Wonderfull. Amazing riding spirit. I know it's very difficult to keep it for a family man at this age coz of the pressure from family and friends. I'm suffering it now

First of all,Welcome to xBhp Sir!
Happy to know that you still have the riding spirit. Enjoy and Ride Safe!

Also sir,let us know your bikes current information such as how many KM done on odo etc so that we can tell you more. and ask if you have any queries relating to your bike.


Yes,that's the exact setting.

Cool!

@ Pinaki Thank you for your warmth

@rixBhp No Yar I am Still Bachelor- Bit Into Spirituality. So free to fly in eternity.

@Aneesh@4GHz Thanks for the Welcome .Am 53 & an Enggr. by profession .As a child used to stare at the java's and bullets and lamby's and dream. Started my riding with lamby 150, back in the 80's.In those days work shops were very less in Ekm. Carbon dioxide was the dealer.so took spares from them and ventured to repair by self ,including painting with improvised spray gun ( flit -spray ).So the habit was taken over , when i purchased Kavasaki 100cc by bajaj, Max 100 by TVS, Splendor, Super splendor and now to CBZ. I enjoy the self repairs as it gives me confidence to ride solo and long.

Happy to be in here and Thanks to all Once again.

Millage Update :: 1900 kms

hey guys today i was passing my trusted fuel pump...and my eyes immiteately saw the fuel needle on my bike.
it was exactly in the middle so i thought why not top-up the petrol tank since bike had to run around 1000kms more for 2nd free service.
Now the Most aawaited Millage figures for my Babe:
Total Kms Coveres: 411 kms
Totals Fuel Consumed : 7.39 Litres
Average Millage : 55.5 kmpl

Riding Style:

80:20
highway:city
maximum rpm (constant for max. time) : 6000k
Avgerage Speed : around 70-80 kmph
Usually high speed and sudden brake driving...or we can name Harsh riding but only single ridder...NO PILLiON.

Now something abt the handling:
Handling is fair or rather i can say good...but nothing close to best!
MRF tyre looses their grip in Rains,aka wet roads!
rear disk is very precise if you use it accuratlly...if not then it tends to skits!
bike really feels the heats form cross winds at high speeds..not a not a confidence inspiring if you are not driving in stright line.
thanks to Xbhpians for making me understand the procedure of proper running periods/kms...my bike hardly feels any vibrations till 80kmph and i think she is returning good millage figures in harsh ridding driving style.
Bike shocker are tunned for harder side will ask the SA to soften a bit during the second service.
suggestions and discussion are always welcomed.
Live FREE....Ride HARD!

hey when you getting the diliverey Athul?
keeps us updated with all your experiences of buying,first ride and initail feels...i mean EVERYTHING!
dont forget to click some pics of these unforgetable momments!
even i ride black cbz 2011 with rear disk.
Live Free...RIDE HARD!

hey are you sure that you are getting mileage of 60 kmpl coz its unbelievable
i am also using the latest cbz purchased just a month back getting mileage of 47kmpl and i also drive not more than the speed of 50kmph. i think you are misguiding the peolpe here.

no dude..he's correct to some extent!
i am one of the proud owner of first batch of cbz 2011.
i have completed 1900 kms on the odo and i usually measure millage via tank full to tank full menthod.
till 1900 kms i had topp-up the petrol three times and here are my millage figures:-

1) 53kmpl
2) 60.6kmpl
3) 55.5 kmpl

you can also share your intitail ownership review of your cbz here in link below...


here you can read the ridding stats and owners own experiences of millage dilivered by new CBZ 2011. here we many owners are constantly getting millage above 50+ regularly with every tank filled.

suggestions and disscussions are always welcomed.
live free...RIDE HARD.

Dude.... 1st of all congratulations u gonna be a part f d club...... ..... Now I guess u can change ur profile pic....

@chohan.mohit Don't jump into conclusions so fast. just look around.

Now about mileage , it is all about where u drive and how you drive, how you keep your bike and above all your LUCK. Though Bikes like HH cbzs are manufactured in ISO
plants , performance of all bikes need not be same and for all times. So Dear brother, please contact any good mechanic, check up ur air filter, engine oil , idle RPM,Dirt in ur brakes.Air pressure in your tyres, chain slack,purity & quantity of petrol delivered etc. As all these and ur riding style can reduce ur mileage .I am 53 and seems you are young blood , experience will teach you more. May God Bless you to get more from ur bike.

Which set is better for a cbz extreme ?

Front - Michelin M45 or MRF Zapper FM
Rear - Michelin Street Sirac or MRF Zapper C or Zapper Q

Michelin M45 - findTyre - motorcycle.michelin.in
Sirac Street - findTyre - motorcycle.michelin.in

Posting here and in Universal threads - Tyres section ..
MRF Front tyres - MRF Tyres
Rear tyres - MRF Tyres

I think the M45 for the front and Street Sirac or Zapper C would be a very good combination.
What do you guys think ?

Have replied to your post in the Tyres thread.

CBZ Xtreme problems

Hello people. I recently did two trips to mulshi - tamhini with friends on my CBZ Xtreme. The first time i didn't run into any problems. The second time around, the bike wouldn't accelerate properly. I had to pull the throttle all the way back to get up some speed (and of course i wasn't in a higher gear). gears had become rough. pickup was waay down. And while accelerating the bike was jerking (the same kind of jerks that the bike gives when it goes into reserve). I switched to reserve but it didn't help. Probably a servicing will take care of all these problems. What i want to know is WHY this happened. Also i live in Karvenagar, Pune. There is a HH service center on paud road and also a castrol bike point (note : not castrol bike ZONE. don't even know what the difference between the two is). I need advice on whether to service it at HH or castrol bike point. And i need a person who will understand and make me understand what the problem is instead of making me shell out more bucks just to put on new parts. Cheers.

help needed

I brought 1 can of valvoline premium synthetic blend. which the dealer told it is 10w30 but it is 20w50. should i try it or give it back to dealer? the grade is not given on the pack or the bottle but i got to know from there website. please reply soon

IMO,Return it,20W50 is very thick.

Thanks again I've replied to your response in the tyre thread.

You can give it a try if you want to or else return it and get Shell AX7 10w40. I used Shell last time and currently using Valvoline 20w50. Not a great oil though. Performance will be sluggish courtesy the thick oil. I'd recommend a 10w40 over this one.

It is. Not really suited for CBZ Extreme.
