    • disc do get hot on usage..its normal

      the squeaking sound is probably due to riding in rain and dirt and other accumulation... i suggest u ask them to open disc..take out disc pads...rub them on zero number sand paper and put it back...the squeaking sound used to come from drum of my karizma too..

      its not a major issue at all

        but few days ago i heard some squealing noises coming from both front
        and rear disc brakes i usually never noticed that but then i took the
        bike for a spin and never applied rear brake and when i came back the rear
        disc was mildly hot and as I only used front disc brake it was too hot to touch though i'm not a rough rider never took my bike above 60 or so kms I don't know why this happening then i took my bike to the pathetic dealership from which it was bought as my chain was also loose they didn't tighten it saying it was ok and when i told them about the disc brake issue they blowed some air in the brakes and it just dust and nothing else but when i came come discs were hot like hell i could barely touch them I tell you man HH service sucks big time well I wanna ask it this normal discs getting heated up and all please reply and if there's another thread please let me know as far as I think HH is thuggin it's customers by selling cheap piece of plastic with all the hoopla of Fuel Injection and stuff.

        incase u r not satisfied just drop an email on HH website

            • ask them to open the disc brakes...remove pads... rub them on zero sand paper.. clean brake pads and clean calipers and put them back

                hot and i know for sure also that they are gonna wear out faster then
                the usual time frame and i will have to chuck out some money for the pads
                my problem is that HH is not adressing the issue and I'm not really impressed
                with this bike (no offence) but bro i'm kinda worried at the HH behaviour
                they could have checked the brakes thoroughly instead of blowing some
                air
                No bike is perfect...they all have some problems...What if you find any problem in Ninja...or during the service from SVC...will you sell it again...and try another one?

                        But, you need to improve your shooting skills to show them real great.

                            JABKL,

                            In fact NINJA is also my favourite. Go ahead. Initially I also planned it but dropped the idea since only there is ONE SVC on Kolkata.
                            Add to that the price factor.

                            But YES no macine is perfect. Go for the one which suits your need, requirement and utility.

                            Photos are drop dead fantastic.
                            34567 kms and ZMR sold :(
