Hi all,
Recently there was a Hornet Rally organised by Honda in Bangalore. The ride was planned to Nandhi hills on 7th Aug, and we were notified by dealerships on the ride only by 5th. Couldn't pass on the information to the forum earlier.

It was a fun ride and more than 60 hornets were present. And it was my first long trip (160 total)

Riding along a huge Hornet formation, roaring ahead @ around 80kmph was an exhilaration

Hornet handled really well on the hill. Riding on turns was like a breeze. while negotiating steep turns, I leaned the bike so much without much worry on loss of stability, and the confidence the bike gave was really awesome

As we were told, there is a app called "Ride Nation", and once we register in the app and join the Honda Hornet Club, we would be notified of future rides.

Hope to meet XBHP'ians in the future rides..

Spectacular view ..

Is the video above the same for slime tyre sealant? I'm new to tubeless tyres so can you guys tell me if this is for bike?

Yes its the same, All you have to do is open bottle and insert it in tyre and then refill air. Ride about 20 mins after filling for even distribution. Slime is international brand and their solution is water based so it doesn't harden. It becomes like gel after contacting air.

Previously while using friends bike i have encountered lot of punctures while commuting. So as a precaution i have added.

I'm looking for fog lights online but all them seems to be unbranded. Or say there is no brand for fog lights. Also most of products online dont have detail description.
Reason im installing them is because standard lamp is very dull. Adding after market will juice out battery on daily basis. So fog lamp will be helpful, if i want i can disconnect and use only when needed for long drives. A on/off switch will be standard with it i guess....

A help for this will be appreciated.

Did my second service. changed left tank panel, console guard, handle bar due to a minor accident. Now i hear a shirling noise when i go in high speed (say 70s) and little fuel leak when idle. What could be wrong ? Im rookie biker and dont know if i have to worry about this .

Re: Honda CB Hornet 160R Owners Experiences

Hey guys. I'm done with my first service. Didn't notice anything different though. My bike jerks twice as usual when shifted from 1st to 2nd. Anyways, today I thought I'd take it for a long ride to college since I don"t get enough time to ride it out and this seemed like a good plan. Unfortunately the ride wasn't as smooth as I expected it to be. I had to touch 60kmph at times en-route. While returning home it was terrible. For about 15 kms, there's usually traffic on the way back from my college. Today it was horrifying. At one point I had to rev up to 78kmph(damn!) to cross a particular signal to avoid getting choked in the traffic and surrounded by huge buses with crappy exhausts. Now have I done wrong by my engine? Will it have had any obscure damaging effect on the engine? I haven't even covered 500 kms...

Don't worry. Once a while it's okay to rev it. But don't do it much...
Enjoy!

Chill bro. Nothing will happen. Indeed, the engine would've felt so happy. Just don't be brutal on the engine, revving it near redline.

My rear wheel doesn't rotate freely.
What could be the issue ?
And how to tell if chain is over tightened ?
