Re: Honda Dio, Activa and Aviator

Hello experts, can anybody tell me which 10W30 JASO MB Mineral oil (scooter oil) is lowest in price?

Re: Honda Dio, Activa and Aviator

Why look for the cheapest. Motul LE scooter is one of the best oil. Cost is also not alot more than others.

Re: Honda Dio, Activa and Aviator

Because my scooter consume oil, and i have to use it for at least 6 month before i buy a new one so i want a economical alternative for periodic topup.

Then try the servo scooter oil. Its the cheapest but is always sold at mrp at the resoective petrol bunk(IOC). Others maybe cheaper if a discount is given at the shop.

Re: Honda Dio, Activa and Aviator

If oil consumption is the issue, try a 20w40 oil like the shell ax5. It might reduce consumption issue, but again really depends on how much damage has already been caused.
These days I've noticed that buying online on Amazon is cheaper than local stores. Look out for deals online.
Shell ax5 20w40, motul 3100 20w40 are all suitable oils.
If you want to stick to w30 oils, then motul, Castrol, shell all have oils in this grade.. Pick the cheapest.

Re: Honda Dio, Activa and Aviator

Hello everyone, i want some suggestions regarding the headlight of my Activa 125. It is an year old now and i want to upgrade the headlights for night riding.

Please suggest some good upgrade. I have seen Phillips Blue Vision bulb in my friend's Activa 125 and it wasn't much of a difference from the stock one. Kindly suggest me a good bulb for night riding.

Re: Honda Dio, Activa and Aviator

Need bit information from Dio(or any other fibre body scooter) owners.

A friend of mine who owns RayZR said that fibre body scooters tends to loose screws over time & need tightening every 3 to 4 months & that doesn't happen to metal body scooters. How true is that?

Re: Honda Dio, Activa and Aviator

Knight eye LED ( require bit of wiring mod) search for Jhampa6 on you tube.

Re: Honda Dio, Activa and Aviator

Thanks for the reply. I'll look into it. Anything cheaper than that ?

Re: Honda Dio, Activa and Aviator

stay away from fiber body scooters especially if its going to be ridden rashly/over bad roads/carrying load. the screws might not loosen over time, but the panel themselves might snap at the screw joints or worse a fall will easily damage them.
replacing panels is easy, but what about the cost of the panels ? Check the cost of the panels before investing in a fiber body scoot. If you find the cost of panels reasonable now, better get a set and keep as spare.

I own a dio from the past 11 yrs, and price of the body panel kit that used to be around Rs.2000 shot up to around Rs.12k in 2013 and still continues to sell for around that price for the old model dio. Unfortunately my dio did suffer body damage due a couple of falls and some idiots and i have used some duct tape and cycle lock 'pattis' to hold them in their place ! The engine though is a gem.

Re: Honda Dio, Activa and Aviator

Hello guys planning to upgrade to scooter from Honda Twister,

Stuck b/w Grazia and NTorq, please help


My dad's also gonna use it, as I am gonna buy dominar soon...

Main requirements:

1.Good performance

Good handling and brakes, zero (minor) vibrations.

1.Good mileage(atleast 40+)

my Twister is 7 years old and still gives 45+ always, funny thing is chain sprocket and clutch plates have gone long back...yet it delivers!!

Great reliability and service.

Honda is also reliable but their service is shit...that's the only thing that's stopping me to buy another Honda.

I have wrote 3 complaints since last year because of their pathetic service, and they ****ing don't care.


Please help me decide,*

Thanks

is rebore better for longevity of engine?

is reboring better or buying a new bore ? recently replaced a piston on my activa 125 and is making a little noise while accelerating is this normal?

Re: Honda Dio, Activa and Aviator

How good is Activa 5G?
Please share some good genuine reviews of yours including actual mileage etc.

Re: is rebore better for longevity of engine?

reboring or new bore, a lot also depends on the quality of work done. i've seen activa's , splendors with a rebore running fine for quiet long time.

just replacing a bore might not fix a particular issue unless you understand what the issue is first. sometimes a bottom end rebuild is also required, i.e the crankcase overhaul with new bearings and crank 'reconditioning' if required.
it's impossible for me to tell what that 'little noise' is without hearing it. it could be from the drive components i.e. clutch/belt etc..

did you rebore and put in a new piston (oversize) or did you just remove the old piston and put in a new std size piston+rings ? Any smoke from the exhaust ?

3g/4g/5g same S
it is one of the best scooters around.
mileage depends on where and how it is ridden. with normal riding around in city traffic it should return anywhere between 42-47kmpl approx.
if it's used only for short distances like say daily running around for groceries for 1-2km or ridden 'fast' (whacking open throttle frequently to accelerate/get off the line quickly), then expect the mileage to drop a bit.
don't compare a commuter motorcycles fuel efficiency figures with a automatic scooter.

Re: Honda Dio, Activa and Aviator

So today my Honda Activa 125CC refused to start. It was kept unused for a period of 2 weeks and when we went to start it did not start. Used Choke, used battery start, used kick start nothing works. I wasted 1 hour in the morning and am going to do the same again in the evening. Whoever said that Activa or Honda vehicles are reliable needs to get his facts checked.
