  • Gearbox issues in Honda shine bs6

    2 years ago


    Surya Teja

    Don't waste your hard earned money on this Honda shine bs6 bike. Because it has gearbox problems like if you down shift the bike it stucks and makes lot of noise. Bike pickup is average for 2 persons but single riding gives more pickup and performance. Mileage 45km/l in city, 50km/l on highways . Better to buy splendor plus for mileage or pulsar for performance.

  • less mileage and gear shift problems

    4 years ago


    M Chaitanya

    it has very less mileage,
    when I want to ride for 120km away from home and i started from source
    I fill a petrol for 300/-
    I was riding at 60km per hour
    after 100 km it stops by seeing it the petrol was over
    and gear shift is very struggle
    after completing 100 km the engine sound is very bad
    the engine sound will come like a old bike
    this bike is fit for only 50km.

  • Poor quality,performance,servi ce

    8 years ago


    Ambaji

    I purchase honda shine disc - in july-15.


    Firstly why i select shine - before purchasing i read many bad reviews regarding this bike.


    But few friends using shine since 4-5 years recommend.


    Now after using shine for almost 4 month, run 4000 km; i regret that it was wrong decision to buy shine. As i am facing many issues.


    Few parts was rusted on new bike(like bkts, bolts). When i complaint this to showroom they says, from honda they receive bike like this.(Some one can imagine my situation; i purchased new bike with rusted parts).


    The cold start - huge issue with this bike and no solution at service center; bajaj, hero and tvs bike are much better.


    Vibrates at above 50km/hr - engine also make noise, misfire.


    Gear sifting also not smooth and noisy - stuck between 3rd to 4th many time.


    Suspension is pathetic - this bike is not for long run.


    Mileage is around 55kmpl on highway.


    My guess- reason for bad quality - honda is now using many localize parts, so not able to maintain quality as like few years back.


    Overall - don't buy honda shine. Search another better option.

  • Honda shine is worth the pay

    4 years ago


    Abhisek Rout

    Its been 7 months, i bought the motorcycle. Talking about the looks, i wouldn't call it attractive it's okay though. This bike isn't meant to be looks and performance. It is meant to be economic and it is. I get a mileage of around 55kmpl to 60kmpl. I ride for 60kms daily and never have had any serious issues other than flat tires. Gear shifting is so satisfying compared to hero glamour, cd deluxe, splendor etc. There are vibrations as you get around 80kmph and tops at 96kmph. Pros: mileage, cheap, less and inexpensive maintenance. Cons: indicator buzzer is annoyingly loud and i have no complaints with this after considering the price and after comparing it with motorcycles of the same price range.

  • Only for local journey, not comfortable for long journey

    3 years ago


    Ramakrishna Kandula

    Bike looking good. Pickup is good, Speedometer is not updated, footrest pedals are not good, and low speed it is OK but above 50km speed engine vibrating. The bike maximum speed was 40kms for a smooth journey. Gears are not shifting smoothly.
    When we riding this bike we think Top Gear is not done,
    Some important is required for this bike.

  • less mileage and gear shift problems

    4 years ago


    M Chaitanya

    it has very less mileage,
    when I want to ride for 120km away from home and i started from source
    I fill a petrol for 300/-
    I was riding at 60km per hour
    after 100 km it stops by seeing it the petrol was over
    and gear shift is very struggle
    after completing 100 km the engine sound is very bad
    the engine sound will come like a old bike
    this bike is fit for only 50km.

  • Poor quality,performance,servi ce

    8 years ago


    Ambaji

    I purchase honda shine disc - in july-15.


    Firstly why i select shine - before purchasing i read many bad reviews regarding this bike.


    But few friends using shine since 4-5 years recommend.


    Now after using shine for almost 4 month, run 4000 km; i regret that it was wrong decision to buy shine. As i am facing many issues.


    Few parts was rusted on new bike(like bkts, bolts). When i complaint this to showroom they says, from honda they receive bike like this.(Some one can imagine my situation; i purchased new bike with rusted parts).


    The cold start - huge issue with this bike and no solution at service center; bajaj, hero and tvs bike are much better.


    Vibrates at above 50km/hr - engine also make noise, misfire.


    Gear sifting also not smooth and noisy - stuck between 3rd to 4th many time.


    Suspension is pathetic - this bike is not for long run.


    Mileage is around 55kmpl on highway.


    My guess- reason for bad quality - honda is now using many localize parts, so not able to maintain quality as like few years back.


    Overall - don't buy honda shine. Search another better option.

  • Honda shine is worth the pay

    4 years ago


    Abhisek Rout

    Its been 7 months, i bought the motorcycle. Talking about the looks, i wouldn't call it attractive it's okay though. This bike isn't meant to be looks and performance. It is meant to be economic and it is. I get a mileage of around 55kmpl to 60kmpl. I ride for 60kms daily and never have had any serious issues other than flat tires. Gear shifting is so satisfying compared to hero glamour, cd deluxe, splendor etc. There are vibrations as you get around 80kmph and tops at 96kmph. Pros: mileage, cheap, less and inexpensive maintenance. Cons: indicator buzzer is annoyingly loud and i have no complaints with this after considering the price and after comparing it with motorcycles of the same price range.

    Ramakrishna Kandula

    Bike looking good. Pickup is good, Speedometer is not updated, footrest pedals are not good, and low speed it is OK but above 50km speed engine vibrating. The bike maximum speed was 40kms for a smooth journey. Gears are not shifting smoothly.
    When we riding this bike we think Top Gear is not done,
    Some important is required for this bike.

  • Gearbox issues in Honda shine bs6

    2 years ago


    Surya Teja

    Don't waste your hard earned money on this Honda shine bs6 bike. Because it has gearbox problems like if you down shift the bike it stucks and makes lot of noise. Bike pickup is average for 2 persons but single riding gives more pickup and performance. Mileage 45km/l in city, 50km/l on highways . Better to buy splendor plus for mileage or pulsar for performance.
