        Sure dude...

        Done with service yesterday @ 25995km.

        Changed chain sprocket
        Changed air filter
        Switched to motul 7100 10w 40

        Post service, bike is running as hell as smooth. Unfortunately can't open throttle beyond 60kmph due to traffic. Improved torque in second gear.

        Will share my further observations in 2,3 weeks.

              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.
              Clean with petrol.

                So far so good, no major issue and no breakdown. It's been great ride experience with Hornet
                Upgrade modifications so far, apart from stock parts:
                1. Tyres: Michelin Pilot Street
                2. Spark Plug: NGK Spark Plugs CPR8EAIX-9
                3. Headlamp: P8 Xenon HID - apparently not available in market. I found it some corner shop. For the comparison better than Activa


                I though NGK Spark Plugs CPR8EAIX-9 is placebo effect. But after using it for a month. I can say, this spark plug is awesome.
                - Power deliver is smoother
                - Improvement in vibration
                - Quick startup and smooth engine sound on idle
                - Throttle response is so consistent.
                - Engine fires up in first attempt like it is always ready to roll even in cold morning.

                First issue with my machine:
                Horn button is stopped working. I tried spraying WD 40 but no help. Once in while, horn sound but otherwise button won't work.
                Any suggestion to fix it at home before visit to ASC !

                  Open the switchgear assembly and thoroughly clean from inside and speay wd 40 from inside.

                    Did you check the wiring? My Unicorn had this issue and the SVC guys suggested that I changed the horn. But a local mech took Rs 10 and check the wiring. It wasn't in proper contact with the horn (ends). That fixed it for me.

                        Yeah.. Will visit local mechanic. The connection looks intact. But the it's in very odd place to remove and plug back.

                          Horn issue resolved:
                          Went to a local mechanic. Connection was fine. HE tapped on horn , and it sounded. He tapped a hammer a few times and all good. [emoji38][emoji38].
                          He refused to tell the secret of this sorcery, but didn't charge any money. [emoji41]

                            Visit JSP Honda at Y Junction and ask that person who issues your Job card to assign your bike to S.Rakesh(Mechanic), He is good and treats my Hornet as his own.
                            Ofcourse don't forget to Tip him.


                            Ride Safe.

                                Hi guys !! A strange thing is happening with my bike. When i switch on the ignition key, there is no flow of current in my bike. My meter console remains off, so does all the lights. I decided to fix the problem and removed the head of the bike by myself. I found that the wire coming from the ignition assembly is a little loose, so, I fixed it. But the same problem persists. As soon as I use the kickstarter the current comes back and the meter starts working but a kit-kit sound comes for 2-3 seconds from the console and then sound goes off. While the bike is running, everything remains normal but as soon as I put the ignition key off and on again, no current flows. I am running on stock battery setup( which is 3 years old ).

                                What might be the problem,
                                1.) Battery or,
                                2.) Ignition assembly or,
                                3.) Meter console
                                Please help me on this. Thanks
