Re: Hero Impulse ownership experience
Hello fellow xBhpians, I needed some help to clear my doubt.
I was browsing Olx and found a good deal on a 2014 model Impulse run for only 8200kms. As, no good off-road motorcycle is available in the market as of now, I was thinking of buying it.
So, I needed to know, if that would be a good decision?
If yes, then what all would I need to check when I would be inspecting it. Asking here since who would know better than the owners.
TIA.

Do you know, That thing has the worst gear ratios ever for a 150cc. ATB Bud.
Going to Himalayas on that from Hyderabad. you better sell your home and keep cash handy for fuel. Riding that long on impulse at high RPM.. get prepped to buy a Petrol bunk on the way and be prepared to get the engine fixed.
Indian Junta are the most sensible of the world. That's why they buy tons of Activa's, which has the best ride and handling along with the best braking prowess in the segment with unquestionable reliabilty.Leave a comment:

.. got an Impulse finally after searching very very hard for about 2 months..
when impulse was launched I was sold but small income at that time didnt allow me to buy it( so I took glamour that time), the bike has immense potential which alas Indian Janta ignored....now I will be using it for fun in this rainy and potholed filled roads of Hyderabad and the Himalayas of course-next year.This thread is greatest treasure of knowledge for Impulse, teaser...

Re: Hero Impulse ownership experience
Hi All,
Currently I am located at Bengaluru, if any fellow Impulse's owners from Benagluru had gone through modifications like additional lights or HID to improve overall light exposure it will be great if you can re share. Such information might be available in same thread.
TIA

Re: Hero Impulse ownership experience
Plonked that on today. Cranked the engine and it was alive straight away. A slight blip on the throttle sent vibes through the handlebar unlike the stock mill running on a heavy reciprocating piston. Ported the manifolds a little with valves as stock still but the head face shaved by 0.6mm.Originally posted by Ankitvile View PostJust a little overbore on a spare engine around. Shifting now from stock 57.3mm bore to 65.2mm with almost 190cc on paper. Yet to plonk it back in.
Low end has got a significant bump. The vehicles propels from rest beautifully. With rpms less on the tacho as compared to stock, it cruises relaxed at 50-60kmph. Feels a lot like riding a zma engined Impulse with less Kgs on.
Now in the break-in period.Leave a comment:

Re: Hero Impulse ownership experience
Just yesterday replaced the factory 35W bulb with the Philips 40W HS1 bulb it seems bright at the moment but time will tell how good it will come on highway...
Want to know how much higher W bulb would be safe on Impulse?Leave a comment:

Re: Hero Impulse ownership experience
None. Had an engine lying around. Took that to a boring shop after lots of brainstorming. Will get the block installed in a day or two by a mechanic.Originally posted by omkappoor999 View Post
As far as a good mechanic about which you asked in Doon is concerned I told you the best ones before.Leave a comment:

Re: Hero Impulse ownership experience
i would suggest to get hold of a friend who own an impulseOriginally posted by spartacus69 View Post
then fit your carburretor in his bike
then see if the problem persists in his bike
also fit the carb from your frnd bike
to your bike
then see
how it goes
So concluding
If your friends bike
with your carb
goes well then there is some other problem in your bike
then it would be something else in the engineLeave a comment:
