    Anyone has any idea as to which brand of spark plug is installed by default in a new CB Twister? Manual says NGK,i guess...
    Yes Its NGK. I got mine replaced with new one.

      The only and main confusion i was having was reliability over a long run coz passion is something which we are seeing already reliable over a long run and twister being new bike cant say anything about long run at least not at this moment but i guess i will take my chance and go for twister....
      buddy,The passion Engine is actually designed and developed made by Honda.Hero is just their partner having good dealership network.And big news is that Hero and Honda have called off their partnership.so now you will not see any new bikes with hero honda label,but only see hero cycles on road.ALL technology & knowledge is with Honda and not Hero group.Hero group only makes fancy and colorful new stickers which you see on passion. so go for twister,its a generation ahead in all aspects compared to passion.

            HELLSFURY: 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.



            Hey,me too...gears keep slipping...the bike comes to a halt sometimes with a chain slipping sound,n i need to shift the gear once again. Any help?

              Ronit'jee , I think you haven't cleaned/lubricated/adjusted your drive chain yet . Do that well , and adjust the chain-slack to proper tension , adjust clutch with little bit of free play and see your gear shifts become butter smooooth .

                    Cool...Use the plain petrol. Use of high octane speed/power not recommended,will cause more engine knocking! Brand as such will not make much difference,but make sure u get ur tank filled from a good,reputed petrol station/pump,can be of any brand. I prefer HP though.

                      I once tried using high octane once,just to see if there is any difference.I felt that bike was pulling better and more smoothly then before.But the mileage went down by around 4km.also when i listen carefully,the exhaust note felt little bit different i.e quitter note. i have switched back to regular fuel.This is just my personnel experience.any one having any other experience can share here.

                        The new spark plug came in a box with "Honda genuine part" written on the box,but on the spark there is NGK written on it.I have the old spark with me & there is NGK written on it.Its costing 90 bucks so it may not be Iridium bocz Iridium's usually cost more.I had some problem with suction pipe and service guy changed the spark,thinking its faulty and charged me for same.The old spark is in pretty good condition and has done just 2000km.I have kept old spark in my toolbox just in case it is required in emergency.
