Bingo. Bunk who said what, lets just talk about bikes, bikes and more bikes

With the launch of karizma zmr, hero honda revealed their incapability to produce performance bikes with enough power to stand against not only the products by foreign manufacturers but also the local pulsars and rtrs. They also showed their ability to produce the ugliest looking bikes in the world.
In a pathetic attempt to keep up with the competition, the world’s biggest two wheeler manufacturer failed badly to keep it’s flagship product ‘above all’. Zmr is a shame to hero honda. Its a shame to the whole indian bike industry.

A supereb bike , should ride a zmr before you die.Simply the best,
February 19th, 2010 at 10:21 pm
hi guys….
kaizma zmr is truely a superb bike….it outperforms the pulsar 220 easily in terms of looks,styling,reiability,mileage.it does not have the acceleration like in pulsar 220,bit the engine life is just great.ANd you do not need to go service centres,like you have to in pulsars..
I have booked a zmr.Please anyone who already have zmr,let me know more about it,and its pros and cons…
February 20th, 2010 at 12:06 am
Great!! Now that the stupidity has been put aside, lets talk bikes!!
Anyway @Krish
) But I need to be honest with you. 
Two weeks and 740kms later, the rear disc has lost its bite and the pick up just doesn’t feel the same. Add to which the engine heats up pretty soon. Wot is most irritating is, u slow down for a speed-breaker n when its done, u open its throttle to get it flyin again, only to find to my utter dismay, R15s pulling away quicker. :’( That just doesn’t feel right. (I’m pretty sure someone is gonna pop up n say, u donno sh** but ur welcome to have ur own opinion)
The ZMR is a nice bike. Received mine on the 4th of Feb on my birthday
I’m gonna be takin it in for its first service one of these days.
But its not all bad. The bike looks good, well.., looks good to me, though I agree they shud’ve done more bout the rear end. Its pretty sturdy and handles real well too. Engine feels much more refined than a Pulsar. Rode up to my parents house in the hills n it was a complete pleasure riding the bike up the inclines.
N oh, I remember someone sayin HH bikes are not known to skid when braking. With my fair share of accidents on a pulsar coz of the rear wheel skidding I thought this wud be different. Had to slam on the brakes this morning and HOLY cannoli!!! IT SKID!! lol
Anyhow, even with all its shortcomings have started likin it n I wudn’t trade my bike in for 10 P220s!

Hey Rashed,
Regarding the heating problem, one of my friends has the same issue with his ZMR, he’s changed the oil type from the HH recommended to ELF(m not sure of the watt rating) and apparently the problem has been solved at least for the time being
its worth a shot. Ill let you which oil did he shift to cuz as it is liquid cooled bikes tend to run on higher temperatures n its something i have seen in P220 and avenger 200 also.
N dont worry about the R15 being quicker champ ur machine is heavier tats it
try a few teaks/aftermarket upgardes on air filter and sparks m sure u’ll smoke a R15!!! 
And yes HOLY CANNOLI SKIDDING!!! 
honestly the most demotivating factor to de ZMR was its rear wheel!!! out of proportion is de term 4 it!!!! I would love 2 c a ZMR on nice fat low profile radials 
think about it 
n if u implement post a pic!!! PLZZZZZZZ!!!! 
@Krish
I think Rashed has giving enough inputs 4 u to decide eh ??
Oh yes almost forgot!!! FI problem!!!! the fuel pump in the 1st n 2nd lot had very high number of failures tat 2 in span on 1000 to 2000 kms. I am hoping HH has resolved the issue
February 20th, 2010 at 10:05 pm
Wow, Thanx a TON Toshi
(bowing). Will definitely try all that you said. Btw, would u have any suggestions as to which make/model of tyres I could use with regards to the profile u mentioned?
Been thinking about using a K&N filter, but am pretty much lost coz, i have no idea as to wot upjetting etc. are. I figure they go hand in hand with K&Ns?
Read through ur previous posts n couldn’t agree more with you on the need for change
Lucky u with the CBR. Its a lovely bike. I rented one from a dealer in Hamburg. Fair to say, was one of the best rides of my life!!
P.S
I had a Yamaha Fazer (the one without the fairing) keep pace with me today. SO NOT COOL!!! :@ Maybe that’d change after the first service, atleast I hope. lol
February 22nd, 2010 at 1:15 pm
Glad 2 help Rashed
Well upjetting an FI is fairly simpler than usual carbs but you need real good tech’s working or it or it’ll scerwup de whole system real bad!!!
Hav’t seen it happen on a ZMR but a lot P220 FI version in pune and mumbai .. they just change a chip and vala its done!! But trust me this aint manual stuff so dont let any 1 touch it unless they have done it for the P220. If you are around mumbai try the Bajaj pro biking center at navi mumbai.. their mech’s have experience on it.
As far as tyres are concerned, check the tread type you want online. Michiline and MRF both have amazin treads which u can choose online. Just make sure u know ur rim size. example:
170/60ZR-17
170 is the width of the tyre in millimetres
60 is percentage height of the side wall to the tyre width. So in this case, 60%
17 is the rim size the tyre is designed to fit. In this case, a 17 inch rim.
R stands for radial
Z marks the maximum continuous speed rating for the tyre. In this example, Z indicates speeds in excess of 149mph (just read Z to mean very fast or 12 points and a ban).
So just make sure rim size is correct. N ZMR’s wish bone is broad enough to support upto 140mm tyer thickness.

Also look at pirelli. Amazin grip they have but hard to find (but not in metros
Ya i love de CBR 2!!!
I thank god 4 blessing me with its presence
