Thanks for the tips. Cheers!

Re: Mahindra Mojo Owners Reviews and Experiences


Hi Harris bro, I understand your concern. 1 suggestion what I would give is, just go ahead with the Mojo and please do not fix your experience by riding the test drive bike. We all know how the test drive bike would be. It would be driven by numerous people and would be beaten to hell during the test ride. Just imagine, even the test ride bike engine is in that condition, how good it will be if we maintain it wen we have one, getting my point right?

If you are considering domi i would surely suggest you to take mojo over domi. Because of the touring conditions and the ride comfort it offers. I agree bike lacks ABS, but still it depends up on you.

There are many owners here who owns a BS3 bikes and its being well maintained. So dont just go ahead with the bad expression you got on the first sight with the test ride bike.

Make sure you take a wise decision on this.

Re: Mahindra Mojo Owners Reviews and Experiences

Thanks bro. I do believe Mojo is far better than Domi, its just that i want to feel it before booking it. I posted the same in FB. A gentleman there pointed me towards Sharath and he is willing to help me with the test ride [emoji4].

Re: Mahindra Mojo Owners Reviews and Experiences

Thanks for taking the time out, mate! Coming from a Mojo owner, it will help me in more ways than one.

In the two years so far, how much have you ridden it and does it involve regular, short distance commuting or just the weekend, long rides?
Earlier, on some page (probably 124/125), Kris raised a point about Mojo running with high (5500+) RPMs for when attaining cruising speeds.
I am a relaxed (lazy) rider and my speed on a long ride will hover around 100 kmph. With such a speed, would you know what RPMs the bike runs on?
(According to the specifications, the peak torque happens at 5500 RPMs, am not sure if that's related in any way, though.)

I take it from your experience so far, that I will need additional lights to support head lamps; however, had hoped the battery performance would be better (given other premium components it has).
Apart from that, the crash guard, rear tyre-hugger and a pannier mount also interest me. Please let me know if you've opted for any of these and if so, were they from Mahindra or otherwise?

Man, you must be one strong son of a gun, riding the Mojo!
There is a question I have, regarding when you carry a pillion:
With the tiny rear seat, say, you're riding with your wife on a 50-kilometre journey. After you've reached the destination, does your wife complain about the seat room?
I cannot help but wonder how a pillion (especially one with less inclination to riding) will feel after a medium to long ride.

I would also like to know your experience so far and any "things to consider" before going for it.

Regards,
KM

Re: Mahindra Mojo Owners Reviews and Experiences

LOL.. not that strong. I've done 50-60 kms once with my wife. She didn't complain. On the BS4 black, white and matte red colours have a slightly better seat for the pillion - wider and slightly longer.

Other stuff that I come across
-ve
1. Brakes could have been better in the sense that you have to use engine braking.
2. Be wary how much you can lean, although that is not a -ve point per say.
3. Large turning radius, so you have to sort of make your decisions a little earlier in traffic.
4. BS4 black, white and matte red have a wider riding seat, so some bums and groins might get a little congested, although that can be adjusted by a third party seatmaker.
5. Will heat up a bit within 30mins in heavy traffic, although that is normal with that torque.
6. They could have gone for a slip assist clutch if you ask me. Hands will get a little strained in heavy traffic.
7. Headlights are not too bright. Have to use LEDs in dark conditions.

+ve
1. Smooth engine even at 120km+ or maybe even more.
2. comfortable riding posture. Can drop and relax your shoulders while riding.
3. Can stand and ride for sometime on bad roads without issues.
4. Great shock absorbers
5. Overall riding experience is fantastic. Just a great all round package primarily because of its high torque and smooth engine. Great torque. Very helpful to overtake on Indian roads.
6. Solid in crosswinds

Re: Mahindra Mojo Owners Reviews and Experiences

Hi.
I'm looking for the service manual of the Mojo. Any idea where I can find a soft copy of the same?

Re: Mahindra Mojo Owners Reviews and Experiences

Hi,

I don't know if the reply is in time; but I ride with my wife often especially when I had the RE. We did our first Mojo run a couple of weeks back to Kolar and back and she was quite comfortable on the pillion seat with Maiyya's for breakfast being our only stop. That is a 140 km round trip from my place and is my usual test run for the pillion, not too far to be uncomfortable but far enough to gauge the difficulties one might face on longer rides.

I guess the experiences on RE might have helped and it also helps that the Mojo gets to places quicker and the less time you spend on the saddle, the less sore you are. Either way, I was surprised that she did not as for a break in between, especially as on the RE she would often want one; Kolar was her first long drive on the RE as well and IIRC we had 3-4 stops. I have received the fego float seats and plan to have a backrest as well, so it should be a plush ride for the pillion. Hope that helps.

Re: Mahindra Mojo Owners Reviews and Experiences

I've been keeping an eye on the Mojo thread for a long time now and I would say this has to be the most bulletproof bike on this forum thus far. Tempted to pick one up, been waiting for over 2 years now for an affordable parallel twin tourer to no avail (the Kawasaki Versys X-300 pricing killed that dream recently).

Since ABS is mandatory from April 2018 onward, do you think they will immediately release an ABS variant or stretch it till the 2019 deadline for existing bikes?

Re: Mahindra Mojo Owners Reviews and Experiences

Dear All,

I need to replace my Mojo's brakes. I have shifted to Bangalore from Delhi. Thanks to the unmarked speed breakers here, that the real picture of the brakes is revealed and to be very honest, it is scaring me. On a couple instances, I had close calls. I am doing a lot of engine braking to slow down the bike and rear tire locks up easily. Sudden braking is scary. Please suggest some solution.

Re: Mahindra Mojo Owners Reviews and Experiences

Yeah, i too experience the same here. I think this is because of the unequal weight distrivution in the rear tyres. When riding with a pillion, the locking of rear slows down. But without a pillion this is a real problem.

Re: Mahindra Mojo Owners Reviews and Experiences

My friend this is the only real reason, I have not purchased the mojo. Bike have serious weight balance issue in rear tyre. Before my booking, I did a thorough testing on this and understood this charector. I believe TVS Apache had similar conflicts and they solved by adding abs. Here in mojo it's the bike charector, so you need to adapt and drive. The real solution will be stick to the front 70% and rear 30% rule. Train yourself to reduce the power while applying rear brake. The show room test drive bikes I have seen like, having sharp bite in front brake and loosen bite on rear, not sure they do this way to avoid this problem.

Re: Mahindra Mojo Owners Reviews and Experiences

Hi...i follow the same process..now engine braking also in city which is really uncomfortable looking at the amount of space you ride in..plus my brakes have become spongy....normally I don't ride fast...but those unmarked speed breakers...and small crossings....squids all around..even 50 kmph looks dangerous to me...thanks for your suggestion bro!!

Will changing brake pads help in anyway?

Re: Mahindra Mojo Owners Reviews and Experiences

I dnt think so. Maybe a better braking technique may help u.

Re: Mahindra Mojo Owners Reviews and Experiences

Could someone tell me the RPM at different speeds?

At 50 KMPH in 5th Gear (Assuming no 6th Gear)
At 60, At 70, 80 and 100.

Planning to refer this bike for a friend, so need this information for suggesting better and to look for any mods, if needed for our requirements.
Thanks in advance.

Re: Mahindra Mojo Owners Reviews and Experiences

Hi, noted the RPM on my way to office and here are my readings(5th gear only)

50- 3000 rpm
60- 4000 rpm
70- 4500 rpm
80- 5000 rpm
100- around 6300-6400 rpm

Correcting last reading...You cannot stare at console for long while riding at 100 KMPH in city .
