My bike’s (GS150R’s) maximum power output is at 8500 rpm and I know how difficult it is to reach that level. That is why I questioned a friend’s claim of reaching 129 kmh on that bike.

105 kmh is Karizma’s speed above 7000 rpm. I have no solutions to increase this speed other than modifying the final drive ratio for speed which I do not support as it is like modifying a 100 cc bike’s gears with Hayabusa's, hoping to ride at its speed.

And I don’t think a bike’s ability to reach 120 or more kms speed after riding through an empty plain stretch of 3-5 kms in prayer mantis or ‘sashtanga namaskara’ stance with fully opened throttle is its plus point. More than that, Karizma is not designed as a racing bike.

We have a lot of other positives of Karizma to discuss. Then why this nasty “maximum speed” topic? Let us drop it.

hey brothers.. i have oil leak at gear shaft..what is causes of this?only small amount of oil near gear shaft. is there any problem i continue with this still my second service

Yes of course.

Yes you can . But go for the new model grips . Part number "53166KRY980" & " 53140KRY980"

some time excessive chain oil drip at gear lever side so just confirm...check engine oil level more frequently

hey brothers.. i have oil leak at gear shaft..what is causes of this?only small amount of oil near gear shaft. is there any problem i continue with this still my second service

tanks bro..i dont lubricate chain..checking oil level

To the left of the Gear shifter is the Neutral switch connector. This goes all the way into the gear assembly which is in oil....There is an "O" ring on it, and if it fails , then oil will start to bleed out....

Hi, Am new to this forum, I bought a pre-owned 06 ZMA, everything else is fine, but the cold start is real trouble. I am not able to start my bike (both kick/Self) in morning while going to office and in the evening while coming back from office. While running it never stops.
I reported this issue to ASS, but they are not able to solve it. After searching the forum here, i tried cleaning the hole in the top of the tank, replaced spark plug. I even tried to open the tank lid and then start (sometimes it works and sometime doesn't works). I have a KNN fitted to it.

Can someone please help here.

Hi, Am new to this forum, I bought a pre-owned 06 ZMA, everything else..

I don't understand what you want to convey here. If you do not know, i will explain you again. Power is peak at 7000 rpm, and it doesn't mean that power becomes zero after 7000 rpm. Power and torque are curves and there will be a peak at certain rpm. Even after 7000 rpm, there is power that can move the bike further till it redlines. PSR sir mentioned above that for each 1k rpm Karizma does 15 kmph, which equals to 126 kmph true speed at 8.5k rpm (on speedo it would be around 135-140 kmph due to speedo error at high speeds). Don't argue again here that Karizma's speed is 105 kmph again; and if you do, we just simply ignore you pardoning your ignorance)

And your GS150R is just 150cc and 150kgs, and power output is less, so it takes ages for your bike to reach 8000 rpm. Karizma has a 223cc engine and has more power and torque than GS150R and so it reaches 8.5k rpm quickly and in more relaxed manner. I don't know what you want to say by mentioning GS150R here.

And, a normal Karizma can do 125 kmph true speed (speedo 135-140 kmph) and no modifications required. Karizma can do 125 kmph and so we bought this bike; otherwise we would have selected lower cc bike.



I have to laugh at your ignorance. There is a force called 'gravity', pull of the center of the earth and we are all walking on earth because of its pull. Miraculously it works on the bikes too. If a bike tries to climb up a slope, the gravity would pull the bike back. Also we all are in a medium called 'wind'; and if there is an opposite wind, the bike will take ages to reach speed. And if the wind is tooooo strong, it would make the bike do 'sastanga namaskara' and there by the person riding on the bike also do 'sastanga namaskara.'

So, to reach top speed, you need favorable conditions like plain road and wind in your direction. If these two forces work against you, your bike takes ages and ages to reach top speed.




We are not here to just discuss the positives of Karizma. We are here to discuss everything about this bike. Is there any rule that we should not talk about top speed? And BTW, its you who talked about the top speed with wrong information. If Karizma is not going beyond 105 kmph, certainly it has some problem, and thats what a member asking for a solution. If you can't give any inputs on whats wrong, you can remain silent. You can't just talk about changing final drive ratios for a problem in the bike. There is no need to change final drive ratios for a Karizma to go beyond 105 kmph; the engineers at Honda have already changed the final drive ratios of the bike to reach 125 kmph true speed. If you have any issues with that, please shoot a mail to them.

hey Ravi, thanks for the open blunt and your true views regarding my problem. do u suggest me to re-tune the bike? is there a problem with my gear box clutch plates or piston? and also my engine makes a lot of noise. usually in zma i have noticed that the engine is silent and the only thing u can hear is its appealing exhaust firing, but mine doesnt please help godbless

Is tube less tire is good option ?
