    Yeah same , i slightly rev to 3k rpm by locking the throttle which works same as a choke [emoji23][emoji23]

                Xblade is smoother than Hornet, it's a vfm machine for Honda lovers.

                True, I have ridden old Hornet of friend and bought 2018 model, since then all problems It has been 1 yr now and odo clocked 6k kms , Problems I face ,

                Hard gear shifting- changed gear shaft twice still no use
                Engine vibrations under seat in 3 gear
                poor headlight
                Engine heating

                  Use strong detergent to clean the rotor and sand the brake pads a bit.

                  But if you lack the time for that, just overheat the pads, drag them and ride for quite a bit and your bit would progressively return, this is not recommended but gets the job done.

                    Same thing happened with me , i cleaned the disc with tide detergent and cleaned the brake pads using emery paper, outside mechanic can clean the disc pads.

                      It's strange previously i faced these problems but after completing 5k kilometers i feel no vibes gearbox is also smooth. What engine oil do u use? I use Honda mineral oil and change it at 2k kilometers.

                        Must be body shiner. I also faced the same and had to drive for a kilometer without break. I just used cotton cloth to remove slippery liquid from disc.
                        If still facing issue, try vim soap.

                          They have replaced break pads stating they are worn out for 6300 kms how ridiculous and also charged me 750, 600 for pads and 150 labour charge though its under waranty, will get my old brake pads replaced and will ask for refund! hope I find a good local mechanic I am done with 3 free services!!

                            ASC is definitely cheating. How come break pad gone wrong in 6K km or the liquid they sprayed must have messed up the pads. I got it replaced at 15K.
                            I go at Vashnoi Honda. See my older posts for the case. Overall ok for any issue. Explain clearly and give not what to do.

                              I got my chain tightened by a local mechanic and slack is 25 mm when the bike is in center stand , but after sitting on bike there is no chain slack is it alright or should I increase chain slack.
                              Good service centers in Hyd? bought 2018 model full of problems they changed brake pads at 6k kms!
