    Yeah I think the surface could be the reasons.. Maybe some one here can clarify properly

      Check side rims as well. There could be some minor rupture and lastly check wheel alignment. It might have moved a little.
      I don't lose that much air in a week. Roughly 1-2 PSI per week if bike didn't run much.

        Dirt accumulation at side of tyre where it touches the rim.
        Ask a local mechanic to clean it. They usually dismental tyre and clean with metal file. I got this issue with my Hunk.
        Possibility, dust might have find the gap when pressure is low and those bumpy roads. Better to have little high pressure and shock observer on soft setting.

          Hello guys,

          I have changed my bike's headlight to RTD m02e
          Now whenever I turn on the headlight on, it produces a noise like a loud spinning fan.
          Is it normal or is there any problem with the wiring ?
          Be happy and a reason will come along !

            Yeah there must be fan to cool the LED. That's why it makes noise. Check if any wire is touching LED.

              Hello Guys,

              Its been 40 days since I am riding my brand new hornet.
              I have already installed a more powerful horn as the stock horn sounds like scooty's horn.
              One more thing is bothering me is Neutral. As I am not able to find it on signals I am badly missing the Engine Kill switch.
              Can anyone tell if its safe to install an Engine Kill switch or does it void any warranty of bike??

                  Did anyone feel handling heavy. Since a week and a half I am facing difficulty in handling my bike not sure what the issue is. Taking the corners became a lot difficult now a days, Could anyone suggest the possible reason for this.

                    Just check if any of the bolts have gotten tight or rusted. It also happens when tyre pressure is very low.

                      Please check the valve if there is a leak. Valves in tubelss tires may malfunction some time. and it is good to replace. Also, check for the rim edges to see if there is any nicks that result in air leakage.

                      Ideally, checking air once two weeks should be fine. Even once a month should do. Also, do not over inflate tires stick to a point above what company recommends. I keep 26F/30R so that even the air-filling machine gauge is not accurate, at least it is not under inflated. I could see most of these airfilling guys at petrol bunk set the same value for all two wheelers in the queue. That is dangerous. Also, please generous enough to hand him over at least INR5 for filling the air :-)

                      Check for the chain slack. Over tightened chain would make you feel that you don't have control what you are supposed to have on your bike.

                        Thanks Bro, it's sorted now. The chain got set and to my surprise it was back to normal now.

                          Hey guys,
                          Is there any hornet riding group in Mumbai/Pune? I would love to go for long ride and not the short ones. 😀

                            Today, I rode my Hero Honda Passion bike after almost a year.
                            What amazed me is, I could still drive it between 30-40kmph and that too on a 3rd or 4th gear without any issue.
                            Why can't I do the same with my Hornet ?

                                No such issues for me. I generally upshift at every 10kmph when riding in peace at 2-3k RPM. For city riding keep it at 4-6k RPM.
                                Does your engine make any noise when you do so? It's possible that carburettor settings must be lean. So it can't run on higher gear at low speed.
