Well I had clocked only 260 kms before my first service. I rode the bike almost everyday for short distances. I haven't started using it to go to college because of the rain. But I soon will. My college is like 15 kms away from my home and so I'll be clocking 30 kms everyday once I start using it to travel.

Got my second service done a couple of weeks back. Has clocked 2.9k kms. Didn't really feel like the service center guys did anything except wash the bike and give it back. Had complained about low mileage but that too seems only partially fixed. I was getting 53 before and am getting 58 after the second service. Apart from that, no complaints with the bike. The gear slippage issue seems to have rectified itself.

My mileage figires

hi !! I am new member of this site and i won CB Twister green.As for mileage figures i checked my mileage 3 times with 4 litres of petrol each time. my best fuel average has been 72km/lit with 25% city riding and rest on city outskirts.the worst figure has been 66km/lit. but to achieve this figure i paid complete attention during run-in period.my bike has clocked 1200km.i kept speed under 40kph during first 500 and after first service kept speed under 50kmph till date with just 2 bursts touching 60kmph. i think tyre pressure is among most important factor for good mileage.also make sure you dont put anything under the seat area near front right corner because there is a air suction hole present.and if that is plugged even partially it will cause improper combustion with loss of power and fuel efficiency.i have seen this problem with many putting their raincoats underseat area.

I dont know about run-in period because the first 500 km's I kept it below 60, because I mosty drive on the highways and driving below 40 on a highway without having somebody swearing at you for not driving fast enough is next to impossible. After that I have full unleached my bike, I go upto 60 with hesitation. Yes I surely do get a lower milage because I usually drive at 60-80 km/hr. I have clocked only 540 km's and have my second service in about a months time.

Welcome to XBHP bro. Have a pleasant stay.

Congratulations for your new bike. Ride Safe!!

About the under seat area, you are absolutely right. Many people put raincoats there, which is a very bad practice. The air suction hole you mentioned, are you talking about the intake valve?

**Sammythewizzy** · 09-14-2010, 05:29 PM

Did any of you guys change your tyre pressure after buying the bike? The manual recommends two different pressure readings for single rider and two rider (with pillion rider) situations.. (I'm confused as half the time I keep driving alone while during the other half, I keep giving lifts to people).. Also do you have to change the pressure for better mileage?

I think its not a air intake valve.that hole has a pipe going down probably to carburetor,OR may be this air is used for scavenging.

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.

hi!! I just did a mileage test covering 320KM on a smooth NH 17 highway today which included a "ghat". and guess what my mileage figures are? its 84km/liter.yes you read it right its 84 km/litre with single rider(my own weight 65kg).I still cannot believe this figure but iam dead sure iam absolutely right.I maintained maximum tyre recommended pressure given for dual rider and speed maintained between 40-50KM/hr.my dealer has checked this figure and has invited me to participate in mileage championship ride with other twister owners. I was getting 68-72 before that included city ride.my bike has clocked 1500km with second service done at just 1000km only.

OT:

You refreshed my memories of my 110cc Victor(which i still have). When it was a year old, i did a mileage testing run and got a phenomenal mileage of 81.5km/ltr(80% highway+20% city conditions) at speeds of 45-55km/hr. In city i used to get 67-68km/ltr in city riding conditions which also included fair amount of ripping at speeds of 80km/hr. The mileage figures i used to get in first 3 years of riding was simply brilliant for a bike which even breached the three-digit mark of top speed.

hi!!thanks for sharing your experience.just interested to know how much kilometers you did with victor for first 3 years? and how much was the drop in fuel efficiency there after?

I think i could has still stretch my fuel efficiency by another 4km+if there was no "ghat" on my route which was quite steep and had to shift to third gear while climbing.

When I ride my twister I mostly ride it on the highway staying on an almost constant speed of 70-80. I have finished my first servicing and am running at 750kms. I got an average of 56kmpl.... I think it could be improved a lot if I stop driving at such high speeds.

hi horror!!you have done just 750km and its not good for your bikes engine to run at 70-80KM at this stage.you should have been driving under 50.so keep patience till 2000km and until you do second service do not drive above 60.and you will be more than happy in long run.else your engine life will be reduced and run in all sorts of problems later stage.remember its just a 110cc engine.so dont stress it too much.for best mileage drive between 40-50km/hr &you should get 65-70km/lit.and after second service it will improve further.

**Horror** · 09-22-2010, 05:39 PM

Thanks for the tips sachin...

**Horror** · 09-23-2010, 06:53 PM

OMG something went wrong with my bike.... The horn does not seem to work at low speeds....Yesterday when I took out my bike after a day the light and horn weren't working. After riding for a few minutes the light suddenly turned on, but the horn works only when I'm driving at 40kmph or more... Does leaving the light on for a day drain out the battrey??? Dissapointed with this...It's been only 2 months and I'm already getting rusting and now the horn problem. Before this I had the spark plug problem where sometimes sparks would fly out of the sparkplug and electric start wouldn't work and the bike used to just die on me at low speeds, but that was rectified after removing the rubber on the spark plug and refitting it.(guess what,,just got the horn repaired for 20 rs...lol)
