^^ rest assured, its better than the karizma in performance. The karizma IMO is a better tourer.

If you compare 0-100kmph figures both bikes are almost neck to neck, after 100kmph R15 has slight edge. If you compare roll on figures ZMA has better roll on figures(due to higher torque).Originally posted by KARIZMATIC View Post
There is a vast difference between the characteristics of 2 bikes, you have to literally whip the R15 to extract performance where as ZMA is an effortless performer.
Try to test ride both bikes extensively before going for either of the bikes.
If you want out and out performance then P220 is the one to go for.Comment

Can help you with thatOriginally posted by jatin almighty r15 View Post
But "please" don't ruin the bike's "ultimate" tyre. Its difficult to find the same tyre. And burnout exerts a lot of pressure on the engine, better try that after some time.
Rest its your call.Fare thee well xBhp, All the best for being the biggest name in corporate world

@ KARIZMATIC
The two machines are made for entirely different purposes while karizma will give you effortless performance even if you are a sedate rider. R15 will make you work to extract the performance out of it.
But the good thing about that is r15 will polish and test your riding skills like no other bike. It perform best only in the right gear, it will test your riding skills than you testing its capabilities during cornering..it is a hugely forgiving machine and its as close to you get for that kinda money in our country to riding a proper racing machine.Last edited by SiD13; 05-02-2010, 07:37 AM.Ride swift, ride safe...

Hey! how about pulling the front brake so that the bike doesn't move forward?!Originally posted by rennycornelius View Post^^^^
At the cost of clutch plates and little of a tyre.....YES.
Shift your weight at the front, dont sit on the bike, stand while transfering the weight on to the tank with the help of your stomach, rev it to 6000 RPM, leave the clutch, pull it to 9000-10000, shift clutchlessly to 2 and then to 3...
Smoke will come in 2 gear as it will help in the speed department.
ALL the BEST.
Most motorcycle problems are caused by the nut that connects the handlebars to the saddle.

Bro btw zma / R15 I would personally ( strongly as well ) recomend to go for R15Originally posted by KARIZMATIC View Post
R15 is 1 step ahead from zma in all fields be it performance / speed / looks spclly Handling, believe me this bike gives such a confidence while driving at high speeds & can be easily controlled as well
even though before making an decisions kindly take experts advice like Aryanda / Kenda / shivibhai coz they r the masters in the field these machines
Karizma : 7/10 R15 : 8/10

I have been facing this issue since the past 3 months or so... My front disc brake is way too soft to my liking. I mean... the disc brake when pulled with a lot of force, the lever nearly touches the throttle bar. I tried telling my problem while servicing, but in vain.. all they did was bleed out few liquid from it... but its still the same.. Becoz of that I have a very low confidence in braking on high speed. The rear disc brake is almost like its not there.. it hardly does anything. Also while I brake, sometimes I only pull the front lever and my wheel kindda gets locked and the front wheel is dragged with vibration.
The feeling while doing so is something like when you lock your cycle and still try to drag forward. I hope you understood what I meant...
I have been noticing this problem after I met an accident.. when I was hit by a fellow pulsarians from the back on my silencer when i was attempting a stoppie... Guys.. do you have any idea.. whats wrong with my brake... Because of poor braking.. I cant even think of taking my bike past 80...----------------------------------------------------

Sanket I would kindly request you to wear more riding gears while performing these type of speeds, though its your wish. But remember Safety is always the moto of xBhp. Hence always Ride Safe.
Jatin : You didn't tell me at the meet that you
, I may have helped you in this
Jatin I have ridden R15 only around 3300kms in 2 mths time, yes I did study about it for long before acquiring this beauty, but I am not an expert, still learning. There are many experience riders of R15 here who are technically very sound here and have clocked 10k+ kms here. so there opinion would be bestOriginally posted by jatin almighty r15 View Post

@freakzil - i think you need to change the brake fluid completely, and bleeding the brakes afresh. Also a lot depends on the condition of the front disc pads.
