    Did you resolved this issue? Once I had this issue. Neutral switch gone bad. It costs around ₹ 60/- to replace it.

        The problem occurred just after few days of servicing. So I get it repaired from ASC free of cost.

          Nope, I posted this issue only yesterday. Tried out vaRider's 1st suggestion. Didn't work out. And no way am I knowledgeable enough to open the assembly, so that's ruled out too. I can take it to the ASC. The neutral switch does light up correctly occasionally, but most of the time it remains on. This is how my display looks now(bike is rolling in second gear).

            One of the SET/ADJ buttons is missing on the speedometer console. Get the top cover replaced (preferably with a new gasket) at SVC. No matter what you do, water in the air will enter through the missing button (hole) and condense inside. The cover is 700-800/- INR, IIRC. Regarding the neutral light glowing always, water inside the contacts causing a short circuit can be a culprit too.

            So, ask your SVC/local mech to remove the console, direct hot air from a hair dryer to the insides of the console to remove the water. Replace the console cover with a new gasket or old one can be used if undamaged. That should fix things up. Also, check the neutral switch near the sprocket/gear lever area as Anoop said, being a Honda all spares should be easily available. If you don't want to get it done in SVC, buy the parts from Popular Honda (Authorized Honda Spare Distributor in GP Road or Didar Motors) and get it done by a local mech.

                      they quoted me 750 something but i guess total will be 1000 something like that for handle rod it will be 450 around , how many times we can claim insurance ? through 1000 i not interested to claim because i think we an claim only, i am not interested in custom sticker , i am kind of guy just leave the bike as stock version, even i don't write my name .
                      it's orange version so silence is in grey color but pain job would be done i black ? how can i get same grey?

                        Hello guys,

                        It's been almost a year now and my bike has completed 6,500 Kms. (I know it is very less)

                        I've calculated the average by reserve to reserve method.
                        I had filled 6 liters of Indian Oil's XtraPremium petrol when it was showing 6261kms on ODO.
                        At 6505kms, the bike completely died on me and I had to switch it to reserve mode again.

                        So it means my bike is giving the average of 40kml
                        6505 - 6261 = 244 kms
                        244 kms / 6 ltr = 40.67 kmpl

                        Riding Conditions :
                        I ride in city traffic only.
                        I ride under 60kmph most of the times.


                        Anyway, now I've filled up 2 liter of Shell's V Power petrol.
                        I've noticed that, the bike started to feel peppier instantly.
                        Let's see what average I will get with this petrol now.






                        Update :
                        Average with reserve to reserve method (after servicing)
                        245kms in 6.3 ltr petrol
                        So, now I'm getting the average of 39kmpl
                        Be happy and a reason will come along !

                          39kmpl looks bad.
                          I completed my first ride.
                          Filled around 6.5 ltr(approx) in tank.
                          Went to reserv on 321km. Thank is about 1.7 ltr. So its giving me about 60Kmpl.
                          Im still confused.

                            Wrong method.

                            Measure full tank to full tank. No way in hell you are getting 60

                              Yehh i think so. Actually when i purchased bike it was new and sealed completaly (battery seal and packeging). Dealer put some half a ltr petrol inside and i poured 6 ltrs after that.
                              I will update this post after measuring again.
