Way to go!!!


That was the ideal time to get the oil changed for second time; hope you missed.


Err...not sure; anyway check the color of oil & decide; ideally it may not be required, but just check & take a call.


Manual also said 1000 Km 1st service isn't it ?

It was an awesome experience as a whole with every minute thing well planned by the dealer as well as honda reps

I also took the issue of aargee & sudeep who had PMed me & atleast from spares point of view things are going to change radically in metros & suburbs first & than in other areas

This are detailed events what happened yesterday at vihaan honda thane :

{important info from them was for next bigger bike probably in a year.
confirmed info was cbr150R by march in the range of 1.2 L in competion to r15}

This sounds really good-they say the bike hits 160 on the speedo&is very high revving (19.7 PS@10,500 RPM) racetrack oriented. A real competitor/threat to R15.
What about CBR600F-any mention?

DK - Tks very much for the update; had you not updated here, I would've posted asking the status

I wanted to know how they arrest the vibes; was there any rubber dampings etc or simply they tightened all the bolts. That still remains unanswered. All others are diplomatic answers

One question to Sarvajit - The 150cc bike touching 160 Kmph is it a fact or your assumption

160 is lil too much for a 150 and even 160 on the CBR250R is very difficult? and i find the model same as CBR250R with only design change in the silencer only so don't think its a racetrack bike.

This are detailed events what happened yesterday at vihaan honda thane :

The following people from honda gurgaon were present:
1)engine incharge - assembly line
2)weld incharge - assembly line
3)overall assembly - assembly line
4)2 service heads for complete bike
5)2 other men (dunno what - but they were with complete 3 page checklists for the cbr)
6)sales - a girl
7)dealership development & marketing - one man

customers present
1)me
2)gaurav
3)arjun
4)aziz
4)abhilabh

All the bikes were from first lot & had an average of 7k on odo with the exception of arjun's bike

dealer plus mechanics plus his service head

events:
1)morning bikes were marked with tag numbers from one to five before their arrival
2)than accordingly a sales interview was arranged with each of the customer.the lady carried an exhaustive feedback sheet of four pages which contained all kinds of details from colors,quality,horn , blah blah blah --
{important info from them was for next bigger bike probably in a year.
confirmed info was cbr150R by march in the range of 1.2 L in competion to r15}
3)A separate bay for cbr was inaugurated & similar setup is being replicated across all the dealerships now
4)every customer was than personally asked to explain his problem to them alongwith feedback from the dealer's mechanic who was handling tht particular bike
5)a stack of spare parts were brought down by them which had cone sets,disk pads,radiator assembly,mirrors,blinkers,foot pegs,chain sets,shims etc
6)all these things whichever were observed faulty were replaced immediately free of cost
7) my bike had a multitude of problems in the sense that it was screwed up by my local dealership in terms of servicing - so I got coneset replaced,suspension cleaned & re adjusted,no shims required as vibes were mostly due to bolts & other stuff being loose (I have no idea on this as the work was already done by mech in my absence but they now have disappeared),chain was cleaned,adjusted & lubed (a probable replacement in a month as it jumps a bit),a few trial runs by everyone & some minor adjustments finally gave me the bike I had expected it to be in the first place.
8)others got chain set replaced alongwith radiator assembly (because of fan jammed) as well as cone sets replaced

It was an awesome experience as a whole with every minute thing well planned by the dealer as well as honda reps

I also took the issue of aargee & sudeep who had PMed me & atleast from spares point of view things are going to change radically in metros & suburbs first & than in other areas

They will be at one of the dealerships in pune so anyone can get in touch if required.

I also complained about my dealer & the pathetic response he gives but am least confident anything can be done in that matter since he's a political bigwig

Anyone in mumbai or thane or navi mumbai, please book your bike from vihaan if not already done else get it there for service & experience what customer delight is all about

I have posted picture earlier. I have used Yamaha RX100 mud falp (2 nos ). I have put two holes to mud guard and fixed mud flap.

I bought 2 mud flap because i want to increase the length of mud flap so that mud will not splash on radiator and engine (to some extent).

It covers my radiator 100% and engine 50% from mud splashing from tyre.

They will be at one of the dealerships in pune so anyone can get in touch if required.
