Hi to all. I am a member of xbhp since past few months. And a regular follower of karizma r thread. I also have an activa at home ( 2005 model 50k on odo). And even I am amazed to see how the scooter is running after 7 years of abuse and torture. Now I am planning to do a complete repair of both interior and exterior and whatever that is causing problems in my ride. So i need all your help and suggestions. Here is the list. Its gonna be a long one .
1) Headlight out of focus. And can halogen be fixed? any better alternatives?
2) Front headlight unit and all the fibre part attached to the handle is rattling like anything ( Thanks to me I did 220 kms one side in 3 and half hours over not so good roads it was one and half years ago and the scooter is still living with it )
3) The bike lacks pick up. Seems like replacing air filter will make it better. But the problem is inside the engine. But don't know what it is. When i give throttle the bike revs but it won't pull up slopes like it used to in her early days.
4) oil leak don't know where from. Its obviously from the engine side. Hope the mech will find it.
5) cone set has to be replaced. Handling is not so good. ( SVC guys said that 2 years ago still running with it)
6) Front mud guard dented. Crash guard needs replacement.
7) Spark plug needs replacement. Any better options than stock one?
8) Planning to do a complete body repainting. Any ideas of cost? and is the old type stickers available? want to maintain the stock look.
And what are the checks/ replacements that has to be made to the engine and any other running parts that I have missed out.
This scooter has been a part of the family and we are not at all willing to sell it off. The cost is not a problem but have to get it back as it was when it came out of the showroom ( or at least something close enough).
And I have no idea about the availability and price of the parts required and no clue if I should book for the parts and waiting period. The bike has never visited SVC after free services are over. And oil was changed like 6 times maximum in these 50k kms. The scooter was holding good all these years so never had to visit the SVC so have no idea about the present scenario at honda. So please help.
