    My idling is fine, when the bike is at standstill there is no need fr me to twist the accelerator, and the bike stalls on Accelerating

    Ok Sir, I will check this out today evening

The NGK number is DPR 8 EGP.
      Iridium is expensive and not warranted, and G power is VFM.

      Thank you sir. I will go for NGK g-power in a couple of hours. I will post my experience soon.

          It must be available with the NGK authorised dealer in your area or with any reputable Spare Parts dealer..In Chennai it is available for Rs.140/-

                Last weekend during the road trip to Meghamalai, happened to meet Ravi and Pabi from AP. And it was nice to have a ZMA lined up from Red, White, Blue and Yellow (Steve). Already shared the pic in FB. Best part was the Blue color ZMA belongs to Pabi which is a rare sight.

                Also there is going to be a Mega Inter-State Meet coming up in November 2012. Apart from Phanikar, not sure how many ZMA owners from this thread will be participating. So far, bikers Tamil Nadu, Karnataka, Kerala and Maharastra(Pune) are interested. Anyone interested kindly check my signature for details.

                  yesterday i got NGK G-power (DPR8EGP) for 210 Rs. But i didn't find any noticeable difference as I rode about 60+ kms (not constantly)
                  I seems everything is similar to the stock one. I hope it would return better mileage.

                  @PSR sir, have you changed the power cord for NGK G-Power?? and also, is it recommended ??

                      If you mean the Ignition cable from the coil to the spark plug..then NO. The stock ZMA comes with non resistive straight cable which is the best as it passes the entire power from coil to the spark plug. Don't get taken by claims of any manufacturer.....stick with the stock cable.....nothing is better .

                      There will be two pipes side by side...the one with open end is from the Petrol tank Cap side(to drain water that accumulates during rain or washing) and the one with cap is from the bottom of the Air Filter box to accumulate the excess blowby oil in the filter box.

                            I get 37 to 40 in city and 44 to 46 on highway at 90~110 kmph....So you are likely to get the same good average..

                              Been a long time since I've been to any rides. Most of the members here dont know me either. I would try and join this ride though. Thanks for putting it up here

                              • Can anyone post the price of the front fairing including and excluding the headlight assembly?
                                A guy at the ASC said that the price has been increased, and my cousin got the "left" part of the fairing alone for Rs2300 and he further added that the same part for older Karizma's were around Rs1400 :/
