    Bike review video above...

    Honda did it again, Impressive...
    The bike looks solid with super breaking and light frame. I think specification on the paper don't really say what a machine in reality.

    With improving road conditions in India, a higher segment over 200cc will have more share on roads.
    But the Sad state of Indian manufacturers, going pathetic specially Hero. They have ruined their image with Xtreme 200 launched half decade delayed. No sight of xpulse and don't even talk about cruiser from them. Tvs and bajaj are also not doing very good. They need to predict future of two wheeler.

      Bajaj+ triumph collab will shake the 2 wheelers market in india, also next generation pulsar are also in the pipeline, i wish tvs developes a smooth 300 cc RTR to compete against cb 300r.

          Well said, but wat I personally felt is Bajaj, tvs should have diverse varieties of bikes like Honda.. rather than sticking alone with pulsars, Apaches...

          Also, Honda's pricing is always damn high (in terms of cars as well) and they should consider pricing reasonable as like the competitive brands

            None. It was previous Castrol 20w50 but 20w40 works anyway. Once you properly do a nice run-in, the engine is a piece of cake.

            It's a big disappointment. My friend has added two auxiliary lamps that rest on the crash guard. Also, added hazard lights as well.

                I would suggest that you do it after you are out of free servicing as it'll be less hassle to try whatever you want to. 10w40 mineral isn't easily available here so most people use 20w40.

                  False neutral is quite normal and happens when the dogs don't engage properly, the reason the dogs don't engage can be due to several reasons but inadequate lubrication is the most common contributor.

                  Do give Motul 3100 Gold a shot, though not a fan of Motul I have to say the quality of shifts have gone up exponentially on my P220 and the effect remains so even after 1k km's of use, the shifting used to be notchy in comparison on everything I've gone with in the past which includes Motul 5100 and 7100, which though are from the same manufacturer haven't brought such a noticeable difference.

                  May or may not work for you.
                  I did change my oil to Motul 5100 10W30 and there are changes, engine is much more smooth at 70 to 75 kmph and less false neutrals compared to earlier experiences.
                  Now the covered 2200 kms will be trying out different higher user rated motul products after 5000-6000kms.


                  Does anyone knows how to change stock led lamp of 2019 hornet to a higher rating

                    10W 40, 20w 50 represents 10,20 as cold temperatures and 40,50 are hot temperatures respectively ! Then why shouldn't we prefer 50 ? as our summer temperatures are skyrocketing day by day !!

                      Because of tight tolerance in engines of Honda and TVS, we've to be careful! But 10w 40 can be safely used on honda and tvs specially during summer.

                              Used it once, it's good, specially gearbox and engine becomes less stressed.
