The Hero Karizma ZMR is a motorcycle I was waiting to discover. I simply love the riding position and a 400km round trip to Igatpuri was enjoyable since the bike was fresh out of service and vibration had reduced considerably. Sadly, after logging more kilometres, the vibes are back and numb fingers are a given after spending some time in the saddle. In fact, it’s got to the point that just a day before writing this, the gearshift lever came loose and left me stranded. Fortunately, a Hero service centre was close by and a mechanic was just a phone call away. He clearly knew about the issue because he came armed with the bolts required to put it back together. It doesn’t just affect the rider either - pillions also complain of vibrations in the rear foot peg that cause discomfort.
