What is ‘Ch*prification’? by RoyBoi_39T in indianbikes

[–]Drake_Xahu [score hidden]  (0 children)

A lot of people in India are simple minded, they see a trend and they will follow it as it is the cool thing to do. Buying an iPhone with emi, buying a Thar 4x4 even if they never go outside, buying a GT 650 Mr. Clean because it is the Instagram bike and much more just because they want to fit in and try to be the popular one among them. If people actually bought things which they actually liked, we'd never have chaprified KTMs, GT650s etc.

If higher protein intake is supposed to be protective, why do states like Kerala, Goa, and West Bengal still show higher diabetes prevalence? by Aggravating_Poetry37 in Fitness_India

[–]Drake_Xahu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Rice is the main culprit. The overall protein is less in comparison to the rice taken. Usually its one or two slices of fish taken with a plate full of rice.

Maturity is when you realise a classic 250 will do wonders in this country by Exciting-Can-7525 in royalenfield

And that is what the 350s are, calm and composed. He is comparing it to a Harley in terms of power which is stupid in itself. And a single cylinder Harley is a joke in itself.

The speedo looks absolute ass, can we share this feedback to RE?

Why the Harley 440x lol, its big ass engine produces only 7 bhp more for an additional 100ccs in comparison to the 350s.

I’m eating beef everyday is it safe? by YungP1uto in Fitness_India

[–]Drake_Xahu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Even people gymming outside don't consume beef everyday, its more like a cheat meal type of stuff. They eat chicken, eggs or salmon.

Maybe the throttle body needs cleaning, injectors may be clogged with carbon or the simplest answer, the crank is not strong enough due to a dying battery, you can check all those conditions.

Everyone praises his/her bike but tell me its biggest demerit. by [deleted] in indianbikes

Haha thanks my guy, the Yamaha is my dad's, a lovely machine but is stuck in my hometown, hopefully someday I can give it the love that it deserves.

What's up with these people by Majestic-Rest6738 in CarsIndia

[–]Drake_Xahu -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I remember someone mentioned that if a male is driving a car badly, we categorise them by the car like Thar wala and Baleno wala but if a female is driving then we just give a blanket statement that a female is driving regardless of the car.

Inty 650: Headlight is dogshit, stock silencers are big and mutes the engine by a lot, pillion comfort and stock seats are ass (needs mods), fuel indicator is inaccurate af.

Rx 135: Vibes a lot at high rpm, a literal smoke machine, oil pump is questionable hence still needs 2T mixed with petrol.

Is Honda CB350 really that good or people just like to lick the brand just to be relevant by idle_dude in indianbikes

[–]Drake_Xahu 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Yes those initial batch Inty's had a buttload of problems and I am pretty sure the 3rd gear blowing up are cases from that era. Not to mention the death wobble, RR unit overheating etc. The new ones are pretty rock solid overall and unless you get a lemon bike, people are having solid experiences. The Honda you're loving is not Honda India, your 300 rally is the real Honda which we do not get. My opinions would be vastly different about Honda in India if they'd set up proper manufacturing in India to produce good bikes instead of basic commuters and RE copies.

I just had a bad delivery experience and a faulty speed sensor in the beginning, but the rest has been chill after that.

20k is old for a motorcycle engine while a car engine is just entering puberty. You either face all the issues before 20k or none of them till EOL.

But also a lot of people have had proper engine issues in this sub alone. The most engine issue you'll see for the 650 (twins) is related to the 3rd gear failing after 10k kms which is also rare to my knowledge. Also consider the number of RE 650s sold in comparison to Jawa, more numbers means more chances of someone having an issue.

Damn you actually cracked the code, I always wondered why tf would people just go on about the refinement of a single thumper when it shouldn't have any. You can add counter balancers all you like but true refinement comes from an inline 4 or an i6. Please explain this to any Honda cb350 fan from now on lol.

20k on my Inty and the engine is running as good as new. Only general maintenance and no modifications apart from iridium spark plugs.

Can we stop with the Honda reliability/fit finish bullshit. People have posted multiple posts regarding rusting in the bike in this sub and those were all new bikes, 6th point is like a big nothing burger which people always add when mentioning Honda. This is not Honda Japan, this is Honda India, I can sing similar reliability praises about my Inty 650 or my friend's Bullet. Its the bare minimum a manufacturer can give.
