        Wish u a safe journey back home. Doesn't Amaron come with 5 years warranty? I mean, it died within 15-16 months? That's certainly not good.
        Got a $5 head? Get a $5 helmet.

          It comes. But no way to carry the defect home.

          • My zma's braking has become very poor. Today when i examined the front disc pads and disc plate, the disc pads were fine but the disc was fully scratched and had undulations. can the disc be cut on lathe machine like its done for cars or should i get a new disc. If new disc is the only way then please suggest if i have to get an OEM or any other good alternative.

                Same issue, my rotor was scratched up pretty bad, due to delayed break pad replacement. Replaced with RTR pads and they got over even before I knew it, now when I brake at high speeds sparks fly from the front, and I hear an awful sound as well. I've ordered RTR Petal Disk from TVS SVC, costs around 1.2k they were'nt sure about the exact cost. Its a direct fit for the ZMA, after it arrives will then try to go for the N250R pads. In short braking Nirvana!

                  I was also thinking for an RTR disc swap but had a doubt if the radius is same or not. HH OEM disc plate is rs1350. And i think that RTR has 6 bolts while ZMA has 5 if i am not wrong(not sure). But if its a direct fit i think its the best option.

                    There is a service station in bhubaneswar for amaron. The name is rajdhani battery care. It is in cuttack road, just after kalpana square. If possible contact them, they will be able to help.

                    • Current condition of UNI Dual Stage Foam Filter. Remarkably better than previous experiences.



                      My custom ArrowHead Crank Case Breather.



                      Replaced stock filter compartment with Windtones.



                      How it looks in a nutshell.



                      Closer look of rear Dunlop Monster Trail 110/90/18, Pay close attention and you'll see that the mid region wears out faster, Yeah! Its soft compound, which is a mystery since its a Trail tire.



                      Front Michelin Sirac Street 3.00/90/18, Handling's been a *****, bike feels heavier. But you gets used to it after a few 100kms.



                      Big difference is ride height.



                      Center stand is useless now, just roll the bike backwards and its on main stand before u know it.




                      Bike retains same height with and without the center stand.

                      • Hi all friends. After much reading through the forums finally decided to buy the Karizma-R. May be will buy it within this week. So, the dealer guy(Prakash Motors, Lalbagh Road) was trying to sell these things below with the bike:
                        1. Wheel lock - 250 Rs
                        2. Remote lock - 990 Rs
                        and other numerous small things like brake rubber pad, Grip.

                        So, just want to know should I get these with the bike or better to get it outside? Also any specifics to look for when taking delivery of the bike.
                        Read a lot of people saying about the rear tyre being not that great in rain, but decided lets hang on to the stock bike and do these changes later, Is this right decision guys?

                        Thanks for your input.
                        Enjoy every minute of life. Don't waste it. sigpic

                        • Wheel lock good, Remote lock not a good idea.
