Thanks for verifying sir, when you mentioned increased engine sound, I assumed it to be from the change in stroke, but now I guess its just cause the engines in run in period.

The thing about deck size is a valid reason and a must. But compensation for increase in compression sounds disagreeable, especially since the mod was done with the intention of bumping compression. Or maybe I missed something.

Confused.

+100000 Agreed!!! . Have also heard of ZMA's being bored to the limits using car pistons as well as Pulsars being bored beyond 300cc mark.

If everything goes as expected, then I guess this mod will be epic, atleast for guys like me who cant afford to cross states to get it done.

Thats what I used to believe up and untill I owned the ZMA, these bikes are'nt manufactured the way they manufacture cars. They are assembles and put together by hand, and hence theres a greater chance of error.

@Aneesh-
Do you remeber the first time we removed my fairing???? Even before us touching the fairing the rubber's on both sides were misaligned and one of em was even popping out, we had applied super glue to keep them in place. BTW they're still in perfect place.

And my fairing, the stupid thing was rattling like anything, I had to do an overhaul with double sided tape to fix the issue, and havent faced much issues with it till now. (Except for a few squeaks caused by inferior double sided tape, which was replaced.)

Now coming to the finale. Many bikes in the first batch of 2011 ZMA's have faced issues regarding a mis aligned cylinder kit, which caused the gudgeon pin to scratch the cylinder wall. Many users have ignored the wierd engine sound and continued riding the bike, but a few us, stood strong and convinced the SVC's open up the engine and hence finally found the root cause and hence solving it within warranty itself.

So if you ask me what I've learnt from the above, then its that, we should never ever believe anyone or anything, unless the thing in question has been personally prepped by our own hands.

You can either approach Diya cause they now stock everything, else, IIRC you have an Alto right???? Check its fuse box for spares. If lucky will get a 7.5A.

@ ashwin - If you know what to do , it'd cost you just a weekend bash - well maybe total cost of a month's weekend bashes ....!!! It ain't that DIY though ! BTW , ur fone seems to be switched off .

had chnged fork spring yesterday,now supension works flawlessly...observed those old fork spring they are same in size since my old pulsar fork spring got reduced in length ....

Sir, I dont bash, its just me and my ride. Thats why am so much confident in doing the mods, actually a few months ago, was just a step away from getting my bike Joel'd, had contacted him and arranged the funds and everything, but the idea of crossing states brought fear, especially since I dont have my documents. But I guess riding upto Kannur wont be a fuss at all.

Anyways your lucky Im not from Kannur, else would've pestered you alot.

And sir, are you using metal gaskets???

OMG!!!!!! Completely forgot about my phone!!!!
We were facing constant power cuts for the past week(Hope, you've heard about the disasters.), so had kept phone aside, and it seems I've eventually lost track of it.
Will get it running asap.
And sir check your pm.

The ZMA head gasket that comes between the top head and the bore is made of metal and consists of three layers..the top , and bottom layers are 0.01 thickness while the center one is about 0.5.....

Can anybody get me karizma speedometer under case...???

I just noticed a 2012 ZMA yesterday with rear-disk.
The bike was redg in KL and was shocked to see the rear-disk on it. Haven't seen this on the web-site or even on any other 2012 ZMA in Bangalore. Is this just one-off bike or now the ZMA's are coming with rear-disk.

Its a modded one i guess. No rear brakes as OEM on ZMA-R AFAIK.

You better be kidding, else am going to take a huge BAZUKA and head for the Munjals's residence.

Anybody knows whats the hole in the black side panel of Karizma in the above pic? Never seen it before. It appears factory-made.

^^I would think it is for the air duct. Correct me if I'm wrong.

Ravi bhai, can you add the pic as xBhp attachment.

I have never seen on any other Karizma-R, or may be I am noticing it for the first time.

Done Inder.

I also didn't see it on my ZMA..Don't know whats that for..

ZMA petrol Reserve capacity

i had noticed that the ZMA petrol reserve capacity is 1.5L and not 2L (Mention by the company).

Have anyone notice that, if so please let me know.
