my friends recommended blue colour but i stuck to white and it looks smashing cause i know this bike cant handle projectors, so this is as good as it gets for me n m satisfied

gonna shift to blue soon

as for the price goes,
250 for the angel eyes
25 for switches n parts
250 for labour

ps: this procedure involves opening the headlight which is sealed with sealant from the company so get it done from a good mechanic ..because if the it cracks its going to set u back rs.650 for a new light original from company

Its looks cool, Who said it cant handle projector, I'm using HID past one month still the battery is good in condition.Now I'm hunting for a good projector from used cars.will update the pic after installing the projector

Yesterday i made some lighting mod myself on my twister. Parking lights & indicator , Under engine light, LED strip.
Except HID all lights are fixed by my self.
Console lights with white LED,
LED strip ll glow when the brake ll apply
The HID is white but on the pic its looks green due to low cam quality
When i put projector I'll also put Angel eyes

the thing is a friend of mine installed projector on his unicorn looked cool for the first day..but then the battery problems started...now his self never works...he always has to kick the bike.and is regretting spending so much money..so i assumed that wen unicorn being a superior bike cant handle it..twister wont be able to too

but anyway do let me know how it goes ...looking forward to it...

i shared the experience of my friend installing projector on his unicorn in the above post .to make it short.his battry couldnt handle it and his self didnt work after that ever. his battery dead every morning. so i am jus assuming twister wont be capable.but mayb thats just his bike.

Guys The choke isnt working in my twister . is anyone facing this problem??
Every morning il have to kick start the bike atleast 4-5 times to keep it running.if i use the choke the bike halts within 2 seconds!!

In my bike too there is similar problem with choke....since i bought the bike.But the kick starter works fine without use of choke.Actually when you pull choke lever out,i think too much of fuel is going in carburetor in relation to air..thus making the mixture too rich to burn and due to this there is a problem in starting engine.I suggest not to use choke.instead try this....when you park your bike,turn the fuel knob to OFF and when you want to start bike in morning...use the kick starter without turning the fuel knob ON....also do not use choke.once the bike starts using kick starter, slightly raise throttle and then turn the fuel knob to ON.Basically the idea behind this is to use the fuel present in the carburetor to start the engine without putting any extra fuel in carburetor by making use of choke or turning on the fuel supply via fuel knob.
If problem continues then check the spark plug i.e clean it of carbon deposits and check the gap....you can also try new spark if its over 5k old.
other reason could be that idle jet inside carburetor is partially choked due to bad fuel..for which carburetor cleaning is required.

How much fuel in fuel-line at Knob-OFF ??

How much would be there remaining (in ml) in the Fuel-line when we turn the fuel-knob into OFF position from ON ??

Hi Riders,

I booked cb twister, white last week.. I am novice to bike riding.. dont have much experience, as its my first bike.

1. I heard that Twister default rear tyre skids.. Am bit scared about it now. does anyone had a skid experience ?? coz of the thin rear tyre...

2. Thinking to replace the rear tyre with the MRF zapper 2.75" which is used for shine. If replace the tyre, will that affect the mileage and the warranty terms ???

3. Could i able to replace the half chain guard with the covered one ?? if its possible, where could i get it.. ??? In chennai ???

Ur valuable comments needed ...

Absolutely no skidding bro.. I have never skidded on my twister because of back tyre.. maintain it stock... I have ridden wettest of highways on my twister!! Guys BTW I am back today morning from a 3600km trip from Nagpur Maharastra to Thalaserry Kerala .... Too tired hence will post the report and expirence and details later

Ya you are correct by applying the Exact brake ratio the skid will be avoid but not on these tyre.In a hard braking condition these back tyre ll not at all help you.If u look at the back tyre of twister there is no thread in the center.That is the point which ll be in contact with the road all the times except corning.So we cant except grip from this tyre

But as you said, at least use the Stock tyre for 5k kms,Bcz we have also paid the money for that too

Rajselvam.. I dont agree to this.... Every bike is tested for safety before hitting roads.. Twister back tyre is a absolute beauty... Not having grip in center does not in any ways.. contribute to so called skidding I have driven on wettest of roads.. gravel and what not with out any skidding it's basically the skill of the rider than the technicalities of the tyre that matters

I had a vacation of 10 days recently and after I was back my bike started in one kick with choke on That's HONDA... never had a problem starting the bike now even during winter (Nagpur winter temp falls 6 degrees)

anybody ???

**sachin1111** · 11-18-2011, 12:53 AM

not sure,but when fuel cock is turned OFF,bike is able to covers a distance of approximately 300-400 meters.if you calculate the volume of fuel in carburetor + fuel pipe volume then i can only guess...to about 50-100ml.
By the way why you need to know this?

....checking mileage?
