ravi :

did u bike turn 1,2 or 3 yrs old?
max : i got the bike painted in delhi from krp way back in March 2005. They opened up the whole bike, chassis was made black, engine too. costing and all i m not aware of as castrol paid for everything (they support xbhp).
I have had a fantastic experience with M45 tyres. Being from Delhi, i usually ride up north, been all over Himachal Pradesh. Other rides include a pune-delhi ride via NH8, Pune-Mlore-Pune, Mumbai-Pune-Mumbai etc.
Right now im in Mumbai, shifted base, and plannin a 2000km ride from Mumbai to Ooty and back

@bunny: why did u remove the Cat-con? any specific reason?

BunnyPunia · 19th June 2007, 10:23

I was looking at minor performance mods. I got the cat-con removed and the HP filter installed at the same time. Removing the cat-con does give a lil pump in the feel of the bike no doubt. i was doubtful about the bike passing the PUC, but it did with flying colours

Bunny,
It is my birthday and not my Zma's birthday. My Zma's birthday is December 20, 2006.

, barely 7 months old, it is still a baby.

BunnyPunia · 11th July 2007, 11:50

my bike crossed 50000kms last week... 4yrs and (almost) one month old

diesel_headrock · 16th July 2007, 13:44

Hello everyone,this is one more fellow Karizma rider,with more than 20,000 kms done on the odo.Well now can someone tell me where can i get my hands on Michelin's M45's in Mumbai.Have tried a few places but no use.Also any recomendations on the width of the rear tyre,i don't want to loose out on the pick up.Would a 110 or 115 be just fine?

rider60 · 19th July 2007, 23:41

man i am on with the same idea, i have sucessfully put in a round headlight and i want you guys to guess my headlight!

next in the list are the pulsar 200 mags and tyres!
k&n , crab jetting, and a set of odo meter that i believe will make it look like a honda twister250 or a hornet250 ROADSTERS!

here are the links to the pics of my bike!

Im also looking for M45 in Mumbai (using m45 for the last 8-9 months on my zma). as far as i know, m45 dont come in 115mm size. and even the 100mm size looks wider than the stock mrf. u may go in for that

DarshanS · 23rd August 2008, 00:14

it's either apache or Karizma this Charuthi... the balance is inclined to Karizma.. but don't like the handle bar. Anyone with experience with changing the handle to something as good as apache? Deciding in next one week.

Sankar · 23rd August 2008, 10:17

Bunny, since you have extensively used the M45 how do you rate those tyres in the wet, dry and broken surfaces? Is the M45 4" x 18 wider than the stock 100/90 of the Karizma?

Is it a good choice to use in the front?
