    i can remember there was a net like thing made of some soft cloth like material..... it was a kind of filter surrounding that stick to block any larger dirt particles in fuel.

I noticed this on my bike too... it was looking bit dirty/reddish color...but i was not sure if it was due to dirt accumulation or its due to color of petrol which is also reddish.

    I want to do some modifications to my Twister.
    I've some ideas I want to share with you guys.

    First off, I've a spare MRF ZAPPER C 100/90 - 17, can I fit it on front rim? I know it will unbalance the bike, but to what extent?

    Secondly, I'm thinking to remove headlight assembly and get a round light fitted.

    Third, I'm thinking to give it whole matte black paint job and orange details.

    Other ideas coming in soon.

    Do not fit Rear tyre at front....its risky and not safe...also front tyre should ideally be smaller size then the rear one. front tyre is designed for better maneuverability....rear one wont do that properly and you will face handling problems.

    My bike has developed a lot of rust, specially on the tank(the clamps holding the front plastic wings, which are welded on to the tank and the fuel line coming out of the tank). The clamps have developed deep rust, i removed as must as i could and painted it. I am really worried about the rust problems now.

    Yes.
    As a rule of thumb, change the AF every 10k kms and spark plug every 12k kms. Keep the older plug as spare.

    for height issue it would be better to replace the shocks with a shorter one.

    Re: The Honda CB Twister

    Hi Guys,

    I am looking to sell CEAT Vertigo Rear Tubeless tyre 100/90 -17. I had installed it 1.5 months back.

    My review for same:
    Hi Guys,

    I changed rear tyre to CEAT Vertigo (as i was suggested in this thread).

    Review:
    - Rear height has increased a bit.
    - Tyre has good grip, firm & stable.
    - But those who already have height issues, don't go for this tyre. As with me - I am facing lots of height issues.

    Thanks.


    Anyone looking to purchase it, Please Contact me
    Its in good (almost new) condition, You can see its hairs on edge (as seen in images).Click image for larger version
