Re: Hero Impulse ownership experience


Hi Krishna,
It might be available here at Dehradun. and i can ship you that too. Once i reach back home ! For the meanwhile what you can do is file a complain at this no.
1800 266 0018
HeroMotorcorp will register your complain and make sure the part gets shipped within days ! I had my slide needle at the SVC within 3days of complain when i didn't received it for a month !

And as far as the steering races and bearings are concerned many of the Impulses have the issue of these wearing out overtime ! But several impulses haven't reported such issues too. 30000+ kms on the ODO and they are yet running on the stock bearings taking abuses offroad still ! My impulse has the same issue of what you and many others are experiencing of handle bearings getting loose very often !

So maybe its not the steering races/bearings that are faulty but the assembling procedure which is getting those loose every now and then and thus wearing off ! Just saying !

Re: Hero Impulse ownership experience

I searched all over the SKF website, and could not find a bearing with this serial number. Also tried a partial search - no luck. If anyone can help, I would appreciate greatly.

Re: Hero Impulse ownership experience

That is a bearing made by SKF.
Note down the bearing number (the one stamped on the bearing) and ask at a local spares shop or an skf dealer in your area.
You might also find a similar bearing from other companies such as nbc. Just use the part number stamped on the bearing.

Re: Hero Impulse ownership experience

Hey guys, really need help with parts for my ride. I have ordered at our Hero dealer more then a month ago, but still no word.

Part number 91051KYJ711S

My mechanic calls them "ball racers" these are the bearings for the steering. I need TWO of these as I need to replace both, top and bottom and they are identical.

If anyone can help, PM me. I am willing to pay for the parts, shipping and something for your time.

Re: Hero Impulse ownership experience

Hi Brothers, Rear Signal lights of my impulse were broken in my last trip to Araku (Andhra Pradesh). I have tried fixing them but they still look bad.
Any pointers where i can get the LEDs fixed as the Tail Signal Points?

I am in Hyderabad. So please let me know if anyone know the place/Person who can does these mods. Also need to replace my Headlight with HID one.

TIA,

Re: Hero Impulse ownership experience

I got it from asian motors mira road. I am sure you will get it at local spare parts stores too. I had enquired about clutch plates and they were available at many stores though you will get achiver's.

Re: Hero Impulse ownership experience

Thank God your problem solved ...I also faced same @20k on ODO. My problem solved automatically...
BTW please tell me where to procure vaccume piston.

Re: Hero Impulse ownership experience

Hi Guys...
Thanks for your immediate response and advice. Yes i changed the vacuum piston. It is readily available in mumbai. It seems running parts are now easy to source though i cant say about body parts. Bike is running fine now but it feels little sluggish... May be because of 20W40 oil or fine tuning of AFR is required.

Smoked slide and new one pics are attached...

Re: Hero Impulse ownership experience

The rear tyre is a 100/90-17 MRF Meteor. It fits directly. Its a good tyre and has not given me any problems so far. But I would still prefer the original CEAT Gripp-XL. I heard the Gripp-XL rear tyre costs around 5k in Chennai due to scarcity.

Re: Hero Impulse ownership experience

And another (maybe) characteristic problem of the Impulse A broken slide needle ! It has happened now twice ..first at 30k and second at 32K on the odo !
This was a month back at Rohru Himachal Pradesh returning from Chanshal pass when the bike wont get above 3000rpm mark due to the slide breaking from the near top (pretty much makes sense). Ordered at the agency at Hero, a month gone by it isn't available yet !
Also the slide get sucked into the engine the first time when i throttled my bike a lot after the needle broke (unaware me at that time). The second time it happened i didn't throttled the bike hard, as soon as the vehicle started refusing climbing the revvs up from the 2500-3000rpm mark ! I knew instantly it would be the slide. I opened the carb to remove the jet and turn it upside down to get the remaining part of needle out (sweet)! So just in case any of you witness the same breakdown in future don't aggressively throttle the mill (not so sweet) when it won't revv as it might be the needle and it can get suck into the engine !

Re: Hero Impulse ownership experience

Here this might help !

Re: Hero Impulse ownership experience

Get the fuel tap, tappets clearance, Chain sprocket checked. I suspect the tappet clearance.

Re: Hero Impulse ownership experience

Hi Guys...
From last 2000 kms while riding impulse i was feeling loss in power. Throttle response was not crisp. Its 20000 kms on odo. I serviced bike and changed air filter, spark plug and cleaned carb. Bike ran good for 3-4 days but then it started struggling to climb after 3000 rpms. Got it checked and mechanic told me to put new clutch plates. Achiver's plates were installed but problem persisted. We again opened the carb and found that slide was stuck. Cleaned it again, oiled it but no gains. I know many of us has faced this problem here with the carb and slide. Has any one found permanent solution? Should i go for a unicorn slide and install it? I just don't feel like riding my bike any more.
