I know 3.0 is fine, with slight load on the bike, but asking for 3.25

Same here Sri, what i wanted to know is if M45 3.25 is there in the front, would it be an over kill compared to 2.75,marginal difference not a problem.

3.00 is slightly bigger but not a overkill. 3.25 would be too much. Vehicle will look like a goon. Lol.

3.00 will just fit with minimal gap with mud guard, but i am not too sure about the 3.25 size...it might hit the mud guard.

3.25 at front would be an overkill. It will be heavy and affects steering/steering cone/handling.

@All :- I personally do not recommend/encourage to test top speed to show up ZMA's capabilities. There are certain ground rules for which you must adhere to. Full riding gear, private and straight road and few friends to help in case of emergency. If you don't have any one of the above stated, DO NOT try! I can only tell you but not force you NOT TO DO it, over and above just think about your family and loved ones before such unwanted acts.

+1000000 :thumbsup:

I think aneesh4ghz was using 3*18 M45 on his zma without any issues

Man 3.25 in front is going to be Overkill ... will surely affect the handling

Just to prove that the age old rumor about bike loosing performance after the engine is opened is wrong.

Grow up Ashwin,

I hate growing up!

Sir, thats an excuse every ZMA owner including myself is putting up after the P220 came out.

Its all about speed, it was about speed and will be about speed i.e coupled with a responsible rider of course.

Oops, sorry I almost forgot.

@ Ash win hope you will stop posting about your speed exploits in this thread.

Power of self is not about showing it off but in controlling it..

Sir, human understands. If otherwise..none can help it. It is even more deplorable at the stage whole country fights for fuel if such immature acts performed. For those who earn money would value their actions, for some it is transferred to their bank account!

Is 3.25 Available there? Please enquire about it before dreaming. 3.0* 18 is more than enough.

Absolutely agreed.
I hate irresponsible riders racing on the streets putting in risk many lives. I just hope such lunatics die without anyone getting hurt.
Its a pleasure riding the Karizma smoothly feeling the nature and beauty of the engineering within its control limits.

Ashwin, kindly apologize for the words and do take care of you plus other road users. I hope a responsible rider inside you, brother.

Oopsie, wasnt trying to promote unsafe riding. Just trying to show my bikes still game.

**ravi@17bhp** · 05-29-2012, 10:26 PM

Ashwin, there is nothing wrong in checking the top speed, but do it on highways, preferably a four lane highway with less traffic, and not on roads with traffic or city.

Seems my bike's front wheel bearings gone kaput. Today changed the front tyre wotj ZMR's front tyre. The tyre mechanic said the bearings have gone and showed me the slight vibration feeling in he forks when wheel is rotated. Anybody knows how easily the bearings are available and the price??

**ravi@17bhp** · 05-30-2012, 07:51 PM

Any good alternatives for front wheel bearings and cone set than the stock ones. Anybody tried any other brands?
