Subject: facing technical problems with newly purchased cb hornet 160r
I purchased cb hornet 160r from abvr honda, cuddalore on 30th march 2017 (Rear drum type). I started hearing sounds from the rear suspension a week after the purchase was done, it was immediately reported to the local dealer and the bike stayed in service station for a day before it was delivered. But i sensed some sort of irregularity with its function. The rear wheel skids when rear brake is applied, the center stand hits the speed breaker sometimes. After a month period the sound again started repeating in the rear suspension again it was reported to service station and the bike stayed there for 3 more days. The service ttechnicians claimed they did all the repair work instructed by the honda company. Once again the same sound started appearing and the bike was once again sent to service station on 29/06/2017 the bike is there in the service station for past week. Now they claim they have done the work as instructed by honda company but they are not sure whether ar not the bike will repeat the same fault.
We are deeply disappointed with the dealer as well as the honda company as a brand new bike is giving so much of difficulty to us. Now all we want to know is
1. Will the honda company give surety that the problem wont repeat again?
2. It is clearly unsafe to be riding on a bike which skids when brake is applied
3. The service station claims a misplaced bearing was the reason to all of it. If it is so, did the company sell us a manufacturing defect? Is this the respect you give to your customers? Or is this the safety that you provide to your customers?
Clearly is this the way you respect the life of your customers, anything may happen while riding such bikes.
We never really got any authenticated details on the work done all these three times, all we get is bits and pieces of information.
If we have to take this bike i want surety from honda company that the problem wont repeat again or else we would want this bike replaced.

Complaint no 1-[protected]
We have received two complaint numbers so far. All we need is solution for the problem and not continuous complaint number pinged every hour. We are deeply saddened and frustrated with the service provided by the dealer as well as the company which has sold us a bike with so much of defect and has put the users life on line, once i skidded and fell on road just by applying brake from a speed of 50 kmph thankfully i was saved due to the helmet (And you claim the top speed to be 110kmph). I no longer feel safe with the bike and i have lost faith in the service done by the service station. I received a call from a dealer personnel clamming himself to be the chief mechanic, he says the problem will be rectified after repeated service, he says the problem could only be found out one after another (Seriously this is the approach of a roadside mechanic, and do you know that yamaha employs plc systems to find faults in fz models). Its really funny that a global company rectifies its problems in its vehicles this way. We really demand a solution that is suggested by the technical team of honda or we demand a replacement of bike. By the way we seriously question the job done by your qc wing.

The complaint of the cushion noise in my honda cb hornet (Tn-31-be-4582) which was purchased in cuddalore still continues to persist in my vehicle. The vehicle has gone to the service center for 4 times and the service center is incapable of rectifying the problem and i doubt honda (The international company) is also incapable of rectifying such silly manufacturing malfunction. The bike is still in the service center, we demand that the problem has to be rectified and also we need assurance from the technical team that the problem wont repeat again, iam not interested in travelling towards the service center every 3 weeks. At this rate the swing arm bearing would completely wear off. Or if you accept the honda and the abvr dealer are incapable of rectifying it we request a replacement of the vehicle
Honda 2 Wheelers India customer support has been notified about the posted complaint.
