Re: Mahindra Mojo Owners Reviews and Experiences

Plastic cover was already installed. Also new model is slightly refined.

Re: Mahindra Mojo Owners Reviews and Experiences

Not yet a Mojo owner, but soon.
Took the test ride at Alfa Motors Whitefield, Bangalore. It is indeed the only option for RE owners/ prospects. And a very good one at that.
The bike feels heavy (in a good way), Planted and eager to go - all at the same time. I have had the TBTS 500 for a few years and toured extensively. She used to get quite nervous after 90 KMPH and curves were not well taken. Also after the said speed the engine, chassis and every nut and bolt screamed for mercy.

Next was the CBR 250RA - Awesome machine. 120 and you can yawn in relaxation. But my palms used to pain and it is a no-no for city - especially Bangalore. So had to let her go too.

After extensive search and disappointments, checked out the Mojo which I had actually written off. Thanks to this thread, that it was reconsidered and after the test ride, I am now ready to book it tomorrow. Alfa said they can make the black one available in 2-3 days and additional couple of days for Loan Processing (if availed).

The only one thing I hoped it would have is a Projector Headlamp and better options for attaching saddlebags. I would probably have to shell out another 7-8 K for the saddle bags and rear frame fitment.

The bike has a lot of character and I am ok to slow down during curves to give the chassis it's comfort zone. Brakes are good. As someone said, the bike actually stops but the rider is not aware that it is going to until it does.. LOL.

So lets hope that Javed picks up the phone and I can get the list of documents required and do the formalities tomorrow.

Thanks to one and all here for the rich and useful information shared.


- Exhaust_Note - the name was coined for the TBTS, but won over by the Mojo

Re: Mahindra Mojo Owners Reviews and Experiences

My palms and wrists used to hurt the first year I purchased the CBR. After a while, I got used to it. Still yawning at 120. 😃

Re: Mahindra Mojo Owners Reviews and Experiences

Agree 100%. But the challenge with the B2B traffic is another one which I could not deal with.

Re: Mahindra Mojo Owners Reviews and Experiences

Thanks dude for your reply. Dont know how my initial post got deleted. I was just trying to edit it (guess xbhp and my phone dont jell together very well). Well for the benefit of others (any myself) i will go ahead and repeat the question.

Just wanted to know if any Mojo owners here have gone ahead and lowered the front fork clamp to try and improve the handling around corners and if so has it worked without adversely effecting the ride quality of the bike.

Re: Mahindra Mojo Owners Reviews and Experiences

Many owners have done it and the feedback was positive from everyone. It did improve handling for them by a significant margin. The only issue is that the front number plate bracket gets lowered hence it would touch the front mudguard and damage it. So its recommended to remove the front number plate bracket and put the number plate as a sticker onto the doom (visor).

Re: Mahindra Mojo Owners Reviews and Experiences


Welcome the tribe bro ! Mojo is far ahead in NVH & performance than TBTS & classic 500. I had ridden classic 500 extensively & got adapt to its vibration.

But when i rode mojo for a first time, it surprises me alot.

Yes as you rightly said "The bike feels heavy (in a good way)". initially i found it difficult for 5 kms in city, thereafter its all fun in both city & highway.

got this photo in whatsapp group.
accessories fog lamps for mojo are available.

Re: Mahindra Mojo Owners Reviews and Experiences


Are these officially available at Mahindra Showroom?

I guess people who bought Mojo last year or earlier this year made a wise decision. But booking a Mojo today may be a mistake given that their ABS version may come out in next 2-3 months. I have observed that whenever a company re-launches a model with only cosmetic changes, chances are it is repainting existing model to sell out so that new model with actual hardware changes can be launched. I was right about this with Passion, Discover and Karizma and completely wrong with CBR. I was almost about to book the bike today but gave this fact a thought. The matte red color that I want already has a waiting of 2 months in Pune. I am thinking of taking my chances to delay my booking till August to get some news about new ABS model. I wan't to buy Mojo so that I start touring by this October and I hope new model may have changes like a mobile charger and a bigger pillion seat and more Mojo official accessories. Need your suggestions guys.

Re: Mahindra Mojo Owners Reviews and Experiences

Mahindra two wheelers hasn't been doing well. Hope that does not impact the release plans for the ABS version.

"It is one vertical which has not met expectations last year. We are currently in the process of deciding the way forward for our two-wheeler business," Mahindra & Mahindra Executive Director Pawan Goenka told reporters here.

While he did not share details, Goenka further said: "A formal announcement will be made in the next couple of months."

Explaining the rationale behind taking such a step, he said: "Volumes were not as we planned."

.......
The company's scooter sales were at 9,609 units in the April-May period, down 19.24 per cent from 11,899 units in the same period last fiscal.

Its motorcycle sales also declined by 60.72 per cent to 3,940 units from 10,031 units in the same period last fiscal.

The company's scooters business has fared better with its models such as Gusto, Rodeo and Duro than the motorcycles segment, where it currently sell the Mojo and Centuro models.

Re: Mahindra Mojo Owners Reviews and Experiences

"Goenka said the company's plans is to focus on the Mojo motorcycle and the scooter model such as Gusto 125 which is doing reasonably well."

This sentence from the article is my only hope. Else it puts a question whether to go with a Mahindra at all. I really love this bike but as now almost all of the time I would have a pillion with me, having a non-ABS bike would be a big mistake. Panic braking can happen with even the most experienced, esp in India.

Re: Mahindra Mojo Owners Reviews and Experiences


I was told that it will reach chennai dealership by this month end.
No it wont be so, if you're use to the brakes, ABS is not definitely needed.
ABS is safe, not doubt. But it gives perceptional confidence than actual.
I have used KTM 390 , very hard to find actuation of ABS even in panic condition.
Mahindra personnel confirmed me that ABS version will come only in next april
so don't wait if you have decided, Mojo is really a good value for money.

Re: Mahindra Mojo Owners Reviews and Experiences

I am not really sure if they need such an extended period of time to complete testing of the ABS version. Moreover, as far as I know even the current version is made in limited numbers so its not likely that they have large stocks of the bike lying around waiting to be purchased. Would have been great to have the Mojo with ABS (in my humble opinion...to each his own!). They could even allow the rider to turn the system off if he feels the need for it.

When me and my friend went for a test ride of the Mojo we did enquire about the ABS version and they did say that it would take time for it to be launched and suggested that we pick up the current version and get it fitted later (they assured us that it could be done..although it would cost significantly more).

I was looking at the Mojo with a lot of enthusiasm initially but now with the impending launch of Bajaj cs400 and the BMW TVS G310R(i know it doesnt seem like a touring oriented bike) combined with the news that Mahindra Two wheeler isn't doing well, I have decided to be patient about it.

I have been searching for a used example of the bike in Bangalore though but have found too few examples. It seems that more people are selling their Mojos in Delhi and Mumbai . Does anyone here know of Mojos that are to be sold in Bangalore. Also, what would be a fair price for a 2015 Mojo run around 10000kms in Bangalore.

Re: Mahindra Mojo Owners Reviews and Experiences

I was disappointed by Mahindra's attitude. They RSA spoke about the bike being a premium and hence no discounts of freebies at all.
I was OK with no discounts but the reasoning from a new comer into the market and not doing so well either was a surprise. The bike is good, but the company is not yet made it's name. What previous smaller two wheelers they made were not error free and engines used to have niggles. On top of that their service network is almost non existent from a tourer perspective.

So I decided to let the seemingly good bike pass and avoid the risk. Mahindra needs to get more bikes on the road, and the best way to do that is probably by making customers feel good about putting their trust and money in the Mojo.

Re: Mahindra Mojo Owners Reviews and Experiences

If you want freebies head to the Benelli stable. They give you cake, and maybe balloon, if it's your birthday. [emoji6]

Re: Mahindra Mojo Owners Reviews and Experiences

Spot on!
Initially you'll be awestruck by their gestures and all but later you'll realise how nicely they loot you in the name of service.
But in case of Mahindra, yes there are no freebies, but its absolutely fine since its already a VFM product. They use parts sourced from international brands, you get quality for a price. And the support so far has been really good for us Bangalore peeps, we get direct attention from senior executives of M&M when we raise any issue, so everything is solved in a timely manner with proper follow-ups. And the service cost is very low compared to the likes of Benelli. My 1st and 2nd service both costed about Rs.1500 each. So no much complains from my side.
