Re: The Honda CB Twister

I think upto 110 could be setup without taking off the chain guard but the suspension should be replaced to a slightly shorter one to compensate the height gain & I think pulsar's shock is a direct fit.By the way,thanks for the info.Likewise,if you have any other views,queries,infos or ideas,you can discuss it here.

Re: The Honda CB Twister

That was a Bridgestone BATTLAX BT-39 Most probably 120/80-17M/C
Link to product page BATTLAX BT-39 | Products | Motorcycle Tires | Bridgestone Corporation

As you can guess, I don't see any Bridgestone on bikes in India. That photo was from one friend from PH
Technical discussion thread - Honda CB110

But Be aware for that Setup you have to remove the chain cover. Handling and suspension performance would be affected also as our roads are close to OFF Road :/. It would be a nice little overgearing too ~5.2%

Re: The Honda CB Twister

Hello friend,I liked your profile pic.The rear tyre looks heavy from this angle.Can you mention its dimensions?

Re: The Honda CB Twister

Will get both leveled on next service :/ the official Service guys should have taken care of it - as the oil was paid by me, nvm. But another head turning issue is the Shifting, Though occasional, sometimes it sticks between 2 to 3 and/or 3 to 4 th gear and rarely 2nd gear refuse to engage for few second. Down-shifting is problem free. When my local Mech observed the issue he suggested me to change the 'Gear Leaver Spring' during Service. Any idea on such solution and whats that is !

But i am really reluctant to let those guys on ASS to play around the Motor. They say, I quote " Every Honda shows this Shifting issue to some degree". Regarding their workmanship in this particulate ASS, i find scratch marks on Tank and right engine casing in two free service that to oil change only. Though i don't rode in side city traffic much this shifting issue need to taken care of if possible.

Re: The Honda CB Twister

It is recomemded to change oil in both the forks at the same time wheneven its required. As the fluid loses its viscosity and properties over time, when one is filled with new oil, it creates imbalance between the two.

Re: The Honda CB Twister

Does it recommended that we change fork oil in both suspension (front) togather ? Because During the the Stump replacement only one side oil changed and i am feeling little weird vibration on the handle ( May be placebo :_) . both fork working as they should in speed breakers but it may have little difficulty absorbing unpaved tarmac (little bumps)

Re: The Honda CB Twister

They agreed to replace the front fork (left side) after taking a look. Waiting to see How that fares

Prompt customer support but lets see their service time for parts replacement

Re: The Honda CB Twister

Has anyone changed the headlamp electricals from AC to DC?

Re: The Honda CB Twister

After 1700 KM of Run-In, Decided to take a highway ride and Driven 1100 KM in two days (550 up and down) around (11-13 Hrs) stretch. It yields a FE of ~78 KM/L, Total ~14.5 Liters of fuel worth 1075 Rs spent on Gas. Driven @ 60 to 80 KM/Hr.

Initial observation: The Drag is noticeable after crossing 70 with mild vibe but with a little forward slanting it post a post 80 mark without much effort (Very good throttle response) (Low curb weight to blame for the Wind drag) (Engine temperature feels normal @ continuous riding, though its winter here).

Again my speedometer accuracy is ~ +/- 5 km/hr.

On the down side one of the front suspension is leaky and opened it up for a check at second service. Reveal legible marks on the Pipe but not enough to claim a replacement "according to service person" /: still under first month ! he advised me to ride hard for few month and get the front fork replaced.

Shifting is relatively smoother after second oil change at 2300

Very good for a daily commuter albeit little underpowered for highway and Mountain roads.

Re: The Honda CB Twister

On owners manual (page 42) honda has given a maintenance chart.... in that its mentioned that oil centrifugal filter and oil strainer screen is to be cleaned during first service and there after every 12000km. I think method of cleaning the oil filter for twister will be more or less similar to CBF125(stunner). As you can see in that link CBF stunner owner is referring to service manual...in that all the detailed procedure for oil filter cleaning is given. If we can get our hands on service manual then we can carry out all maintenance work....


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

Edward, have you seen new Tvs Apache RTR?....it has similar engine cowl. check with your local mech if it can be fitted under the Twister engine.

Re: Twister Modyfication !!


Hi, this is Edward from Mumbai, I'm new to modding, but i love the engine cowl mods in the pics. Can someone assist me with where to find the parts?
I bet someone has already fitted one.. Plz reply

Re: The Honda CB Twister

Been riding this little Honda cb since last fortnight. Odo shows around 1600 km getting consistent FE around 80 KM/L. Occasional false neutral between 2nd and 3rd shifting and non-O ring chain is a annoyance, being used in a dusty and hilly Roads. A O-Ring chain would have been no-brainer.

About "cleaning the Engine oil filter strainer" does is supposed to checked on first service ? the ASS guys just changed the Engine oil


Very useful user maintenance guide, though for cbf 125 (stunner) could be referred

Re: The Honda CB Twister

Folks,
Its been months since i am here. Worklife has gone outta balance
Quick updates on my twister.
6 months on the Ceat Zoom 100/90-17 . Yet to see the tyre on Ceat's website but have seen many on road, mostly on pulsars. Apparantly couple of pulsars in my apartment have this tyre now. The tyre is decent., with good traction even when you corner hard(on 100cc standards ). Better wet grip than the stock rear tyre, but not like michelin pilot sporty. Low grip on mud patches..
The meter assy is blown. speedo and odo not working since 22990kms on odo. Should have run 10000kms more min.

couple of oil changes. Shell advance 10W40, fully synthetic.

Went on an one day trip Chennai >bangalore >Chennai on the New year, round about 800kms.
Changed the Head light bulb since long beam fuse has gone. stock config, Bosch make
Changed the air filter today.


Am planning for a trip Chennai >Pune >Chennai on my Twister in first week on Feb. Need advise on things to check and look on.
the longest trip so far is the chennai > Bangalore >Chennai that i had mentioned above. I didnt had to check much on the bike for this and Chennai<->Bangalore route is quite familiar to me as i have done many trips on car. Now i've been to pune only on flights and never on road. So need advise from veterans on things to prepare.

Luggage is gonna be just a backpack so no much worry on that front.

Planning for a custom made visor. Any suggestions, from chennai?

Since the front suspension is taking hit with the high profile rear tyre Looking to change the rear suspension to Pulsar's Nitorx before this trip. Got a quote of 1500INR from a Bajaj parts store. non OE, brand name Endurance. can i go for it? Nanbarajaselvam_1987 can you help me out here?

feel free to suggest things to check, as am new to this route.

Thanks
