    I have been using for long time and so far none of my experience went bad with WD40.
    Check this video for more clarification...

    Whether or not WD-40 will keep your chain’s O-rings happy or ruin them is one of the most controversial topics in motorcycle maintenance. Will WD-40 destroy ...

        i have used WD40 on my NS and now on my CBR..

        It helps loosen up the gunk in ur chain o-ring and also lube it properly..

        I use WD40 before taking it to water wash, as it loosen up the gunk in the chain and help cleaning much easier..

            There are many youtubers using WD40 as chain lube.. Check MCN Garage video on it.. They have explained it clear about WD40..

              Will keep this in mind, thanks 😊. I feel like the front brake bite has slightly reduced , do I need to change brake oil or just clean n service the calipers, brake pads were recently replaced also what is the timeline for changing fork oil and does anyone have any options or alternatives rather than the svc ones?

                If bite is less then check for pads alone.. no need to service the caliper or change the brake fluid
                Fluid change is only needed wen you feel spongy response from the levers and oil changed to dark in color..



                Depending upon your Riding condition ( Road type, kms ) you can change the fork oil every 10k km..
                i use to do fork oil change every 10k km on my NS..

                  Correction: Not chain lube, but chain cleaner.

                    Just remove the pads and clean the pads and brake disc.

                      Damn that pop and crackling noise it makes during downshift xD

                            Just a slip on will ONLY give sound and no bump in performance. Rather single cylinder engines cant churn out much power if not race prepped

                              Hell Yes. Being a 6 years old lineup from Honda it still holds the potentials very well and trust us it's better than any other bike from same segment in terms of features(mind the ABS only, fancy things like LED and all you can add anytime), reliability and ownership cost.

                              I'm riding this for past 4 years and it is my first bike. My only problem is now a neck pain after a long ride say 200kms or more, but that's me only. Most of the people find the bike very comfortable for long distance.

                              The bottom line is you can take this machine to your trip with confidence and style.

                              Just a quick qus. What was the overall expenditure including fitting?

                                Hi, can you share the cost involved and the type of sound it is producing.
