Re: Honda CB Hornet 160R Owners Experiences

guys my bike engine rattles and clanks at rpms below 3-4k. and becomes smoother above the 4k mark. what problem is causing this? engine has been noisey since day 1. carb setting is also optimal. Just did 2nd service on saturday. I am really fed up with all the sounds and roughness. bike has done 1890kms.

Re: Honda CB Hornet 160R Owners Experiences

Hello guys,
I have bought Hornet CBS limited edition on 5th of October,16.After making it to 650 km I got it serviced today.
There were couple of problems with the engine too.
These are:
1.The gears were locking up and gets free after releasing some clutch.
2.Also after taking throttle off revs goes down very slow to normal 1000rpm which was not there when I bought it and so also reduce the brake feedback.

1st problem is solved but 2nd problem still persists.
During my 650 km run, I made it once go to 103 kph and average speed was 60 kph and average rpm were 4000-5000.
Have I made damage to the engine ??
This is worrying me a lot....
Please help me in relieving my query.. and also please suggest me engine precautions to care up !!!!

Could you please tell me what the svc guys did to do away with first problem?

Mine too gets stuck on quick downshifts, which when happens, i have to release the clutch and downshift again. Its a real pain when we have to take a speed breaker.

What was the problem? How did they rectify it.?

And regarding running in, its a controversial topic and one cannot say if you have done something harmful to the engine now. Experts should help you with it.

Re: Honda CB Hornet 160R Owners Experiences

Do you shift multiple gears at once (without releasing the clutch)?

1. I have faced this problem sometimes in first couple of month but not it's completely rectified.
2. This is issue must be resolved. Could be faulty cable.

I too faced the same problem in the beginning
Try holding clutch on the left extreme edge and change the gears, this should work
At least worked for me

This is the same case with my bike
The mechanic in the SVC changed the needle jet in the carb to cb unicorn's needle jet
Only a slight difference could be observed
But something is better than nothing
