Re: Karizma/Karizma R

Been running on the R3x for quite a while now, and if you think the oil is smooth, then wait till you complete 2k on it, it gets even smoother, now its been 3.7~4k, its still smooth but changing for the sake of it. And It seems I've exhausted 10 O Rings in the past 1 year, my last pack was empty, so had to go and get a new pack, costs 65rs.

And on the way back stole, Aneesh's funnel, which is made especially with the ZMA in mind.

Re: Karizma/Karizma R

As suggested by the SVC mech,Bought Hero Splendor's Front Drum Brake Shoes Instead of Karizma's Rear Brake Shoes and the result was very good.Brake is very good now.

Costed me 120rs. Materials used in both brake shoes are different,In zma it offers more life but less braking power whereas in Splendors,Life is less,say 10000kms but braking is very good.

Re: Karizma/Karizma R

My bike has run for around 19000KM and both breaks are stock. Though the front disc is still efficient, the rear brakes have started loosing their bite. Please suggest me how to judge whether its time for rear brakes replacement and from where i should get the replacement? Service center or normal spare part shop which stocks Hero spare parts? What will be the cost?

The Glow is minimal and you can ignore it....the problem is in the Earth return resistance...the Earth or Body (-ve) return had developed loose contact in connection between the headlight/Panel assembly to the main body of bike..Check the connectors for loose contact and spray some WD 40 or Zorrick to cure it...

Did you tried the Mobile Delvac, how does it compare to Rimula R3X if you have tried it.

It's not just your bike. It's the tyre bro. I was going to office the other day and there was this water tanker going before me. There was water all over the road and I just touched the brakes to slow down as I was around 50kmph. Lucky me that it didn't skid but it swayed and fishtailed.

I'm fearing what will happen when monsoon hits Pune. Friends are saying it's due to the large block treads on the tyre, i'm not getting good grip. Is there something that can be done other than changing the tyre.

Following a water tanker in India is the worst thing a biker can do. They always leave these water trails that are dangerous. That said, personally the trick I use during the rains is that I keep my rear tyre pressure at 30 instrad of 32 psi. That helps the grip quite a bit. And also I avoid riding on the first one or two days of the rains. Thats when the roads are most slimy. Hope this helps you😊

Would give a proper review at 500kms bro. Cause as we know, these oils can't be trusted so soon. Anyways done 30kms, doesn't have the traffic bug which the R3x had until completing 2k kms.

And yeah, that's from Aneesh's old air horn setup, this works perfect for the ZMA didn't spill a drop and the job was considerably easier than when I had to use a conventional funnel.

Re: Karizma/Karizma R

I use Sirac rear tire at front, when I brake during rains I end up doing a couple of 360's. And once while cornering our heads came real close to the railing on the divider, so had to bring her back up.
