    As always the svc was overcrowded.

    Gearshifts are a lot better now but i am getting a jerk whenever I leave the throttle. It is highest for 1st and 2nd gear and lowest for the 5th gear but still very noticeable and annoying in traffic.
    Additive oil Rs 150 ? for what ?.... Chain cleaning & lubing also free for your 2nd service... Honda dealer simply exploited you

      I have a similar problem. However, a small difference is that, in my case the rear brake is very good, just that the lever had to be pressed very hard. To explain it simple, assume that there are drum brakes the brakes are loose, what happens is that the lever had to be pressed a lot down for the brakes to apply. So is the case with me. When i took it to the Honda servicing center, they said that they will have to clean the disc and they did that as well but with no use. I also get a very light screeching sound when i press the brake. Again when i complained, they said that they will have to remove the brake assembly and check. Any one aware of this please guide me what might be the problem.

      Further, is anyone aware what is a good service center for Honda bikes in Bangalore(preferably near to Ramamurthy Nagar) else ready to go long distance as well, if i get a very good service. I will take my bike there for the second service. I am somehow not satisfied with the servicing nor the response of CITY HONDA people.
      Still my back break is not having the disc bite, i will ride for another 200 km and will leave for the 1st service at around 600 km and ask them to resolve this issue with out which im not going to take the bike after the service. Is there any other way if they do not oblige.pls tell.

        No sir chain cleaning and lubing is not free. Almost all of us here have paid for that. 75 was the lowest I found here in this thread.
        I was offered that additive oil even when I went for first service by the service advisor but I declined it. After having a talk with the mechanic this time I thought of giving it a try.

        I suggest everyone tu politely decline any offers of additive oil, engine flush or teflon coating. They all are svc means to earn money.

          I have also done chain tightening for free of cost...I think you should check the same with your service center.
          Also he sprayed some lube without asking for it..

                        Has anybody finished their 3rd service. If yes, how much is the bill? How is the condition of the bike after service?
                        Safety first. Happy riding!!

                          I don't think that is possible given that the bike started selling only in December.

                            I bought on 21 Dec. My first service @ 1050kms, 2nd service @ 4000kms
                            My odo is now on 8800+. Present condition of my bike is not well. Main problem is decline in performance. So I am planning for 3rd service this week or should I wait for some more kms.

                              One mechanic suggested me to change the stock clutch levers to adjustable short levers. He said, according to this engine gear system,those are the correct levers. I am confused!! Anybody else got this suggestion? Is it worth spending on levers.

                                Does he want to sell you levers as well?
                                Short (adjustable) levers are comfortable (if you don't have huge hands) but they're independent of a motorcycle's gearing.
                                Got a $5 head? Get a $5 helmet.
                                Because everyone who passes, isn't a martyr!
