Re: The Honda CB Twister

Good to hear that it's going strong even after 10 years. Post a pic if you can.

Re: The Honda CB Twister


Bike is running good, only having brake issue.
I will check with local mechanic today and if possible also get the cost from service center.

Bike is 10 years old, twister 2010 model.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I repaired it from local mechanic today, air was stuck in the pipe and the brake pump was leaking.

Cost me Rs.470
Brake pump + brake oil + bleed valve + brake cleaning

Re: The Honda CB Twister

Get the caliper and MC checked as well for any air. How old is your bike? It would be a good idea to service everything if the bike is really that old.

Re: The Honda CB Twister

Hi guys i am having issue with disc brake, i changed the oil but it lost all the pressure. I watched videos on youtube but it did not help. Brake is still loose with no pressure.

I tried pumping the brake then releasing and tightening the bleed valve.

Any suggestions !

Re: The Honda CB Twister

Re: The Honda CB Twister

Dear Sir,
I am owning Honda CB Twister. I bought it preowned and initially I had some rear suspension problem, I changed new shock absorbers. Now again I getting stiff back problems and I need to reduce the height. As your advice earlier in this thread shall I change the suspensions to Bajaj Pulsar's gas suspension. Changing that will affect the bike performance and how about latest Platina Gas suspension because twister and platina has same weight. If you are from Chennai please share your contact number.
Thank you,
Siva Raman

Post some Picture of your ride. Good to see you taking care of the machine. These are Machines they run, they break down and get fixed not like us humans.

Re: The Honda CB Twister

Update: Vibrations has reduced a lot. This is a clear sign that clutch was slipping while driving. Expecting rise in milage. Gear shifts are super smooth & acceration has increased. Was driving at 40kmph..the engine rev is lower than before at same speed. Will update later.

have anyone of you done engine flush using diesel? i hav done it during last engine oil change.. 50% diesel 50% old oil and let the engine run for 2 mins.. hav u guys tried any other way?

Re: The Honda CB Twister

Get the SKF ones. You won't be disappointed. Also, why use 15w50? It's not like max ambient temperature anywhere in India reaches 15w50. Also, trust me Synthetic doesn't do much good in smaller capacity bikes like this. Either go for a mineral or semi synth if you want. FS is good as useless in small capacity engines.

Re: The Honda CB Twister

Can anyone help me with a highlift camshaft and a big bore kit for our twister?
