    Please share photos.
    Currently I've mounted it on leg guard but then illumination isn't that great at it spreads a lot.
    I have installed on Handle bar with clamp.
    Attached is the pic. It gives best view.

      Re: Honda CB Hornet 160R Owners Experiences

      Has anyone opened up the clutch side assembly to clean oil strainer screen and centrifugal oil filter....???
      At what interval does one need to do so as manual mentions it at every 6000 kms...!!!

        Should not be much different than opening the clutch cover of Unicorn 150. Buy one clutch cover gasket and centrifugal/rotor filter gasket (this is shared between various Hondas/Hero Hondas, I think) if you plan to do it. Clutch cover gasket is some rubberized (?) type like the one used in Dream Yuga - should not tear easily like paper.

        1. Strainer to be cleaned at first service (~1000 kms or less)
        2. Both Strainer and rotor/centrifugal filter to be cleaned every 12,000 kms post 1st service.

        How many kms on odo?

            Hey guys just cleaned my oil strainer screen....
            Also replaced the gasket....
            First and foremost i drained the oil before any operation...

            The clutch side gasket cost about ₹116..Click image for larger version Name: IMG_20180303_202713.jpg Views: 1 Size: 51.4 KB ID: 1957555

            Applied the new gasket with the help of anabond gasket sealant with thin layer on both surfaces of cover as well as case... The gasket seemed a good quality one ... Maybe cardboard or tin... Don't know but definitely not thin paper type gasket...
            Reattached the cover and poured new oil...

            The oil is yamalube 10w40 costing ₹405...


            The old Honda FS oil after draining.... turned dark and mucky after 3k kms...

              Thanks for sharing the post. This really helpful for the DYI enthusiasts. Could you please share some tips, and some more details like spanner size etc.

              My opinion is that we should install this on the crash guard as it is more irritating to opposite person. Or it should be tilted down to avoid blinding oncoming traffic.

                Thank you for sharing, when one Xbhp'ian does it, builds confidence for others.

                Nice to see Honda investing more money into quality gaskets. A paper one is cheap but a slight headache to scrape and remove. Next time you have to replace it as you have applied Anabond - otherwise can be re-used if no tear.

                Now that you have done this at ~9000 kms; clean the strainer and rotor/centrifugal filter next time - Atleast wait another 12-15k kms before next cleaning.

                Anabond sealant is not required but if one is going to apply, minimum possible to be used so that it doesn't block the oil feed holes (one just above clutch is very tiny).

                It is VFM oil, go ahead and use it for a minimum 3k.

                  Ya i never use it in City and Always tilt my right led downwards,

                  But for highway rides and dark interior location its a must.

                  It gives confidence while driving at high speed.. At stock light max speed is 40/50 kmph.

                  It is very important for Someone who is travelling at night and touring. Highly recommended.

                    I have done almost 26000 KMs now. In my rear tyre, there are 3 punctures. Even though am filling it up, there is a loss of almost 4 psi everyday. Right now am filling air on 3 days once basis.

                    Planning to change the tyres, may be by this month end.

                    Any sugesstions? I read about MRF masseter some replies back.. Anyone actually using it with Hornet? Any reviews or any other suggesstions are welcomed.

                    And also how much is the tyre if you have bought it.

                    Cheers!!!

What is the possible reason ? Ad also full throttle open never reaches to top speed, but when i go lenearly with speed it feels easy to go on top speed.
                      I am thinking to go 2nd service, now 2.7k on odo.
                      it may be due to problem in the spark plug

                        I too had this problem but in my case actually cleaning cloth stored below seat cover went into airfilter tube a bit and obstracting the airflow caused this problem but when i removed it everything is ok .

                          Did any one tried to change the sticker for Green bike?
                          If yes please let me know how is the look.
                          My bike fell down and the sticker on the fuel tank got damaged. Will honda provide the new stickers for the bike?

                            No...! separate sticker is not sold by honda. You have to change the whole RH or LH part.
                            Same happened to me also i checked with ASC.

                              You can get separate stickers from local market..will cost around 600 for entire set.

                                This is really bad... you said it happened with u also, so what did you do.
                                Did you change any thing or continued with the scratches?

                                How is the quality and look? Is it comparable with the original shining and look?
                                And where did you get it?

                                Hi,

                                I am seeing some problem with gear shift in my bike. Sometimes when I shift from 4th to 5th gear, I observe internal gear is not actually shifting. After sometime, some kind of jerk happens in gear box then bike gets actual 5th gear acceleration. Do anyone know why it is happening like this?
