    A bike cover perhaps?

    Alternatives would be carrying around a mini vacuum cleaner or laminating the entire bike somehow. [emoji50] [emoji38]

                Had been to the showroom. The ASC guy did this and fixed the issue [emoji106]

                So, except for the sarrr chain noise and little difficulty to change gears, I think everything is working as expected. Thanks for the help guys!

                  Ok cheers
                  For the gear shift you have to live it untill an year after that some relief can be seen.
                  Chain sound not expected in a new vehicle get it cleaned and lubed.

                    Oh. Expected gear shifts to be smooth like the test drive vehicle. It's not bad, but it's not "Honda" smooth.
                    Okay. Will get the chain checked then.

                      Honda oil is manufactured by Idemitsu too. I have used it once on my Hunk.
                      Hero oil is manufactured by Veedol, Bharat Petroleum and Savita. Not sure if Idemitsu is also a supplier to Hero.

                        Honda Hornet 160R hot engine sound

                        anyone faced this issue or have possible solutions for this.

                        After changing to hero 10w30 my bike has become very smooth. Only issue i was facing was small vibrations on brake and foot pegs. Local mechanic adjusted very little in the carb and the vibrations were gone. But once the engine heats ( approx driven for 15 Kms in 30 min) bike behaves as show in this video. I mean when i raise the rpm to 3000-4000 and release the throttle it will stay there for some seconds and then slowly fall to idle rpm. my idle rpm currently is about 1200-1250.

                          Local mechanic might have altered the factory fuel screw setting. Get it readjusted to original setting.

                              It is bit difficult to relate the smoothness of engine with this model I have almost done 16K kms and still, at times I feel the engine may need some more time.
                              So better is start living with it, it is a characteristic behaviour of this vehicle to make some noise.

                                It will be a lot smoother by 5000 km.
