    Can anyone here is familiar with crank balancing gear/ idle gear ?

    need urgent help. My mechanic said that part is common with Unicorn engine but same issue that the guys at Honda store unable to get the data and part number for the same.

    TIA

    Everything works except the meter. What is the price I should be paying ?

    What all should I check and how is the availability of general spares for this motorcycle ?

    (help with spare availability other than thesparescompany will also help me a lot)

    I would say, take a good mechanic with you. Check for any oil leakage from the cylinder. Check if the clutch plates or gearbox make noise while shifting, check for any tapering noise or knocks from engine and finally run the bike upto a decent speed to know the engine condition and stability.

    Unfortunately theres no way to identify engine life.
    Cant say about spares availability.

    Piston etc life may be less ,depends how the owner has ridden it for 45k kms, timely engine oil was changed or not.
    High risk here.

    Apart from that, everything is working fine.

    And yes, I am worried about the same - 45k kms ! Engine rework looming close, what all engine components does it NOT share with the unicorn ?

    The owner has no idea about the rare availability of these spares and I do not think the bike has got anything changed regarding suspension or even the swing arm bushes !

    Let's see how the deal goes.

    I am also from uttarakhand bro,from the capital dehradun.
    Sourcing parts for my karizma is an headache somtimes ,which was sold way more than impulse.

    Sourcing them in Haldwani would be more difficult

    A bike run 45k is up for sale ,means that it would require some part replacement ,if the owner hasnt done so.

    I am from Uttarakhand and as the saying goes, biking culture is not developed here. Will this be a hurdle in procuring parts ?

    I am 300 odd kilometres away from Delhi.

    The availability of general spares is easy(only general spares) which are shared with other bikes but rest are hard to find even in hero asc.
    Dont rely completely on sparescompany
    they have listed each and every part ,but sometimes its difficult for them to get some parts
    and takes time to get them.

    Yes I'm planing to go to Bhutan in March 19 so before that I need my impulse to be perfectly fit and fine.
    Though I never need one main stand, I once broke rear wheel bearing when I was on 600km ride but never felt like having it.
    Nice thing.
