    Thanks for the information...

      check the wire end that goes in to spark plug cap...there could be carbon formed inside the wire end that connects to spark plug cap. otherwise replace the spark plug cap with new one.how old is spark? Do tell us when problem gets solved.

      • Spark is 2 year old, has covered 12 K, any idea about the cost of spark cap and wire?

        • Spark around 100 Rs, spark plug cap 60. No need to change the wire....just clean contact point to make it free of carbon before inserting in cap.

              • Great to see such a happening ownership forum. While browsing ownership thread,noticed one thing on speedometer of Twister, recommended gear at different speeds are marked in it. So I guess, in one way it can be used as good alternative to RPM meter. are these markings useful ?

                Took test drive of twister and dream yuga last weekend, dream yuga FELT to be more smooth....somebody else has same thoughts ??

                  Nice to see this, dint except this much parts will be under the air cleaner. I'm also have to open the chamber to inspect, my driving is always on toooo dusty truck road.

BUllshit i know they are having it. they refuse to give it to customer. i my self can change the cable. they want to charge bullshit like labour charge. they want to give my bike to them to change that cable.

                  DO YOU KNOW ANYSHOP WHERE EVER IT MAY BE IN CHENNAI THAT SELLS ORIGINAL HONDA SPARE PARTS. AFTER LONG SEARCH IN INTERNET I FOUND OUT TWO SHOPS AURORA AUTO AGENCIES IN Royapetai, mahaveeer auto agencies in cindadaripet... anyone bought any spare parts from this shops.
                  Friend first of all why you went to showroom funny of you. For a speedo cable go to a local spare parts shop and ask unicorn cable it's perfect fit & costs 85rs only. Bcz it's very hard to find twister spares. In my friend bike he's using Uni cable only.

                  If u want geniue spare go to a honda spare parts dealer shop. Which is in wall-tax road, in between Chennai central station & elephant gate police station.

                          those markings indicate speed limit for each gear....if we go past that speed limit for given gear,then it can harm engine.Its an indication of maximum engine RPM we may rev the engine....but we do not know how much that maximum RPM is.....ie 6000 RPM or 7000 RPM etc.so its not an alternative to RPM meter.

                              If its shaking only when front brakes are applied....then something is wrong with braking mechanism. First check the free play of front brake lever...it must be 10-20mm.it can be adjusted. there could be issues with brake cable at connection points at front wheel. there can also be a problem of brake shoe wear....although chances of this happening is very less since bike is only 4k old...but can happen if it had been wrongly set. can you post a pic of front wheel on Left hand side? I am posting a pic of mine....just post a similar close up pic(area marked with red square) of your front wheel. but before clicking the pic tell someone to hold the brake lever tight. when you hold the brake lever a pointer (with small arrow mark on brake arm moves indicating how much brake shoe wear has taken place)

                                Thanks for clarification, still something is better than nothing ( read RPM meter ).
