No fish tailing in tarred surface. I need to check it on mud and sand. I have read it somewhere in the forum that Zapper C doesn't have grip in wet surface Where as zapper vyde is good for wet surface. But vyde was not available in that shop. And I reached the shop with a puncture and the tyre was fully deflated. So it was inconvenient to search for other shop.
    Another thing is that the chain is making a clunking sound. Need to change chain and sprocket. It's now 21500+ in the odo. Everything else is going perfect.
    Rix, post some pics of new tyre if you can.....i think its tubeless one right?

      This Saturday, would go to SVC from where I bought my bike. Shall spend the entire day, on solving this prob.

      New few advices from xBhpians:

      1. Can I enter the bay area, where the bikes are serviced, when my bike is being serviced and watch the entire thing? Mine will be paid, so, will I be allowed inside the bay area?

      2. Can I threaten them ,to raise my concern to higher authority? If yes, please give me the details of Honda's higher authority at Gurgaon. Rameshap, can you please provide the details.

      3. Any other suggestions are welcome.

      TIA.
      Ronits I thought changing to top gear at 40-45 had solved your issue!!! Of course even for a free service you can enter the service bay I always stay in service bay and mine is free servive my ASC is excellent well trained mechs . Tajshree Honda Nagpur tops As one of the best ASC's in Honda charts

      you can try using new spark plug......it will not go in waste because you can always use it later once your stock plug erodes.Make sure its NGK with same model number given in user manual. you need not threaten them..just directly file a complain on Honda website.remember that the copy of your complaint is forwarded to service center...so dont write any personal remarks against the manager who will receive your complaint.{in my complaint I had described ASC manager at my place as an Asshole}
      Ha Ha was it printed the same way in the copy?

        guys, i am heavy set as i've said earlier. these days i feel the pick up of the bike is dropping gradually. Especially when i shift from the third to the fourth gear the speed suddenly drops. Is it a problem i have to report or is it bcoz of my weight??
        Anybody having a problem with ur mileage???
        Mine is 5.5 months old and no problems at all super smooth mileage 69-71 kmpl in city and 80+ on highways,,, maintaince on time

          Thanks for your replies, i don't want to lose my bike stability.

          I too like Zapper C but when i compared the weights, the Michelin is less in weight compare to zapper C.
          my bike crossed 22k kms still with stock sprocket but one of friend bike got wearied in just 9k kms

            Guys,here is some news sightly off topic....but being a Honda fan i would like to share which i myself discovered today. about 3 months back Honda had announced that they have developed next generation new 125cc engine that is 25% more fuel efficient and more powerful then the present day engines such as those fitted on Shine and Stunner. Now Honda has announced a new scooter in Thailand market named click125i fitted with new engine it claims to have superb mileage of 91 kmpl . that's what looks like at the bottom of page on link below.I think it wont take long before we see similar scooter/bikes arrive in india.

                          That is a magneto cover gasket/packing.
                          It prevents engine oil from leaking out.

                            Did you open it yourself ? Is your bike under warranty ?

                                Immediately check it, is there any air leak better change to new one. in a tube tyre it's not a big issue but on tubeless it's a serious prob. Else it maybe go serious
