If you feel the bike is running good and service at required intervals has been done, then check the riding habit. Try to ride most probably around 40-50 kmph which will give the max mileage. The acceleration should be linear and not sudden bursts.

If the bike is not serviced properly, immediately do so.

Activa needs 20w40 oil.

..if probs persits ..complain to honda email them as ur bike may be warranty !!

Bro its my dad who drives it.
Prior to this scoot, i had an eterno which gave some engine related issues within 8k kms and 2 years (under warranty)...

I did not meant anything about the scoots performance, Its more to do with the lack of power while lifting loads and climbing uphill....!

which is best oil for Dio ?

Devilpulsarian · 05-25-2009, 10:24 AM

Hondas are happy on honda genuine oils...

Better go for it only...else they tend to loose ther smoothness...!

Shadowfax · 05-25-2009, 11:34 AM

ahh.. ok thanks

rarejunk · 06-15-2009, 10:02 AM

yeah!! there isnt much noticeable change when i used a castrol synthetic oil for my 07 dio!... its better to stick to honda oils... and for milage problems,... take the scoot to a trusted mechanic and ask him ta check the full engine...
