    • Re: Honda CB Hornet 160R Owners Experiences

      Hey guys, I was just curious has anybody converted their Hornet to full DC electrics? I want to install a LED bulb in headlight but it's not possible without the DC conversion.

        Only the piston is 300. The cylinder cost is around 2.5k as given in the bill. I'm not sure about the prices.

            You will loose your warranty in that case . However if you would like to do it get in touch with som1 who does bike wiring n stuff and they will have a workaround for sure.

                Airfilter and sparkplug after 3000kms.
                I was getting poor mileage that's why I checked. Airfilter looks bad. Will replace and check mileage again.

                  Yep I m from Hyderabad, I am not sure about any group but if you know more ppl from hyd sply with Hornets we can create a whatsapp grop and meet up some day. It will give us opportunity to learn about the bike better. Also I want to do Moto vloging so it would be great to get some company.

                        Mechanics use a drop of oil on the threads before screwing it in.

                          Thanks I'll wait for your update.. see if u hear engine noise in the first 3 gears exactly at 4k rpm to 4.5k rpm . After say 10km. Try this in afternoon or morning time at night weather is cool now days .

                                Air filter looks OK but spark plugs are white. The bike is running lean. Tune the carb properly.
