I changed the Number Plate Light bulb to cool blue....from CBZ Xtreme...now its looking more brighter and white...

ZMR has the same W as of cool blue used in CBZ Xtreme...12v-5W

Brought 3 bulbs...want to change parking lights too..but the ZMR has an 12V-3W bulb...and the cool blue i get has 12-5W.....Please suggest if it can be changed...

Cost of each bulb is 28 Rs.

Here are the Pics...

This is intersting brother

Post pic of bike too with the change. would we need 2 bulbs?i guess a single would do right?

you can change the parking bulb too. the only thing is that the fairing has to be removed.

I am thinking of changing the parking and headlight bulbs

yesterday drove ZMR on wet roads after heavy showers in Pune [generally roads are slippery after first showers]. Was very cautious, but Road grip and handling was very comfortable. Was in control 100% even at speeds of 55-60 (Still under restrictions & maintaining it). Will go for a long drive probably tomorrow or on Tuesday. For me long is around 150 kms . And test its performance.

I had been to lavasa yesterday. Few observation about the bike.

1. If the road has few sand like particles especially on the sloping turns, you find that the stock tyre makes you uncomfortable for a sec. It loosens road grip in that case and you feel it.

2. Few of them have reported that tank, engine etc heats up, i didn't find it at all. Yes when you stop your bike after the journey the lower part of the fairing gets heated, that's normal. Heating of parts in that case might have been only because of slow runs on lower gears in traffic at extreme conditions ( i am talking of temp above 35 deg and so )

3. Pulling your bike from 40-60 kmph even on fourth / fifth gear that to on a climb, very very easy. (I was tempted to push it bit more, but remained below 60 kmph & 4k rpm, too difficult to control guys !)

4. After 500kms it feels engine and gear shifting has become much more softer than that was during the initial 250 kms. More will come out after the first service this week.

5. RTMI is not a waste as few of them have pointed out. You can make use of it, to understand how is your machine behaving at that instance. Are your pushing it more, are you driving in the best gear and rpm combination,is your fuel getting efficiently used etc. Use this info to increase the life of engine.

6. There is knocking like sound that popop up when you release the throttle when either you are on plain surface or on slopes downhill, and bit vibrations on the foot pads of rear brake and gear shift which i feel should go after the first 2 servicings.

removing fairing is not easy....as i saw
it required to service people to remove it safely
take care

huhhh...then first i need to see how it will be open by service people (step by step)..then try afterward if required...i think this will work...

read the owners manual... the procedure for removing the fairing is clearly there .
