Hey guys. I finished my 4th free service. Not satisfied with the ASC. It takes care of the major issues well. That makes me happy. But not the smaller things like vibrations, Mirror tightening, electricals. This bothers me. I think last time, they didn't even clean the chain. Should i go for the AMC? Or try the local mech?

I Think getting your bike serviced by a local mechanic is better. After my 4 free services il not give my bike to the asc. we cant even see what they do with our bikes!!. their job is not satisfactory.Comment

guys,I am thinking of getting the servicing done from a good Honda service center mechanic privately. the whole idea is to get the things done in front our own eyes and secondly you can learn by just looking at him doing the work.so next time you can DO IT YOURSELF.once you learn be your own mechanic and I can do the job much better then him.
this way you will require Honda ASC only for major work like engine decab etc where you need special tools.I am trying to be friendly with a mechanic who is working in Honda ASC will pay him good money initially and learn as much as possible.After all servicing a bike is not a Rocket Science and these mechanics are not even half educated as us.Last edited by sachin1111; 10-10-2011, 12:55 PM.

Checked the mileage today. ~70 kmpl on highway riding at a speed of ~60 kmphr. Sachin, your idea is good to watch and learn things from the mech. If you have a camera phone try to video record the procedures if possible. It will help later, if we miss/forget some small but important points.Love the ride, not the destination

Were you riding 150cc bikes before buying twister? Please dont expect that kind of performance form this poor baby. It's only a Passion/Splendor ++ (yes double plusOriginally posted by fybercyber View Post
). Till 60 my bike performs well. Above that its slow. It takes ages to reach 110kmphr. You need atleast a 1.5 kms empty stretch to reach 100+.
Love the ride, not the destination

Dunno , but I pretty happy all of last week because I genuinely believe I touched 70kmph on my splendor+ .. but now I'm doubting it againOriginally posted by fybercyber View Post . My mileage is now about 60kmpl , low gears in atrocious traffic and roads all day here . Be happy @ 80-90kmph on twister

Fyber, u need the highway for a speed in the range of 100kmph!Originally posted by fybercyber View Posttouched 85kmph in city...never had a chance to drive in highway I've done 0-110Kmph, clocked at close to 38 seconds. Though the road wasn't fully empty I don think i did justice To this though... I feel it can reach top speed faster...
