    Re: Honda CB Hornet 160R Owners Experiences

    Really pathetic headlight. Just completed 280 km ride from Mumbai to Mahabaleshwar. Lights are really useless. Couldn't see anything.

      Re: Honda CB Hornet 160R Owners Experiences

      My bike was in open rain for 7 days without any cover. When I tried to start it, I was unable to hit the kick n self too. Then I called local mechanic. There was water in carburator as well as Engine too. Around 2 litres of water percolated in engine and engine oil became milky white.

      Did this happen with anyone else. Guys take care. Do anyone know the reason?

        Always keep your vehicle covered during rains. I do it for hornet.
        Fortunately till now, bike comes to life in single click everytime I start it after 1/2 weeks! Never had to kick 3-4 times like others do. [emoji2] [emoji41] that's the happiest thing for me!

            Change it to after market Philips/Osram headlight. Only costs around 150/- much better light.

                Was with pillion. Road from Mumbai to Pune is fine but after Pune it's bad. Average speed was 55 kmph due to rain.

                    Yes will take care onwards. But I have a question is from where that much water may have entered in engine and carburator. Or there is any problem with any particular part of my bike.

                      Oil filler cap/dipstick might have been loose.

                          Any idea why Honda went with this design?

                          Actually for AHO requirement AC supply works well and it will not over load battery.

                            Water entering carburettor is a big concern. Please have the bike checked thoroughly for any holes in Petrol tank. Please have it replaced under warrants
