      My bike stays in the parking lot in a lot of sunlight and rain, How do I protect the bike from loosing it's colour and parts from rusting? Should I cover the bike? And what should I use to protect the bikes chain? Any chain spray's that you people are using???
      I would rather be riding my bike thinking of God, than sitting in the temple thinking of my bike.

        Check your manual. There is a limit of looseness of the chain. If its loose than specified value, please take it to SVC/Machanic to tighten it.

        You can use a cover that is made of Umbrella sheet. It will protect the bike from rain and sun. Better park it in a shade. You can use Motul Chain Spray. If its a O-ring chain you should never let it run dry and lubricate it every 500kms.

            The chain is supposed to be a bit loose. What kind of problem are you having due to the loose chain? The gearbox feels good to me with honda oil, but if you wanna still use castrol 4t then ask your dealer or service person if you can use it.

                Well my bike had no problems cruising at 50.. And at 60, there were slight vibrations.. Didnt push it further... But I think after the 1st service, it should be able to touch 80 (read it somewhere).. My first service is due in a week btw, and I've only managed to clock about 470Kms so far

                  I just finished my first service about a week ago or so. The bike touches 70-80 easily. That was on the highway, I had worn a helmet and couldn't check for wierd sounds but there were unnoticable vibrations,but very mild. According to me the bike can go upto 90.

                    What mileage are you getting after the first service?

                      Well... it looks like that the CB is no great on extracting mileage. I read a few pages of this thread and almost all of the owners are claiming mileage between 50-60kmpl. Now, if anyone ask me that's not a commendable even not appreciable for a 100cc motor. Something around 70kmpl, then it's worth a buy. No Kudos for Honda CB Twister.

                        And while overtaking heavy vehicles like truck does any one feel bad like the vehicle being dragged away(in most small bikes such things are felt and is it in cb too) riders who are very lean and Avg. weight do reply

                          Well trucks are usually on 60 or 70 kmphr speed and overtaking at that speed is a bit tidious for a 110cc engine, but in all my highway experiences(i.e almost everyday) I have never felt like being dragged behind. It might be because I only weigh 60 kilos and the bike can easily take my weight. I haven't properly calculated my milage but it's giving me around 60 after my first service. But I normally drive at 70 -80 km/hr speed and it's is supposed to burn fuel at that speed. I f you strictly stick below 60 then you might get really good milages.

                            The Twister is supposed to give 70 kmpl in ideal conditions!! So, in regular traffic conditions I'm sure it will give 60-65 very easily.. Most of us were reporting our mileages before the first service when any bike gives less than expected mileage... IMO its only after the first 2 servicings that you get proper mileage..

                            That being said, the Twister has got amazing pick-up... So you can't write it off so simply!

                              @Horror, how many Kms did you clock before your first service?

                              I've got my first service coming up in 4 days, and I've only managed to clock 520 Kms so far!
