you damn right my riding trips is very short 12km up and down maximum 20kilometers per day

Hello Xbhp friends, I am new to this forum and a proud owner of a white hero Ignitor (Disc). Had to wait more than 2 months for this one. Enjoying all the attention I get on the road. However, i feel the gear ratios are too close. I was doing just 40kmph in 5th gear at 4000 rpm. Its good for city, but for speeds above 50, the bike starts feeling underpowered.

Got my first service done
they change the gasket cover? i dont know what that is

i paid extra Rs. 300/- for coating the whole bike, mechanic told me that it will save your bike from scratches

i having good experience till now
can i go above 40kmph now?
by the way i ran 50+ today

Gasket cover change in first service!!! Did they open the crankcase or the engine?? My ignitor gives me 49 kmpl in city (1st service yet to be done). However the gearbox has to tendency to go into neutral while shifting from 4th to 5th. Do you experience the same??

normal

The gearbox is removed and centrifugal filter is checked for any metal particles/dust, it is cleaned and hence new gasket is put in place...this is normal for all Hero/Honda bikes

A little chrrrrrr sounds came when i use disk break now

what could be the problem

It's the dirt inside the disc pads, which is making this Sound.
Remedy -
1) Either splash a mug or two of wtare, directly on to the disc.
2) Take it to SVC, they will open up the pads, and blow out the dirt..

my bike gave me 35kmpl
till 820km runs

There have also been instances where some stunner owners were getting similarly 35 kmpl only. So its not a case only with Ignitor. Get the bike checked at service centre. If u regularly top up at a local fuel station, try different one. I used to get 30 kmpl in victor GLX when using local HP petrol, when i emptied the tank and put shell fuel, i was getting above 35 kmpl.

no i switch petrol pump everytime average is still 30-35
and im running 50-60kmph

Its not the speed .... or Petrol .... Its you my friend ,

Question 1 : Your route is less than 5KM .. True or False (If True, Lots of On Off's waste bit of Petrol as you starting from Neutral again)
Question 2 : Your City drive is bit crowdy you used to love your CLUTCH True or False ( Whenever your pressing the clutch much its sucks Petrol )
Question 3 : You always try to Drive in 5th Gear in the city, and crowd makes you shift down early True or False ( When ever you driving with High Gears in low speeds .....)
Question 4 : Do you know Hero Glamour's Average is 45isssss Per ltr True or False ( if true .. then your bike carry little bit more weight so (+-) 5KM vary.....
Question 5 : Do you complete your 2nd Service Yes/No ( If No then tell SVC peoples that you want to Tune for Higher mileage )

P.S : Do not Blame your Bike for anything,Personally i think they have a Heart if you started to hate them in return they also start creating problems ... Love him like your own child , No bike offer everything.I Drive Splendor its offer nearly nothing neither 100cc like Mileage,Suspension,speed .. But i love him .. when ever i am in need its Never betray me Its usually give headech over 80's .. but one day my neighbor uncle gt a minor heart attack,i just rub my hands to petrol tank and say Please ... its run as fast as 90's without any vibe

Answer 1: yeah its 6km on 1 side journey, and i dont off my engine on redlights, i only shift to neutral
Answer 2: No the route i picked up, i cant say its crowdy, its okay okay
Answer 3: i only reach 5th gear when speed is above 40, 4th gear till 40, 3rd till 30
Answer 4: no i dont know that
Answer 5: No i didnt completed my 2nd service yet its due on 13 Feb 2013

Answer 6: NO man i dont hate my bike, i love it i love it i love my bike even if it gave me 30kmpl

Re: Hero Ignitor

Guys bought a red Hero Ignitor on 10/5/2013 really loving the bike.
Till now covered 269 km in it.Now while shifting from 4th to 5th gear the great seems too hard as compared to shifting between other gears.Is it a common problem or Something wrong with my bike.

Re: Hero Ignitor

problem will be solved in 1st service

Re: Hero Ignitor

I know its a very old post I'm replying to.

1. Switch off your bike at signals with more than 35-40 sec of wait.
2. Upshift in the higher RPM band, somewhere in the 70% area where the bike generates max torque. Say, the bike makes max torque @10k RPM, upshift @7k RPM.
3. Upshifting should not be decided on speeds, rather the RPM. Just try to follow the above point.

Finally, your carb is tuned too rich. Get it adjusted @SVC just a wee bit less towards optimal position. Your mileage figures would improve. Also, do NOT lug the engine. Doing 40kmph in 5th gear will NEVER give a good mileage. Let the engine be comfortable in its power band.
