    Beats the effort needed to use box spanners or a torque wrench as leverage is low enough that unless you're Arnold Schwazznigger you'd not have the strength to ruin the crank case threads.
    Thanks for the info. I thought the toolkit provided with the motorcycle is crap, but actually it's a life saver !

      Sir,

      My Splendor is behaving strangely & emitting white smoke, when started without accelerator and left to idle on its own even for 5 or 10 minutes.

      And when at standstill, if the engine is raced for even 10 seconds, then the white smoke emission stops. Again, no such emission is there, if it is started with slightly open throttle and is driven straight away.

      If it is driven for either 100 metres or 10 kms, the engine does not emit white smoke even on racing the engine.Click image for larger version Name: IMG_20190706_053730.jpg Views: 2 Size: 19.4 KB ID: 1967957Click image for larger version Name: IMG_20190706_053709.jpg Views: 2 Size: 20.4 KB ID: 1967958

        The Spark plug does not show like it is soaked in engine oil. It shows lean AFR..So my opinion is that the Valve stem seals had gone bad leaking small amount of oil while parked, which is burnt at start up emitting white smoke . Get the Valve stem seals changed at ASC..
        Good Luck..

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

          Is there any seat cover/cushion improvement that can be done on a CD Deluxe?

          My butt becomes sore just after 1hr of riding in this bike and the seat is stock. Even in my Activa, I have ridden without sore butt ( but get elbow pain with it) for around 2hrs continuously.

          I can’t increase the cushioning much too as I’m tall which will affect the handlebar reach.

          Any input appreciated.

            The pain is temporary, try meditation.

              A small update-

              Had changed the oil to hero 4t plus after a long long time. Castrol activ 10w30 was used earlier. Some observations after riding a few 100 km.

              Bike feels slightly rough. Castrol activ felt smoother.

              Strangely the clutch pull has become slightly harder ever since the oil change.

              Engine starts instantly and warms up in no time.

              But I think I will be reverting to Castrol again just because of this annoying roughness.

                    I tried it but it's inferior compared to Honda mineral oil.

                      It's the same which I am using. Mfd by bharat petroleum.The roughness is a basic character of this oil. But it's giving good mileage. Plus it's the cheapest.

                      Castrol/motul have a sweet and smooth feel while accelerating, especially motul. I guess I am addicted to that smoothness and hence feeling the hero oil to be annoying!

                        Use the one made by Tide waters india limited (veedol).

                          It's hard to source veedol engine oil here while motul/shell/castrol is available easily. Earlier the ASC had tide water mfd hero 4t plus. Now it's changed to bharat petroleum.

                            Also noticed that the above versions of CD deluxe and splendor nxg have the new model engine with self start and use a NON-CAT silencer!

                            Experts on this thread please provide more info about these peculiar versions.

                                Today came across this video.

                                Can we install the suggested/ recommended 4700 mfd 50 V in parallel to the battery to improve charging in our bikes ?
