Got up early morning to go for a ride in my new bike only to find that air leaked out from the front Tyre. Since it is tubeless i was worried that some serious problem exists.
Took it to a local mechanic, he took out the tyre and re fixed after few adjustments. No problem till now. Will have to check again in morning.
Is this a existing problem of tubeless tyres that initially there will be air leakages? because i have even heard of few of my friends havinf FZ reporting this problem.

Hi bro, I have been riding Honda Twister for the last one year. It has got MRF tubeless tyres. But never created any problems. On the contrary, it saved my life on the highway. Tube tyres are dangerous if you get a puncture on the highway at high speeds. It gets deflated in seconds where as tubeless tyres take hours to get deflated. Good that you posted this issue in the forum and brought it to our notice.

Ok and this problem started after i got my bike repaired. It was working fine before getting repaired.

Where was it repaired , HH service or your own mechanic ? Did they dismantle or re-route the cable or re-lube it in any way ? either on the engine side or the meter-dial side ? Jumpy meter needles are usually frayed , too dry , too oily etc cable/casing problems . Anyway , change the cable and see if it goes away ... that cable is not worth much .

The whole key set was replaced. Probably they did something then. And i got repaired in HH service centre itself.

Key set ? HH service center ? hmmm very likely , every time they repaired something in my bike 3 new problems cropped up . Might have left the cable untied / bend or maybe loose at the coupling with the meter or strained . Open the fairing and check with a light , see that the cable is straight and follows it's natural curve ( i.e is not strained ) , You may need to use a couple of nylon cable ties to secure it , those used in PC wiring will do .Loosen the collar that mates the cable part to the meter itself by screwing it out . Inspect it , it should be clean dry & have a square cross section at the top there , if worn out or rounded .. replace it . Else wipe clean it and tighten it up (refit) . Never oil/lubricate/wet it there .

Attaching few pics of my new bike.

**Ravitej** · 07-17-2011, 08:33 PM

I have a doubt about the model. During delivery i found that the "HeroHonda" sticker on the rear panels on both left and right (Above suspension) is missing. I almost had a fight with the showroom guy asking for the stickers since it is supposed to be there for the new model. He kept arguing that it isnt there for the new model. Finally, i gave up and the bike seems to have more sound and power similar to dazzler. A friend who bought a black hunk some 15days back(he had the rear stickers), his engine is smoother and has less sound. I have a doubt if there is a new model with dazzler engine instead of Unicorn engine. Its just a doubt and no issues whether its true or not but still have the curiosity to know. Did anybody else notice this?

Lol.. dude, y put up a fight for a silly sticker..? leave it.. take it easy..
Again, no HH Hunk was ever produced with a different engine (Dazzler as u say) AFAIK. Sound does vary slightly from bike to bike. Don't worry.

He He..The rear looked plain without the stickers.. Anyways he didnt have the stickers even if i wanted to purchase as spares. I will try other dealers this week..

Done 85Km till now. Will be changing oil at 150Km. But the SVC guys wont be doing the service at they say it must cross 500Km/1 month for them to do the 1st free service. So i have the choice of oil.
MOTUL 3000 4T Plus 10W30 or MOTUL 300V 4T Factory Line 10W40

???
Recommended oil is 10W30 but i have heard 300v range is best from Motul so i am confused about this.
Both are mineral oils. And any idea bout the cost?

I know have lots of doubts but done want to take any risk with my new bike

The cheapest mineral oil in the market in that grade ( Servo 4T ? ), just make sure it is pure mineral oil .... in Motul that would be the 3000 4T plus ( about 200 Rs) . Motul 300V factory line is not mineral oil , don't use for now . Drain the old oil hot .
