Try using gloves, it will reduce vibrations if any.Originally posted by A_Krazy_Katam View Post
I never had this numb feeling. Are you holding the handle with ease? Try to keep your hands in relaxed position with sight bent at elbow.Ride hard, Ride safe! :DComment

Re: Honda CB Hornet 160R Owners Experiences
I experienced this in initial phase of owning the bike, after riding 20-25 km used to feel numbness . previously I had never ridden more than 4-5 km continuously that too occasionally. But now I'm totally comfortable, did 400+ km ride in single day. Give some time ....your body should get used to it.Originally posted by A_Krazy_Katam View PostComment

Re: Honda CB Hornet 160R Owners Experiences
Must be feeling at certain RPM 4k-5K bracket. Wait for 3rd service.Originally posted by A_Krazy_Katam View Post
If you have completed break-in period i.e. 1000Km. Occasionally give high raves inlower gear. Like upto 6k in 2nd 3rd grear. Yes, it will scream but smooth out.
Yes, there are complains about reserve knob if it is working or not. But once I have felt out of fuel and have to turn the knob.Originally posted by HariVox View Post
Also just looking from tank you can't predict how much fuel left. When last bar will start blinking, try to go for full tank petrol, max you can fill is 10 Ltr (Giving some space for air).
Mileage: Your bike is new, did you properly break-in the the engine. Also wait for 2nd service to get real mileage.

Re: Honda CB Hornet 160R Owners Experiences
There is roughness in this bracket 4-5K rpm. This will get smooth. As I said, rev hight occasionally. It help to clear out engine.------------------

Re: Honda CB Hornet 160R Owners Experiences
Hornet will also give similar mileage if engine is tuned properly and ridden in a sensible manner. My Hornet gave me 53 kmpl+ mileage in mixed traffic conditions(city(about 70%) and highway). I did not have to tune though, all are factory settings. Your fuel screw position may need resetting. Also check the tyre pressure. If the air filter is very dirty it should be replaced.Originally posted by HariVox View PostComment

Re: Honda CB Hornet 160R Owners Experiences
I didn't changed settings. Just done first service. They changed settings. Now its some what better.. But not exceeding 45 km/hr. Before 1st service it was 35-40.Originally posted by Anupam Das View Post

It's okay for me. But my friend is getting 55 km/l. That's made me think something is wrong in my bike.Comment

Re: Honda CB Hornet 160R Owners Experiences
How did you arrive at this figure? Try full-to-full for best precision. I'm yet to have the first servicing done, but I'm getting a mileage of 46.Originally posted by HariVox View Post
Another point for your consideration is, the gears are shorter on Hornet than previous generations of Unicorns. Not sure if its identical to U160.
However, getting acclimatized is the best way forward. You can also change the engine oil yourself and feel the difference in multitude of aspects.
This is an ergonomics issue. Ergonomics aren't always driven by the vehicle but yourself too. Also, "numbness" means lack of blood supply, which means some vein is being pressed for too long. You can try changing the angle of your palm onto the handle, wearing gloves, try out some handle grips etc. I would also talk to a doctor so as to know which vein must be getting pressed, leading to this issue.Originally posted by A_Krazy_Katam View PostComment

Hornet and unicorn 160 have similar gearing, and are geared very tall compared to the previous unicorn.Originally posted by iamkrazee View PostComment

Re: Honda CB Hornet 160R Owners Experiences
Guys..
Just going through the thread..
Saw the most of you guys are riding at 4-5K rpm, not even doing 6k occasionally.
Hornet has a different state of tune compared to Uni160.
Hornet produces power and torque higher up in the rev range.
So initial is low compared to Uni160 and gixxer.
To extract the Hornets potential, one needs to rev it 1k-1.5k Rpm more compared to gixxer and uni160.
So occasional 8-9k Rpm would be nice in setting the engine, using full power.
Hornet pulls at this range too where as Uni160 and gixxer tapers off.
Cheers.Comment

After 3rd gear, shift up over 5.5K. You will feel the punch you are looking for

Yes, there is a noticeable increase in pickup at around 6k rpm in 3rd gear.Originally posted by anoopkumar0 View PostYup,
