    Hi L.P.

    of course they had to tamper with the wiring since they had to take few connection to the indicator and the battery . But i was asking about the mechanical parts warranty . Forget the battery .I have faith that nothing will happen to battery .

      Yeah... even if anything happens to that low-powered battery, you get an excuse to upgrade...

      As per me, it isn't affecting the bike anyhow, so it should be just the battery (as per the manuals).. but just in case any problem arises due to the fault of battery, like bulb fusing, bike failing to start, HMSI may have an excuse... Anyways, than to confuse yourself more, I'd suggest better to consult the HMSI service station people..

              Security system.

              Can you please tell me from where did you buy the security system for the bike and how much does it cost if possible can you explain the features.
              Thanks in advance.

              Problem : Trip meter is not working . Other than that there is nothing much to discuss . I had fixed a security system for my bike with a remote start and off option . Will have to explain the same to the service center people to take care . Lets see .

                    The new console looks snazzier than the old one
                    Not worth replacing the 1st gen Uni's console though.. The 1st gen's console looks very contemporary..

                      Likely, it's in the '08 edition?

                          Ya you are right itz in the new 2008 edition. Btw i was searching for the speedo pic on honda web site and came to know that a grand pix edition is launched. But I would prefer a BLACK one over it. You can check it out @ " + strTitle + "

                            Guys from mumbai, can you tell me if there are any service centre around Goregaon (E). wondering if there is any in Malad? Or even around Sakinaka (near my work place). My Uni is due for servicing.

                              Maybe, you can snap one yourself then? BTW, try avoiding double-posts or, mods might bash you..

                              @rockrider: Here is the list of all the dealers in Mumbai -

                              You can call 'em up to figure out where their service station is....

                                Hi Guys,

                                My uni is 41k kms old in 3years time. I'm really happy with the bike. I have given the bike for a full service to my mechanic. Have spent around 10k for the complete overhaul.
                                I had to change the mass cylinder and front brake calibre cos the old ones made too much noise. The engine work alone cost me 5k. I also had to change the battery.

                                My wing will be back this week. I will post some pictures!
