Re: Hero Moto Splendor/Joy/CD-Dawn/Passion

Use a nice grade oil. I would suggest using a good 10w40 grade mineral, if not 20w40. There are some good options like Motul, Valvoline and Veedol to choose from. Get all the electricals checked. Check the frame for any rusts and clean them if you want. Give me the bike a proper wash even. Clean the air filter (if it's a sponge one) or replace if it's a paper one & too dirty. Also, get the spark plug condition checked. Post a picture of it. I would recommend starting over with a new plug since it had been idle. I change my plug at every 10k distance. Lube the chain nicely as well. Get it tightened and lastly, a carb clean would be nice. It would ensure that your bike goes on smoothly. If you are planning on using it in the long run, do a head cleanup at 30k KMS on the ODO.

Hero Moto Splendor/Joy/CD-Dawn/Passion

Need a help. I got access to a very sparsely ridden 2011 CD Deluxe which had been sitting idle for the last few months. I cleaned it up, inflated the tyres and after some struggle powered it up. I rode it for couple of km and it rides fine.

It has been ridden only for max 25km in the last year.

I'm planning to change the oil, turn signals (which are not working) etc. Tyres seem to be okay and doesn't need immediate attention.

I'm planning to use it as my backup daily driver. What are the things I should check to make sure it's good before using it?

Need more info on the comparison of osram h1 bulbs viz rallye vs sliverstar.

Re: Hero Moto Splendor/Joy/CD-Dawn/Passion

@sibun sir, I changed the valves and bore-piston kit of my 2010 passion pro at 90k km on the odo. Everything was just fine untill I changed my enigine oil to castrol power1 15w40 semi synthetic. The oil was literally like water, the bike became really fast revving but it had a very negative effect on the engine. It had started consuming a lot of engine oil hence the bore change was done. I switched over to Castrol Activ 20w40 mineral after the bore job and I've decided not to use any semi-synthetic/full synthetic oil ever in my bike . It has covered almost 5000km since the bore change and the obsrevations are as follows-

1. compression has drastically increased. bike is pulling up steep inclines in top gear itself even at 30 kmph without the slightest hint of lugging.

2. I am getting good average mileage of 65 kmpl.

3. Really smooth upto 50kmph but the bike DOES NOT GO ABOVE 55 KMPH .

4.Whenever I try to go beyond 55 kmph the bike makes a weird sound and just does not pull.

The carb tunig is perfect, no oil on the spark plug threads. All the works were done at HERO SVC near my house. The work was really unsatisfactory as i encountered many problems during the initial 500 km of riding itself.

PROBLEMS ENCOUNTERED DURING INITIAL 500 KM AFTER BORE KIT REPLACEMENT

1. Bike was just not pulling and felt really harsh.

2. Valve tappet clearance was not set properly and it was making lot of tappet noise. Had to fight with the SVC guys to get it done.

4. Very poor mileage. Opened the carb and found a lot of dirt in the float and the jets were blocked. Cleaned and tuned myself and the mileage returned to 65kmpl.
The bike was giving 60 kmpl before i gave it to the SVC. Somehow the SVC guys screwed up my carburettor .

5. Even after carb cleaning the bike was severely missing above 40kmph. It felt like there was no fuel. The harshness became intolerable. I checked the tank and fuel line but no rust/block was found.

The SVC guys had no clue as what to do. They literally ruined my bike. Finally i gave up on the HERO svc and started diagnosing myself. I found the culprit to be a leaking HT wire. The HT cord was new but somehow it was leaking current. Insulated it with some M-seal at the ignition coil end and to my surprise, the bike is back to 80% normal. Pick up, smoothness and mileage all increased. But everything is ok just untill 50 kmph. It just refuses to pull above this speed. But still there is a missing sensation above 55 kmph. Today morning i got ' JHATKA' from the HT cord while checking it for any leaks. Now I seriously suspect the ignition coil to be faulty as the HT cord is SWISS make and is just 2 months old. I really need your help sir as i am confused whether to change the ignition coil or to change the entire wiring harness. I just want to bring back my bike to its former glory.

LESSON LEARNT- NEVER GIVE YOUR PRECIOUS BIKE TO THE SVC FOR IMPORTANT ENGINE RELATED WORKS. 95 % CHANCE IS THAT THEY WILL RUIN EVERYTHING & STICK TO MINERAL OIL AS THESE HONDA CUB DERIVED ENGINES JUST DON'T LIKE ARTIFICIAL OILS.

We can now order genuine parts online from Hero . Although the web-portal is just started and still not perfect , very happy that finally Hero has come to know about the internet

Nice project bike . My experience is that if someone just put away a useful bike for years like this , it had developed some problem that could not be solved at that time . Take off the seat & tank and start cleaning up & checking everything . Remove the battery if it has one , surely it has to be replaced . The parts manual has detailed diagrams , but make sure you get the correct parts-manual by the model & manufacturing year. Ask here if you get stuck anywhere , I learned a lot here . Best wishes .

Re: Hero Moto Splendor/Joy/CD-Dawn/Passion

Hello fellow enthusiasts, recently a friend gifted me a 15 year old Splendor. I am planning to restore it to its former glory. I am thinking of going the DIY way. A soft copy of the service manual and also the owners manual will be of immense help. Thank you.
Attaching a pic which I took using my mobile camera in the night.
