Ideal Gear Shifting Technique for CB350 | CB350 Gear Shifting 

Thank you, Sudesh Ji. It brings me immense joy to know that my content is helpful to viewers. There’s a special satisfaction when someone benefits from the video. I’m committed to creating genuine and truthful content. Thanks once again.

I think long gearing is the reason why mileage is good in comparison to others😅

@piyushahuja03, Piyush Ji, the RE Classic 350 also features a similar type of long gearing engine. Having ridden the RE Classic for over 1000 km, I've noticed that its 5th gear also underperforms below 60 km/h. However, the main difference in mileage can be attributed to the superior refinement of the engine and Honda's world-class technology, befitting its status as an age-old automobile company.

@@rideForFun66 acha one more thing that will this bike long gearing creates difficulty in traffic?

​@@rideForFun66 I am planning to buy used highness 2021 model 8.5 kms running should I buy it or not? as it is already 3 years old now

Abhinandan Sachin Bhau !! Indeed it's very smooth, powerful and fuel efficiency too. It's premium built motorcycle. The exhaust of highness is fantastic and at 80 kmph, it's like a music. To make your sitting position more comfortable, install carbon racing handlebar risers. Enjoy your Rides. All the Best. 👍

Thanks Girish ji. It's a matter of great pleasure for me when someone finds the content useful for them to make a particular decision. Please subscribe my channel for more informative videos.

Sanjay ji, 39-40 is also a good mileage. The speed limit shown by you for shifting gears is actually for ride with pillion itself. You can engage 4th gear below 50 with ease and if you engage 5th gear at 60 without going further, I'm sure you would get 2-4 km more mileage. I engage gears at minimum required throttle and that's why I have achieved 46 kmpl. I use of bike's weight and road conditions to maximize my mileage. How I do this, I have explained it in this video.

Thanks Aniket ji. Actually Maine bhi Highness lene se pehale uske tall gearing ke bare me suna tha. Lekin jab Maine khud chalaya to paya ki inki baat me kuchh khas dum nahi hai. Is wajah se kai log isme hi confused the ki Highness Lena chahiye ya nahi. Mujhe unka confusion door karna tha jo maine is video me kar Diya hai taki wo apna decision bana sake. Apko video achha laga iski mujhe bohot bohot khusi hai. Thanks once again for your support. Regards. Take care.

@@rideForFun66 iss type ka video RU-vid pr hiness cb350 ka first time hi aaya hai ye 3saal me gear ratio pr ...thank you

Ye bhi sahi hai.

Thank you, Rohit Ji, for your appreciation. I haven't encountered any issues with gear hardness so far. However, I do notice a 'khat' sound while shifting between 1st and 2nd gear, which I believe is normal since the bike is at low RPM. The higher gears shift very smoothly. If there are any unusual sounds, I would recommend getting them checked at the service center. During this monsoon, I experienced an issue with the handle of my H'ness, it was getting stuck and not moving smoothly sometimes. When I took it to the service center, he slightly loosened the bearing nut. However, this caused play in the handle shaft and cone. As a result, the handlebar's center shaft started shaking back and forth while applying front brake, which damaged the steel balls (chcharre) underneath. A local mechanic temporarily fixed the issue by applying grease and slightly tightening the bearing nut. Tomorrow, my 3rd free service is due, and I will get it fixed. Aside from this, my H'ness is as good as new, having clocked 10,500 km.

Congratulations Braj Kiran Ji for your new CB350. The first service of your bike will be done within one month or 1000 km whichever is earlier. I would request you to see this video in which I have explained how to ride new bike. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-NrFVSbqwcH4.htmlsi=-DoyPSoyZk5VHlUi The main points to be remembered are :- 1) When you cold start the bike in morning , let it idle at least for 2 minutes for proper circulation of oil in every part of engine. 2) Try to ride mostly in city so that you can use all the gears. Keep the speed minimum in every gear. Don't throttle hard. 3) Don't exceed 70 kmph till first service. 4) Don't ride in one gear continuously. Use gears frequently. Try to ride 800-1000 km before first service. Don't undertake long rides to complete 1000 km. Instead go for small rides everyday. I did the same thing for my first service. This is called engine break-in. 5) Don't apply breaks with too much force. Only rear break can't stop the bike in time, apply both the breaks. 6) Ride in 8 figure (like RTO Test) for 5-6 minutes to make the tyres rough so that bike don't slip on corners. 7) Install handlebar risers for comfortable riding. 8) Headlight is not good. Install good auxiliary lights for night riding. Fog light video is on my channel. 9) Install back rest of Honda. It enhances the look of bike and useful for pillion rider. If any doubt, I'm there to assist you. Congratulations again. All the best, Sir.

@@rideForFun66 Thank you so much sir 🙏🏼

Thanks Vineet Ji for your appreciation.

Thanks Mr Gomes for the appreciation. H'ness is a wonderful motorcycle and I'm sure you would love it's performance and exaust sound. Please install carbon racing handlebar risers for most comfortable riding. Wishing you all the best, Sir.

​@@rideForFun66Sir, i have also plan to buy, my height is 6ft do i need to raise the handle for better riding experience? What is your suggestion?

Riding higher gear in lower speed is also fine, just need to ensure that engine don't knock and run smoothly. I Ride in the city in this manner. I ensure that engine don't feel stressed as you mentioned. Every time I check my Trip A Avg which regularly shows it between 46-50 kmpl. I have already tested Trip A Avg as well as Real average with full tank. The difference in Trip A Avg and Real mileage is only 3-4 km. Means in actual, I get 43+ mileage regularly.

You are right brother,he will end up damaging crank bearing fast.Also low RPM continuously ,will generate deposits on piston and valves.

Sir, I agree with your perspective. However, the risk of crank bearing damage arises when a rider consistently pushes the engine in a knocking condition for several kilometers during each ride. When I recommend riding in a higher gear at a lowest speed, it doesn’t imply that the rider should avoid revving the engine altogether. Instead, the rider should maintain the necessary RPM to ensure smooth engine operation without reaching the knocking stage. However, thanks for pointing out the issue though.

Congratulations Kamal ji for your new Highness!! And thanks for appreciation. The mileage of your highness will definitely increase after 2nd service. If 1st service is yet to be done, I would suggest you to watch my video of engine break-in. Initial 1000 km running of engine is very very important to improve engine condition and the mileage. How to do that, I have explained it in this video. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-NrFVSbqwcH4.htmlsi=4D8YCRTzssISUrjh So many people don't know about this procedure. I am getting best mileage because I have done engine break-in as mentioned in the video. All the best Sir.

In city conditions it's normal to get 25-28 kmpl It will improve after 1st and 2nd service and If your riding style is high revving then this mileage is still very good. After 2nd service I'm getting 28.5 in high revving in city traffic and 32-35 on highway, still high speed riding. My gear changing method: 1st gear: 0-30 kph 2nd gear: 30-55 kph 3rd gear: 55-80 kph 4th gear: 80-100 kph 5th gear: 100+

@@peterdbzsworld6389 Sir, my Highness runs in 5th gear at 60 kmph very smoothy. I mostly apply 2nd at 20, 3rd at 35, 4th at 45 and 5th at 60. I cruse mostly around 80-85 kmph at easily get above 42 kmpl mileage in my 300 km ride every time. My farm house is at 300 km and I visit every month. I am surprised to hear that why do you engage 5th gear after 100+ when it smoothly functions after 60 ?

@@rideForFun66 Dear, I like quick acceleration which I can get in lower gears, more power & torque at lower gears, since Hness cb350 has very minimal vibrations, revving it hard feels awesome. If you like relaxed riding then your gear shifting method is very good. On the other hand I like to achieve faster speeds in lesser time so I revv it more. Hness cb350 is more capable than it looks.

​@@rideForFun66 Sir m planning to buy CB350 DLX PRO Second Hand which ran only 3000kms But the issue is service centre is 200 kms away from my home My confusion is should I buy CB or Meteor350 as RE service is available

Many many Congratulations Sir on having new H'ness. Don't worry sir, my first vehicle was also a scooter, LML Vespa T5. Very soon you will get used to it. Now the bike is new. First service will be done within a month or 1000 km whichever is earlier. I would advise you to ride the bike in the city as much as possible to complete engine break-in process. Use all the gears. Don't try to complete 1000km in log stretched where only top gear is used. Avoid continuous ride in top gear, use all gears. That's why I recommend ride in city area only for best engine break-in process. You should ride at least 800 km before first service. Simply start the bike, let it idle for 2 minutes, engage 1st gear, and begin the ride. Shift to 2nd gear at around 30 kmph, 3rd at 45 kmph, 4th at 55 kmph, and 5th at above 65 kmph. As you gain confidence, you'll naturally start shifting at slightly lower speeds. Right now, your primary focus should be on the engine break-in process until the first service. This period is crucial for smoothing out the tiny rough spots on the cylinder, piston, gears, and other moving parts. These small particles will be captured by the oil, which will be replaced during your first service. When you approach an incline and your speed is at 60 kmph, quickly downshift to 4th gear. If your speed drops below 50 kmph, shift to 3rd gear; if it falls below 30 kmph, shift to 2nd gear; and if it goes below 20 kmph, engage 1st gear. For acceleration, follow this shifting pattern . The key is to shift to higher gears gradually while downshifting quickly. This should help you avoid any knocking issue. Lastly, keep in mind that eco mode is primarily for 5th gear, designed to help maintain a speed between 75-85 kmph for better fuel efficiency. However, you don’t need to worry about it right now. Focus on getting comfortable with the bike and the break-in process. Best of luck!

@@rideForFun66 Thank you so much sir for your detailed feedback.I really appreciate it. Since I am in Bangalore I am able to use all the gears. Just another question incase I don't complete 800 km before first service will that be a problem?

Ritik Bhai, lagbhag sabhi bikes me 1st gear dalte samay thoda jor se awaj hota hi hai. Kyoki, cold start karte samay engine ka rpm jyada hota hai aur bike static (khadi) position me hoti hai. Jab bike chalti halat me hoti hai, tab rear wheel ka gear (jis par chain chadhi hoti hai) wo bhi ghumata rehata hai, isliye running position me gear jyada awaj nahi karte.

Nikhil ji, 32 is also ok for your riding style. Actually, mileage totally depends upon the individual's riding style. Most of the riders prefer mileage over power due to the rising fuel price. If we want mileage, then we need to be very gentle on the throttle.

Yah, little lag will be there If we want to pull the bike in suddenly in 4th gear below 50. Downshift is must or pull it linearly. Actually this method is for city ride to obtain max fuel efficiency. As all of us know we don't ride below 80 on Highways.

Thanks Amit ji.

Rajesh ji, apko back aur neck pain ki jo samasya hai, aap pehale uska treatment kariye. Apke knee pain ka FZ ke sath koi connection nahi hai, it's a totally different issue. Aap ki age (Umar) kitani hai, apne batayi nahi. Back aur neck pain ke hisab se jaha tak mujhe lagta hai, Honda Highness ka suspension utna comfortable nahi hai.

Yes Ansh Bhai, it's same for CB RS also as it has same engine. The Honda has offered it with Toe shifter because foot pegs are placed few inches backward as compared to H'ness to achieve aggressive riding posture. Now about mileage. There are many factors affecting city mileage like low tire pressure, bad fuel, chain without lube, big rear Tyre etc. But main factor is your riding style and improper gear ratio. If you remain gentle on throttle and use gear as I have explained, I'm sure your mileage will definitely increase. To check this, see your "Trip A Avg" reading now, which must be around 30 kmpl. Now make it Zero, (need to zero 'Trip A' first for that). Adopt my riding method and see the difference in 10 km city ride. I'm sure you will be surprised !!

Yes Ronnie Ji, you may do so. But cold start is the time when maximum damage to the engine takes. It's always advisable to give couple of minutes for warming up the engine so that it acquires optimum operating temperature. Then hot oil gets circulated well and lubricates each and every part the engine. It would give you smooth ride and also enhance the engine life.

Thanks M'am !!

Ye bhi Sahi hai bhai ! Jab 350cc bike li hai to why to worry about mileage ? Lagao chabi aur bhagao bike !! 🤣🤣😂👍👍

Yes Subarna Ji, you can try if you have done at least 1000 km after 1st service. I hope you must have done at least 600-700 km in first service. Getting mileage of 35 in the city is not that bad before 2nd service. I'm sure it would increase after 5000 km. While Riding this way, maintain minimum RPM so that engine runs smoothly and don't reach at knocking stage. While increasing speed, increase speed linearly, don't pull accelerator. Fill only 5 Ltr petrol, never fill full tank. It would reduce 10 kg weight. Clear and lube chain at every 300 km. Maintain tyre pressure. All these small things help a lot in getting more mileage. I have achieved 45+ kmpl in 100 km at 70-80 speed. You will also get it if you ride like a gentleman. All the best Bro.

@@rideForFun66 thank you so much for your valuable feedback ❤️🤍

Shenoy Ji, I respect your opinion, but my comparison of the Unicorn and H'ness is based on my experience of 22-25 non-stop rides of 300 km each way from Mumbai to my farmhouse over the past two years. I had a Unicorn 160 before getting the H'ness. I noticed a similarity in the top gear of both bikes: it's not easy to accelerate in the top gear at minimum speed on either bike. In both cases, you need to downshift to 4th gear for sudden acceleration. That's why I mentioned that if someone has ridden a Unicorn, the H'ness will feel familiar. Of course, we can't directly compare the Unicorn 160 with the H'ness, as the former has a square engine of 162cc while the latter has a long-stroke engine of 348cc. Anyway, thanks for the appreciation.

@@rideForFun66 haa. Now I agree as u compared 160 n CB both have long gears. Bhai actually I have 2007 Repsol edition Unicorn 150. there is no comparison between Unicorn 150 gear box and CB gear box.

@@mukundshenoy3142 I appreciate Sir.

Yes, definitely. Bcoz RS and H'ness shares the same power train. And I'm sure you will see the difference in mileage.

@@rideForFun66 Thank you! Yes due to the wide rear tyre. I am thinking there will be a drop in mileage, is it correct?

Yah, due to the rear brod tyre, RS may not match the mileage of H'ness, but mileage of RS would definitely increase. If you want to test it, set your Trip A Avg meter to Zero and take a highway ride of 20-30 km at 75 speed. I guarantee you that you will see avg of 44-46 in your Trip A Avg meter which is equal to 40-42 of real mileage. But make sure you remain gentle on the throttle.

@@rideForFun66 Thank you for your quick response and tips.

Sir, H'ness CB350 gives 42 to 44 kmpl mileage at 70 to 75 speed on highways. But hum city me normally 50-60 speed par hi chal pate hai. If we keep the bike in higher gear with proper RPM and ensure engine doesn't come to a knocking state, then we can achieve mileage of around 38 in city as well.

Gokul ji, please explain to me what's rev maching? I have never heard about this. As far 35-39 avg is concerned, we may say it's good in city traffic but not on the highways. My H'ness has clocked 9100 km so far and gives mileage of 43-45 kmpl on the highway if I maintain 75-80 speed. If you follow my riding method, I'm sure you would aslo get 42+ mileage easily, it's not a big ask.

35-39 is good for a 350cc..just feel the engine and change the gears..i dont know how he is riding in 5th gear cause dats just there it does not pull its just for cruising at 80+ to avoid stress on the engine..just dont lugg the engine cause that is more bad

Sir, 44+ is a wonderful mileage by cb350. But why aren't you using 5th gear, Sir? If you use 5th at constant speed of 70. I'm sure your Trip-A Avg meter would show 47 kmpl. You won't believe but I have seen my Trip A showing 48 Avg at 70 speed and 43+ at 80-90 speed many times. As long as city mileage is concerned, if you follow my riding method, you would get 38 for sure. Actually we shouldn't mind city mileage becoz we travel short distances but cold start the bike several times. This consumes more fuel than highways run as we travel non stop and don't have to cold start bike so often. We need to know the difference between mileage and Average. Mileage is achieved in one stretch non stop travel, whereas average is of mix road condition rides in many stretches involving so many starts and stops.

My pleasure Sudesh ji. I hope this would help you ride highness in better way.

@@rideForFun66 I changed my driving style and seeing better average. I will improve more. My second free service is near. But still facing an issue while I drive at a speed of 50-60 in 5th gear. I feel Some periodic jerks and chuk chuk sound from the front chain sprocket. Those jerks are the same as driving slow on a high gear shift.

Thanks Amit ji.

Nikhil Bhau, You are correct. But I think we should wait for couple of minutes so that engine reaches at operating temperature. It's important in view of proper oil lubrication of all engine parts to minimise the friction effect. Our two minutes waiting in the cold start would result in long engine life and good mileage as well.

Can u pls explain what is difference?

Meet ji, is tarike se gear shifting apko 35 bhi avg nahi milega. Aap 25 par 2nd gear, 35 par 3rd, 50 par 4th aur 65 par 5th gear dalenge to apko Trip A Avg meter apko 44-46 avg show karega, jo 42 real mileage hoga. Heating issue sirf city traffic me hoga kyonki 350cc ka air cooled engine hai, highway par koi issue nahi hota. Wobbling high speed me suna tha, slow speed par 1st time suna maine. Agar pillion seat par 30-40 kg boja rakhenge to bhi handle wobble karega, lekin 50 kg ka aadmi baithne se nahi hota, practical karke dekna. Baki chije jo affect karti hai, wo front wheel ka alignment ma hona, balancing weight kar gir Jana, tyre ka manufacturing defect, dono mirror sahi se adjust na hona, bike ka crash noha, front wheel jor se gadde me girna, bearing worn out hona ye sab wobbling ke karan ho sakte hai. Isme tyre ka defective hona kabhi pakad me nahi ata hai, new tyre lena uska solution hai. Aap check karke dekhna.

@@rideForFun66 okay so is it safe to ride at lower speeds cause abhi mere bike k sirf 3780 km complete hue hai. Magar kuch log bolte hai ki required speed nahi or ap pehle hi shift karlo to milega to zyada milegi but engine long term ne kharab ho jayega. Wase I used to ride my previous Bajaj Avenger in the same way you showed in this video. Or kabhi kabhi 220 cruise me jaldi bhi kar dena padta tha, cause waha Vibrations bohot the. Yaha kisi bhi speed me Vibrations nahi hai. But I just want to ask ki, koi issue to nahi hoga if I ride in the same way you showed?

@@rideForFun66 right now I am getting 40.4 to 41.7 on highway as per Avg shown in the bike. But I have seen that my few frnds in Honda Grp are getting 45 constantly on Highways when we go for Breakfast ride.

@@meetbrahmbhatt8524 I agree with your concern. However, the risk of engine damage arises when a rider consistently pushes the engine in a knocking condition for several kilometers during each ride. When I recommend riding in a higher gear at a lowest speed, it doesn’t mean that the rider should avoid revving the engine totally. Instead, the rider should maintain the necessary RPM to ensure smooth engine operation without reaching the knocking stage. Then there is no risk of causing damage to the engine and this is applicable to every vehicle whether its a car of bike or even a big truck. So try to follow my method of gear shifting to achieve higher mileage in city. On highwys, if you maintain 70-75 speed, Hness gives 42-44 kmpl mileage very easily. You can take test drive of 25-30 km and check the mileage.

@@rideForFun66 Thank you so much really. Cause I was seriously in a search for this answer. I had a fear that what if I drive slow and I damage my engine. But thank you for your advice. Now I can ride freely. 👌👍

Bilkul sahi kaha aapne. Ye chije samay aur practice ke sath apne aap samajh me ane lagti hai. Par kuch log naye rider hote hai. Unko guidance ki jarurat hoti hai.

Dey Sahab, ye process sirf cold start karte vakt karna hai. Yane jab bhi aap bike nikalte hai, tab engine cold stage me hota hai, tab karna hai. Ek bar bike start ho kar engine heat hota hai, tab rpm normal rehata hai. Agar emergency hai to bike ko 1st gear me dal kar start karna, 30 second tak clutch hold karna, taki oil thoda heat hokar engine me circulate ho, fir chal dena.

Bhai ji, tall gearing iska reason nahi hai. Clutch lever ko agar pura dabakar gear shift Kiya to gear me loud noise hota hai. Sirf 1st gear dalne ke liye hi pura clutch dabana, baki gear shift karte time sirf half clutch dabakar gear dalna, gear awaj nahi karega. Bike me sleeper clutch assist hone ki vajah se thodasa clutch dabane se aaram se gear shift hota hai, pura dabane ki jarurat nahi padti. Ye karke dekhna aur mujhe batana.

Hello Rakshit ji !! I doubt anyone would take the initiative to translate this video in English for you, so let me do it for those who don't understand Hindi. In this video, I explain the optimal way to shift gears to achieve maximum mileage. When starting the Honda H'ness, it initially runs at a high RPM and takes 3 to 4 minutes to reach complete idle. Instead of waiting for it to idle completely, switch off the engine after a couple of minutes, engage 1st gear and start the ride straight way. Thus, you can save 80-100 ml of fuel at every cold start. This is first part of the video. The second part is about speed to gear ratio. After starting as described above, shift to 2nd gear between 25-30 km/h, 3rd gear between 35-40, 4th gear between 45-55 and 5th gear at 60-65 km/h. Always aim to ride at the lowest speed within each higher gear to ensure smooth engine operation without reaching the knocking stage. Thus, you can achieve mileage of 38-40 kmpl in the city if you maintain a gentle throttle. Some RU-vidrs suggests you can engage 4th gear only after 60-70 km/h and 5th gear after 80-90 km/h. One can do so but it's not the right way of shifting gears. I've practically shown that you can easily engage 3rd gear at 35 km/h, 4th gear at 45 km/h, and 5th gear at 60 km/h. It work perfectly without any issues. I've ridden my H'ness for over 9000 km using this method. When encountering slight slopes, shift to a higher gear. On flyovers, I engage 5th gear at even 45-50 km/h and release the throttle to coast, then downshift to 4th gear to increase speed gradually for to get max mileage. My bike's Trip A Average consistently shows 48-50 kmpl in the city, which is equivalent to 42 kmph of regular mileage, because I always try to engage 4th and 5th gears even in the city. When approaching a signal about 200 meters away, I shift to a higher gear, release the throttle to coast to the signal, and switch off the engine. Turn it back on just before the signal turns green, even if the wait is 30 seconds. In heavy traffic, quickly switch off the engine if a stalled; it takes only 2 seconds to restart. On highways, aim for a steady increase to 75-80 km/h rather than rushing to achieve 80 km/h, which can yield real-world mileage of 42-44 kmpl, showing an average of 46-48 kmpl on the Trip A Average meter. I've achieved 45 kmph mileage in a 100 km tank-to-tank test at 75-80 km/h speeds; you can watch the video of this on my channel. Maintain tire pressure, clean and lubricate the chain every 300 km for optimal performance. Ensure regular servicing for better mileage. Best of luck!

@rideForFun66 how thank you so much for ur time to translate the whole thing & appreciate ur work & I gonna subscribe ur channel right away & gonna do the same thing for my cb350 from now onwards 😍

Yes, you are right Suraj Bhau. Instead of stiffness, we may say that the suspension is slightly harder on the higher side due to the weight of the motorcycle. Agar ise thoda soft banaya hota to urgent front brake lagane ke waqt bike jhatkese ekdum age ki aur dub jati. Us jhatke ko slow karne ke liye heavy bikes ka suspension thoda hard hota hai.

@@rideForFun66 your most welcome 🤗 love from nanded 😄🙏

Ashwin ji, aap ne jaise bataya waise bhi dhakka dekar 1st gear dal sakte hai. Par 2 minute engine heat hona bhi jaruri hai taki oil heat hokar engine me proper circulate hokar lubricate kar sake. Otherwise hum bike ko sidhe l 1st gear dalkar bike switch on karke 2 second me bhi nikal sakte hai, par aisa karna engine ko damage karega aur environment ke bhi thik nahi hai. (Maine yaha fir se bike start karne se pehale ko gear me dalne ke baat ki, kyonki high RPM me gear dalne se jor se "khaattaak" ki awaj hogi). As per honda, the reason for High RPM at cold start is that the catalytic converter will filter the exhaust gases properly only when engine temperature reaches at optimal level so as to meet the BS6 norms. So let the engine aquire required temperature for 2 minute and then start the journey. Regards.

​@@rideForFun66 haa bhai sach kaha aapne, wo sub patha engine oil circulate hona etc, ye catalytic converter warm karne vaali baath abhi thal patha nahi tha, ye cold start ithna time isliye hi hai ab patha hai😌Thank you, mene bigwing valo se bi poocha or wo bhi yahi bhathaya Thank you for the reply❤️

@@ashwinks4122 You are most welcome Ashwin Bhai.

Ye bhi sahi hai !! Lekin akhir me hum sab Bharatiy Jo thahare ! Hum hawai jahaj bhi lenge, tab bhi uske average ke bare me. fikarmand to hote hi hai.

Haha that's right​@@rideForFun66

Sir, I will try to put English subtitles. But you have asked me in Hindi is also good.

Yes, Maje se !! 😅🤪 Sahi pakda hai aapne.

Bol nakte, ho sakta hai. Actually baat ye hai ki hum jab ride karte hai, tab hame dhire dhire andaja hone lagta hai ki bike konse gear me chal rahi hai. Gear ki problem jyada tar new riders ko hi hoti hai, wo bhi shuru shuru me. Baad me wo bhi farrate se chalane lagte hai. Video ka maksad sirf ye hai ki agar hum thodi si savdhani baratate hai to hume 350cc bike bhi accha avg de sakti hai. Mujhe 42-45 regularly milta hai.

Anurag ji, jab hum bike ko cold start karte hai, to woh ded 2 minute bahut high RPM par chalta hai, uske baad agle ded 2 minute RPM thoda low hai aur takriban 3-4 minute me RPM normal hota hai. Is process ko pura hone me hamara kafi petrol burn hota hai. Isliye jab gadi high RPM se thoda low RPM par aati hai, tab yane 1-ded minute me gadi thoda heat hone ke bad switch off karke 1st gear me dalna hai aur chal dena hai. Is se apko petrol bachega. Gadi switch off kiye bagair agar gear dalenge to RPM jyda hone se gear box se "khhataak" aisi jor se awaj hoti hai. Bus yeh kehana chahta hu video me. Aur Honda ko maine high RPM ka timing kum karne ke liye bola to unka kehna hai ki ye ECU ka setting hai, BS6 norms meet karne ke liye Kiya hai.

Thanks

Aisa bhi kar sakte hai, par aisa karna thik nahi. Kyonki, engine me oil achhe se circulate hone ke liye oil ka optimum temperature par aana jaruri hai. Tabhi high speed par oil circulate ho pata hai. Din ke 1st cold start ke samay hi engine damage hone ke chances hote hai. Us samay minimum 2 minutes bike idle par chhodna chahiye. This will safeguard the engine and give smooth rides as well.

Aisa meri sb3 motorcycle me bhi karna chahiye?

Yes Sir, aisa sabhi motorcles me karna chahiye jimsme oil padta hai. Agar electric bike ya scooter hai to aap sidhe start karke nikal sakte hai. Waise sir, sb3 motorcyle konsi hai, please batayen.

@@rideForFun66 sir mai unicorn chalata hi 2012 ki mai nai bike lena chah raha hu, bohot khush hu unicorn se bohot sasti hai ek tank me 600km chal jata hai pr roz 40 km city me chlne ke baad thoda discomfort lagta hai

Tall gearing ka matlab gadi ka ek gear se dusare gear mangne me jyada samay lena. Agar aap 100cc bike ka example le, to use hum 30-35 ke speed par hi top gear tak pahuncha dete hai. Unicorn ko mai 40 tak hi 5th gear me dal tea tha aur wo us speed me 5th gear me Bina jhatke mare maje se chalti thi. 350cc ki bikes me long stroke engine hone ki wajah se inme ek gear se dusare gear me Jane ke liye jyada speed ki jarurat hoti hai. Kyonki jitne time me unicorn ka piston 2 bar ghumta hai, utane time me 350cc bike ka piston sirf ek bar ghumta hai. Isliye 350cc ko top gear yane 5va dalne ke liye lagbhag 60 ke speed ki jarurat padti hai. Isme hua ye ki kuchh Yutubers batate the Highness ka 5va gear 80-90 ke baad hi Kam karta hai. Usi baat ko maine is video me bataya ki aap 55-60 speed par bhi 5th gear kis tarah laga sakte hai. Bus yehi story hai. I hope ki aap samajh gaye honge. Aisi aur jaankari ke liye mera channel subscribe kar ke rakhna.

@@rideForFun66 ji bilkul, shukriya 😀

You are right Bro. but this video was specially made on demand from my few subscribers who wanted to know the speed to gear ratio of Highness to achieve better mileage. They had requested me to make such video. I have also shown their names at beginning.

😂

then why u came here and watching his video. go and burn petrol 😂

Bhai, kya tum mujhe jante ho Jo direct tu tadakh se baat kar rahe ho? I am 58, how old are you? Fir bhi bata deta hu ki maine raste ki dhul se bachne ke liye mask aur rumal bandh rakha tha aur helmet ke under ka mic kafi sensitive hota hai Jo sans ki halki si awaj ko bhi record karta hai. Isliye mere breathing ki awaj aai rahi hai. Aur ha, mai power lifter to nahi, but in my 20s, I was a weight lifter for sure.

@@rideForFun66 ohh understood it was just late at night and i put my exact thoughts on comment 😅

Please let us know right method.
