Thank you, I am planning 100~300km trips this week, It will let me know more details about the response.

Today checked the oil level it was little bit above the MAX mark on the dipstick ...maybe 2 mm .

Yes, but is it rubber, I'm not sure...

hii guys,
my cbz xtreme is showing a no. of problems,,
my chain is hitting the lower chain guard during corners and bumps creating a loud cluttering sound...when lower chain guard is removed there is no noise..but i fear of damaging the chain and sprockets due to dust...

my rear shocks produces a continuous clatter when going over bad roads as if some parts were loose....but when going over single speedbreaker or pothole there is no sound but just normal pis pis of grs....is this normal for all gas charged shock absorbers?

guys plz help...

hi guys ,

i have covered 64500+ kms with my cbz xtreme there is no engine work has been done till now
i facing some problems from past 1 month its giving damn noise in the 3rd and 4th gear 1st 2nd and 5th gear are smooth
the head mechaninc of HH service center told me that the gear wheel is damaged {3rd and 4 th gear wheel} but its ok for now, atleast for other 2000-5000 kms also there is leak in the head cover gasket, they told me that the gasket replacement will solve that problem, should i have to go for a full engine repair (the mechaninc said the gear problem is ok for now except from the noise) is it neccesary to do full engine repair that i completed 64500+ kms and i am using my cbz xtreme for last 5 years

Yes it is a rubber part. I recently changed mine myself. Head cover gasket-it is called. Took me INR 43.12 incl of taxes.

Get your chained tightened dude-simple. The rubbing of the chain on any part of the chain cover is not 'normal' by any means. And going by the kind of chain's condition you've mentioned it would be wise for you to take to a mechanic and get the chain tension adjusted by loosening the rear wheel and then doing the needful. Any SVC mechanic will do it free of cost.

Regarding the GRS shockers, it is perfectly normal for it to produce the 'pis'-'pis' sound!!! Lol!!

it aint that simple dude....even after tightening the chain by svc people it still hits lower chain guard....this problem is present from day 1....even the chain gets loose every 2-3 days..

regarding grs,

i wasnt asking about the normal pis pis of grs but the clatter sound when going over continuous bad roads......

There shouldn't be any clatter sound from shock absorbers, may be the sound is coming from somewhere else, like a loose swing arm cap (at the end of swingarm) ?

Okay I found one more guy with the gear noise issue from our legendary Unicorn based engines!
I'm the second owner to my Hunk and its only 25k on odo, I'm facing this issue from the day I got my bike, but for me its 3rd gear thats causing the problem!
Is it a grinding kinda noise thats increasing with speed causing a bit vibration on footpegs?
(I remember someone voting against CBZ/Hunk in this forum saying - "there are reports of third gear issue on this bike")


Regarding engine repair, do you see any loss of power/drop of mileage in your bike.
What about engine oil level, is it dropping after a few kilometers? Any visible smoke when you rev the engine hard?

A quick update900km on odoGears are getting smooth as i keep riding ..Vibrations reducing but still persistent above 4kCity mileage 50 km/lrHighway mileage 58 km/lrFriends say after riding my bike .. "makkhan h boss"But they dont knw how much more smooth it will become (niether do i)

Hi Guys,
was busy for a while so couldnt visit this thread. I was using HID but removed it (no side effects but it used to stop suddenly after i turn offfmy bike and restart. ) anyways now i m on stock setup but my headlights are direct Now, i mean they are working on DC. Dont know which cable i missed bcoz after i removed HID there was only 1-Headlight connector and an earthing type of cable which is connected to the body in the lower part of handle frame,behind number plate. i m okay with it but as i increase my rpm > 4000 i dont get sufficient light with this coz light intensity is constant unlike AC one. so can anybody explain why this is happening and is there anyway i can use low as DC and high beam as AC (being too greedy :P )

other than that odo @ 16K, starter relay working fine after i wrapped it inside tape (earlier it used to go kaput in 1-1.5 month due to water), no gear/engine problem. will clean my carb in the next service.


regards

@ satson - at first the problem is with 3rd gear only, but now its 4th gear also, the mechanic told me that gradually it will effect to all the gear gear wheel and will feel like i am riding a tractor on the road

i feel some loss of power in my bike after the gear issue and feel vibration in the whole bike

and the oil level is dropping after few kilometers , there is no visible smoke the back...

what should i do , to rectify this problem

The 6th service done on 21st-nov-2012
Kms done-11366
Things changed
1-air filter cost 130
2-spark plu cost 110
3-race wire cost 75
total bill- 315 didnt go for the oil change coz i got it changed from outside with castrol semi synth oil.....
Now the engine is roaring to munch more miles than before...



Thanks for the reply,
I got the service done right in front of me and the work was satisfactory....
After coming back from the service whenever i bumped up a pothole there was the chain hitting the chain cover...
Got it rectified today as i went to the service station again and the chain was hitting the cover from the inside upper part...
Now the problem is rectified........
Also i bumped on the problem at the right time because i will be going for a long ride on monday.... so the problem is rectified and hope the journey will be safe....

Hi guys..!!

Am new here..! but have been reading through this forum for sometime. I have a very serious problem with my bike. guess you people can help me out.

Myself, am a proud owner of 2007 hh cbz xtreme which has now run around 30k km.
As most of the guys here face i had some problems with the bike from the start like the gasket leaking, valve troubles which where all corrected at the time of warranty period itself and the bike was smooth till now. After the warranty period (exhausted of the cold response of HH SVC guys) i began servicing my bike in local garages. Recently fitted a k&n-RC 1060 (without jetting, just fitted it into the air box and removed the cover) the bike was running fine till the next service. that is after around 2.5k km with the new filter, i found huge decrease in performance like something was obstructing the air fuel mixture-obviously from the dust in Bangalore city. So i serviced it quickly and cleaned the carburetor with which the problem was nullified.

But just after a few weeks the bikes performance decreased drastically. the bike was not responding to sudden acceleration and was not taking above 80kmph. (unfortunately had to run the bike in that condition for sometime since i was lean on cash) doubting that the carburetor diaphragm may have ruptured i recently showed it to a new mechanic whom cleaned the carburetor and replaced the diaphragm. but the trouble was still persistent. irritated, i myself tried a new stock filter and tuned up the carburetor, but still no luck. now i doubt the acceleration pump or the cdi unit. can anybody pour in some light on this. (sibun, satson, anyone ??? )

sorry for stretching too much guys. i needed you to get a clear picture of it. the most liked part of my bike was its acceleration from 60 to 90!! which i miss badly now.

Nothing to worry about mixing of oil. At my house i have all grades of oil like 15W 50,10W 40,20W 40,10W 30 as my friends sometimes come near me to change and some oils are left. So Sometimes i add all the oils and it becomes 900 ml and i pour in my joy. Nothing to worry as only 50-60 ml is nothing. And mark my words, once you use shell semi synthetic next time i am sure you will use the same oil. The best oil in that cost and also keep the engine super clean. You will see that the gears will become smooth and engine will also become smooth.
And if you drain oil by tilting you will drain 1lt. I have always drained 1lt. whenever i have changed.

Nothing everything is correct. Why do you think that increase in mileage always means running lean.
For clearing all doubt a lean tuned engine will never give more mileage.
Your mileage increased means your bike is more efficient than before.
My extreme returns 55 in city and 60+ on highways.
Jerk during first km is normal because at that time the engine is cold. If the engine will not jerk when cold then at warm the engine will run rich. Power will not decrease as bike will return maximum mileage when it develops maximum power as internal loss is less.
Actually rich and lean both decreases mileage and power. If you run rich you cannot attain top speed.
So run it like that. Now your bike is perfect and do not touch the carb.

Yes stunner guide is applicable to extreme/hunk. No problem go with it.
If tappets were adjusted check the inlet tappets as inlet tappets tight will cause tuning to increase and decrease.
Tight exhaust tappets will cause tuning to stop or the bike will not idle. However check both.


I am using my joy for 12 years and 3.2 lac km. If your problem is you are using the same bike for 5 years then you can upgrade.Okay, jokes aside.
But does your engine smoke or powerless is occurring or the connecting is making noise.If no then do not open engine. No use for opening engine and spending so much. Run till your bike smokes.
Check the chain tension. If it is too tight, you will get the sound.
Also how did the mechanic know it is the gear wheel. It can be the counter shaft bearings also, a common culprit.
Change the head cover gasket.
65k is not essential for engine opening. Symptoms determine when to open engine. Use semi synthetic oil and see if the noise smooths.Do not worry nothing will happen.


No use in converting to Ac as battery is providing full power and AC cannot develop more than that. Use 60/55 and see if any problem. Get a bulb of 60/55 and try. It will cost Rs. 70-80 and i am sure it will more than satisfy you. And no battery draining issue will be observed as our alternator is 140 watts. Just keep above 2k rpm ans switch off headlights at stop and convert the parking lights to LED.
I am sure 60/55 watt will light up the road ahead like no other. And after experimenting shift to osram night breaker you will be amazed.
Do the changes and report back. Get a halogin 60/55 from car shop or if you have car then use the spare bulb from the car and test. Be sure to report back here.

but i feel lot vibration from the whole body ans still feel some nosi from the engine after 50kmph as i told first i faced the problem with the 3rd gear only but its noisy in 4th gear too the mech said gradually it will make noise from the whole gear wheel and the chain tension are fine that i just replaced the chain and sporket .

so what should do ???
