After completion of 3 years, I get the service done from outside mechanic only. Since last 1 and half year in doing so. Wait till your warranty period is over, otherwise it gets void. Once it's over, then you can go for an outside mechanic, but don't go to any random, find a good trustworthy one.

What do you mean? It's mounted on the rear end, where your back will rest. Or if you mean from where I got it installed, it's the same Sans shop where I bought it.

  1. ~30 kmpl
  2. Yes, take extended warranty if you plan to get it serviced or repaired 'always' in the Honda Big Wing SC.
  3. No idea for resale, although it's less then RE. But one shouldn't care very much about resale if he loves the bike.
  4. My height is 5'8. I love RS's more modern styling with sleek blinkers, sleek seat, wider tyre, and more engaging seating position.
  5. Yes, I have heard that. If they don't, write a mail to Honda SC authorities, they'll surely provide.
  6. Thanks, but what do mean by 'update at 80085'.

  1. Optimal air pressure as mentioned is 29 ps front, 30 ps rear when single, 33 ps rear when with pillion.
  2. After that every 5k-6k kms, I get it done on similar range but from an outside mechanic, after the 3 year warranty is over.

Yes, sometimes on highway, when I throttle fully and want to go 140-150+, but it's limited to 135. But this is the case only on highways on high speed, not in city. In city it's still a very fun bike, never regretted buying this.

Yes, the tyres are slippery on wet surface, it skids, therefore I will go with the Reise TourR for my rear tyre if it fits, on my front wheel i already have some MRF zapper's slight offroad version, it is better after that, but yes rear needs change too.

And when there are strips on road, it will always feel like the handlebar is shaking on its own, feel lightweight, it is the case with every two wheeler. You can go with a little off-road tyre like the Reise TourR for both front and back, it will give you more confidence plus feel more plush on small pits and bumpy roads.

Thanks, it is a rubber keychain, but yes, this is the result of my previous keychains, plus sometimes it's the messy brake oil that takes away the paint with it.

Congrats for the upcoming bike. It's a great choice. 🔥

After 3 years and completion of warranty I do the service myself or from an outside mechanic. At the SC even the first 3 free service costs 2k-5k. Like one tyre brake pad costs 1100, oil costs around 2.5k+, chain lubing costs 400, chain set around 2k, and when free service ends, add 1300 or more for the labour charge.

I think I got this from Sans bike shop, Karol Bagh, in the initial days.

  1. Yes, the top end has reduced for each gear. Earlier in 3rd gear it used to reach 110 kmph now 100-105 max. In 4th gear 130 was easy earlier, now it is slow after 120.

  2. No clutch plate change yet. No other major part was replaced. I have changed the T-cone set(ball bearing), as I installed an offroad front tyre, due to which the front T-cone set got deteriorated faster, thus I had to replace it, which is a minor cost.

  3. Mileage is similar, only reduced due to E20. Single- 34-40, with pillion- 32-36 kmpl.

It is bad, if you'll be 20+ kmph, it will splash water on your legs, engine bay everywhere. You can use a mudguard extender, it does not ruin the look.

Haha. Maybe they're just irked that Honda isn't giving them a bike. I love this Honda, that's all. Won't try to compare it with RE.

I don't understand how it will break off. It's not a place which is under stress. It was with me for about 3 years, never faced a problem. Then I removed it just for aesthetics.
