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?

Visit your nearest SVC and inquire about the stickers.

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.

Are you sure about that? Stickers are always sold separately

By any chance can we get it covered under insurance?
Ananda Honda have very bad quality bumper. Even the bumper got bent.
Can I apply for insurance and replace all the minor parts which got scratches?

Not sure bro..
One side cover might cost around 1200 maybe and crash guard maybe 800
Plus service charges of SVC.

Don't know up to how much the insurance will pay for fiber parts.
Don't know if crash guard is covered under insurance.

Claiming insurance will affect on no claim bonus for next paying premium

So don't know if it's worth claiming insurance.

Yes sure you can get it covered under insurance. Just apply for insurance and provide them the information about how the scratches happened and they will cover the costs.

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?

Shifting to 5th is very delicate and sometime we don't notice. I have noticed it just few times.
Let's hope it not the issue of gear malfunction, (Hero Hunk has this issue and it's nightmare. gear get stuck in middle and bike roars like you are in neutral.).
Probably just a glitch, try little more push at 5th gear shifting.
In case of not resolving, please visit ASC.

Re: Honda CB Hornet 160R Owners Experiences

ASC suggested chain sprocket change. Bike has run only 11k km.

Expected?

I changed mine at 15k.. but mine itself was too quick they said.. I guess it's all depends on how we ride..

Oh. Even I was surprised. I thought it will last at least 15k km.

I don't drive too agressively. In hindsight, this was my first bike. I learned to ride on this. Maybe during the days when I was learning, I probably didn't ride smoothly. That's one reason, I guess.

It depends on how well we maintain the chain by tightening it on time and applying lube periodically. Chain lasts longer if you take care of it very well. Unfortunately, we've seen prolonged rain last year, which may resulted in pre-mature chain wear-out as we will not be in a situation to clean the chain every day. Otherwise, these chain should last for about 20K kms.

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!!!

MRFs are not bad. I'm happy with the performance of the stock MRF tyre. However, if you can shell out bit extra for other tyres, please go for it. However, please check for the hardness of the tyre. Some tyres has softer compound compared to MRF, which gives you super grip on the road, however, you will compromise on the early wear out and prone to punctures.

Please check if alloy wheel has any deformity before replacing the tyre. Also, maintain the optimal air pressure mentioned in the owners manual. Most of us tend to maintain 36 or whatever the petrol bunk attendant keeps.

I've seen a bike with lemon yellow pinstripe sticketing, which looks neat and simple. Please search in FB for the image. That will be my next cosmetic change if at all the stickers gets pealed off or attracts scratches while bike is parked

I've heard about complaint while shifting between 1st and 2nd as it will get stuck in false neutral. However, I've never experienced 4th to 5th gear shifting issues. it is the most smooth as the engine will be revving at higher speed.

Please have it checked with the ASC as it may be unique problem to only few bikes.

Check the condition of the chain yourself. The SVC sometimes tries to loot unsuspecting customers by asking for unnecessary replacements. Happens with all brands.
