Im guessing that the bulb-fusing issue happens to people who ride with the rear brake pedal partly depressed.
A lot of people ride like so which would lead to premature fusing of the bulb...I'm normally not a praying man, but if you're up there, please save me Superman.

Yes buddy i too know its a common issue..but i just want to know how it could be rectified..Originally posted by insanebiker View PostThis one bulb fusing thingy is quite common in Zma's. Not to worry. The exact reason why this happens is quite unknown.
Thats good bro..! Mine bulb got fused up after 5 days of purchasing the bikeOriginally posted by inder.cool View PostIn the span of 3.5 yrs never encountered this problem..!!
And every once in 15 days the bulb needs to be changed..!!
No buddy im not keeping the Legs on the brakes while riding..and that too i have also checked if the brake light are on while the brake is not appiled...the brake switch is perfect and the brake light lights up when the brakes are properly applied..!!Originally posted by MavericK46 View PostIm guessing that the bulb-fusing issue happens to people who ride with the rear brake pedal partly depressed.

Sure buddy. Some guys say that they didnt get that problem after they soldered the bulb to the holder instead of pjust placing it there.Originally posted by abhishek.murdeshwar View PostYes buddy i too know its a common issue..but i just want to know how it could be rectified..
Some say that they didnt encounter this problem after they changed to a 22W bulb.
Try any one of these
When everything comes ur way, u r in the wrong way ;)

And pls let me know the permanent solution for this..im fed up changing the rear brake light Bulbs..!!
This irritating problem was there with my previous zma. I atleast changed 10-12 rear brakelight bulbs.
And yes, as maverick46 told, I used to ride with the brake lever depressed.1> 2007 ZMA-R Aug '07-Sep '08 (25k kms)
2> 2009 ZMA-R Mar-09 till date (19k kms)

well, glad to know your bike is noise-less now. It really is an IRRITATING noise - that clip rubbing one. :|Originally posted by wings_of_fury View Postjust back from the SC..changed the engine oil and asked the mechanic to diagonose the error..and when i come home, i see this
wow man, i too had the same issue..the clip rubbing against the tank
however, those ppl were able to rectify it without opening the fairing
must say a good job done!
That irritating noise is all gone! Took around half hour for all this..
^^Anyhow, thanks for the inputs mate!
The bike is just awesome..done around 410kms in 5 days!
will get service done approx ~ 700kms next week..
I feel its giving me a decent mileage around ~40, will get the exact figures ones i refill again!
In my case we really couldn't locate the source of the noise after long thorough checks.
Mileage during my run-in (not motoman way) was aroung 34 before 1st service and 42 after 1st service. 36-38 overall till date (2400 km)Tough Times Never Last.

Okay, a K&N would not give any performance gain without upjetting. And if u upjet u ll lose on Fuel Efficiency even more.
Instead u can just get ur carb cleaned and tuned for better FE.When everything comes ur way, u r in the wrong way ;)

Be light and easy on the throttle. Accelerate gently.Originally posted by omkarm89 View Postin the month of feb i did get a mileage around 40,which is quiet a decent one for a zma.....n i also read the reviews of peopl talkin bout 40+ FE....

Shift gears at 3.5k ~ 4k rpm.
Check ur tyre pressure atleast once a week.
Use good quality fuel.When everything comes ur way, u r in the wrong way ;)

I want to fit osram night breaker on the bike. The query i have is, how will it perform with the stock battery? And also any idea where to get in delhi?? I was looking at Osram's website for dealers, but it didn't show any dealership .
Some of you have it fitted on the bike, so could you please post some pictures of it and what is the specification of the bulb? Is it 55/60w?
