[Resolved]  Honda Shine — Problem of drive chain and sprockets of HONDA SHINE

I drove around 16, 000 KMs and suddenly i am feeling a sound coming from my bike when i am driving. I shifted it to the mechanic then he told it is the sprocket problem. he told along with that break shoe also need to be changed. He totally has given me a bill of 2000rs.Just 2 months before that I changed the Air filter and service which costed me around 1000rs.Seriously this bike started giving problems after using one year under free services. the maintenance costs are escalating and I am investing thousands of more bucks on this bike.

I am also using Honda shine byke from 2 years but my byke has long story of problem and defects from the day I purchased the byke.So I agree all the complaint coz I am facing the same.

I too agree with honda shine problems.. very heretic problem of chain spocrket. I changed 4 time's in 6 years. Which we cant see in any other bykes.. Its not a mileage byke nor comfort byke!!! Also its a heavy maintenance byke...

I think the above all forget abt indicator lights ha ha ha. how many time u purchase a new one it goes off..I almost changed around 14 finally left my byke with out it :-(

i have bought honda shine black in dec2012 fist 1 year no problem very smooth drive afterthat once i make it repair once in 3 months then only i can drive smooth one after other problem lighting coil, brkae liner and clutch problem faced. now this morning while going office chain broken while drive. i would request honda is branded motorcyle for a long period. kindly engineers look into these all problems and rectify at yr end while manufacturing or assembling. i hope take this as a positive and improve the quality to shine forever.
