Usually I never noticed this sluggishness at all until day. Is it possible they mesed up around with adjusting anything to do with pickup? How do I correct it and what do I check? Please advise as I am pretty novice when it comes to bikes, just trying to learn.
    I forgot to mention to rotate the rear wheel on main stand in "neutral".

      Edited Adiyogi picture and get it cut and fix at local shop.
      It didn't turn out perfect. I wanted full black lamination on hood with picture on center. The shop guy told they dont have that perfect martial for curved zig zag surface. Click image for larger version Name: IMG_20190309_125411-01.jpg Views: 1 Size: 19.4 KB ID: 1965772

        Don't go for too tight chain, a loose chain is much better than heavily tighten chain. Don't worry it is not going to fall out.

        Recently ASC tightened the chain after 5K run (I was running pretty loose since 2-3 K and was stable, not further loosing).
        When chain is getting dirty and dust is getting accumulated, a tight chain going to give you too rough ride than a loose chain.
        Since last 2 weeks my bike started running like something stuck in break and it gone worse. At low speed, a significant vibration in foot-peg on each rotation . I cleaned the break but no improvement.
        Today I started cleaning the chain, the wheel was not even rotating on either clutch engaged or disengaged in first gear. After a couple of Diesel spray it got freed. Earlier too, chain went too dirty but bike was there was no vibration.

        Overall, if chain is bit looser than standard, leave it , it is not going to loose further. But if tight, eventually it is going to loose and you will face rough ride. Also, don't spray lube on dirty chain, it is going to attract more dirt.
        I going to get rid of Motul lube, it seems to attracting too much dirt
        Same feelings, the svc guys at jaybee honda tightened my chain too much! And the ride felt rough and it struggled to reach 80 kmph, after that i loosened the chain from outside mechanic and the bike became smooth [emoji4][emoji4]

          Vibrations update:
          So finally test rode new fz v3 and guess what! At 6k rpm the clutch lever started shaking and the key started moving in the tank portion due to vibrations! Thank god hornet is smoother than fz above 4k rpm, also the pull was missing in fz. My bike has normal single cylinder vibes, nothing much. Feeling happy now!

          Conclusion: The 160 4v is the smoothest motorcycle in segment! Even smoother than the r 15 v 3, confirmed after test riding all the above mentioned models.
          Thanks.Click image for larger version Name: P_20190311_182505.jpg Views: 1 Size: 77.1 KB ID: 1965848

              Yes, the pull from 4.5k rpm is engaging in hornet [emoji4][emoji4] when compared to other Japanese streetfighters.

                Apart from 1604v , hornet is the powerful in it's segment...only the power delivery in low RPMs is the minor drawback

                Didn't consider r15v3 as it's a full faired kind

                  R 15 is in different genre since it's liquid cooled high tech motorcycle.

                      Does anyone know about the on road performance/review of Honda cb300r (the one gonna be available for Indian customers)

                      Just curious to know, as am impressed about its power to weight ratio, which should give it a superb good performance/acceleration/top speed

                      Also how well it's performing against it's rivals of 300cc segments??

                          It's performance is nearly equivalent to duke 390. I am also curious to ride the bike. But price is high for a single cylinder, but peace of mind is guaranteed by honda! i.e no oil mixing with coolant+ fi issues etc.
