    Instead of changing the parts they repaired it because the part was not available. They said the winding got burned. They winded it. This was their explanation.
    Love the ride, not the destination

      • Hi Guys,
        Please help me with this. Even after so many tweaks, in SVC, local workshops, the issue of my bike giving a sudden forward thrust still exists. This happens more when a pillon rider is there, and I twist the throttle, at regular intervals, say with a gap of 4-5secs, the bike gives a jerk. Does no one here face this issue ?
        Tried almost everything, which you guys suggested earlier like, cleaning carburetor jets, oil pipe, air filter, chain lubrication etc.
        Is this something due to chain slip?

          Ronits, does this happens when you reach certain speed and gear or it happens at any speed/gear? for now have a close look at chain sprocket.....i.e check if one or more tooth is broken while rest is ok.
          one more thing i want to know if this thrust happens when engine is relatively cold....ie when you just start your bike in morning or it happens even after it is warmed up?
          I am just trying to visualize the fault based on symptoms and your personal observation.

            Also there is some sound coming from the handle bar, maybe the cone set. Any one having same issues?
            For Horns...Roots is good.check the Horn specifications. For cone set better to check from local mechanic....so far no issues with me...though the front cowl gives a light rattling noise when passed over pothole.

              Hi,
              Basically, it happens on fourth gear at a speed of 40-45 kph.
              Is observed more, when there is a pillion rider and the bike is climbing uphill (though a very minor inclination).
              I will check for broken sprocket, but guess, this problem is irregular, often cannot be replicated. So, don't think there is a broken one.
              Happens even after engine has warmed up.
              Kindly confirm the scenario. TIA.

                    This is starnge and needs to be investigated throughly.. bike giving jerks Hmm check chain sprocket... Also gear teeth in gear box say only a couple of teeth of the fourth gear is worn out you will have this problem when these teeth come in during shifiting.. my views ideally this should not happen so early get the problem escalated to HONDA Hq in Gurgaon give them a option of owning this and or escalating it to corp HO Japan things will automatically fall in place

                      Have to check gear teeth. Will take my bike to ASC tomorrow.
                      Can you give some more hints regarding escalation to Gurgaon HQ. I mean , email details or phone number .

                        check the o-ring sealing near the carb,if its damaged the bike tends to jerk when throttled, had a similar issue some time back.
                        (but i had the issue in all the gears!)

                        would be really unlucky to find a defect in Honda's workmanship! coz they are always knows for their quality!

                          Chain slip would be accompanied by an unmistakable noise in that area . You don't mention it , so I guess there isn't any . Is the jerk accompanied by an sudden blip(raise) of rpm or the rpm kinda stalls momentarily ?

                            Ronits,sorry for late reply...i was busy with some work. so basically what you are saying is that this is not a regular phenomenon right?...i.e this sudden thrust does not happen every time you ride between 40-45kph. and secondly this never happens after crossing 40-45 kph till you reach top speed?do conform this if true. also how is the throttle response just before this problem occurs i.e is their any non-responsiveness of throttle at say 40kph for a moment i.e just before sudden thrust taking place? and at what speed do you normally change to fourth gear?

                              Ya i'm doing this all the day at evening with my friends.Specially we ll do this when girls paasing the bike.

                              He is not having the color but here some shops are selling the automobile paints with computer coding.So it's not difficult to get the color here.I've seen a pulsar & RX-135 with twister green.
