    I guess its water somewhere causing this issue. any direction whats behind this...

    Check your air filter side seems that water vapours are being sucked by the engine through filter side.

    You have made it easy for me.
    I'll be doing a TD of Shine,Twister and may be Yamaha SS125 too, before coming to final conclusion
    Thanks Again.

    That's the way to go man, after taking TD just report how did you felt with the vehicle and ofcourse your final decision, and do take test ride of SS125 before making any decision.

    Another 125cc product comes from Tvs phoenix, recently rode this bike and i was very much pleased the way bike performed, max speed i touched was 80km/h even though the bike was faily new,the engine was very smooth, handled well, seating position was quite relaxed, pillion seat is not too high so that’s another good sign for a product, returned the mileage of 63km/l.

    Shine is also a good product but i have already mentioned it, i will not consider Hero motocorp’s glamour as i don’t like the vehicle plus the bike is not too successful also, you can go for Passion or xpro from hero stables.
    So in the end if you want a good vehicle with longterm reliability, decent mileage, and relaxed position you should look out for shine, the only drawback with this product is poor ASC of Honda, but if you can manage this service part or can find a decent mechanic than i don’t think you should be looking anywhere else.

    And its not like I am looking for honda,any brand will do.
    All I am looking for,is a bike with decent look,mileage and is comfortable enough for long run.
    I just don't want a bike which is high on maintenance.

    Thanks a lot for the help.I'll surely be getting a TD before buying the bike .
    Any other bike you suggest in 125 CC Segment?
    I am also thinking of taking TD of Stunner.

    Riding and maintaining bike is my passion, yes i have ridden twister and infact owner of the vehicle ( who is my friend) was complaining about this same gear issue, i rode the vehicle and it was as smooth as an Honda bike should be, even my friend was quite amused that i was having no such problem, most of the times my friend problem lies in your riding habit and not in the vehicle, yeah sometimes there can also be a fault in the vehicle, but that's not in our hand. I can understand as you are a newbie you will have goosebumps but man every vehicle has got some ups and downs, some brands have more flaws some have less, honda has also got some flaws in there vehicle but that dosen’t mean that there products are that inferior,so i would suggest you to take a test ride of the vehicle and see for yourself.

You can also go for Passion xpro, has got the same Honda's engine used in dream yuga with slightly different tune, and the Asc of Hero is better than that of Honda's.

    Stuck clutch in Dream Yuga...

    Hi all..! In my previous post of 29 April I had mentioned about lack of compression in my Dream Yuga.. Back then the bike had automatically returned to normal..
    Today again I'm facing the same problem. I had just started from my home when suddenly the bike stalled. Tried to start but found very little compression in kick lever. Then tried using kick by depressing clutch in 1st gear. Shocklingly the bike moved forward even though the clutch was depressed. Same happened in 2nd gear also. Tried multiple times but then gave up as I was afraid of damaging some internals in this process. That the bike is moving forward indicates that clutch is not disengaging even after depressing the lever. What could be the reason? Bike has done just 8000 km and I dont ride the clutch, so question of bust clutch plates does not arise. The bike hasn't started yet...

    Please help...
