    150's was perfect fit. Cost was rs 1600/-.

        stop worrying, get it washed but not with too much of pressure wash.. ask them to keep the nozzle a few feet away and use their finger to reduce the pressure and get the chain washed.. again don't over do it.. just a few seconds should get most of the dirt off.
        then wipe it down with a cloth and lube it with fresh engine oil or EP 90 gear oil.

          I'm washing it myself frequently as this problem persists till the rains are up.Buddy,thanks for help.I think Twister is vulnerable to rains than most other bikes

          ----consecutive posts auto-merged-----

          Rains invite rust.Are there any transparent stickers available to protect the bike's parts from rusting?Also,if anyone could suggest some maintenance tips during rains?

            more bikes these days have open chains, and are as vulnerable as the twister if you wash it frequently, make sure you are lubing it too after the wash

            to reduce the chances/effects of rust, you can just wipe the parts you are concerned about and spray a light layer of wd40 during the rains (definitely not on the tank or the disc brake !!)

                I follow following process:

                A. Wash bike with good shampoo every 2-3 weeks and apply wax on painted surfaces. Lube chain with EP90 Gear oil, Engine oil is not recommended.
                B. After 1-2 hours, take it for drive of atleast 8-10KMs so that engine, inaccesible metal parts get dried. Get air checked.
                C. Wash bike only with plain water every week/or after rain. This takes just 5 mins. Lube chain.
                D. After 1-2 hours, take it for drive of atleast 8-10KMs so that engine, inaccesible metal parts get dried. Get air checked.


                Any kind of stickers would encourage water to get deposited on metal as metal below stickers could not be waxed/washed. Avoid them.

                  Minor update to Twister model

                  Short update....I went to Honda showroom last week to collect my bike's RC. I was surprised to see twister their in sports red color ( similiar to P135's red ) , on enquiring they told its new color and now heat shield over silence is coming in black color. Same changes are reflected in Honda website too.

                    Are you sure about the AFR screw rotation. Becoz I have done some experiments and came to a conclution that If i rotate in clockwise direction Fuel will become leaner

                      thats right, this red color also has red paint instead of silver lining present surrounding the seat area. As per website its also shocking to see honda has stopped Green and white colors. Before this the blue color was also stopped.

                          I missed to see that they have stopped white color !!!! Every other new twister seen on road is of white color, it was quite popular atleast in delhi. Dont know what honda is thinking.....

                                both are good. Yamaha gives priority to getting maximum performance out from their bikes where as Honda try to maintain balance between performance and fuel efficiency.
