Hi Friends,

I have some queries on my CB Hornet 160R (Std). I've completed 1000KM within 10 days, and first service done at Autofin, Hyderabad. The bike was very smooth before first service. In that first service, they changed engine oil and refilled with 900ml Honda oil, but they charged for 1000ml. Apart from that, the showroom guys told me that is enough to run it upto 2nd service.

1. How much engine oil to fill in the term between 1st - 2nd service?. If any well known person please suggest me.
2. I've notified that the engine making some abnormal noise (I'm thinking it was the noise of chain). I cannot guess it correctly as i am always riding with helmet.
3. The gear shifting is still hard and when I am in traffic, many times to goes to neutral when gear shifting to UP.
4. The rear Tyre mud guard near the shock was too small and that area is fill with full of mud. Is there any chance to add additional mud guard like FZ V2 ?
5. Before first service I've rode it on high way and city, It gave me 57 kmpl average. Now it is only upto 48 Kmpl (mostly in city, max speed 50kmph). Why that much difference. I am thinking that insufficient engine oil may cause?

Please answer my queries. Now I'm running on 1400Km, The bike was purchased on Aug 5th 2016 .
Thanks in advance.

Anyone please answer my queries.

Which light is better for headlight. Please provide any link.

Don't go for K&N. You'll need to rejet otherwise the AFR will become lean. Also they let in more dust due to their filtering not being as good as stock. Only effect will be the sound which gives the placebo that you're getting more performance.

10k intervals. But also check factors such as dusty conditions, etc

Thanks, will go through manual soon and it stops only while idling and not during riding.

Increase the idle rpm by rotating the adjusting bolt slightly till the engine does not stop.

Did you mean to keep varying speed/RPM till 3000 km.

Yes sir, keep varying thee rpms. And now that you've crossed a 1000 km, slowly cross the rev border very very smoothly, rweach a new speed you have not done before, and let go. Do it again. Just listen to the engine very carefully for any changes. If nothing is changing, in a 100km ride, you'll have all the rev ranges tested and then you can keep playing around, varying all the rpms you want.

I also feel that if you press the rear brake with high pressure it skids even at 5-10 kmph speed, but applying same gradually or knowingly does not happens.

Since you were a CBR 150 owner, i would like to know from you how you see the performance difference between CBR 150R and hornet 160R, though i know that they belong to different class. I have posted a comparison here http://www.xbhp.com/talkies/motorcyc...ml#post1219141, i felt honret is more value for money than CBR.

Is your suspension still feels stiff after around 4000 kms? You may need to do some tuning, my suspension felt softer after first service as i complained about it.

Hi everyone,
I am booking a new hornet std next week(not sure on which variant still),have a few question:
1-are the front brakes of the cbs and std version of the bike same ?
2-how is the suspension?my daily route has a bad road.
3-how is electric start in morning?is it okay to use push start every morning and kick once or twice a week?(on weekends)
4-is it really necessary to lube the chain on regular intervals?
