The pulsar cs400 is being launched with led headlamps. Will those be compatible with the hornet?

Re: Honda CB Hornet 160R Owners Experiences
Yes that's right! I felt my tachometer went wrong!Originally posted by kiranvarghese40 View PostOn what gear do you redline it?
I tried on fifth, but it maxed out around 105 at 8500rpm
----consecutive posts auto-merged-----
I haven't redlined lower gears yet.Originally posted by Shashank K R View PostFifth is overdrive. Very difficult if not impossible to redline. Other gears are far easier to redline. After 3rd gear redline, there's not juice much left in the engine (touches 100). Remember, too much of anything is bad.
Love the grunting after 6k rpm.
Anyone tried a 55/60W bulb?
Addition of new bulb will void your warrantyRide hard, Ride safe! :D

Re: Honda CB Hornet 160R Owners Experiences
Yes, It's normal. If you are at higher gear and low RPM bike switches off. There is little precision needed for 2nd and 3rd gear when to shift low or high.Originally posted by Ananda View PostClocked 1500 Kms. I dont know if this is normal but my bike switches off when I am in higher gear with low RPM. Is this due to taller gear ?? TIA
Engine start grunting if at 2nd gear and little high speed and on low speed and in 3rd gear.------------------

Re: Honda CB Hornet 160R Owners Experiences
Sometimes, when i downshift from 2nd gear, it goes to neutral. It happens when i upshift from 1st gear also.
Recently it is happening quite a lot.
And also, when i shift from 1st to 2nd gear, i can hear the sound of the gear getting locked quite clearly (even in the crowded place, A Tok sound). But i never hear anything when i switch to other gears.
Is it normal?

Yes, that is normal. How old is the bike? Rather, how old is the engine oil?Originally posted by mac4rfree View PostSometimes, when i downshift from 2nd gear, it goes to neutral. It happens when i upshift from 1st gear also.

Is it normal?Got a $5 head? Get a $5 helmet.
Because everyone who passes, isn't a martyr!

Re: Honda CB Hornet 160R Owners Experiences
I have already completed more than 7000 km and done 2nd service in 6000 Km at EVM Kakkanad. Everything is fine . I needs to clean my horn switch .... some kind of malfunction in sometime.... head light beam is also not great ... but far better than some Hero Honda bikes .... I think its a common problem among Honda family ... battery 4Ah.... I am ready to spend more for a 7 Ah or 12 Ah battery .. no bulb up gradation is possible with 4 Ah. 2nd service was good except their water wash, at least they should wipe out water from the bike after pressure wash. Splashing from rear in monsoon season is also a headache.. pillion will drown with water and mud from the road.
Anyway great experience with Hornet

Re: Honda CB Hornet 160R Owners Experiences
It is recommended by some seniors to switch to synthetic after around 6000km, ie, after the second service.
Coming to the foot rest, [MENTION=77529]Motomonster[/MENTION] and [MENTION=83684]appsvasan[/MENTION] have fitted the foot rest of other bikes. FZ's foot rest may fit.Last edited by Shashank K R; 06-17-2016, 11:46 PM.
