Welcome @sidhubudhu,


What quality u r referring to bro? They just waste our time, money n machine. I always stand on their head when they are working on my bike, yet they manage to miss out on one or the other thing n I have to kick their rears to make them complete the job properly...I am speaking out of experience - its not easy to be allowed in their workshop but trust me u have to make them realize that if they screw up ur bike then u r not going to spare them. Never accept the sub-standard service, calmly speak to the head of service center or ask for area manager. It will help!

Major goof-up they do esp. with Impulse is to change the oil while bike is parked on side-stand. Since the bike stand almost upright they feel its ok to do that, make sure they park it on paddock stand before changing the oil.

Due to their inefficiency at their job, I learnt to work on Air-Fuel Ratio, maintaining the chain and other tidbits of my bike, I made fuel economy testing kit, paddock stand too.

You can share ur difficulties here (if any) we all help each other here.

Regards.

Welcome @sidhubudhu,

You have made a right decision by getting this bike, to make the experience of Impulse even more enjoyable please dont compare Impulse with Pulsar neck to neck.(I know u have done that yet but comparison is inevitable). I also wanted the blue Impulse but it was not in stock at Autolink, Borivali so I got the black one.

1. Riding position is definitely the best in any class of bikes available in India, very comfortable & it inspires to ride even more. I rode 400Kms in a single day n yet had the energy to hangout with friends at night.

2. You are right the engine is same as Unicorn with a bit of tuning done to match Impulse's personality.

3. It took me almost a month to get used to gearbox n I still struggle to put it in neutral from 1st gear. Unfortunately, nothing can be done about it.

4. I advise you against putting any filter or new exhaust system on ur bike; after-market filters will suck in lot more air than stock filters which will require richer fuel intake hence
performance will increase a bit, sound will also be much better but at the cost of fuel economy and at the risk of welfare of engine because more the air, more the particles end up being sucked into engine which will corroborate the piston in long run.

5. I have installed the NGK Iridium plug too, its superb; much better than the stock. The cable cannot be installed because the stock cable is integrated in coil so they will cut it n then join the new cable which will defeat the purpose of adding the low resistance cable as it will still get the power from coil through stock cable. Its upto u if u would like that to be done on ur bike; but I did not install the cable.

6. So far I have not come across any performance mod for this bike...its a forgotten child of HERO, they have already discontinued the bike. Its upto us now to go thru the trial n error process on our beloved bikes.

Enhancing the performance will not help that much as its already decently performing bike; I took it for couple of long rides exceeding 350Kms continuous drive, went for total off-roading too once - it never tires or make u feel tired. Just maintain the bike good, lube the chain with 90w gear oil instead of chain lubricants, make sure to idle the engine every morning for 1 minute at least. Do not fall for so called performance enhancing mods or tricks as this will hurt ur bike in long run.

Ride safe, ride responsibly!

Regards.

If you look at the manual it mentions about 25 to 30 checks that need to be done, but these guys dont even do one forth of it.
I gave my bike for four services and they didnt lube the chain even once saying that they are out of chain lube every single time. I felt they didnt even change the engine oil on my second service. My rear tyre was wobbling and when i asked them to rectify it they said that they cant do it coz the bike does not have a center stand. They give such lame and petty replies that u wont feel like going back to them the next time.

WTF...I can imagine how disappointed u must be feeling. But u should take a stand n confront them with your feedback.

if anyone[ATTACH=CONFIG]115516[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]115517[/ATTACH] wants to make a centre stand for impulse>>>>>>>>this is my answer.....so many ideas....
