Well, I cant really comment on the ride quality as the test ride was on a smooth by-pass road. However, the mono is stiffer than a hunk's, whereas the forks are much softer and dives in a lot. The mono seemed to have a longer travel than our's. Ride quality is somewhat okay I think. The pillion might want to get down and rest his bums, unless he is a die hard biker who would enjoy the hard ride.

Did anybody use recently launched Gulf Pride 4t plus 10w30 oil in their xtreme/hunk?

vibrations are there in each bike at a particular RPM range.but i dont find it troublesome in my ride.infact above 50 u would love it most

hi guys, my bike is giving starting problem. and its all due to faulty Self start relay. it went kaput last month when self stopped working suddely. changed it outside with the exact one. but after 10 days it again went kaput. hows this happening ??
I have HID in my ride but i dont start my bike with HID ON. what else could be the problem ??

The last time, my starter relay went bust in 20 days was because of a loose grounding wire.

if your bike sometimes starts smoothly but sometimes, it gives a problem, this has a strong probability of happening.

btw, there are three terminals to be checked.
check the clamping of the thick battery to starter motor cable
check if the cable near the timing chain (on the head) is clamped or not
check if the wiring harness that comes out from the alternator has loose connections.

basically, somewhere you have a loose connection. this is causing the relay to go kaput frequently.
I do not know how this destroys the relay, but i reason that its because the starter relay does not get a steady supply and it starts sparking and damages the contacts.

Relay side connections were tight,i fitted in front of me. BUT there is a cut in a wire which is clamped on the engine body.dont know what is it and how that cut appeared. its not in my notice but i saw it few days back its taped. can that be problem ?

btw how much did it cost u ?

The relay costs about 270 bucks.
The wiring can be checked by a good mechanic in about 15 mins. Costs about 100 if the mech is very busy and could also cost you nothing if the mech knows you.
Basically, u dont need to replace anything except the relay.

But after each resolution, keep a photo of the bolt that was tightened or the wire that was replaced. It helps in the resolution if the problem reappears later

Where are you man..? ? ?
My brake is getting softer day by day.
BTW, someone please answer these..

1. Cost of Hunk/CBZ rear brake pad
2. Any idea if it can be fitted to the front..?

Hi

Hi guys my engine gaskit got leak so i change that should it will effect my average of bike?

If your engine gasket is leaking, then engine is not running in right compression, which means it'll affect the average. Try to get the issue resolved soon.

Bike Visor vibrating

hey fellow riders.

The problem is my CBZ Xtreme new model visor vibrates when i accelerate..
To avoid it i have kept a piece of cloth in between the visor and the speedometer. The Service Center dude says its a manufacturing defect and many bike owners are also facing the same problem. so there is no permanent solution.

Anyone in this forum facing it??

Suggest what should i do.

Thanks

Stay Safe.

I think this is some kinda manufacturing defect in this bike....me too suffered a lot of this leaking ....no matter how many gasket i changed the problem persisted.Only the chief mechanic in vellore SC managed to solve it once and for all .

The new pad cost Rs. 347 and the KBX pad cost RS. 146. Or you can go for ANL pads which will cost Rs.175. Change this to get superior bite. No you cannot use rear brake pads for front. One process is to change to karizma calliper so that you can use NISSIN pads but it is a costly option. Else go to Honda spares retailer and ask for unicorn pads. They are direct fit. Find a good spare parts shop in your area, somewhere where there are large number of spare shops and ask for other company pads of extreme or unicorn and i am sure they will show you ASK, ANL, or KBX, choose the last two as they are of better quality than ASK while all are of non asbestos and are of superior grip. If they will show you MAKINO brand then it is a good brand, but they are slightly oversize and is beneficial to those whose disc plate are slightly worn out. Remember they are asbestos model and thus are softer and provide more bite than original but they will last less and also you can change two sets of pads for the price of one original.These are cheaper and much better alternative to original spares.

Can you be more specific, which is leaking. Is it the head cover gasket or the metal gasket that seals the bore to head.
If the top cover is leaking, open it and clean the both the mating surface with petrol and a blunt scrapper. Then buy a new rubber gasket and apply resibond 330 on both sides of gaskets and fit. It will seal all the leaks as it is a jelly like substance and also it is clear type material so it will not be seen from outside. However this leak does not leak compression.
RESIBOND 330 (Clear/White/Black).
It is a jelly and does not dries hard and next time when you remove will be easy to remove.
If the metal gasket is leaking it will cause leak in compression. For this you have to open the complete head. Decarbonise the head if you are opening it and also polish the valve seat if your bike is suffering from mileage problem. Now polish the mating surface with a 500 grit silicon carbide paper wet with petrol and after completing the polishing use a clean cloth to completely wipe the surface clean. It is done so that minor imperfection on the surface which are the cause of leak is taken care. Now take new packing and apply resinova gasket bond which seals the metal gasket to both bore and head surface. Replace the o-rings of oil gallery to new and your oil leakage will be taken care of.
AUTOMOBILE ADHESIVES
This work must be done at a good mechanic as this is quite precision work and you cannot do it if you have never opened a engine.

converting current rear disk brake pads to ASK, ANL, or KBX pads increse the bite?
are they direct fit? rear brakes are from nissin.

Are you sure that Unicorn uses asbestos type pads..?
Please do reply soon..
