) .. but sadly that has gone... out of the blue, thats gone....
I spoke to Old Fox about it , but resetting the CPU did not work. A local car mechanic was saying he could smell petrol in the exhaust...
Pray the engine is safe........ i just wanna crawl into a hole, hibernate and come out only when the bike is fixed !!

So re-booting didn't work....

Don't worry Vishal....the smell of petrol occurs if you have unburnt fuel in the exhaust gases. Happens when the engine is cold and also happens if the engine is running rich for some reason. (also consistent with your saying that the mileage has dropped). Probably the ECU is getting some spurious input from one of the sensors....check it out with the Honda people. Call them and ask them whether continuing to ride will have any detrimental effect, which I don't think is the case. If it is all right at their end, then at least you can ride the bike till they come and fix the issue.

@OF: The witch doctor of xBhp gets another patient albeit its not another 'One

@Fireblah: From what I've read, the valve in the exhaust is supposed to pop open at higher revs.

Not sure if it'd open up at 4k revs. That's not high enough even by Indian-single-cylinder-moped standards let alone a litre class stomper.
Im keeping my fingers crossed for HMSI to fix up your 'Little wonder' super-quick !

But then what about the power drop? And i feel its getting worse. Ive decided not to take the bike out anymore till its seen by honda..

Hey man..hope it turns out well.
On the fuel front....get the best possible fuel for her.
Absolutely no compromise on that front.

Hope Honda fixes it for you.
Peace

Dude, XtraPremium is octane 91.

He is using octane 97 from BP. I personally feel there is no need to change from octane 97 to octane 91 now. He is using the same fuel from the same petrol pump from the beginning.
