    That's highly incompetent... My asc doesn't even have o ring and 5 and 15amp fuse...

      Guys my asc refuses to fill the Honda throttle engine oil... They say it's against the company policy... They only fill mineral oil...!!!
      Also what's the use of engine oil additives... Is it necessary ?

        Mail Honda customer care with your problem. Explain how your trust in Honda is diminished due to the SVC incompetency. Do mention the name of the dealer involved.

          So chain n sprocket changing will be covered under warranty or it has to be paid in SVC? How much are they quoting?

            Chain and sprockets are wear and tear items, not covered under warranty. I'm assuming the cost to be below ₹1.5k, please check it at another SVC.

                    I have already got it replaced at 12 k KM's which is not at all expected from a trusted brand like honda.
                    And now at 22K KM's the new chain is already 85% loosened and is making strange noise.
                    I clean and lube the chain at regular Intervals but still I am not able to get, why this sprocket quality is so bad.
                    This time I am planning to escalate to Honda with the replaced part bill and substandard spare that they are using in hornet.

                      It costed me 1,150 + 200 for some rubber block component used Inside the sprocket section.

                        Was your front brake issue solved? If so, what was done?

                        Next time, get the sprockets (driven and drive) from Honda, and a good brand (like Rolon) O-ring chain (Get a chain with same number of links/pitch as Hornet). That should serve you well for at least 30k kms provided you lube it periodically, and clean it before lubing when necessary.

                        At 22K, you don't have much warranty left, do you? So don't go for the stock kit again.

                          Need Help to sort Out Some Confusions.

                          After Researching A lot On 150-160cc Bike i Finally Decided to Buy Honda Hornet Special Edition. But Still, i Have Some Confusions which i want to Sort Out. Please Help Me to Decide.

                          1). Which Variant did i go For Single Disk or Double Disk With CBS?
                          Some People are saying Double Disk is Causing Problem Due to CBS Technology, Bike is Getting Unstable while Braking On Top Speed. Is it True?

                          2). Is suspension Stiff, It Is PainFull On OFF Road ?
                          I Have to Ride this Bike in City as well as Village, So in Village Roads are not that Great. Will it Cause Much and Give me Back Pain?

                          3). Which Color Should I get?
                          i am Totally Confused Due to Addition Of 2 New Color in Special Edition (Blue with White & Red) But Still, i Want to Go With Orange/Black. i have not seen Blue and Color yet, Please Let me know your Opinion, Will they are More Good Looking than Orange.

                          4). What is the Cost Of Accessories?
                          Here in Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh. 3 Different Showroom Offring 3 Different Price of Accessories Costing Rs. 2600, 1800 & 1600. What is the Real Cost of Accessories and How Should i know Which i Original And Which is Duplicate

                          My English is Not So Good Please Ignore it.

                            1. CBS is better but you need to careful while hard breaking. Applying hard rear break sometime, it jam the wheel causing skid.

                            2. Suspension is stiff on factory setting. After few days, ask them to adjust on soft. Go to service center where CBR 250 servicing done.they know how to do it. Get info from Youtube.its same as CBR 250.

                            3. IMO, Go with either of matt finish dual tone .

                            4.As, far I know , leg guard and saree guard are default. No need to pay extra.


                            Extra note: In first few month. In case of any issue visit service center. They should resolve the issue without any fee.

                                I have green... It looks good and not too​ loud like orange... My mom likes it... Orange one is like KTM ... Loud and brash... If you got family members as pillion choose a subtle one...
                                Also accessories are not free.. leg guard cost and 700-800... Get hand grips from outside.. Also same goes for seat cover... I got it done from outside... The seat cover from Honda looks good in the beginning but with time it loses its fitting...
