Guys, which engine oil is best for Activa 125?
Need suggestions as I am going to be doing the servicing by myself. No visiting Honda ASC.

If possible get the honda 10w30 (golden bottle jaso mb grade) from the svc itself
Otherwise you could use one of these depending on availability :
1. Castrol gearless scoot oil (10w30, jaso mb 800ml bottle) -- easily available in hyderabad
2. Motul scooter le oil - again a 10w30 jaso mb oil -- might find it at some shops in hyderabad
3. Shell 10w30 jaso mb.. might be difficult to obtain in hyderabad.

If you can't find any of these jaso mb grade oils (MB grade is to be used only on gearless scooters and never on a wet clutch bike like most of our motorcycles), then you can safely also use any 10w30 (or even 10w40) ma/ma2 grade oil (motul, castrol etc.. all sell this grade of oil)

Regular oil change at every 2500-3000km with mineral oil is sufficient to keep these scoots happy. I've used all these different oils but most importantly always changed oil on time and my Dio has been a happy chap for almost 10yrs and 60k km now! And remember, never overfill the oil.. after draining fill up around 700ml then check and top up if necessary.

Re: Honda Dio, Activa and Aviator

I kept it for just 3 days,and not even raining that heavily.

I tried 10 kicks and 3 selfs but i was not able to make it start..

Need your help guys..

-Cheers

EDIT : Rats it is,they just killed the engine wire.Here is the cost:-

1.Wire - Rs.150/-
2.OEM Air Filter - Rs.260/- (@7500km)
3.Carburettor - Rs.150/-

The mechanic was kind enough to exclude labour charge costing at Rs 150 in all

Has anyone observed in their vehicle and know why exactly this is happening?

my guess is you might have to get the drive belt and the clutch parts inspected (open left side case and check all the parts inside.. belt, clutch, rollers etc) and engine mounting checked.
only driving the scoot will let one know what needs to be checked, your explanation is a bit vague. take it to a service center and see what they have to say.

Does anybody know a company in India who will ship to uk? I tried Safexbikes, but they dont respond to my emails.

Also interested in upgrading the headlight to a hid projector. Anyone recommend the best kit?

folks at safexbikes aren't very reliable and if i were an overseas customer, i'd stay away from them.
The clear indicator lens came on later model dio's and should be available at local honda dealers (another problem here is many dealers will refuse to sell only the spare parts) and i doubt they'd ship overseas.
if you had requested this a week ago, i could have sent it across as i had a friend traveling to London.
I might have another friend traveling to the UK in August or Sept, maybe then.. lets see.
btw, i prefer the orange lens.. nice and retro!

I've had an accident in which a dismantled part of an almirah(steel cupboard) came under my front wheel , due to which the vehicle fell on its right at about 40kmph.so may be a bent fork?
And I feel that the scooter is unstable while riding with pillion ,I've tried riding with pillion on other vehicle but didn't feel any issues but in mine I feel that the scooter is quite unstable.what could be the issue?

Yes for sure its the fork that's bent during the accident ! You will have to get that sorted,Take it to the showroom from where you bought it and they will be able to sort it out.

Would've suggested to get it done outside but since its only couple of months old,It's better with warranty and such in the pic you stick to the company service for now !

Guys,

Just took the delivery of Activa 125 Standard variant today afternoon. OTR was 68K

Adjusting to the scooter experience now

Congrats,Was looking forward to reading your experience. Please do post the complete riding experience with pics and such.

Regards.

Hi,

Hey guys I bought a new Honda activa 3g and I feel that the vehicle pulls to one side.though it is negligible when riding alone I feel that when there's a pillion riding it worsens. I've tried putting vehicle on center stand and moving the handlebar from left to right and I've observed that it moves freely on the left but feels somewhat hard from center to right.. What could be the reason.any help?!

If its a new one then why not take it to the place where you bought and have it checked ???

The pulling one side could be due many reasons,but usually it's cause of low tyre pressue or some issues with the wheel hub. On the other hand the handle bar issue could be due to the brake and odo cable running from to the bottom and having some obstructions in between hence not able to move freely (very remote though as this a new scoot,but could also be a issue with the frok which could be slightly bent).

Above are best guesses I can think of with the details you have provided,If you can provide more info with pics perhaps can make more sense,Details as when did it start? was there any accident (small or otherwise),Did you try to look at the vehicle from all angles and have found anything out of the ordinary ??

Regards

Re: Honda Dio, Activa and Aviator

Hi,

Hey guys this is my first post here,Been a passive member from quite some time but finally decided to join and post.

I have an Aviator and have recently done some vinyl wraps to it (will be posting a thread on that soon).

Hi guys my first post.

After some significant effort managed to Xerox/photo copy the service manual of Aviator 102cc Full and supplementary manual for 110cc, also xerox/photo copied the Activa 125.

Also managed to xerox/photo copy the service manuals (except electrical,bulb pages) of Activa 110,Activa 3G 110 HET.

I searched for best copy centers and concluded that the ones made by Xerox have the best Photo quality as good as the original may be 10% drop.

The place where I copied,I asked them to keep a soft copy of the Activa 3G full service manual in PDF.But they charge it for it ,since i didn't pay for the scanning charges which was Rs 5/page.If any one want a printed copy of it or any other PM me.
If i pay the copy center the full price of scanning(only the activa 3g) which amounts to Rs700 or so at Rs 5/page is their charges for scanning,then i can just upload it online for everyone to see.
I had to do all this in a short few hrs and return the service manuals.Don't ask me how I got the manuals.

Only the activa 3g there is a digital scanned copy at the copy center ,scanned from the original service manual book.There is no digital scanned copy of any other manual,Only the xerox paper copy i have for my use.

Buddy I would really appreciate if I can the Aviator and Activa manual,Please do let me know as Am also from Bangalore as well.

Regards.
