    There are so many shops, You will get it.

    Mileage I am getting around 53-55 I just completed 400 Kms today.. Have to check after 1000 Kms & First Service..

    I have a question which service center will be good , Tansi Honda in Marathahali or Haiku Honda in Domulur ... I brought the bike @Haiku....
    Fantastic mileage. Is that in city?
    Comparably Tansi would be better when it comes to service.

            If you mean the mud cover, then it's better not to. As we've air cooled engine.

              Hi guys
              Am from Chennai. Since most of the Honda showrooms don't have seat cover. Please let me know if there is any good place for seat cover for my hornet

                Hi,
                Recently I met with a minor accident, during which I have observed some engine oil leak on the road. After the accident I have given for service, at that time the svc center has only mineral oil, so I asked them not to change the oil. Now I'm returning back to Bangalore from my village and my engine is getting heated up too much. Is it because of lesser quantity of engine oil?

                Anyways I want to change my engine oil as my next free service is at october. Shall I change with the shell oil or prefer Honda throttle only?

                  Have you checked the oil level? If it's low then immediately top it up.
                  I suggest you to use this oil till it loses life and then change the oil. Why waste good oil.

                    Thanks bro for your suggestion.
                    I have ran almost 2000kms on the same oil and it turned medium brown colour. I didn't understood dipsticks calibration to identify if oil is sufficient or not

                        Morning before you ride, just start the bike and warm up the bike for 2 minutes. Then open the dipstick and wipe clean. Then put the dipstick in the sump (don't screw it in) and take it out. The oil level should be between the 2 markings.

                            Apart from checking oil level and color.
                            After how many kilometres should oil be changed? (Mainly highway riding 60-95 kmph)

                              You can also try vijaya Honda near navalur. They have a really stylish one.

                                If you feel there's engine roughness, clunky gearshifts and in general more noise and heat, change the oil. If it's a mineral oil just to be safe you can drain it at around 2-2.5k km.
