HI trustvishwas. I know they havent sold a lot of bikes but what they has sold is a lot smiles...a lot of satisfied souls..a lot of happy faces..a lot of dreams.....a lot of attitude...a lot of passion...and a hell lot of satisfaction when u park the bike after a long ride.....a lot of everything u want your bike to have..looks..power..handling and above all a V-Twin.
i never owned one myself so cant tell about quality but i em hoping it will be better that CBR250..that's all i want. if the bike brakes down ill get it fixed..as simple as that. its a machine after all...and a complicated one i dont expect it to be like a spender or passion....fill it shut it...where is the fun in that....where's the adventure. ...if u want to buy a perfect bike then i em sorry ...it doesn't exist....ur apple may be sometimes lemon. i don't know what bike you have but i em sure u love it so do i...a machine is meant to be respected...after all ur handing ur life to it....u don't treat it good....it will bite back...so....may be GT650 is not a good bike...but it will bring a smile on my face and that's what i em looking for....as does my CBR250R..everyday..from day 1...."smiles per miles".

got a K & n panel filter fitted ,could only test it for 40km,the bike felt ultra smooth & the best part was in bumper to bumper traffic constant gear changing reduced drastically i.e the bike seemed to to be pulling in one gear higher as compared to earlier.

I had aminor fall last month. Such minor that there are scratches on the fairing and heat sheild of the exhaust and the front indicator has bent. But the alloys has bent. This kind of quality issue is not at all expected out of Honda.

if you want to increase the low rpm torque you can do a free DIY.. just remove the filter cover.. the rectangular plate.. keep the filter stock. though
it sound loud more like a FF air filter but i have found a considerable diffrence in torque between 2.5k - 4k rpm range.

havent really noticed any FE change..
cant say the bike goes fast or slow.. can be placebo due to the sound it makes..

but theoritically more air is getting in.. ecu must be throwing in more fuel or i dont know whats its doing
but city ride has become very comfy ..


the best part of removing the cover is that all the vibes that i used to get till 5k have disappeared like 95 %
try it... remove the front seat.. unscrew 2 bolts remove the plate and put the seat back on. if you dont like it
put it back after testing for 2 days...

Hey icemang , how are you?.......you name suggests u have a ice..so keep it cool...very easy it lose it.. anyway see the youtube video of the exhaust..... maybe the exhaust note will make you happy..

A pic of the bent alloy would be useful. How did it fall? Sideways? or did it fall from a height? Where is the bend located? in the middle or the sides?

Guys need help...

Wanted to change the tyres for my Bike, both front and back have worn out completely, almost 21K on the odo...
thought of putting PSD but found no dealer/retailer with good feedback in Delhi.
Now planning to change to a new set from Conti Go.

Can anyone tell me or rather suggest me from where can I get PSD in delhi at a genuine price along with price range/contact details of the dealers?
If not PSD, is there any other brand which I can purchase for my bike? again price range and dealer in Delhi NCR with contact will be nice.

Its kind of urgent now as I am experience serious issue of "Fish Tail" while riding and loosing confidence on its grip.

Thanks in Advance...

Bad advice i'l say. In the process of letting more air into your engine, you are also inviting fellow dust particles in large quantities along. Which in the long run will only hamper your bike's performance. Sure it sounds better but it is worth it in the long run?

i would like to know how will dust particles get inside ??
i have not tinkered with the filter even 1 % just the covering so i am theoretically and practically letting the filter do what it is supposed to do.
along with that i go against Honda's recommendation of changing filter every 12 k .. i do it with every service/6k
also the filters are tested with high air volume.. what the bike pulls is just the fraction on it....

if the dust particles have to get inside then i don't think while i air goes through the bent snorkel they will be omitted.. its just that the passage has been changed.. with the air being sucked.. dust is int that heavy to settle down so soon. yeah the air is getting sucked more. .but i believe i am still letting the filter do what it is supposed to..primarily my purpose was not to increase the sound as at 4k-5k rpm its gets very bassy inside the lid.. i just tried a DIY and it works for me..

if filter is letting the dust particles to pass through.. then the filter is flawed trust me...


in a place like india.. can you really ignore dust.. its everywhere.. like almost everywhere...

Your last sentence actually gives you the answer to your own question.
WHile you agree that in India you cannot ignore dust, then it is common sense that the air already carries most of the dust.
The permeability of the filter material is what matters. The stock filters are designed to be as optimal as possible with respect to filtering the dust from the air. The only way to increase air flow in the engine is by increasing the permeability of the filter which means more air+dust into the intake...

i also mentioned that these filters are tested with way more air than what the bike actually sucks in.. thats when they quote the CFM value of the filter flow and its capacity..

Hi Sneh,

PSD is best for CBR but is unavailabale. So the safest bet will be MRF REVZ. Also you could look at Dunlop Tuffgrip. Both these tyres come in stock sizes. I have used MRF Zapper Q on my ZMA previously, hard compound, not good grip in wet but don't have any idea about Dunlop. Heard its good next to PSD, even in wet. You could check it out.
