            Do not open the engine for transmission check. Use the bike for sometime and the hard gears persist, then we can see. Checking forks and T-cone are compulsory in any accident.

            I said a very good pair of gloves would cost 3k. You can get a decent one for around 2.3k. Knee guards for around 1.5k (I guess).
            Ravi Anna,

            Am trying to figure out a way to put leg guard on my new 3000km done zma. CBF stunner guard can be fitted to ZMA with out removing engine guard? Please throw some light on this brother...

              I would say the existing shk abs are best. Experts please comment...

              • Vams and Ambition, It is not possible to fit a crash guard without removing the engine cowl. Though you can fit many types of crash guard, I found the Stunner's crash guard on my friend's karizma to be very good. Will post the pics soon.

                    120/90 Sirac. Huge tire, takes away mileage and performance. But, grip is awesome.

                    Regarding the front tyre grip in wet roads, as you mentioned in other thread, any normal indian tyre would loose grip in wet. You need to be very very careful riding in rains. Hard braking in rains would always result in wheel lock due to aquaplaning. In fact, I actually avoid riding in rains.

                        Grip largely depends on the type of compound the tyre is made, than the size of the tyre. Michelins and Pirelli are soft compounds and offer superb grip. M45 4.00 x 18 is the best rear tyre for a karizma (width is nearly equal to 110 size). Does not affect the mileage and performance much (very negligible).
