Not only his, also mine.

I repeat,There is absolutley no problem in using a 5W40 in place of a 10W30.

Just give it a layman thought atleast.

The CBZ X/Hunk share the engine with the Unicorn which is recommended a 20W40 grade.(Except for the slightly modded cam)

And the earlier Zmas were recommended 20W40 and the Zma R s are recommended a 10W30. They both have the same engine. The key here is higher FE in using a thinner oil.

Also, ironically the HH guys pour in 10W30 oil when the Previous GEN Zmas go in for a service . Just give it a thought.

^^^This issue has been discussed in the oil thread. So its upto the user to decide what he wants to use after due consideration... after all its your baby.

See hero honda does not care about your bike.All they want is your cash.I have seen people being verbally abused in SC.Just go through my posts and see for yourself- what happened to my bike @ the SC.Would i trust these b@#$%&*% Hell no.And dont worry nothing will happen to your ride Hondas are very reliable.You do not want any kind of dirt entering the case I would suggest you take it to the nearest castrol bike zone they are pretty clean.

my experience with CBZ Extreme

Hi guys..I've been driving the CBZ Extreme for over two years now . I've noticed two problems till now ..

1) the rear brake lever produces a tak tak sound when applied (this doesn't happen always though) . It's annoying. The HH service center manager told me that the sound is due to manufacturing problem and they can't do anything about it . That is not a decent explanation .. Am sure HH guys can fix it .. the bloody service center guys are just bothered in completing max no. of bikes in a day rather than solving the issues with the bike.

2) i'm not sure whether this happens with other bikes but i am still facing this problem ...

i feel the power is not released properly coz sometimes when i am going at constant speed or if i give some more acceleration .. THERE IS A SUDDEN BURST OF ENERGY DUE TO THIS THE SPEED IS INCREASED BY A GREAT EXTENT ..the speed increase should be gradual and not sudden ..

the Service center guys are unable to fix the problem,

i get a sudden burst of energy rather than gradual acceleration

to put it in a simpler form it's like using NOS . i get a sudden uncontrollable thrust .

apart from these .. no other issues ...

totally comfortable ride. Shocks have to be improved. Amazing ride quality.


u can pm me if u need any clarifications

When was the problem first identified? How many KMs did your bike clock so far? What's the warranty time period and odo reading for the CBZ-X?

If the SC Manager tells you that it is a manufacturing problem and they can;t do anything about it, he is simply bull shitting. Manufacturing defects are the ones the warranty is there to cover for. You may want to take this up with HH like some other members did here... some of them can help you find a contact or pls spend some time in this thread and in the Karizma thread with the older posts to get HH contacts.

I'm sure there are many here who would kill for a bike like that.

Wanna exch. bikes? I could use one like that too.

Jokes aside, do take this up with HH asap like HydBiker said. Call up HH Head office, Regional Manager, Company Service Engg.

Thanks a lot for your quick reply guys..

till now i've gone about 9500km (yeah that's way too less considering the fact that i've owned the bike for over two years now)
i've identified the problem after the first or probably before the second service. there is still 1 more year left for the warranty.
can you give me links to the other threads that you've mentioned.. ? ?

hahaha very true

When the TAK TAK sound comes the bike jerks forward a little the break dont bite for a fraction of a second i know.I have seen countless xtremes coming to the showrooms with the same complaint.Once the mech said what the problem really was i do not remember what he said but i am sure it was not a manufacture defect.Its some minor issue.After the CBZ guys took everything(rear wheel ) apart sandpapered and applied some paste(maybe grease )no taka tak for 1600KMS.

Guys after pouring motul the bike does 120Km/hr @ 9000RPM earlier withCP1R it did the same @9600RPM.What happened to the 600RPM.
And the oil takes a lot of time to get warmed up(almost 10kms) its a little irritating.CP1R takes just 2 kms to get warmed up After i run the bike below 5000RPM for 2 kms i ripped it for the first time to test motul the thing wont go above 100Km/ht for the 1st 10kms after that it touched 120 easily.But the engine is kinda silent even @ that speed the tappet noise i had has reduced considerably.How does oil reduce tappet noise by this much.Though the acceleration is their just like CP1R i do not feel it.NO feedback from the bike -ie whatever little vibes the bike had all have completely dissapeared.Even after this High speed run for about 24Kms
the engine does not get too hot like it did with CP1R.Ithink i can safely say that motul is a good TOURING oil no need for breaks to cool the engine on long rides.

Is anybody planning any mods on HH Hunk?

Cosmetic and Performance Oriented.Please share any details or pics if available

@ mcspeed

Sorry i surely took u as some one else.
ur rite. lotsa ppl now rides bigger bike with fake number. the other day i saw a young dude brought a fz-s for showing it to a customer (for selling it for 165K w/o registration). he even showed me both the original keys. he qouted me 35K for getting a number for P4.
i'm now getting ok with my hunk. so discsrded the idea of getting a p200 for sometime.
the hunk is ready to rule cox's bazar agai,

With your recent comment I think I would agree to Raccoon sir's suggestion on using Motul in summer. Its definitely sounds good for touring. Wonder how it will fare if most your requirement is for commuting within the city which means you travel around 10km only at one stretch??. Also it'll be interesting to see how the bike will behave during colder seasons with motul. Have you noticed any considerable changes in Fuel efficiency???...

You will never know until you try it.If you are ok with the price you pay for these imported oils i really do not see any reason for not trying one.Even with CP1R i got only for its synthetic property.Never knew /cared about any performance.As racoon sir said its upto you.

Since when did Raccoons become Sirs?

I'd certainly wonder how that oil will perform during winters. Technically speaking, its not right to use oils of these different viscosities... and we cant comment on the long term effects. It is unfortunate that we still don't get synthetics of the right grades... in spite of them costing an arm and a leg. But then if performance is really increasing to the superlative levels as described by Sarban, then you may want to screw the long term effects. Thats something the user has to decide.

Sarban, if I recall correct, you put in the Motul after effecting a lot of other changes in your bike, including general servicing, right? The the changes you experienced were due to the aggregate changes in the other parameters. I don't think its right to say that the change was brough around only because of Motul. Don't you think so?

Yep i agree the CBZ guys did a very good job they adjusted the tappet and all just right so i felt like that.After the oil spilling the local mech removed that part(engine block) to re-thread it so its started giving the annoying tappet noise again.After i poured motul. the tappet noise have completely dissapeared (almost).
And one thing i am sure about motul is it transformed my Xtreme into a unicorn-Read no vibes whatsoever even @ 120KM/HR the engine itself feels like its not stressed atall and the synthetic growl is more deeper in motul than in CP1R.My bike is due for another service in another 500kms so will post what its like after castrol guys set this tappet noise right

It is a Motul. A 300V Factory Line product. And, a 5W40. It would outperform at least 95 oils out of any given 100 even in its Winter performance.

All of them can show their differences but you have to try the Motul 300V to believe what it can do.
