Re: Mahindra Mojo Owners Reviews and Experiences

Yes for comfort but almost all the reviews mentioned pillon seat is small

Re: Mahindra Mojo Owners Reviews and Experiences

No idea. But rider comfort is 100% guaranteed.

I am thinking that you may be lugging the engine - try going to 4 or 5K rpm, its fine during running in. See if that helps, otherwise your nearby service center should fix this.

To be fair, me and my friend are 6'2" and 6'1" respectively and weigh in excess of 230 kgs combined, with the sole positive that I contribute to slightly less than half of that weight.
Here is the issue - the seat is thick enough to be comfortable as-is. But the bike pulls and the pillion feels like he/she is sliding off towards the rear. I think the pillion seat is not sloped forward enough and so there is always this fear of slipping off.
I am of the opinion that a backrest will fix this issue. You can find one such bike's pic somewhere in this thread.

Most importantly, though, please do not take my opinion as cold, hard fact. Please take a test ride with pillion and get actual feedback.
Mahindra is working on a saddlebag frame that can be used for mounting the backrest IMO. Look up the Auto Expo pics for this and there's a pic earlier in this thread too.

Re: Mahindra Mojo Owners Reviews and Experiences

Yesterday, I had a long test-ride of Mojo. With just a phone call, the sales executive of Alfa Motors arrived with the test-ride bike at my home after taking my appointment!

The first test-ride was a short one with the sales executive as my pillion. Even with the medium-built pillion, I was not comfortable. His thighs were touching mine. He was breathing on my neck! For short city commutes, it may be okay. But, for long rides, this bike is better ridden solo only.



The second test-ride was a longer 6.0 km as per odometer and 5.7 km as per my GPS-based DigiHUD Pro smartphone app. The instrument cluster appears to be fairly dependable unlike my Thunderbird 500's. Since it is evening, I could not test the bike in higher speeds due to bumper-ro-bumper traffic in most of the places in our area. I found that in all the parameters like ground clearance, wheel base, suspension movement, liquid-cooled engine, etc, it exceeds Thunderbird 500 positively. The brakes were very sharp. Potholes were swallowed easily, thanks to the longer suspension travel. The switches had backlit illumination for easy identification in the night, which was not available in Thunderbird 500. When the traffic signal turned green, I was the first one cross it! I enjoyed the power, ride and handling of the bike. The fan worked for few minutes even after I switched off the ignition, cooling the coolant. Cool!



I used my toes only to upshift and downshift the gear. There is no provision in the gear-shifter to use heel to shift gears unlike the one available in Thunderbird 500. There are no pillion back-rest, central stand, kick-starter and saree-guard. When I asked the sales executive, how will I lubricate the chain during long rides, he suggested to buy a paddock stand or visit their service centres called first-aid points! Similarly, when the battery becomes weak, kick-starter is the only saviour. The sales executive assured me that saree-guard is indeed available as OE stock fitment. I would have been happier if the bike had crash-guard, 12V/15A power outlet in addition to central stand and kick-starter as OE stock standard fitment since this bike is promoted as a tourer.

During my test-ride, the twin-pod headlamps with LED eyebrow guidelamps managed to turn many heads even in the night with some of them whispering to their friends 'Mojo'! On the whole, Mahindra has done a brilliant job in launching this tourer at affordable price. BTW, I own a 42 k km-old Mahindra XUV 500 too!

Re: Mahindra Mojo Owners Reviews and Experiences

When i attended the launch of the Mojo, the Mahindra guys mentioned that their target is to convert RE guys to Mojo riders. They wanted people to make that switch. And you are an RE owner who took a test ride of the Mojo and came away happy! Mahindra seems to have gotten their strategy right then!!!

Re: Mahindra Mojo Owners Reviews and Experiences

When I asked the sales executive as to who were their competitors, he replied without hesitation that Royal Enfield 350/500 models! He also mentioned that many who had already bought Mojo/booked already/took test-ride were/are the existing owners of Royal Enfield 350/500!

The major difference between Thunderbird 500 and Mojo: the latter has better build quality and is vibration-free with almost all the parameters - barring torque - exceeding the former positively.

Yes. Hats off to their customer service. First time, I had a test-ride of a two-wheeler from home!

Re: Mahindra Mojo Owners Reviews and Experiences

Has anyone ridden bike 500km in one day, if yes give feedback.

Re: Mahindra Mojo Owners Reviews and Experiences

Hi All,

Yesterday, visited Domlur, Bangalore showroom to have a look of red Mojo. One of the sales lady was there to provide information. The on-road price including everything comes to exactly 2L (1,99x). There's some money to get extended warranty i.e 2 (Usual?) + 3 (Extra) Years. Can some one confirm, this figure is for the engine only or whole bike ?

Information on waiting period :
Red : 30-35 days
White/Black : 22 days

I asked her about the ABS version (which is supposed to be coming by April 2016) and for the disappointment, she told it will take 1 year ?? I asked, that was told last year, that it will come next year i.e 2016. Are you sure ? She said, yes it will come next year 2017?

I am not sure, if they don't have information about ABS version or they are simply hiding the fact so that they can sell off current non-ABS versions. If that's the case, then it will be very disappointing, if ABS comes up soon. If someone has a concrete information on ABS launch, please post about it.

Thanks

Re: Mahindra Mojo Owners Reviews and Experiences

I think better to wait for two months

Re: Mahindra Mojo Owners Reviews and Experiences

Congratulations proud owners of Mojo. I just completed reading this thread and i read a lot about ABS. I am not to be mistaken as a biker but i have done my share of biking. I do own a Triumph Street Triple now and has done about 400 kms but never did i feel the ABS kicking in even once. I live in a tier 3 city so i know what bad roads mean. But i myslef have never felt the need for ABS. Sure it is a damn good thing to have but imho not ultimately necessary. So if you want to buy the bike, just buy and ride it. All these waiting may not get you what you want. Why can't we all pretend like we live in the 90's and just ride our bikes regardless the ABS? Ride safe guys.

Re: Mahindra Mojo Owners Reviews and Experiences

Dealers would tell all sorts of lie to sell their product. She wants you to buy the bikes available now.

When I asked around for R3 to the dealers near my place, they all said that it will be coming next week, next month etc, until I came to know that they don't even have the dealership for selling R3. Still they were lying.

Re: Mahindra Mojo Owners Reviews and Experiences

Yes me and 7 - 8 other riders went to Yercaud and back. Around 550 in a day. Felt like a piece of cake because I was not tired at the end of the day.
No effect on the bike whatsoever and we did 115 - 120 all day.

Re: Mahindra Mojo Owners Reviews and Experiences

Thq tanay, I need to relocate back to bangalore to get the bike 😀

Re: Mahindra Mojo Owners Reviews and Experiences

Congratulations to the owners of this seed which was indeed a much await from the company
Anyways I like to wish you all ones again Reading this thread 3 pages down and the bike seems very mouth watering.
