    I own Honda Shine 2008 model. I think it's called as Honda CBF 125M. Do you happen to have service manual for that ?

    Please share it if you have it. Thanks a lot for your support.

    Then after 20kms ride i opened the spark plug n noticed engine oil sticking to it..
    When i rev hard after engine warm even at 8000 to 9000 rpm no white smoke is noticed from exhaust..
    Then how the engine oil came to the spark plug..
    If anyone have any idea do let me know..
    Were the rings only replaced or the cylinder was rebored too?
    Whatever be the case, I believe switching to synthetic oil so soon was not a good idea. I suggest you switching back to mineral oil of 10W30 grade.
    If there is no visible smoke from exhaust, it could be due to faulty valve seals as pointed out by Jithin.

    Faulty valve oil seals maybe. Check for smoke from exhaust after some hours of parking. And the oil you are using is very thick. Use 10w30 only in hunk/xtreme.

It is also interesting how a no. 17 head size bolt has normal no. 12 bolt size threads on it although you may find no. 13/14 head size bolt with normal no. 12 bolt size thread on it in the market. Get the whole thing/process inspected in another ASC.

    Download Link for Servicing Manual of Honda CBF 150
    Actually I was searching for Service manual of CBZ Xtreme over Internet way back in 2013, but couldn't find the same.
    Instead of that, I managed to find the full version of HONDA CBF 150 UNICORN SERVICE MANUAL.

    Update: I've clocked around 800 Kms since rocker arm replacement.
    Engine is now super smooth and silent, much to my liking [emoji4]
    I would also like to mention about Gulf 20w40 engine oil. I poured this grade for the first time in the current bore, because engine had started consuming oil.
    Feedback: It just feels like any other 10w30, and there is no sluggishness at all. Even in this winter season of Delhi, I couldn't find out any issue with this oil. Most importantly the oil level is still holding fine after 800 Kms.
    I think for older bore(>50K), there is no harm in trying 20w40, in case your bike is consuming oil.

    Vishnu Motors in Ekkaduthangal

    Nagappa Motors Kilpauk once because they were the only ones offering insurance for accident repairs

    And

    Kohinoor opposite Spencer in the BP petrol bunk.

    Vishnu Motors was always a mixed bag it will be good once then disappointing the next time. Buy I mostly gave for service there, but over time they became expensive only for general service and rear brake pads change there bill used to come around 1.2k and then there was the time when they would never suggest what repairs to carry out. My front disc was worn but they never decided to change enquire about it nor change it. When I called two days after I took the bike, the technician said yes it had to be changed but he did not do it. I felt bad and did not fret about it.

    From next time started giving at kohinoor. It was good for the first two times and then last time the ownership had changed and they had not even washed the bike properly, when I pointed that out. The owner lady and the guy responsible started having a argument about it and totally forgot about it. That was it I was pissed and disappointed so left it there and complained to Hero call center. The service manager called and said he will give me a free wash. Which I was not interested in because I cleaned the bike myself afterwards.

    Now after these experiences I have no idea where to give my bike to service because the big ones Nagappa and Southern are over crowded and small ones like kohinoor have become brattish.

    Chennai people please help.

    P. S. Give is Hunk
    I had given my bike to couple of service centres in Chennai for service but was never happy.
    So, started visiting a local garage for most of the works. The skill of the mechanic was average but I always used to stay with him while he is working on my bike and used to purchase the spare parts by myself.
    I would suggest you to get the parts from Southern Hero (situated in a small sub road in gp road, Chennai) and find a decent local garage to carry out the works.

    Do it all yourself.. thats the best way.. here most of them are into DIY's. Or better find a local mechanic. Hero SVC sucks.
