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

    Last Sunday my 2014 model Super splendor got theft . Need to buy one urgently.

    1. 125cc
    2. Thinking to buy super splendor again, 81k onroad price. Have shine and glamour (82k) in mind.
    3. I believe that Hero bikes pays over the time.
    4. Recently drove 2 year old shine , ride was smoother and comfortable than my super splendor. But shine had much vibration @ higher speed.
    5. Now I understood Comfortable shockers pays well in long rides.
    6. Need to travel 65 km everyday in this lockdown , usual travel 25km everyday.
    7. Never ride more than 50km, but got skid few times in last 6 years. If front disk brakes makes ride safer, than would like them

    8. Looks, don’t give a damn.


    Suggestion please, as need to buy urgently

    I have a problem and would need urgent help, so today I was returning on my splendor ismart and all of a sudden there was a cheer sound and the engine was switched off , now it won't start on self and on kick there is a sound and after some 3-4 kicks, the kick becomes hard and am unable to kick
    Please find the YouTube link for thr same



    Thanks in advance
    From what I can see the bike has lost compression and there seems to be some sort of issue with the crank. Don't worry about mechanics. Hero bikes are not tough to repair. Let him check what's wrong first.

    I'd suggest this be the right time for you to start working on your own motorcycle, at least after a rebuild done at the ASC. Cause from your report it seems that there's something fishy about your FNG as its highly unlikely for an engine still within warranty mileage to face a seizure from a failed oil-pump, especially one that has had its oil changed a hundred or so km's before.

    As for sound, I recall listening to a video you'd shared a while ago(not the recent one), and your engine was noisy to begin with.
    I had started my bike by servicing at asc for first year but I was not happy with the service .
    After that I had got it serviced at an independent mechanic (around 1800-2000km) depending upon the mechanic to help me since am not a diy guy or didn't had too much knowledge.
    This is a new mechanic I have tried out now,
    Through a known person.
    You are right I need to start working on my bike needing to go into details.
    Regarding the noise I shared in a video some time back it was of timing chain which was fixed by adjusting the setting of the same and since last month that noise had gone away.

    Mechanic says that there should have been a different sound from engine but I couldn't make out any change in engine sound .
    Anyway have to get the engine rebuilt.
    Thanks for the support

    So I took it to mechanic and he says the engine needs work , it ran dry ( without engine oil)
    Am not sure how engine ran dry because in last service the oil that was drained was of right amount and I also didn't see any oil leakage at my parking .
    Waiting to get the hike towed from Noida to Delhi now

    Hope you have the service bill which they gave from the service, take that bill along with the bike, talk to senior manager instead of local entry level mechanics, try to fight it out that this issue was due to bad job done during last service.

    Dont worry if they do try to take you for a ride, do post pics here of the parts what they say is broken, someone will surely guide.

    If not, only option is to get the engine opened up removed from other good mechanic.

    Or you can go to service center, but there labor charges will be bit high, and they'll try to always push for engine rebuild, try to avoid and get the actual issue diagnosed first before jumping into rebuild.
    The mechanic which I got the work done from was a trustable one have always adviced me good , I can blame this on maybe human error .
    I am willing to look past that and somehow get the bike towed from current place to that once again , since I can't definitely trust a new mechanic with leaving my bike .
    Hoping for some good news tomorrow morning. Will talk to a couple of mechanics tomorrow in the market and then see .
    Thanks for the prompt reply in these late hours

    Dont try to start using self or kick anymore, it'll damage the internal parts even more. Take it to nearest mechanic or service center, ask them dismantle the engine and inspect.

    When was the last time you changed oil?

    Am really scared now since I am not near home now but at an unknown place and what if a mechanic tries to take me for a right.

    Today evening changed the engine oil for my Hero Splendor Plus BS4 model, done service with ASC, informed them to just topup the oil and then changed the oil with a local mechanic.

    This is the first time I am using an oil other than Hero OE oil since the bike was purchased.

    I choose Motul 3000 4T Plus 10W-30 (1Ltr)Click image for larger version
