  • the head turner "BLACK PEARL"

    48 weeks ago


    P Danekar

    I bought this bike 5 years ago when I started earning. at that time it was a turner, I did daily commutes to the office and long trips on weekends. The riding posture of the bike is definitely great for the rider but the pillion may face some pain. I can take this bike anywhere without thinking twice. Now there are many memories I have with this machine. Me and my friend named it "BLACK PEARL". Apart from its front suspension and service center issue the bike is a must-have. I also met 2-3 minor accidents while riding but this is the machine you can trust while going for a ride again.

    Tips for other riders

    Regular Servicing: Follow the service schedule as mentioned in the owner's manual (Normally 4000KM or 6month whichever is earlier). Regular servicing ensures that your bike's engine and other components are in good condition. Check Tyre Pressure: Maintain the correct tyre pressure to ensure safety, better fuel efficiency, and longer tyre life. Check the pressure at least once a week. Oil Change: Change the engine oil and oil filter at the recommended intervals. Clean oil keeps the engine running smoothly and prolongs its life. Chain Maintenance: Keep the drive chain well-lubricated and tensioned as per the manual. A properly maintained chain ensures smooth power delivery and prevents wear. Brake Maintenance: Check the brake pads regularly for wear and replace them if necessary. Also, ensure that the brake fluid is at the correct level. Air Filter: Clean or replace the air filter as recommended. A clean air filter improves engine performance and fuel efficiency. Battery Maintenance: Keep the battery terminals clean and tight. Check the battery electrolyte level and top up with distilled water if required. Suspension Check: Inspect the suspension for leaks or damage. Ensure that the suspension is properly adjusted for a comfortable ride. Cleanliness: Keep your bike clean and free from dirt and grime. Regular cleaning not only keeps it looking good but also prevents corrosion. have a safe ride!!

  • Hornet with different Sting

    1 year ago


    Pavit

    The buying experience was okay
    The riding experience, with regards to ride, has been on the stiffer side with average damping from shocks. Handling is neutral-sticks to the line selected.
    The engine is phenomenal with regards to fuel efficiency if ridden between 40-55 kmph, returning 60 kmpl, which is its USP. Looks good and is okay with regards to acceleration, service, and maintenance is a typical Honda with very low operating costs. It's a decent commuter bike that can be taken on the highway for short distances.

    Om Dhotre

    The bike is good for touring purposes and for daily use. For Guys who like to travel at normal speeds around 90kmph, and filter traffic on a daily basis this bike is for them. And it's smooth, I have completed around 70,000 km till now, and it still gives mileage of 50kmpl. A few years ago companies didn't sell RSA because they knew that such bikes won't betray in between rides.

    Tips for other riders

    Regular Servicing: Follow the service schedule as mentioned in the owner's manual (Normally 4000KM or 6month whichever is earlier). Regular servicing ensures that your bike's engine and other components are in good condition. Check Tyre Pressure: Maintain the correct tyre pressure to ensure safety, better fuel efficiency, and longer tyre life. Check the pressure at least once a week. Oil Change: Change the engine oil and oil filter at the recommended intervals. Clean oil keeps the engine running smoothly and prolongs its life. Chain Maintenance: Keep the drive chain well-lubricated and tensioned as per the manual. A properly maintained chain ensures smooth power delivery and prevents wear. Brake Maintenance: Check the brake pads regularly for wear and replace them if necessary. Also, ensure that the brake fluid is at the correct level. Air Filter: Clean or replace the air filter as recommended. A clean air filter improves engine performance and fuel efficiency. Battery Maintenance: Keep the battery terminals clean and tight. Check the battery electrolyte level and top up with distilled water if required. Suspension Check: Inspect the suspension for leaks or damage. Ensure that the suspension is properly adjusted for a comfortable ride. Cleanliness: Keep your bike clean and free from dirt and grime. Regular cleaning not only keeps it looking good but also prevents corrosion. have a safe ride!!

  • Hornet with different Sting

    1 year ago


    Pavit

    The buying experience was okay
    The riding experience, with regards to ride, has been on the stiffer side with average damping from shocks. Handling is neutral-sticks to the line selected.
    The engine is phenomenal with regards to fuel efficiency if ridden between 40-55 kmph, returning 60 kmpl, which is its USP. Looks good and is okay with regards to acceleration, service, and maintenance is a typical Honda with very low operating costs. It's a decent commuter bike that can be taken on the highway for short distances.

    The bike is good for touring purposes and for daily use. For Guys who like to travel at normal speeds around 90kmph, and filter traffic on a daily basis this bike is for them. And it's smooth, I have completed around 70,000 km till now, and it still gives mileage of 50kmpl. A few years ago companies didn't sell RSA because they knew that such bikes won't betray in between rides.

  • the head turner "BLACK PEARL"

    48 weeks ago


    P Danekar

    I bought this bike 5 years ago when I started earning. at that time it was a turner, I did daily commutes to the office and long trips on weekends. The riding posture of the bike is definitely great for the rider but the pillion may face some pain. I can take this bike anywhere without thinking twice. Now there are many memories I have with this machine. Me and my friend named it "BLACK PEARL". Apart from its front suspension and service center issue the bike is a must-have. I also met 2-3 minor accidents while riding but this is the machine you can trust while going for a ride again.

    Me and my friend noticed that the front suspension is having oil leakage in most of the same bike, the experience at service centre is not great, also the tail teddy is hanging so need to give special attention to it
