You entered the corner from the inside, meaning either one of the two,
1. You were inexperienced.(Cause you've made the most common mistake of charging into the turn.)
2. The corner was an unexpected one.

You leaned and moved, meaning either one of the two,
1. You were once again inexperienced. (Cause leaning and moving while cornering disturbs the suspension and cause improper weight distribution.)
2. You realized that you've made a mistake while entering the curve and panicked.

Acceleration if done properly, actually saves us from a spill.

What you should've done was, before entering the corner, position yourself properly i.e hug the tank with your thighs and loosen the grip on the handlebar. Now enter from the outside, and counter steer, and lean the BIKE not YOURSELF, while applying pressure to your hips and inside arm in a downward manner to assist the lean. All the while your eyes should be locked onto the exit of the turn, cause we have a tendency of going where we look. All this while dont forget about suspension control, it's to be done by smoothly rolling on the throttle till the turn is completed. Once you properly exit the turn, you can pin your throttle to quickly bring the bike up.

Safe cornering.
If you have enough spare time, I suggest you search youtube for some Keith Code videos.

@Sunny/Ashwin:- I would cut down the gear to stay in powerband to quickly exit the corner. Anyways, I would not give advise on conering as it is completely different when experienced on road. So it is learned in baby steps and time will make us more comfortable.

well i believe going through these instrction while driving is difficult if your destiny is to fall than u will even if you are a pro biker, yes one need to take precaution and avoid such circumstances.
As i have seen sunny driving and he is not at all a rookie driver is just that he might have lost control and the rest destiny.

kieth code vidoes was a good one! really have been watching them from long and even suggested many of my frnd and it really helps that way watching videoes .

can anyone help me out to adjust the stock headlight...

is there any screw to adjust the spreadness of the headlight ?


till now i have found one screw in the left side of the headlight ; but that is only adjusting the height ...

now the situation of my bike is as if there is no headlight ; i.e it has become useless.

^^ Have a Look HERE.

Please use atleast Google Search to find these.

Glad you are ok and no serious injury...Slowing into a curve and accelerating out of it is the way to do it, but you must know your, and your bike's limitations..
Get well and Ride Safely...

Ashwin bro is there with troubleshooting everytime. Thanks.
Yes, I'm inexperienced I admit it... Next answer in reply to PSR Sir.

Yes Sir, definitely a point but when really focussed on fast laps on a track and I was riding in streets.

hahaha Thank you very much

Thank you, Sir.

To clear out the doubts and my mistakes:
1. There was a Figo in front and a CBZ X in parallel
2. I overtook them both from left (no space in right, Kolkata narrow streets), just after overtaking there was a sharp left bend and as I was in in the leftmost line, I slowed down and moved right so that I could enter the corner from outside and entered the corner, then started accelerating, there was an oncoming vehicle with high beam which distracted me and maybe leaned a bit more to stay away from the oncoming lane and at that point, the acceleration was enough to move the rear wheel spun faster and it was no more rolling without slipping and resulted in a rear wheel skid!

• Tires are old (24k+ kms)
• dusty surface, so no proper friction to allow proper cornering at such speed

• The Figo and CBZ in my lane plus the vehicle in the oncoming lane all were at high beam , so lack of concentration on the corner.

Update: Today I got the foot peg issue fixed with a jugaad kind of technique and also got the handle bar issue rectified and and... rode to college and back to home
and and and going for a trip this Sunday with my cousin.
and and and and service is still pending since last 3400 kms (although had an oil change in between)

If you are on the stock MRF rear tires, look no further for your skid...it is the pathetic tire property...even yesterday when my rear tire got wet due to a water tanker leaking water on the road,when I mildly touched the rear brake at 40 Kmph the rear started dancing,and slowed bike with the front brakes.....I know of this problem and I ride with rear tire pressure at 28 to 26 only to improve grip...
Look out for a sticky buttoned tire profile for better grip...like MRF MOTO D or C profile.
Good luck Ride Safe.

When it comes to adjusting headlights, two things comes to mind.
1. The beam angle. i.e. High, low, left, right.
2. Focus, or throw.

Most vehicles/bikes has ability to adjust the angles (1) as the focus (2) are set from factory.

A small explanation may be in order to understand why.

For focus, bulb and reflector must move independently. Example, pushing the bulb forward or backward relative to the reflector will result in shifting focus. There is no headlight I came across that allows to adjust this. Except for some very old torches.

In headlights, the bulb and reflector are fixed. Headlights have nuts to turn the reflector, so when reflector is turned either up, down, left, right, both bulb and reflector move in unison. Hence can change the beam angle.

Thanks @Aneesh..

the screw is only to adjust the height of the beam but not the focus.

Thanks @kaynmantis..

You made it clear to me ...

so is there any way to adjust the focus in ZMA ??

I already found the screw to adjust the Hight of the beam.

As kaynmantis had explained, the position of the bulb will change the focus of the headlight. This is fixed at an optimum position when your bike comes from the factory but if you really want to change it you can try some spacers between the bulb and the bulb holder as PSR sir had once suggested..

Meter problem in karizma

Hey guys, I have some strange problem with the meter. Total kilometers get changed when the trip meter comes at .8
What could be the problem? Is it a time to replace?

Yeah its hard but not impossible, practice makes perfect.

+ A Million. Really boosted my confidence while riding,braking and cornering, even helped me manage both rear and front wheel spins while cornering through corners with loose sand particles.


Seriously??? Man , mine are just 9K old and even yet mine skids at times. Bikes come and go, but we've got to make sure that we're there to see that happen. So I suggest its high time you upgrade to a set of soft compounds, me planning on the same and have been saving up cash for it also.



@ Everyone -
Yesterday night did a 260+ Km's ride on my ZMA(From KNPY~PONMUDI & Back.) So that makes a total of 460+ Km's that I've completed using the Yamalube, Riding was continuous since it was a checkpoint ride(We went there to take a pic of the checkpoint and come back.) the bike showed signs of heating only during the first 40Kms of riding i.e in traffic, then when we entered the highways that issue was also gone and the engine was running cooler than normal(Tested by touching the crank case with my leg). There was absolutely no loss in engine performance, it was the same from the beginning to the end. The only notable issue was that the tranny started acting up, while upshifting at lower rpm's and downshifting at higher rpm's, but thats nothing new, so ignored it like usual and continued riding, the best speed attainable was 105Kmph, average riding speed was 90~100Kmph. Yeah and was riding with a pillion.

Guys Any one of You using Cramster Tank bag in your bike? Need first hand review from fellow KARIZMA OWNERS
