  • Better chain sprocket for Honda hornet 160R

    My hornet 160R's chain gets loosen more often as a result of frequent gear shifts. Which leads to reduced pull power on tyre in low RPMs. So does fitting z-ring chain in hornet will sort out the issue?

      You can the fit the o-ring chain kit which comes with the newer Hornets. It is direct fit, costs around 1.3k.

      Noise is reduced, chain maintains slack for longer periods and is smoother.

        I agree compared with 2017 edition hornet's chain, 2018 is better and infact am using the same as I changed the stock..
        But still, hornet has little less power in low RPMs and it need more gear shifts in dense traffic as well upon speed brakers..
        So am looking for something which is more durable for harsh ride/frequent gear shifts...

          My hornet brakes seems less powerful than earlier and the bike odo reading is 21000... Is it a time for brake shoe change?

              Ofcoz, you need to change brake shoes after 21k. I'd also recommend changing brake fluids.
