for an IRIDIUM plug...cant explain the benefits rite now but believe me...IT IS SOME SERIOUS LOAD OF SH*&! a simple whack and the pick up is butter smooth,leaving for delhi in next 15 minutes on my ZMA. will tell u the overall performance of irdium and the disc pads......
byeee
happy riding!Its not about the BHP or the CC, its about one common religion called Biking!!!

Try CBZ extreme's pilot lamp. White light. The wattage is more than the normal Zma's pilot lamp.Originally posted by nabendubasu View Postwhat could be done to the pilot lamp,i have changed the stock headlight with a 60 watt osram.doesnt it look odd with yellow and white combination.
Did you try Uni's pads? Are not they straight fit?Originally posted by dcs View Postok, a quick piece of information :

Dont know how you guys get these gains from these Iriduim plugs??
After 57K kms and trying every possible(read plug and play performance mods).
Iriduim plugs,Max speed ignition cables,K&N air filter-Along with jetting(this works but slightly).Free flow proton exhaust,sprockets and what not.
Trust me nothing works(unless you are into serious engine mods),and trust me best Zma would be a stock one.
Other than spending on these mods,try Motul 300V on zma and trust me it would just go on and on.
after 57K kms my zma's still running on stock piston and bore and 80% of the time its ridden in 6K-8K rpm region.Last edited by Akshay.; 11-01-2008, 06:02 PM.

thats why my bike is stock and running as good as new, i was quoted 65K for my motorbike, but didn't sell it(the time when the full HH ad wasn't aired)Originally posted by Akshay. View PostDont know how you guys get these gains from these Iriduim plugs??

as far as oils go Akshay, i did try the 300V but in my opinion, use veedol Super swift(10w40 semi synthetic) Rs.250 per litre or Power1 & change it at 1200-1500kms interval, ur bike will do good,

got my bike after its 3rd service and fuel efficiency has improved a lot.
Before 1st service - 41km/L
After 2nd service -38 km/L
After 3rd service - 43 km/L
yesterday I got 45 km/L after filling 500 rs of fuel.how can I check if my bike is running lean.
I dont rip my bike Keep it within 5k rpm...still 45 seems high

Sheel motul 300V is just too good to try any other oil.Originally posted by sheelpriye View Postthats why my bike is stock and running as good as new, i was quoted 65K for my motorbike, but didn't sell it(the time when the full HH ad wasn't aired)

it also keeps the valves,and engine internal free of carbon deposits.
