My wife finds the pillion seat very comfortable. She used to complain a lot about the FZ's ride comfort but she has no problems at all with the Twister.Originally posted by rapperswil View PostHELLSFURY: How does your wife find the suspension as a pillion rider? One of the twister reviews (google frugal flyers) commended the Twister for outstanding pillion comfort.
To other Twister owners: I have had no oil leaking from rear shocks. My problem is that the gears keep slipping after I change them - this after using full clutch per the service technician's recco. Otherwise, the bike is good. At 50, there are no vibes, I almost fell asleep once!!
Has anyone else faced problems with the gearbox?
Looks like the Twister has not become popular after all.
I too have the gear slipping problem occasionally. Hmm...guess its not an isolated incident as I thought. My bike too has no vibrations upto 55-60 km/h. Have not ridden beyond 60.
And yeah there are hardly any Twisters on the roads. The bike sales just haven't taken off yet.

I think that's ex-show room price of base version, also 58k is on-road price(meaning includin taxes+registration etc., but without accessories as it's from Honda!!) for the one with disc brakes.. drum brake version will certainly be cheaper by another 5 or 6k (I'm hoping so).Originally posted by veryhiphop View PostPrice vary from city to city...due to taxes and bike handling charges...here in Delhi Twister is 46,902 on roadLet's bring down the monster of corruption to it's knees.. please visit http://ipaidabribe.com/

For all guys, check your mileage only after the first service. To be precise, you should check only after running-in (above 1000 km)

I hope ur wife sits Double sided always..what was her opinion when she has sat single sided?
By the way have u got in a pillion holder fitted? the one showrooms guys are giving is really very poor/bad looking..Also by any way could we have that thing fixed in a way it doesnt take off the appeal of the bike too much?
let me know!!

I argued with the showrooms guys for Ten Minutes and then left the matter..Its not for not giving Proper Address proof but it seems like 100 is the amount that goes into the pocket of RTO for every bike that is being registered..50 bikes registered in a day,the whole team of RTO sharesOriginally posted by bala_racing View PostLOL

Taking and even Giving bribe is a punishable crime.
By the way, who knows the Rs. 100 might go into the showroom guys pocket too. After all there would be no documented proof.

Yes, she sits double sided always. She tried sitting single sided once but she was not very comfortable. But that could be because she is not used to sitting like this.Originally posted by R2CRAWFORD View PostHellsFury, I too have travel with my wife atleast 25% of the time..

me getting mileage of 64-67
lowest was 64 now in rains ..in mumbai
ii have seen tire pressure recomended for front is 25
and rear is 36-41 single/pillon
36 psi on rear tire with pillion makes the bike wobble -- hence i keep 41 psi but MRF recommends this( 41) as max air pressure for rear
is this a good practice even if i am riding single most of time ?Last edited by blackcatasus; 07-04-2010, 05:08 AM.
