Though sound is not clear enough, it could be Tappets, Loose Timing Chain or Play in the connecting rods.
Better get it checked with good mechanic.

My bike Hero Honda Hunk has this loud noise, what would be the cause to fix it. ODO Reading 39974Km Here is a video

Come on you have just praised me a lot. And thanks for that.

As for your problem i can, from video clearly deduce that the rockers, camshaft, and timing chain all are running, dry. It can be clearly heard from head. There is nothing special in it. If those mechanics cannot hear it then they are dumb and not fit for repairing bikes.

I have for this reason always respected my mechanic as he listens to me and even suggests me better ideas on hearing me.

And regarding i am always correct then yeah sometimes when you have years of experience you automatically get the uncanny habit of getting to the roots of the problem in one go.

And what is the use of my knowledge when i do not help others. Knowledge is for helping others. If i do not share my knowledge, no need of gaining knowledge. I study a lot even now on automobiles. I try to get whatever i can.

And i am glad that many like minded persons are my friend.

But sadly my knowledge has no values. At least in india. May be if i would have been a country like germany which i known for its automobiles, i may have been able to put use to my brain and knowledge.
I am waiting for the the time when my knowledge will get its value.




Ashwin has said much. You are new to this thread. Go through all the pages and read the posts. Pay special attention to my posts. You will get to know a lot.

You are new, let the craziness slowly build up. No mechanics will get your bike to top condition. You yourself can. Case with aswin. He followed my advice which none of mechanics agreed.

Result is in front of your eyes.




Updates on my bikes:-

My bike engine has been overhauled and tyres have been changed. As usual overhaul was as per my specs a complete and meticulous overhaul. Better than factory engine with tighter clearance.

The front tyre was changed to ceat secura zoom and rear zapper Q. The rear is from mrf nv series and according to mrf website it is a radial tyre.

Total cost came to Rs. 13000.

Will post in details soon.
This time no photo. But a complete video of engine overhaul.

Thanks Sibun.
Visiting regularly but posting is less.



Suitable RPM to change gear on Xtreme is 3500-4000RPM.
Wear and tear will be always there in mechanical things, but better usage will decrease the rate of wear and tear.

Yes during cold weather, all the bikes run little smooth because of cooler air which help in better combustion.

Nice to see you in this thread after so many days.

Hi Guys

Thank you all for for your responses. From the your replies, i understand that to get good torque i need to start at 4k RPM. Does this mean i should accelerate much in the 1st gear? Does is cause more wear/tear or performance drop?

But sometimes during cold weather, i feel my bike pulls well and engine sound is also smooth.

Hill (depends on inclination) or flyovers pulling in 3rd or 4th gear must not be problem, if the ascend is started at more than 5000 RPM.
Also, depends on usage of the clutch.
If above is not the problem, then you must probably get the clutch plates changed if the RPM is steadily increasing but the bike does not match the acceleration.

I noticed this on my 2009 Xtreme which was used by my cousin for over an year (I was out of country). He used to always clutch in mid position (not completed engaged or disengaged) which caused premature wear of clutch plates. Once these were changed, no issues.

My CBZ xtreme completed 30k kms is not giving enough pulling capacity while climbing in hilly areas or just a flyover, especially with pillion. I need to shift to second gear to climb in such situations. But i see pulsar 150 and fz (of my friends) climbing in 4th or sometimes 5th gears, with pilion. From the beginning my bike do not give enough pulling power but gives good speed. But in plains i see my bike gives equal or more power to pulsar or fz.

I service my bike regularly. Air filter and Spark plugs are replaced new and carburater tuning is done. I use shell ax7 engine oil. Please guide me as i am planning for trip in hilly area, with a pillion. I feel disgusted when my baby struggles in hilly areas.

Also please check your choke is off and the idling screw is at correct position.

Adjust the throttle adjust nut to have more free play in the throttle. Check if this resolves the issue.
Like dineshaugustin mentioned, make sure choke is off and choke cable is not stuck.
You can try to simulate the issue by slightly pulling the throttle and choke cables individually and identify if it is a choke or throttle cable issue.
