undoubtly the best cbz i ever came across!!!!

Superbly maintained bike, limited mods that look nice!
And why you sold her and which would be your next bike?

Thanks!

Selling it for higher displacement bike for highways like NH7 and crusing.
This does well at speeds below 80kmph....but i need more to that.

Actually....One my relative took it. So I can ride it always I want.

.would like to know about ur tyre and paint

Tires are Michelin Sirac Street on front and Michelin Sirac on Rear.
Very good city and excellent off road tires, provide excellent grip but might be nervous when on loose gravel.

Paint: Can brought from local market...Price 200.

my current tires have terrible performance in wet/slippery roads. i cant wait to change both of them.I have read good comments about sirac street. are sirac street and sirac are different? and are these tubeless??

Yes..The tread patterns are different on both.
They are Tubed tires, But people are using them as tubeless also.

I am planning to buy CBZ. Can anybody tell me the price of the following spares

Front and Rear Brake Pad, Chain Sprocket, Air Filter, Spark Plug, Regular Service Charges and the best Hero Dealer in Bangalore North

All are approx rates.

Rear Brake Liners: Rs 60
Front brake pads: Rs 350
Chain and Sprocket: Rs 1000
Air Filter: Rs 80
Sparkplug: Rs 110
Paid Service: Rs 150


No idea about Dealers

Logging in from PC after so many days from office.
Do not worry hero will not stop but update their products. There first product will be a 250 cc bike and then next will be higher displacement bike.

Hi,

I am going to book Xtreme this weekend and while going through the thread I came across the above information.
Now I am confused whether to go for it as there can be demand of the spares after 2014 or required parts may not be available in the market for Xtreme anymore.

My friends are struggling to get the parts for their RX.. I dont want to face the same fate buying Xtreme.

Please throw some light on this.. it would be a great help.[/QUOTE]
Nothing to worry as my joy is 12 years old and still all parts are easily available. That is the beauty of hero which has made it champion in hearts of millions. No matter how old your bike becomes, you will easily get spares. Go ahead and buy CBZ. I think that if you are worried about nonavailability of hero bikes then you cannot know how difficult it becomes for other bikes.
mileage increase doesn't mean your bike is tuned properly. The screw which we are using for mileage adjust is actually not mileage adjusting screw but it is for adjusting mixture. If your mixture is not correct then many problems like idling and power problems will come.
mileage increase is not an indicator of good tuning.
For information of all i had told that my mechanic had tuned my extreme. After tuning the following changes were observed:-
1. During cold start water will come out just like MPFI cars from silencer.
2. Idling is stable. No need of choke when cold, just touch the self and it will start and idle at 1k rpm. Even when the engine is hot it will idle at 1k.
3. Higher rpm pull is exemplary. Previously my bike used to pull hard after 6k but was feeling like engine is strained but now it is pulling hard and feeling like it will hit the rev limiter in fifth gear easily. An example i am telling that when i had gone one day to some place i was returning. A college guy and his girl friend were returning on dazzler. They were ripping hard. the guy was standard health and that girl was thin(as with all present girls) i blew past them at over 100 kph easily and effortlessly kept on increasing gap.

Welcome to the classic case of valve leakage in extreme. This is common problem in some extreme and solution is to open the valves and reset it. By the way how much km has your bike run.

I will tell you a easy method and your bike will run for another 30k without bore overhaul. Just make sure you do it as soon as possible.
Do the following:-
1.Buy a std. ring set, head packing, valve oil seals and required parts which you want after opening the bike.
2. Open the bore and clean the piston and ring grooves. Fit new rings and fit back the bore.
3. Open the head, decarbonise it, polish the valves and check for guide wear. If worn change. Valve guides cost cheaper than splendor valve guide.
Do these and will cost within Rs.1500. Your bike is ready for another 30k. If you do late then no more way rather than overhaul.
And special instruction never use 20W 40 in extreme always use 10W 30 or 10W 40. Otherwise you will require early crank overhaul.

All your problems are from one cause-bore.
Do not use resistor plug if your engine is consuming oil. It will get sort easily.
Always remember if your engine is consuming oil always use non resistor plug. Resistor plug will blow out in few days if comes in contact with oil.
For knowing if the plug has resistor- just look at number of plug. If it has R in it then it has resistor and if no R then non-resistor. For example splendor has two plugs from mico with part no- UR4A and U4A. The first one is resistor and second is non resistor. Similarly mico makes non resistor plugs for extreme.

You and sarbonoxely are oldest member of this thread and still logging in. You had an extreme then sold for R15 and then for extreme. I had read about your accident of first extreme. Sad to know you sold the extreme. If possible visit this thread sometimes as it feels good to see old members.
And as usual your bike looks excellent.
@all- i have been out for long as i am in my new job and will take few days to settle. So please bear with me for some days and then i will be regular here. Also i will post my extreme ownership and recent trip here.
Also i will create a minor overhaul of caliper in DIY section, but please bear with me for some days.

Thanks.
Sure, I will be visiting the thread and provide what ever help I can. Your technical knowledge is excellent, definetly helps people a lot and saves money also .
Yes, SarbaneOxley and Me are old guys in this thread, there was another guy here who i guess upgraded to another bike.

thanx for the info sibun and also i have issue with 3rd and 4th gear its giving noises is it neccessary to change it now or i have to cover some more kms ??

Its always a joy reading your replies sibun ji...Well that problem arose around 1850km , Due to which i was worried and changed oil at 2100 with HH 10W30.After which i practiced idling my bike for 5s after a run. Problem didnt arise after that.I must say the drained oil was almost black water with very low viscosity .Is it possible that my valves have leakage this early ...??Also never crossed 95km/hr ( That too touched for a half a sec )One problem i also noticed that by disc makes blik blik kind of noise , but braking is tiny bit spongy , is it normal or there is some problem there also ...

Never knew that we have resistor type and non-resistor type plugs! Thanks for the info. I was using UR3DC (recommended for Pulsars) from Mico which is just 3k kms old. And the starting problem has become worse. I believe, as you said the plug has been damaged already, today in traffic signal the bike stopped and refused to get started again! Tried cleaning plug(It was dark black, only yesterday I got it cleaned, but became fouled again) but to no avail. Went to a spare parts shop nearby, asked for non-resistor type. He had only the same UR3DC for Pulsar and NGK resistor type with him. Bought NGK (genuine Hero Honda spare) for Rs.110 as I had to reach office soon and Yes, the bike fired to life again. And the acceleration became smooth, less vibes etc. Don't know how when it is going to stop again.
As you said, its all because of sole reason - the damaged bore!
I have been Planning to get it rectified for a long time, but had to skip each time due to other priorities.

Its small query.
My Hero Xtreme's handle used to lock on extreme left and right postion. Now it does not lock on extreme left, i have to turn little bit to right, about 1-1.5" and then it locks. Right side is normal. Is it a serious issue? How to fix this?
I know, Im too cautious but I love her, & care for her too much.. :P and most important every time tilting it to right is irritating.
