  • Hey Ravi, no worries - I guess you were out riding!

    I was a little concerned about bending the clamp incorrectly which is why I asked for pics. It turned out to be very easy, especially after the battery was held in place.

    Do post the pics anyhow, I'd like to see what the Bosch battery looks like. Incidentally, I happened to be at the Bosch dealer for wiper blades and he had no clue about the battery range.

      I just wanted to experiment this time. I guess I have to switch back to HH tide water oil again.
      BTW, Today I noticed something abnormal with my bike. Everyday when starting the bike for the first time in the day I start and keep it idle for a min before riding within 30 for the next couple of min. It goes very smoothly even at this first couple of min. But today it was different. For the first few min I felt as if the bike is getting into reserve. The pick up was not smooth at all. I have never experienced this before. After first couple of min that problem was gone but I felt less pick up.

        I too observed the same with synthetic oil. Engine growls a bit at in lower gears.

            • I hope there are some modifications to engine as well. HH is known for giving old wine in new bottle. The new aggressive look is of no use without more power and gizmos.

              I hope the plastic quality has improved. Otherwise, the large fairing will rattle to glory.

                    • Looks like it has also got LED Breaking Lights too.....

                      After RTR its ZMA's Turn to wear white dress.......

                      Split seats would have added more Attraction......

                      • But would be bad for touring if it had split seats

                            It shouldn't happen actually, but it can be the case too..!!

                            Looks kindda new..!!

                            This time its not only the cosmetic changes..rather some inner changes too like the PGM-Fi inclusion..

                            Shouldn't matter actually..as touring on the 220s is not a pain at all..!!

                            • Not sure I want to believe this, given the source of these pictures.

                              I for one don't like the fairing. Why aren't there pics showing the silencer? Why is it tht HH has left prime real estate (the tank) free of graphics?

                              Comment


                              • Somehow, the fairing looks odd and aftermarket. A kind did not gel well with the bike. Lets see how it would be in real. Full fairing means a liquid cooled engine. I can see PGM-FI written on the fairing. But, after seeing what Honda's PGM-FI did to the Stunner, I feel there will be very little improvement in power. I hope I am wrong.

                                Any front and rear angles?
