Re: Hero Impulse ownership experience


Nice to know @surya111 that u brought those guards for @dragon_rider..in mumbai its nex to impossible to get them now. U can get cheap colored ones though but not these.



For ur better understanding Surya I have put the image; there should be equal distance between that line on tyre and rim(pointed by arrow).






Rear wheel does wobble if tyre not fitted properly as per its groves n also if the tube is not of correct size.

Hope it helped, if not then feel free to ask more questions buddy.

Re: Hero Impulse ownership experience

Hi Vishwa, the bike looks great and the dragon logo too, and my horrible experience with sai motors finally over yesterday i went there and spoke to Mr.Rajan, sai motors MD and after waiting for 2hours they said there is a bike in majestic motors and from there i went to see myself weather the bike is in good condition finally i said bike looks good so will take it, after taking the bike i saw the handle grip is broken in the edge then told them to change it finally in the evening the bike was taken to sai motors. planing to take on monday from showroom hope the one month wait finally comes to an end .....................

Re: Hero Impulse ownership experience

Hi I found 1 problem I tried to googled out but not sure whether it clutch slipping or something else
Whenever I am riding my bike on top gear ( 4 or 5) at proper speed and RPM suddenly i can see revv going up like spike and can feel small jerk on rear wheel is.

is it really clutch slipping how can i resolve these problem and also big clunk sound on 1stgear
(I am already done with 1st service @ 550 kms and its 700 + on odo )

thanks

Re: Hero Impulse ownership experience


Hi buddy,


What u have mentioned is the result - "Rev/RPM increasing n jerk on wheel" but can u share the symptoms like what/ when exactly does it happen? Bike wont rev up unless u twist the throttle hence thrs No chance of RPM goin high like that. Do u feel any abnormal movement in ur throttle or how's the clutch working? Cos I have crossed 5k mark on odo n nvr experienced any sudden jump in rev even when idling. Please take another ride, experience/feel the issue n share, it will b helpful for u n for us as well.

U r mixing up 3 issues -
1. Jump in rev
2. Jerk in rear wheel
3. Clutch slippage

To avoid big clunck sound on first gear, dont engage the gear when RPM is high. If its still makin that sound then maybe the idling RPM is higher than required.

Re: Hero Impulse ownership experience

Checked for Iridium spark plug in ahmedabad not available here..

Planning to order from PlanetDSG they are offering iridium spark plug for xtreme and hunk . As all you people might know stock spark plug for Impulse is CPR8EA-9 there is no Iridium versio/variant for these particular model (Hunk and Xtreme is also having same spark Plug)

so folks which spark plug will they be delivering to me ..( I also tried on there helpline which not turn s out to be fruitful)

Re: Hero Impulse ownership experience

Hey Guys,

I am happy to share that my Impulse has covered 5500+ KMs in 4 months. Been on couple of long trips, otherwise just the city run.

She has been performing extremely well, so far I have only installed Iridium spark plug n no other mods. The best part about rides is the comfort n the commanding stance it provides on-road or off-road. Its so silent that at times I feel like i am riding on an electric bike, 1-3 gears does give negligible thump but on 4-5th gears above 50+ speed n the firing changes just to a turbocharger like sound, which gives the feeling that its asking for more even if its doing 90 already. It doesn't shake or rattle beyond 100KMPH but yes it does have an odd sound at those speeds.
This bike is capable of touring as well, I rode this bike for hours at a stretch without any fatigue apart from knee pain due to staying in same position for longtime; no back aches whatsoever. Even after a day long ride n sight seeing of 350KMs return, I was not feeling tired. Only little complaint I have is it's headlight, its very weak n focus is not easy to set, even though its controlled by the screw below headlamp...maybe I'll have to work more on it to get it right or else I'll install an additional light on side guard for better night visibility.

Can anyone suggest me a helmet which can block wind noise to a good extent, I have friends who have LS2, Sparx n SOL but I dont want that heavy n expensive helmet. Currently I am using a glossy black, tinted glass - Vega Formula HP.

Things I do to maintain my Impulse:

1. I tighten n lube the chain with 90w oil at regular intervals
2. Oil the clutch n brake levers almost every fortnight
3. Wash n Polish every month
4. Check oil level regularly
5. Avoid unnecessary mods like fiddling with electricals n exhaust system
6. Keep optimum tyre pressure n above all avoid rash driving like plague
7. Check all the nut, bolts if they r tight enough
8. In city I avoid riding it at 50+ , never cross the 5K RPM mark on Impulse, unless required.

Most importantly - Start the bike n let it be on idle for about 30secs -1 min everytime when ur bike was parked for more than an hour. Because the oil tends to drain down from engine parts back to engine bowl.

Please share ur experience with your Impulse and maintenance tips too.

Burnoutdee

Re: Hero Impulse ownership experience

Petrol pump wala says "sports bike"
Office people says "Monster bike"
thrice being asked by Carwala about cost and cc's all
i say sometime "90's ajay devgn's movie bike" and "Maut ka kua" wali bike

people passing by bike never misses to take a look of it (its common for all days)
Our Impulse is like pearl in an ocean full of 2 wheelers

Re: Hero Impulse ownership experience

Strongly agree. When i was riding on devbag beach in goa on my impulse, an aussie was enquiring about it to me. He wanted to ride it on the beach and offered 10 Aussie dollars for it but i gave him a ride for free (atithi devo bhava)
The best comment i have heard is "hey thats a bmw bike na" and i was smiling inside my helmet.
People really stare when i had screaming cosworth filter in it.
