Dont go over 3.0 * 18 on front and you can fix 110/90-8 on rear.Bigger tires in front will make the handle heavy.

See this is my friend's bike with 120 without removing the chain guard.


Yes,Unicorn's TuffUp Tube is 3.0 * 18 size. 100/90-18 is equal to 3.5 * 18.

HUnk/Xtreme comes with tuffup tube??

Not sure if they're available in Chennai, as the new Xtremes have tubeless, they might not have it. But you can check in some big tire dealers (like that of MRF).
Currently my bike is not having tuff-up (and it got punctured 2 times recently!).

Yes tuff up tubes are avaialble with hero but they dont sell it here ...so can i use the 3.00-18 tuffup tubes of unicorns for my rear tyre 100/90-18 SIRC street ?

will make some calls then...

here is the DOT 4 brake fuild i got recently for Rs 160 :

Guys i am having small problem here...

Past Few weeks whenever i park my bike , I see small amount of oil drip beneath it ...it is like one drop in 2-3 hrs...

I thought initially it was from chain but under close scrutiny it was engine oil (golden in color)

i managed to take a picture of it from where it is leaking...

Can you please throw some light in this regard n what is possibly wrong ...
.

Yes you can use it,Honda uses the same sized tube for 100/90-18 tire.

Checked oil level?

Sold my bike,Pressure from parents side ,now driving an Alto.I am following most of the threads silently.

Ok then will get it today then. what about the front ? can i get the shines back tube ?

@Rohit like aneesh said check oil level first ...dont wipe the area clean and take it to SC let the head mech check in that condition .

@sarban , aneesh sir

Yes i checked the oil level its near full. But still it has lost good 30-40ml...

Today at 9 am i went to Svc nearest to my place..They said " Bhaiya servicing me lagao gaadi..."

I said its only 500km from last service there`s no point in it...oil is fine..i just have this minor problem...

Their reply " Are Bhaiya servicing karwa hi lo na ..Gaadi ke liye accha hai...waise bhi kitni gandi hai..and revved it to max for sec ."

I went straight to their supervisor and spoke on this regard..He said he will get my bike done within our or so...

The mechanic who checked said "Neutral Switch Problem hai"

They took 3 hr in changing a part and even made me pay for the part ..I said it`s in warranty..but they were reluctant..

anyways i paid since 40rs wasn't much...

Now in evening when i checked it again it`s still leaking by drop...

I am now in state of utter disappointment...We get our bikes from hard earned money and that`s the service we get..

Please people i am under shade of yours help now as there is no mech competent enough in this place we know as Automated Workshops...

Good your oil level is ok .
I know how it feels to be taken for a ride ...recently i paid Rs 1500 for no fault of mine....Shoot a mail to Hero i dont see any other way bro...dont you have any other SC near you? .

me too very disappointed with hero service, I wonder how they are going to manage after 2014. One slight good way is to drop all concepts like warranty, free service .. and approach good mechanic. At least we will get a smiling face for the money we pay.

I have one at few km away ...But not so sure if they are competent enough ...will try it though

I am planning to carry on with this for some days and directly go to the showroom from where i purchased it...

The head knows me there but only problem is its 150Km away...

Anyways is there any possibilities that it might to another big engine problem if i carry on with this ..???

But its only 3 months of purchase and cant drop on warranty this early..

Plus in a small city like mine finding a good mechanic is like finding needle in a haystack...

Frankly speaking this free service and warranty(upto some extent) is just a gimmick. What i have seen;and i believe most of us agree upon' is they do nothing other than washing and cleaning (that too with our own petrol) in free service,even their OIL CHANGE doesnt make me feel satisfied at all. About warranty i guess Honda engines are not so vulnerable to faults so early,nor are other electrical/mechanical parts. So i would siuggest you to search for the correct reason behind this.may be its coming from the Loose Oil drain bolt,may be its coming from front sprocket case(grease/oil coming alongwith chain movement and dropping then-after). Dont be afraid about ur engine health as ur oil level is OK.
One has to be lucky enough to be around a good SVC .

Hello Sarban I hope you missed my query. Kindly compare the above oil with honda 10W30.

Have got to agree with Saurabh here. This whole warranty, free service and what not is nothing but a gimmick. I only used 1 of my free services, then shifted over to a local mechanic. The unfortunate part is that he shifted elsewhere and I've been on the lookout for a good mechanic ever since. No one has been able to get my carb tuned right, not even the A.S.C. If anything, the A.S.C only mess up a perfectly good bike when it's given for a service. They steal petrol, scratch vehicles that we take so much care of, it sickens me. I believe it's best we learn to be like sibun. DIY is the only way our bike's will always be in tip top shape. Because we will never be happy until it's perfect when it comes to our own bikes and the feeling of getting your hands dirty and working around your own machine only helps you understand your bike more. It'll take a while, but once you put in the effort, you no longer need to look for a good mechanic ever again. We have such informative forums with such knowledgeable members who are always willing to help, if we only we could tap these resources, servicing our own bikes would be a whole lot easier!

And RohIIT, worry not. I once had a damaged Oil Gasket in August, lost more than just a drop of oil every time I parked the time. The bike never gave me any problems until I got the problem fixed in October of something. So don't worry, nothing will happen. But try to get the issue fixed ASAP. I know what it feels like riding a bike which you know has a problem. There is no peace of mind!

I'm sure he just missed your query.

Calm down bro your ride is going to serve you for a long long time to come so stop worrying.... as the oil level is between the MAX and MIN mark in the dipstick you have nothing to worry....i drove for 140kms with less than 500ml of oil once before my new bore was installed .

Stick to SC and dont do anything that will void the warranty....the outside mechs unless you know 100% are very risky...i have seen some Xtremes needing engine work due to stupid local mechs who installed the gasket wrongly ...then they later bring it to SC ...this is just one example ...i have suffered like this a lot with local mechs...i would strongly advice you to stay away from these guys .

I mostly agree with what you said the SC just wash and lube the ride thats it...but i have also seen lot of new CBZ xtremes with engine problem some as early as 1800kms...so letting go of warranty this early is not a wise choice...i decided to let the warranty go like this and suffered a lot.

Sorry brother i didnt see your post...ok this SHELL oil is miles ahead of honda genuine oil when it comes to smoothness in gear shifts...there is no comparison here... the oil is not as thick as say gulf 20w40..with choke the bike starts in single kick even in very cold climate....it takes about 3-4 kms to warm up till this time i keep it at 4000rpm ...the heat management too is good...i cant say much at this point as i have not gone for any long drive...here it costs Rs 85 more than honda oil and for that price its a good oil i must say....lot of high mileage Xtremes i have seen have run on castrol power 1 with drain intervals ranging from 2500-3000kms....if i see any Xtreme that has done more than 60k-70k+ kms i always ask the guy what oil he uses ...95% of the time they all say only power 1 ...the shell too will have similar drain intervals i am sure .
