Hi all,
I have a 2003 model Hero Honda Ambition. Till now it has clocked trouble-free 95000 KMS. Recently, I got its piston changed since it was burning the engine oil at a rapid pace. After changing the piston, the oil burning problem went away.
However, now, the engine makes a clicking sound whenever I start the bike. In addition, lots of smoke starts to come out of the exhaust if I ride it in heavy traffic. No smoke comes out if I take the bike on long rides where the speed remains constant. Therefore, I took the bike to the authorized service center to get the problem sorted out. The service center guys told me that the crankshaft needs replacement and the total repairs will cost about Rs 8000.
My question is that really a crankshaft problem or is something else wrong with the engine. In addition, is Rs 8000 a fair price to pay for the said repairs?
Please help.
