Heyy guys I want to tell i booked my favorite bike CB350(H'ness). I still didn't believe that my first bike is CB350 bcoz from lat 10 years i have been riding Activa and this upgrade from Honda to Honda Big Wings is very big thing for me.I was very confused between meteor 350 and Cb350 But after doing test ride i decided to book cb350 and the main thing is that the big wings showroom is 150km away, that made me think twice before buying it,But anyways having the bike I love is much more than having some another bike.So let me know what to take care of my new bike its Siren blue Chrome edition and what mods i can do to it. Let me know.

CB350RS/GB350S

With the paint removed from the tank and the bad welds fixed. You can just see how well it fits the bike.

FYI-MY bike is 2.5 years old battery was replaced under warranty once it is approx 6months old I don't have an RSA right now.

Went for a100 km ride today battery was struggling a little will not lie as it powers maddod alpha and vaishnu headlights if I on off 3-4 times continuously it used to struggle or with all the lights on if bike stalls and turns off then it struggles to start the self but eventually does it with flickering of lights.

So back to the story went for the 100 km ride went really smoothly and you would assume the battery should be charged right there was no problem on the road on the way back went into a dhaba for lunch when I came back bike was giving no response at all initially i thought some wire may be loose or something opened the battery box tried shaking the wires and all nothing.

Was really confused in middle of highway what will I do with a 240kg bike(with accessories) thankfully a battery shop was there just outside the dhaba pushed the bike there and asked hime to check he measured the battery with multimeter said it is dead need to change it with a new one .

After thinking and although it had 48 month warranty i decided to change it and also gave the battery as replacement (100 rs cashback) total battery cost-Rs 1763. I decided if I buy new battery any ways old one is worthless and I will have no use of it I don't have any other big bike to fit it and it had only 1.5years left eventually new battery (amaron) gives 36 months so changed it did not want to get stuck again so got rid of it once and for all. Last time when the battery was changed same thing happened but thankfully i had RSA that time.

Corbin I ordered a week ago. Impressed and an improvement over the stock seat IMHO.

Finally got my Fireblade CBR1000RR-R SP home! First impressions after putting some km on it

What surprised me

Its really smooth. I'm coming from a Panigale V2 and expected something more edgy, but below 8k it's totally rideable, even in the city. The riding position isn't comfortable, but I'm used to it and it's not a bike for more than an hour or two in the saddle. Still, I expected it to be worse.

How much the bike changes from 7k up, sound included. It just keeps pulling, and you can be going stupid fast before you even notice. Plus that signature scream, which I never got on my Ducati.

The European version is different from the US one in the air intake, both the ram air and the throttle bodies. The EU bike makes about 27 more hp. Mine put down 212 PS at the rear wheel on the dyno.

Super easy to ride and quick to get used to. If you're really tall I don't think the Blade is for you, but for average or shorter riders it's a bike you can gel with easily.
The engine is a gem, from smooth to brutal acceleration. I like bikes with fairly long gearing where you can really stretch each gear.

What I didn't like
The exhaust barely makes any noise at idle. When you rev it you can tell the valve opens and it sounds amazing, but at low revs you hardly hear it. I've thought about swapping the exhaust, but I'd have to change the servo motors of the two electronic throttles, so it won't be that easy, and I'd lose the warranty.
Some components, like the cable clutch, feel below what I'd expect on a bike like this.

I need a second opinion before I tear it down again.

I rebuilt the top end on my

2003 Honda SH150 (KF04 Engine type).

It ran fine for about 110 km.

Then I found out it's making a thin white smoke in small bursts not all the time, and all the coolant hoses were swollen, the water pump to cylinder hose was the worst (it was also leaking). But still running just fine...

Important details:

I did NOT torque the head bolts. I tightened them by feel.

I have no thermostat, so it's an always-open loop and the fan runs constantly.

I ran plain water, no antifreeze. There's visible rust in the radiator neck.

I replaced the swollen hose and radiator cap over a week ago and the outside is dry now.

The coolant level still drops over days,

even when I don't ride it.

Cold engine, cap off: no geysering, and no bubbles when I fill 1L (More than it should before bleeding) and start it.

The level in the neck drops when I rev it.

Oil looks clean and not milky, as far as I can tell.

Smoke is thin and white. I haven't yet checked whether it clears when warm.

The uneven bolt tightening may have caused a head gasket failure or a warped head, and coolant may be slowly seeping into the cylinder. The lack of bubbles doesn't fit the classic combustion-gas-in-coolant pattern, though

Does this sound like a gasket or warped head, or could it be the coolant-passage O-rings or the water pump seal?

Or maybe I'm an idiot and it's just condensation

Anything else I should check before I pull the head?

Video attached. Thanks!

Yeah I did all the mods myself.

But I have questions. I learned today that the CBR1000 "hornet" has had engine recalls for excessive oil consumption. They assure me that wouldn't impact the CBR1000f. But from what I can tell they are very similar engines, if not almost identical. Typical of me to have buyers remorse and immediately find something to worry about, but....should I? Worry?

Where does everyone find their after market parts and also what is everyone using for security when making restaurant stops etc

Thanks! So fun riding this thing!
