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)

here's the front brake pic

Can some 1 let me know solution to these 2 problems:
1) What is the optimal tyre pressure for CB twister(without Pillion)

2) I had problems with engine turning off while slowing down or while holding the clutch in the traffic signals and also bike takeing several kicks to start. I took my bike to a a local mechanic and he cleaned the air filter, spark pug. Now the starting trouble is resolved but still some time, the bike turns of while while holding the clutch in signal.... I thinks this is very risky.... checked with another local mechaninc and he asked my to change my battery( my battery is really low). Could this be a reason. Will changing the battery help?

thanks

Change tires asap, cause then you will get a good price for them.
It will in no ways affect you're warranty, infact many riders do the same and have'nt faced any issues with warranty.

tyre pressures are given in user manual....if you are not having user manual then see the label which has been put near rear tyre....next to sprocket on left hand side.
about starting problem.....if bikes self starter, horn,or even side light is working then battery is good enough to run ignition.how old is battery? check the battery voltage...if its showing 9 volts or more then it should work.also try getting it charged from battery shop...if its not getting charged then its dying....you will have to get a new one. If battery is good then check idle RPM....you can raise it slightly by turning the Idle screw.

If you read Honda's warranty policy given in user manual...it does affect warranty. However as per user experience people have not faced any issues. It mostly affects Engine warranty which is of 2 years.

1.Check the label which is pasted on swing arm
2.Check the idling speed, i don't thick so battery changing will be help. Because in ma bike battery is almost dead. It'll work fine when bike is running if i stop the bike, battery ll get die. Means no backup

Hi guys.. I have a problem with my rear tyre.. What is the recommended age to replace tyres??

My bike is now more than 2.5 years old with more than 10,700 KMs driven mostly on city/town roads.. Never had a problem with the tyres, but 3 days back I noticed that I was losing pressure very quickly in my rear tyre.. When I got it checked at the tyre shop, a puncture was found and repaired.. They very next day, I again lost a lot of pressure, and this time again a puncture was found on a different location in the tyre and repaired.. To my frustration, even yesterday, for the third time I lost pressure.. This time it wasn't a puncture, by air was leaking from the side of the rim.. I got it repaired, but now on the fourth day again I find almost no pressure!!

Is it time to replace the tyre, or is it advisable to put a tube in the tyre (as the mechanic advised)??

Please give your suggestions.. Is it normal to replace tyres this early in the bikes life?

**sachin1111** · 02-11-2013, 11:59 AM

I think it will be better to get new one. since it has suffered several punctures at different places it will not perform well like before....secondly its likely to get puncture again which means you will keep on spending on repairs which is not a good thing. also keep an eye that on sharp objects...like nails and metal objects,glass etc while riding.

Yes, infact thats reason I am planning to get it changed as soon as its out of showroom. Tyre Dealer can give good exchange price as tyre would be new.

Hmm... Good point. I think I would be better with stock tyre. Do not want to loose peace of mind over warranty issues. I observed one thing when I went to book my twister, all white ones had TVS tyre and there are only 2-3 bikes of other colors with MRF tyres. TVS rear tyre had better threading than MRF ones.

Which ones should I insist for, MRF or TVS ?

It's known that the MRF uses better rubber compound than the TVS.

Even I had preferred MRF but TVS SEEMS to have better thread pattern for rear tyre. Thanks for your input !!
