      Yes.. Knocking on engine once in a while(blue moon) due to adulterated fuel in ok. But continously ?? Not good for engine... and the Buyer

      BTW which fuel are you using...I'm not sure.

      Trust me... Use extra premium...

      There are Super Bikers...

        He had been using Speed 97 earlier, but for the trip we took, he could'nt get the 97 octane fuel. So I guess he's using Xtra premium only.

        Bingo. The trip was fine, but now thats what is causing the knocking....

        @ Fireblah- hey, the same problem? When is your 1st service due anyways?
        You get the point?? :D

          Does the 'everything else' include speed, power or is it the normal unleaded fuel??

            The normal Speed and Power are also 91 octane fuels.

            • i dont understand the reason for honda keeping such difference in price for the blade in delhi and mumbai

              how silly!!!

              infact anyone aware of the delhi price
              will buy from delhi with a temporary number
              get it transported here
              and get a permanent number
              still he would save money..........
              Hope is a good thing ,
              may be the best of things and
              no good thing ever dies .

                Buddy the difference of prices in the two cities is because of different State taxes..!! You wouldnt gain anything until and unless you register ( not the temporary registration) the bike in Delhi itself...!!

                  Yes thats true... the base price of the bike would still be the same in both the cities.
                  All vehicles are more expensive in Mumbai than Delhi...

                      I guess, the owner , even if he purchases at Delhi, should re-register or atleast pay the road tax for the state in which he plans to live.

                      So , there isnt any difference as such. The road tax WILL make up for the difference!
