Re: Mahindra Mojo Owners Reviews and Experiences

True much awaited update, but they could have used this opportunity for:
1. Improve the useless bulb based indicators to some bright LED ones, current owners will agree how weak that rear indicator is, even if you are just 2-3 meters behind the bike, they are barely visible in bright daylight.
2. Improve the headlight bulbs to brighter one 55w/55w instead of 35w/35w, in spite Mojo having 2 clusters, they barely do the job on highways. I've seen countless Mojo's who have upgraded to white halogen bulbs or to LED ones and the improvement is 200% on highways!

Everything else is spot on, if I can only complain would be losing the USD and Pirelli Diablo W rated tyres, but it does the job USD or non USD is fine for city/highway use and easier to maintain, only that you'll lose some steering and handling feedback. Tyres can be upgraded by user, so no worries there.

Re: Mahindra Mojo Owners Reviews and Experiences

Thats one that thing that worries me...is the changed gearing...i noticed that on the jawa is the low end is good...but the power tapers quite quickly...that would explaing the lower top speed...hoping thats not the case with the new mojo...

Re: Mahindra Mojo Owners Reviews and Experiences

Yup, I also wish they updated the front fascia with LED projectors and made it look sharper like the MT-09.

Re: Mahindra Mojo Owners Reviews and Experiences

But the Mojo has always had the DOHC setup instead of the SOHC of Jawa if I'm not wrong. So top end would not suffer that much and will be more peppy than the Jawas.

Re: Mahindra Mojo Owners Reviews and Experiences

All Jawa models are DOHC, both Mojo and Jawa make the same amount of power, but Jawa makes 2Nm less torque but in at 1000-1500rpm lower than the Mojo, that's how all classic cruisers are where the torque is expected at low end for relaxed cursing, they are never aimed at doing top speed runs.

Also the change is only at the rear sprocket with a 1 teeth bigger sprocket for the Mojo, the loss of top speed will not be more than 4-5kms, but this is again compensated with a smaller tyre size one new Mojo with a taller side wall (150*60% = 90mm vs 140*70% = 98mm) and 50mm more tyre circumference (1920mm vs 1970mm) where you'll again gain back 3-4kms top speed compared to old Mojo, gear ratios are still the same as old Mojo XT.

Re: Mahindra Mojo Owners Reviews and Experiences


Hmm..not sure....i get a feeling that its not for the better....the chain sproket change would bring more hooliganism to wat was a confortable tourer...and wld be less well behaved in traffic....5 kmh drop in top speed is signicant as is the older XT dint really go above 150 comfortably...and added to that...the reduction in tyre spec and using a lower grade tyres...

Again it depends on what weight the bike carries...which i dont think is much changed ..as the ut didnt weight much lower than XT...even after losing the silencer...Guess the telespic folks are heavier ??

Im really not sure....unless i td...but the signs defintely dont look good ....

Re: Mahindra Mojo Owners Reviews and Experiences

The motorcycle hits peak power at 145kmph, why bother pushing it further since its a touring motorcycle?

Re: Mahindra Mojo Owners Reviews and Experiences

Those are not hard fixed components on the bike, you can anytime wish to replace the older XT sprocket once your current one wear out
Same with the tyres, you can anyday switch to older 150/60 tyres once your current once wear out (Rim pitch size has not changed)

So I don't see a big deal there, if once is willing to spend extra 5-7K, they can revert back old XT specs from Day 1 of buying the bike instead of waiting chain and tyre to wear out. Sell the new tyre and chain set to local mechanic for 50% price and still be good with.

Re: Mahindra Mojo Owners Reviews and Experiences

Hmm...tats true...any idea if the ABS is retrofittable to older models?

Re: Mahindra Mojo Owners Reviews and Experiences

Nope, not possible. It's been discussed many times on this thread and other Duke 200, R3 thread.

But like all mods it can be done if someone from our "Mods own country" gets their hand on it, but it'll not be a easy job direct fit job, even if can be done it'll cost upto 30% of new bike cost close to ₹40-50K assuming you are able to get all ABS spares from the showroom.

List of things you'll be needing
1. New ECU
2. ABS module and sensors
3. Front fork and rear swing-arm assembly (to attach the sensor), also new front alloy wheel may be (not sure)?
4. Front disc and rear disc assembly (which will have the ABS ring)
5. New full wiring kit
6. New Speedo meter (this will also reset your ODO reading)
7. ABS and brake piping
8. Weld some mount points on the chassis to fit the ABS module
9. Lot of labour, time and money
10. Creativity

Re: Mahindra Mojo Owners Reviews and Experiences

That's the problem with people...they don't understand engines and bikes...they only see 150 kph speed... 'oh my god my bike is not going above 140'

Mojo is a touring motorcycle not a race bike like a R15 or a RC...I don't think doing speeds of 140 and 150 is really safe on Indian roads...plus this bike is not meant for 150 kmph speeds...if you are looking for outright acceleration and top speed...Mojo is the wrong bike for you to be very honest...

Re: Mahindra Mojo Owners Reviews and Experiences

That true..agree..Mojo is a touring bike...But top speed is also a indication of the general cruising speed of the bike...Himalyan can do a top whack of 135 but its confotable cruising speed is only 85-90..soo...its my belief that if u need to improve the crusing speed to say abt 120-125..you really need to be 155+ on the top speed...

Re: Mahindra Mojo Owners Reviews and Experiences

Bang on!

I would also add that so called experts and customers in INDIA are not matured and not updated.

Re: Mahindra Mojo Owners Reviews and Experiences

Why not go with a more scientific approach, because otherwise top speed/cruising speed etc would start varying from person to person.

Ideally the comfortable cruising speed of a motorcycle is at its peak torque, that is even under max load and incline the rev's would not go below the peak torque. As for top speed that would be at the RPM where the motorcycle makes peak power due to the obvious, now you could argue that you could cruise or go faster at higher RPM's but then that would depend on a multitude of external factors i.e payload, wind resistance and what not.

Hence for example on my P220 I consider the cruising speed to be at 100kmph which comes at 7000 RPM and the top speed to be at 125kmph which comes at 8500 RPM, both are true speeds, for speedo indicated speed you could add another 5kmph to it.

Another example for the Himalayan computed on Gearing Comander, at peak torque the motorcycle does 90kmph and at peak power it does 135kmph. Which seem to the similar to the speed's you've mentioned from your experience with the motorcycle.

I believe if people do a bit of reading and understanding before opting for a motorcycle it would help them vastly when it comes to avoiding any unpleasant surprises mid ownership.

Re: Mahindra Mojo Owners Reviews and Experiences

Very good point Ashwin..though I am not that technically sound about bikes..but I understand in general sense that a single 300 to 400 motor churning out around 30 bhp of power and good torque is good enough to cruise from 90 to 110 kph...Mojo does 90 kmph at 5k rpm in 6th gear and stays relaxed, which is good enough for touring purpose...plus Mojo is heavy and if you are carrying luggage (for me it's always the case), I don't think going beyond 110 is a good idea for me because roads in India are full of surprises but that does not mean that it won't go...
