    If ASC [Maruti]of cars [Baleno] In kerala wont cross check sensor cables after accident repair .

    Honda Should give proper training to ASC.
    ABS is little hard for an average mechanic to service

          If you are really bored with ZMA, go with CBR if you are looking to buy a new one.....as you will be riding city mostly and less where you will open it, probably a nice buy...
          Regarding running to ASC, if you learn some basic maintenance, most of the issues you can fix yourself. They shouldnt be too big for you else it would make a warranty job. What a mechanic can do is mostly what you can do as well unless some special tool is needed. you will love looking after and fixing your own bike and develop a bond with it.

          How old is your ZMR and is fitting a different profile of tyre is an option if thats what you are after on turns and in terms of contact patch? Or what you lack in ZMA can be filled with aftermarket parts like some one suggested Joel's kit (sorry if not as i dont know the market)

          Defo get the ABS model if your usage is city commuting. Its little bit tricky to bleed but not too much.... There is not much what dealer can do with ABS system apart from bleeding it anyways....

          @sayank10
          the only issue is the lack of bite of front brake,which has 2 pot set up for standard version,but as you are getting a c-abs this issue is non-existent.
          Not challenging you and just for my knowledge but how getting ABS model will fix the initial bite or lack thereof? Or you were saying Honda fixed the bite issue *with* ABS model. Initial bite is not related with ABS AFAIK but probably with pads/rotors/or air in lines(often air) if rest everything is common... thanks if you can write 2 words for me so I know more about this in CBR20r;s

            WarpSpeed,

            My ZMR is about 1.5 years old and i am bored of using it.. dont know the exact reason why!

            I have upgraded the rear wheel to Michelin Sirac.. other modifications i have not thought about!

            If i buy CBR it will be with ABS..

              abs has 3 pot set-up upfront which is more efficient.
