I also keep going to the service station to keep getting the chain tightened every 3-4 weeks.

    Pray, do tell me, how does this problem disappear after sometime?

    Ha ha ... People stop fighting for small issues . Well the chain problem comes in all bikes . Main reason being : Sorry have to bug you all with a small story .

    As you all know there are two chain sprockets in which the chain rotates . While assembling the bike no one is going to check the diameter of the two exactly . They will just assemble it as it comes from the supplier : At the supplier end , they would have had subcontracting for some lot of parts . So as said there are chances that the two sprockets have a slight variation than the actual size required which is the reason why the chain gets lose . This is what i have learned with my past bikes as well as my UNI .

    Now @prajwalkashyap i think what @modifii meant to say was after some time we will get used to the problem . ha ha ... so chill bro .

    Go to the service center or any local mech in 4 to 5 weeks and get the chain checked & tightned .It hardly takes 2 to 3 minutes . I think we all can spend that much time for our bikes . ( My openion ,,, Please not to offend any one )

      1) it was not the fastest 150
      2) it was not the smartest 150

      but then i also knew HONDA makes the best Engine's in the world
      so i had no second options

      In 3 months have nothched up 3800 Kms and am extremelly satisfied by the performance

        currently i am using these ploishes..
        For plastic and rubber stuff -- RTC clear liquid polish
        For painted surface -- FORMULA1 Carnauba car wax..

          hi Puneet , i am a polish freak , and i can help u in this matter ,

          1. never polish your bike without giving it a good shampoo or else u will be polishing all the contamination with the body .

          2. never use the yellow cloth available on the streets to clean ur bike as it does more harm then good.

          3. if u have contamination on ur bike body use a clay bar to remove them first , ur bike body should feel very smooth before polishing and waxing.

          4. if u have followed the above step , now u are ready to polish ur bike to make it appear glossy. use any good polish , i use Amway SILICON GLAZE to polish my bike , it will give a very good gloss and an oily finish to ur bike's body .

          5. To retain this look and to save ur paint job from UV rays now polish ur bike with a good CARNAUBA wax , i use Meguirs HI TECH YELLOW WAX, and buff it with a clean 100% cotton towell .

          6. For ur Chasis & Tyres the shampoo is enough.

          7. Dust off ur bike everyday espicially in the evening after using it, so no dirt acumulates with the paint.

              Found this article : Hope this is helpful for you to understand the Clay bar concept

              What is a Clay Bar ?

              Espuma Clay Bar
              Espuma Clay bar is a mixture of clay base and various mild abrasives. Clay along with a clay lubricant is used to remove paint contamination. Road grime, tar, bugs, rust, tree sap and even paint overspray can be removed with a clay bar. Clay bars differ in color and density but what is most important is the type and amount of abrasive particles they contain. All clay bars will be labeled from “mild” to “strong” abrasive quality. Claying does not remove the clear coat of the paint but can cause marring or dullness if used incorrectly. When using a clay bar sufficient lubrication must be present to avoid scratching the paint. It takes a few passes of clay to feel the difference on the surface of the paint. To evaluate the effectiveness of claying dry the area and assess the paint and the bar. The paint should become slick to touch. The clay bar used should be turning gray. If the clay bar is dropped it must be discarded. The clay bar should be folded over frequently to expose clean surface. Claying does not replace polishing. It is a process that should be used before polishing compound is used. Claying should be used once or twice a year.

                Hi,
                You can also use Turtle Wax (that's what I use for my Uni) for your Uni. Just ask for it, in any nearby Four Wheeler Accessories shop. As for the Cleaning first, "shabbarak" already said the necessary things. Have a Happy and Safe Ride

                      Use any clean cloth thats 100% cotton (as its soft and doesnt scratch your paint), but for buffing off your wax use a cotton towel . you can always wash it after use

                              Clay bar are preety expensive and would be available at any good DETAILING Shop, i bought a Meguir one of 200 grams for 1800 bucks, it will last me for some 15 - 18 sessions . but remember to cut it into 4 pieces cause if u drop one piece while using it, its no longer useable . and after every sesion reshape it to expose clean clay .
