    But if its only the high idle rpm, besides faster clutch degradation, will it have any other adverse effect. I'm kind of liking the ese of use it provides in traffic. Just release the clutch and you move!

    Thanks for the reply.
    The idle rpm is high, adjust it and check your accelerator also. Dont worry I was also having the same. The SVC guy told me that he adjusted the rpm and fixed the accelerator. Its just an adjustment problem......

      *Cant confirm them, maybe the Honda guy is lying, but the rear tyre is surely changed.....
      rear TVS tyre is the only change in 2012 make not a model
      ya first batch twisters is having gear slip problem mine also one among on that.

      Company claims 70 kmpl but many are gettin much more than 75 kmpl.
      How can it be possible ??
      Did you see the post where a member got 85 to 97 kmpl in his old Twister....??
      ya myself got 97kmpl but that was a 40-50kmph ride on highways.
      But normally inside city i'm getting 70-75kmpl..

      p.s- its kind of convenient. But i guess it wont be once im forced to chance the clutch!!
      it's normal to all the vehicles not only bikes, if you release clutch slowly even without accelerate the vehicles get move but not on sudden release. i've tried upto third gear on my twister it went upto 20kmph without accelerate. So you no need to worry..

        well i have also noticed bit similar thing....but in my case it happens only towards the very end of clutch release...but if i fully release the clutch then bike stalls and stops.bike starts moving a bit when clutch is just about 2 mm away from full clutch release. and i use it during dead slow traffic pace...since i do not have to give accelerator it saves some fuel which otherwise would have wasted during idling. It could be due to high idling RPM and also due to rich Air fuel ratio....also check clutch free play.

        • Mileage update after 100/90 rear tyre cahnge

          There is no noticeable change in mileage after the swap. Still getting my usual 70~72 kmpl average while riding at 55~65 kmph speed range.

          Guys can all of you share your Odo reading and any problem faced with Twister engine. Since Unicorn users reporting engine issues with 40~50K kms. this will help us to know about twister's reliability.

          Here is my data.

          ODO READING 14,160 Kms.

          No specific problem except mild vibration between the speed range of 60-70 kmph. Do others have this thing?

          Mileage very consistent avge 70kmpl. all time.

          From my experience most suitable engine oil is 10W30 of Honda / HH from Tide water make with drain period of 2000 kms.This gives very throaty beat of exhaust.

          I have tried Valvoline SS 10W30(Rs 260/-) - good fuel eff. but last only 1200 kms.

          Castrol FS 10W50(Rs 700/-) utter waste for our engines since this has problem in circulation due to 10W50 grade and oil leakage at valve cover.

          Castrol active 20W40(Rs 230/-). Nothing great to write.

          Motul 20W40 may be good but I have no experience since availability is very difficult in my place.The users may comment with performance and fuel efficiency.

            also yeah in it is cited as Digital CDI ..
            good dayi also have a question pertaining to cdi. there's a motorcycle called tmx 155 from honda... and it has 6 pins just like the cb twister. do you have any shematic or diagtam or specs of the cb twister cdi so as i can compare it to other cdi?

              what is the pressure that you normally put in your twister tires?

                Both my wife and I felt that the suspension of the Twister was better. Its all subjective I guess
                Yes Twister's suspensions are truly better for the pillion at least as conformed by a lot of my pillion including my Dad who is a heavy person, brother, friends and strangely enough a policemen(gave him a lift)
                I love this bike but now days its having a small problem like it makes a lot of noise in 2,3 gears. May be its because i pushed it to the limit during the first few month of purchase.

                    But it doesn't make any noise. Do you lubricate the chain at least at 1500 km ?

                      Brother how are managing to extract that much. My SVC guys here have tried to tune n re-tune so much but im not getting more than 62 kmpl. What should I do. I think SAchin here gets over 80 kmpl too.

                        Nikhil, I have got 80+ during my trips covering 200+km in speeds ranging constant 40-50kmph.but when i do normal daily 10-12km rides around town i get 60-65 only and this mileage is normal....and during hard ripping in city traffic(mapusa friday traffic) it goes down to low 55kmpl. so i think its more about riding condition and riding style then just Tuning.Since twister engine is already optimized for maximum fuel efficiency I don't think there is much left to extract by means of tuning from twister from default setting.just see that you have set the idling to not more than 1300-1400 RPM when engine is worm...so If the tuning is perfect then bike will idle smoothly without much fluctuation at this RPM.

                          It's all depends on driving style & continuous ride. If you see some pages back i too mentioned my bike mileage is only 55kmpl, that time my ride is maximum 15kms per day. Still now i dint touch the engine for any tuning, So better to change your ride style rather than tuning the engine.
