    I guess you guys did check out this link : Auto Expo 2010 : Honda CB Twister |Auto India, Car India.

    Honda showed up these Twister models during launch of the bike in India.
    Looks really cool.
    those who bought white twister if they replace their side cowl to red......then it will look similar to some extent to that one shown at auto expo!!

      They showed a petal disc as well unfourtunatley that was not the case when launched.. I still would have preffered to shell out 2k extra for a digital console upgrade. Sachin any luck on seat covers

      • ohk.. i think i messed up at the point where u said let the original settings be unchanged... i gave my bike to my mechanic for regular service and he opened the whole carb ...so its obvious he has not set it straight.anyway another mechanic told me no need to clean carb everytime u service in a new bike unless there are issues. anyway m still on the milage test as didnt get to ride much .had filled 1.3 litre fuel in the on mode,done 40 kms for now. seems like it will go more.. will post as soon as i hit reserve.

            • Horn Not Working...

              My horn doesnt work. The local mechanic says he'll have to remove the side fairing to fix horn. If he removes the fairing and works on the horn, will it void my warrenty??

                removing side flaring wont void warrenty on engine.but it can void electricals like battery if fitted with some aftermarket horns.if you fit everything back properly as it was before.....then they will not come to know.

                  • is it safe to drive the twister in heavy rain ?? coz today chennai rains really heavy .. and logging wayer everywhere.. ended drivin in really deep water... ok so i noticed steam .. like huge amount when i stopped.. is that ok ??? i hav never noticed ever?? also i felt the bike was strugglin a bit and i had to raise the throttle a bit more than usual ..

                    • Its safe as long as water level is well under the exhaust pipe. That steam you see is because water is coming in contact with hot exhaust pipe which has very long intake.i have not seen such long intake in other bikes. I am not sure if it will have effect.....but occasional contact is fine.just see that water does not go inside silencer.also due to lack of chain cover the oil on chain will get washed away & mud/dirt will stick to chain....so you need to take care of chain.

                        Don't worry man even in my area(Royapuram) there is lot of waterrrrr. My bike is almost swimming in the water.So that l not at all affect the bike untill the water goes inside the silencer.The streaming is a usual at all the bikes in rainy days.Ya as u said we have to give extra raise bcz the engine ll not get heat as required in normal acceleration so have to give more.As sachin said take care of chain.

                          what type horn you are going to use.Unless you change in to heavy horns like air horn it ll not affect the warranty.

                              also have notices a small hole under the exhaust pipe.. looks manufactured.. is that supposed to be there ?? as even if water level is below the exaust hole it will still seep in through that hole .

                                Yes,Its for draining the water entering the silencer.
