    Did you check idle before riding
    It was fine when I start cold engine from ASC and didn't find much difference in idle rpm but when I was in the traffic the bike moved without giving acceleration and just by releasing the clutch. Now it is ok. I have adjusted myself thanks buddie

      Hi congrats... Sriking green is an good option.. from which dealership you bought from?

      Even I faced the suspension issue, later it got rectified in first service (Not an issue to worry if there is not so much sound coming from that)
      Happy Riding, Dont exceed 4000 RPM untill first Service.
      Hi

      Thanks
      Bought from jsp honda kukatpally.

      Visited service now and sales person was kind enough to find a technician. They did a test drive and asked me to check the air pressure and comeback tomorrow if its the same.

      To my surprise airpressure was 45ps rear and 35 front(it was from honda service) got the air pressure corrected. Will check it tomorrow.

      Thanks 😊

        Does it mean dat m not getting good mileage ??
        Digital fuel gauges aren't accurate. One line presents 1.75l

        Expect 40-55 mileage based on riding

          Has anybody tried to change the turn indicators? Like the LED ones provided with KTM or Pulsar RS 200?

            Fuel bars shows variations some times,dont worry about it.Also,dont worry about mileage till 1000~1500 kms,but it will surely give you more than 45+.Ride properly within 4.5k rpm for 1000 kms and 6k for 1500km.
            I am getting milage between 47-53
            Last time I have got 48.36kmpl
            Current odo reading 3600+

                Fallow manual 25-25 solo, 25-29 pillion for smooth ride. For 28 and 32-33 ride is not smooth

                  Re: Honda CB Hornet 160R Owners Experiences

                  Last night around 11 PM i fall down due to skidding by pebbles. I was going slowly, so no damage to bike and myself. people nearby helped me. I thanked them and when i tried to start bike again i found the gear lever was bent little and unable to shift. luckily the lever was stuck in 4th gear. so started with choke and reached home safely.
                  Today morning i visited ASC(perungalathur) near my home. A mechanic relieved the lever and also did chain adjustment. they didnt charged me anything. so i was all smiles and started bike to test performance. I saw no issues in gear shift and i red lined at 105 kmph with still more juice. Honda is Honda.

                        So far engine is getting smother.

                        Only issue is when I use only rear break, it seems ineffective but with front+rear. Great breaking. Kind of used to it.
                        I am not sure if I ask service center to make it really effective. If rear tyre get locked while breaking, bike will surely skid.

                        I asked about synthetic oil use. ASC mechanic told, after all free service he can fill any choice of engine oil in front of me.
                        I couldn't feel my rear brakes either; but it changed after the first service and now I use them more often than the front ones.

                          Can anyone tell me where is rear suspension setting given in manual.
                          In English manual, I don't see any suspension setting on pg. no. 60.

                            Always use the front brakes more. Rear brakes are only meant to add stability while braking on most bikes.

                              Same the case with my CBS model,it has lost its previous charm. I have to apply breaks hard,to slow it down.Previous it is working great,i have shown this to asc they say all is fine with the break,though front break is quite effective.
