I have bought this bike in Oct 2014 because of its stylish look, smooth engine and its excellent sound. However within 4 to 5 months the engine started producing weird noise when heated and then stopped working after overheated.
I had made complaint to Honda customer support and they asked me to show in nearest showroom(Panvel). After analyzing the problem the mechanics come to the conclusion that there is sugar found in the oil and it prevents the oil supply to the engine.
They were saying that someone added sugar to the oil. The authorized service center had refused to provide service under warranty due to above reason and due to the reason that 2 servicing are not done in authorized service center.
I have paid around 12k to solve the Engine problem in the authorized service center.
However still the problem is not solved completely. Engine still producing weird noise when heated.My guess is that I have bought the faulty bike:) I don't think repairing current Engine even in authorized service center in India will help, Original is Original:)
I have bought this bike due to long running Engine, and Disappointed due to Engine Problem: P
Giving 2 star, due to reason that I might receive the faulty bike.
-18th May 2016:
I have again raised the complaint in Honda support and showed the problem in authorized service center in Kothrud Pune. Thankfully one of the senior technical guy came with me in hilly road to understand the problem. Once the engine got hot, it started generating noise(tik tik) in hill climb road.
After analyzing the noise he said that it is either Tappet set noise or chain tension problem. He confirmed that the noise is not coming from main engine.
To solve the issue he has adjusted the tappet setting. However he mentioned that the problem may occur in future and you need to adjust the Tappet setting. I have no choice other than trusting the reason he mentioned. I have not yet tested the bike in hill climb road after the tappet setting, will update once done.
After the technician inputs and some research on google I have conclude that there is no permanent solution to this problem.
The bike is excellent whenever there is no noise, I am updating the ratings.
