    Re: The Honda CB Twister

    There are some brands i was able to google.. They are..
    SKF
    Makino
    Usha
    Shriram Alpino
    Can anyone tell who is the OEM manufacturer of clutch plates for honda two wheelers india?

    one more thing is that can i use 15w50 grade oil in twister instead of 20w40 which iam using currently. I wanted to use gulf powertrac synthetic.. it comes in 10w30 & 15w50..i dont want to use 10w30..so can i go for 15w50?

    which clutch plates should i buy?
    i want to know the brand names of good clutch plate manufacturer.
    honda parts are unreasonably costly becas of various overheads. if i can know which manufacturer makes it for honda.. i can buy it from local autoparts supplier.
    I've used SKF plates on my Splendor Pro and they're really good. As good as OE one. You could ask if SKF makes one. I do not doubt Usha's reliability at the same time. I've used Bore Kit from USHA and it is damn reliable. If you can find Usha ones, go for it.

    sachin & minaki.. hope u guys r still here..
    iam planning to change clutch plates.. can anyone suggest which clutch plates will be best? will do it myself. will have to buy few tools.
    i stopped giving my bike to asc.. and now i even stopped going to mechanics. i do it myself now.. from valve clearance to oil change.. to fixing broken mud guards..
    the bike is old enough for me to take the risks.. and its not that hard as we think. infact iam doing it better than mechanics or asc guys.
    iam ysing gulf pride 20w40..change it after 1500 kms.
    also after changing clutch plates iam thinking of shifting to gulf protrac 15w50 fully synthetic.. will this be good?

    1.) Exhaust change (have 1 custom slip-on already)

    2.) Carb rejetting

    3.) Clutch overhaul (noobie so need help regarding this also)
    For changing exhaust i want a bend pipe. unable to source it as i have a free flow exhaust

    and some help on rejetting because without rejetting changing exhaust is a waste.

    any help peeps?

    Did you complete your Tacometer build.

    My Fuel gauge stopped working last week, good till it lasted 8 years xD

    I tried to fix it, but it now only shows same reading ,

    I am almost finished making a digital fuel gauge, will post the pictures soon.

    Check the speedometer gears by diassembling it.. they might have been jammed or broken. Try applying some grease on it. Might help or esle go to a meter repair shop if you dont wanna get your meter assembly replaced around 2k

    Get the cable checked. Usually it connects to the front wheel. If that's the case, replacement is cheap.

    Re: The Honda CB Twister

    Hello,
    I'm planning to buy a used bike and the twister is my prime choice. Can anyone tell me about the comfort level of the bike over broken roads? Is the suspension stiff or soft. Never ridden the bike till now.

    Please check MRF website for Tyre prices and don't overpay. The price on their website is including of GST and levies.
    The factory fitted TVS Tyres have some of the poorest grips I've faced from Honda. Previous Twister owner here. Currently having a Splendor Pro. I had changed my Twister Tyres from TVS to Apollo. Those have even more solid grip. The Apollo F1 makes a great front tyre. Grips the roads like a hand digging or clawing it's way into the road when you bike is at a halt.
