Passion pro has completed 35,000 kms today. I have to service it but it is raining here all day long since last 2 weeks. Waiting for rains to end so that I can service the bike...

Hello Rajesh, welcome to the splendor thread. Yes, these bikes are long lasting. Myself a happy owner of a passion pro since February 2013. By the way, you did'nt tell that what bike do you own.

Welcome Rajesh to this thread.

Yeah this thread is a bible for bikes. But it is not limited to splendor series bikes. You own a gixxer sf i think. Any doubt and problems you can ask here. I will be glad to help you.
This is a technical thread than anything else.

And sure these bikes lasts long, way long than any bikes in market. Its only because of the simplicity and quality by Hero.

Now i have not been active here for many days due to some or other problems.

My bike has crossed 3.87 lacs kilometers and now its running towards the 4 lacs milestone.

My extreme got a engine overhauling in the month of august. So it took rest after that till run in was completed in city.

So the highway runs to office on sunday and back on weekends was handed over to Joy. So for 6 weeks it was running 170 km on monday and returning the same on weekends. Moreover local running at work place. A total of 500 kms in a week.

The weekend was trusted to extreme for city running.

Bike did extremely well and i could easily cruise at 70-80 kph. Also top speed i touched was 100 kph on speedo with luggage.
The surprising thing was while returning on weekends we used to return two people( a colleague of mine). Two people, both our luggage and we both. Still have space to move around and also bike was still easily cruising at 70-80 kph easily. Mileage was always 70+ most of time.


However did some works on Bike in these 3 months.

Overhauled the front shocks with new oil seal and endurance fork oil .

Ok did some other change.

The bike was back firing on closing the throttle after full opening. The fault was i know the SAI valve. But it was not available. After ordering and waiting got it after 3 weeks.

Changed the SAI and the air screw of carburettor. Bike is now as good as new. Sounds super smooth and tuning is constant strokes. Also the air filter was changed.

Engine oil as usual using Veedol Super swift 10 W 40.


One major modifications i done was changing the seat. At 15 years the foam has lost its tension and was compressing fully. Ordered for seat dunlop and made it done at a seat shop.

And Last but not the least.

During the sixth week when returning at night from work place it was around 9 in night and i was on highway. The headlight started flickering. But thanks to my joy trust on it it continued with light glowing and not causing any problem.

The next day the light failed. The bulb was found defective and changed. But the light was pathetic and also reddish without glowing fully.

The coil was changed and also magnet as the magnet had gone weak at almost 4 lacs km. I light improved but not much.

I knew that the regulator was blown as the flickering would have caused it.

Then also the reflector was also burnt in the top part which was making shadow.

Jot OE headlight was not available. Wanted to go for HS1 as my OE headlight was bosch cap type and the bulb has gone out from market.

But confusion was what to go. The New Dawn has a MFR reflector with HS1 bulb but no parking light.

The splendor pro classic and achiever has the same headlight with parking but it was not available. The light has to be round and no compromise.

Then thanks to [MENTION=19778]Bibhu[/MENTION] who suggested over phone to go for thunderbird headlight assembly.

Let me tell you the headlight is so well built that what to say. The headlight is glass with amazing quality reflector. The back is steel with chrome.

Mechanic did some adjustments and fit it without any problem.

One word the beam spread and quality was awesome. No other headlight comes close.

My extreme has excellent headlights but the spread was no match.

But the light was lacking intensity.

After much thinking changed the regulator to OE and also changed the bulb to osram silverstar as i am using same on extreme and light quality and intensity is far better than all other bulbs.

High beam

Low beam
this was with stock osram bulb.

Photos with new regulator and Osram silverstar, i haven't taken.

Will post as soon as i take.

And another think is that xbhp member Honda_cbf had come from jamshedpur to get his stunner engine re-built from my mechanic.

One word, is his bike runs much smoother and better than factory stunners. Even his resonance vibes at 3k and 6k rpm from factory has gone.

Returning at night.

Hey there bro. Let me tell you I'm a fan of you and your Joy. Yes you are right I own a Gixxer SF. I am very new in all these bike things but its very interesting. I love to learn new things and I have lots and lots of questions. I think even you would be tired of giving answers to. I am from Kolkata. A few of my colleagues are from orrisa. I told them about you [emoji3]
Anyway thanks brother for the welcome. Looking forward to learn a lot from you.

The engine oil leaks out in my hero honda super splendour..my father bought it in 2006..the engine oil dripps out like water from the hand..when i fill the engine oil,after around an hour,the engine oil chamber gets empty

Plz help me

Did you checked from where its dripping? It must be dripping from drain nut. Check if the drain nut is there and fully tightened with washer. It is loose i think. Nothing else it can be.

This is the bottom surface of the bike..i can't locate the chain nut..where is it located??

Dude.. some gasket shoud have worn out.. I doubt it is the clutch case gasket. Oil drain nut can also be culprit, draining in 1 hr is not a joke and must be fixed. Hold a video camera with light under the engine after pouring few oil. Then you can post that video from youtube.
