    Hello,

    There are few individuals/sellers close to your location and their information can be obtained from Facebook Karizma groups. If you find any genuine seller from there, do inform us about them here. That will be helpful.

    Kept the filter in position, filled the gaps with hot glue first. Then applied a layer of Araldite over it. 12 hours to cure.
    I don't know when I'll be free next to install it.
    Replaced the filter. I had asked my mech to just set the idle RPM and turn the screw 3.75 turns out. But he is one who goes by the book when it suits him and tried for nearly half an hour... without success. Now I have cold start issue. I have to have a holiday when the workshop is open to sort it out...

    That's a good job. Installing should not take more time, compared to the prep time this mod takes.

    Hello all!

    I installed an inline fuel filter called "Allextreme EXGBPF1 Magnetic Glass Inline Fuel Filter" on my motorcycle, which is sold for Royal Enfield Bullet BS3/BS4 models, as a precautionary measure for rust particles from the tank causing blockage in the carburetor. I recently installed a petcock valve as well. I tried to buy paper fuel inline filters from different local manufacturers, but they were not interested in selling them and I found it strange! I selected to try this filter. It was priced at ₹248 on Amazon(dot)in. This filter can be easily cleaned and installed back by unscrewing the nut at the base of the glass body/chamber.

    This how it looks. Fuel enters from the top port from the petcock valve and leaves from the side port to the carburetor.

    It has a small magnet, which will attract any metallic dust/particles present in the fuel from the tank. The metal mesh is removable as well.

    I had to cut a small portion from the rubber gasket of the cap just below the fuel inlet port, as one person mentioned in comments on the seller platform that the rubber gasket somewhat restricts fuel flow.

    The normal fuel pipe diameter was small for the inline fuel filter ports, and I had to buy the pipe with larger diameter, costed ₹50.

    4 of these clamps were needed for the new pipe as well, costing ₹10 each.
    Click image for larger version  Name:	5.jpg Views:	0 Size:	87.7 KB ID:	2240560

    I had to do some measurements for cutting the pipes regarding the placement of the inline fuel filter so that it stays hidden behind the left side cover.
    Click image for larger version  Name:	6.jpg Views:	0 Size:	90.1 KB ID:	2240561

    With thick pipe it was tough to keep in an upright position. I did not notice any leakage from anywhere, so it looked good. I tied one of the side steel arms with zip ties to the air filter box so that it does not rattle while riding the motorcycle.

    Final finish.
    Click image for larger version  Name:	8.jpg Views:	0 Size:	72.2 KB ID:	2240563


    After installing the inline fuel filter, in a couple of days time, the fuel started to overflow from the drain pipe of the carburetor. I was like, this project is a failure. I thought something was blocking the float pin from seating properly, and this filter did not help. I went to a mechanic; he checked the carburetor and he showed the float pin has developed rust on the aluminum part where it sits on the plastic float, and it was getting jammed, restricting its proper operation. He replaced the pin with a clean one and said the float pin was not blocked by anything. No leakage from anywhere since then. Felt relieved!

    Also, I would like to suggest to ZMA owners to clean the terminals of the fuses, CDI, main relay, and battery as a regular maintenance procedure and keep the motorcycle in good running condition.

    Thank you for the read.

    Hello, there was a time, I was considering to install something like this(as shown in the link below, an example), but then I gave up on this idea as it will attract traffic cops attention. I stayed with stock headlight.

    Even with a car H/L bulb pthe visibility was pathetic against any type of high beam or LED lights. So I bought a pair of HJG projectors. I didn't connect the red color . Their switch is like a merri-go-round.. white (high) comes first. Then you switch it off and then on again to get yellow low beam (which is what I want to aid visibility). Then repeat it to get white and yellow combined flood. Do it again and you get both flickering three or four times , alternat8ng between the colors.
    BTW in which format can 8 upload a video? MP4, mkv and flv were declined.
