Dude,whatever your point maybe there are better words to express them.i havent been offensive against you.im just talking about the service provided at the Honda service centres.
If you are happy with the service,very well.im not,as i do expect better service and value for money.
As a customer i dont need to worry about Honda's problems.Its their duty and their job.My job is to pay for the service i get.
Who will accept a broken dashboard in return of the money you pay for servicing? Forget abroad, even in India several companies offer better services.
reason like "developing" nation is laughable.
i know the problem you faced.we all supported you in that.nice you took everything positive.we all are here to help each other.not to debate.

Reminded me about "Art of Living" seminar i attended long back

+1.

Anyways,i didnt get the oil filter.dont know when it will arrive.my bike has done 550 on odo.im worried about exceeding 1k mark before getting the filter.
any suggestions?is it ok if i exceed the 1k limit without filter change?


cheers.

That swiss knife "thingy" is called Feeler gauge

Thank you for letting me know . i am more technologically equipped now

Me neither;

Nice point; well your points are really valid & true be frank, that's what everyone expects. But again, this is India, we're not one among the developed countries. May be your's or my children MIGHT get better service in the future. Not for now.

Even I wouldn't

Wow!!! Is it? Pls tell me a manufacturing company that offers a great service for their motorcycles selling less than 1.5L. It might be better than C250R, but remember, they've come a long way.

Quite understandable, when people can't differentiate reality & expectation.

I know, I know; its not that I'm debating; I'm only asking you to move on; if you consider that as offensive, I don't know what to say. I don't believe in the kind of direct help, but rather one should help in self help on longer terms which is what I'm trying to do.

Trust me, I haven't attended one such class ever in my life, atleast till now. What I speak here is my direct experience, not a single exaggerated word. I only speak my mind.

Anyway, can we keep all these OT aside pls & pls forget it, if it hurts you.

Do it NOW!!! Do NOT wait for 1K. That's what I learned. Even if you had some issues, you can recognize early

Don't wait for K mark; infact a good friend of mine who's pro in automobiles adviced me to make 2 changes before K mark even if I'd to pay for labor & it certainly makes sense.

NO issues even if you exceed the 1k kms mark. Make sure you keep the service guys informed about this. I got my service done at 1110 kms on the odo. No issues with the bike nor the service guys.

So choose your words appropriately.there is no way to understand the tone or intention on forums as we are not talking directly.so words are all we have here, to express ourselves.

im not just talking about bike manufacturing companies.If services provided by car manufacturers can be good (like audi or even tata- both of which i have experienced),so can the services provided by bike manufacturers.
im sure companies like ducati who do not manufacture here provide better services.agree we pay much more for those bikes or cars,but just because we have bought something worth 2L or less doesnt mean we dont deserve the same quality.
& irony is, i got better service for my activa!never had any issues.same company....& i paid much less for it!so why the carelessness for CBR service?


Reality is,until we keep accepting the low standards we will never get better services.

offcourse everyone moves on.nobody wants to get stuck up with problems.i already cleared in my first post itself that im satisfied that i got the glass replaced and i dont care about minor watermarks.

I want to.So should you.


dude i "want to" do it now!but the service centre guys dont have the filters!!they have asked me to wait for few days.i dont know when the filters will arrive.so im worried.


cheers.

Postponing oil and FILTER change beyond FIRST 500 Kms is not adviceable. It is in the early running in time from 0 to first 300 or 500 Kms that the engine moving parts are tight and grinds against each other dropping their burs, metal flashes and particles into the oil, and the filter catches and holds them.The oil also goes through accelerated wear, and looses its property much quicker.For this reason a early change of OIL with OIL FILTER is good for your engine.....just my thought.

i have already done the service! im just waiting for filter change!! there is no fixed date when the filters might arrive.it may take several days!


cheers.

Oil filter not changed

During my first service on the 16th july 2011 , the asc guys did not change the oil filter and said they will change it at 2nd service or after 90 days, currently i have done 750 k on my bike, will there be any issues related to oil filter etc.plz advise.
and is it okay to clean the chain with diesel and apply grease,as that's what was done by asc guy and i scolded him and asked him to use chain cleaner and lube.

Bro if you havent changed the engine oil yet,then its fine you can wait until you get the oilfilter..but changing the engine oil without changing the oil filter is of no use coz the old oil filter is going to spoil your enigne oil soon.

Which, IMHO, is very much valid thought & would strongly agree to it

One way to increase the height of the clip-ons

Hi friends,

My Pune-Rajkot trip proved beyond doubt the pressing need to increase the height of the clip-on handles.

Fitting a standard bike handle bar was out of the question: it would have involved drilling into the base plate and in any case, there was not adequate slack available in the cables.

As of the time of writing, the extensions have gone for chrome plating. I will be on leave from 22 Jul till 07 Aug. Will post the final result in the week ahead.

You are attempting a dangerous modification, by making a separate attachment to raise the clip on position...In an emergency situation with hard front brake application the clip on will be under tremendous stress, and having joints, that too on the vertical plane is highly risky...

While the Left Extension piece will tighten with braking, THE RIGHT HAND EXTENSION WILL ACTUALLY TURN ANTI CLOCKWISE..ie., WILL BECOME LOOSE....Because your extensions are threaded type.

Kindly rethink on your mod.

Guys ,

Need Help !!
