I have heard many exhaust sounds of CB350, but spellbound by the sound in this video starting at 2:07, just amazing. I listened to it more than few times!!
Very useful tip Vinay! When I see you and Pradeep on RUclips, am reminded of Adam Gilchrist and Mike Hussey! 2 outstanding cricketers who both made their international debut pretty late in their career. But once they burst into scene, there was no stopping them. Similarly, I wish both of you a roaring RUclips career! You have a lot of experience and legacy; please share it with the biking fraternity!
The best mileage on Hness appears to be achieved at speeds between 80 - 85 with traction control off using eco mode indicator light to regulate speed. Makes sense to use it for wet conditions mostly or gravelly roads. With this high speed engine, cruising at that speed appears to be optimal for best mileage performance.
Well illustrated! You have shown we can maintain the brakes in a smart way by using a product instead of removing the brake pads and cleaning them with emery paper. One point of debate here could be the affordability of the product vs the time taken to remove the pads and clean them
Can you please make a video of all the maintenance activities that any CB350 owner should perform weekly/monthly. Also how you clean the bike and all that stuff in one compiled video?
@@motovin77 Thank you sir. Look forward to it. I'm kind of really worried with the kind of muck, sand (pretty big particles) and dust the rear tyre deposits in plenty on the chain.
This brake cleaning process has always worked for me in terms of getting the *pads cleaned from inside* and the discs too off brake dust and grime. I will only remove the pads in case of caliper greasing or pad replacement.
I found them use less because it hardens the break pads and removes friction layer which forms on the rotor after u install new pads but its is useful if u disassemble the calipers to clean the pistons
Hey Vinay On your recommendation I had bought Proklear and I used it for the first time. It was really impressive and the bike looks brand new after using it. Thank you brother for your Proklear recommendation. Waiting for the video of bike cleaning 😊

Hey Vinay The Proklear product you have suggested, what should be the concentration of water and Proklear solution. Do we need to wash the bike with water first and then use Proklear? I have used Proklear 3 times now on my bike I think it's leaving some stains on the tank. I may be wrong or may be the proportion of water and Proklear liquid is not proper. Kindly advice how to use it Thank you
I use proklear on the tank and side covers mainly as a waterless wash solution in a spray dispenser (Dilution is 10 ml for a litre of water) spray and wipe off with a clean soft microfiber cloth
Hi There, I am hearing a squeaking sound splippery sound from my CB350. I went to show room multiple times. They scrubbed my pad and disc with a sandpaper. They are telling its due to dust going inside the brake pad. But issue is still pressisting. Got very much irritated in the new purchase itself

Hey can you pls help out I have a query that this bike has dual channel abs so does it have any issues like the jawa perak while repairing the puncture?
Haven't had a Punture yet and even if I do, I have installed formula x into tyres which will fix puntures without the need to removing the wheel, even if it's bigger Punture it can be fixed as these are tubeless tyres, coming to wheel removal it looks to be a very simple mechanism. I don't see any such issues.
Hi Vinay, I have an off-topic query. The Honda team seems to be very ignorant. Throughout the booking phase them seemed so eager and repsonded to all queries. As soon as I paid for the bike they have switched ways. The sales executive does not respond and the reception also doesn't pick up. Did you face any similar issues? Really questioning if it was worth going for Honda if this is the kinda of service they are going to provide.
I and my friend Pradeep also had exactly the same experience and I have more and more cb350 buyers reporting exactly same experience... I reported all this to Honda as well, hopefully they can have this addressed.
Hi Rewan, If you are buying the Honda CB 350 in Bangalore I would suggest to go with VFM motors they seem to be good in terms of customer service and responding to queries Unfortunately I booked my bike at Lavelle road showroom and realized later that they are least bothered about customer Tanveer Chandok is the owner for VFM motors in Bangalore very nice person and when I inquired about the bike he was constantly messaging via whatsApp on the status of bike and other details.

Sir my 2 day old Highness is getting heated with just 35-40 kms on the odo !!! Is it normal ?? If I ride for 2-3 kms (office to home) in very less traffic, by the time I reach home, the exhaust pipe from start to end is so heated, I can't put garage cover... A small patch of the garage cover already got burnt and stuck to the top end of the exhaust pipe 😭😭😭
It's a brand new engine and bike will definitely feel it's very hot, just ensure to give 15 min break after every 50 odd km of riding, never cover or wash the bike when hot, let it cool down. You can clean the burnt cover on the exhaust with petrol only when the bike is completely cold. Once you done with first service it will feel much more better...
Hello sir, did you notice any kind of rear brake noise? I have CB350RS, 1000kms done, there is a noise when I apply the brake during speed between 40 to 20kms. The service centre told it is due to dust in the brake shoe. After they clean, there will be no noise sometime (few hours), the same day itself the noise starts. They cleaned 2 times and in last they removed the whole part and cleaned, still the noise is there. They said it is due to the position of the brake shoe and exposure of brake pads. Is it true? did anyone experience this?
This is not supposed to be spayed on chain or any rubber parts, it will damage the O Rings if sprayed to chain, It is meant only for the disk and inner side of the brake pads, you need to spray carefully.

How's the braking power after using this. Does it reduce for a while
Not at all, it feels just like fully serviced brake assembly, spot on braking power with zero squeaks...
Can we use Wd40 instead of stp?
WD40 not suitable for use on brakes.
Never use wd40 or similar sprays on rotor, brakes will not work for more than two weeks as before
Can we put a 150 section tyre on rear or will it mess with the CG of bike
As a thumb rule you can go one size up safely.
