Don't Think Hornet Spares That Difficult to Get.

Quite a few Common parts with S4 & other Hornets.

Uses the CBR600 Engine.

http://www.hondahornet.co.uk/images/hornetcol.gif

I don't really have a problem.

Many Honda Shops supplying them.

(Boon Siew Plus 4 Main Shops, Ever success, FJT...)

 

And if u want something they don't have...

They are most happy to order for u.

 

Me I Ride the Hornet 900... (could buy most things off the shop)

So Hornet 600 would be much easier 'cos Boon Siew brings them in.

 

Now If u Compare Fazer6 vs Hornet6...

Mmmm...

 

Both are Gd Bikes.

But Hornet Design does not age so much.

Kind of a timeless design. (bike u can keep for a long time)

Can't say the same for a 2 yr old fazer6... after the underseat

exhaust fazer appeared.

 

It is also very good for Low-Mid Torque.

A lot of Pwr from the Red Lights.

So, it is Great for City Riding.

 

& a Occasional Tour up North with a small screen.

 

Come Drop By for Kopi @ our next Hornet Meeting.

We can chat...

 

See & Feel... The HORNET

alrite.. thanks..

now i reli considerin a hornet..

oh..i've also read tat hornet mid range better than fazer. but fazer better in high end.. nut i tink in singp, we dun use tat much high end..

i've always lik the look of a hornet...

thanks guys.

 

does anibody knows how many models does hornet hav since it came ou tin 1998, if i'm not wrong..

 

lastly.. i lik the hornets spirits.. !!

I don't think you can compare fazer vs hornet and be fair to what is basically two different bikes with different riding styles. Based on my own personal experience (between hornet 900 and fazer 1000, dunno about the 600s...), the fazer is a better touring bike, for long distance trips. The half-fairing and tall wind-screen gives it a big plus for comfortable high-speed extended rides. The hornet's a town- and twisty- bike, better at low-mid-range torque, and it does corners a lot better. Had a recent cameron-highlands trip where we could play off both bikes, and the trip up was way more painful cos i was riding my hornet900, but once we got into the highlands twists-and-turns, the hornet was a beauty compared to the fazer1000. Build-quality wise, i get the feeling that Yamaha has better parts and finishing, but Honda's got that famous reliability and everywhere-also-got availability. In the end, it really depends on your riding style and what you're looking for in your ride. Just get whatever really catches your fancy, and then grow with your bike.

 

BTW: Alan, the friday trip is at 9.30 isit? my seminar over at 7.30, should be able to join you guys for makan!

[Wayang]

Fellow hornet riders, I'm riding a cb250f hornet n i got some qns i need to ask. I had been riding my bike for more then a year oredi n so far the only servicing i did was the regular engine oil, spark plug n oil filter changes.

 

1) How can i check if my carbs r runnin too rich or lean?

 

2) My tires have turned from a black when i 1st bought it.. to now a brownish hue.. do fellow hornet riders experience the same thing ? i'm still runnin on my original bridgestones bt50r n the threads r still quite deep.. sometimes i wonder if i am wearin out the tires at all.

 

3) Are the speedos on the 250 accurate ? wat haps if u compare the clocks on the 250 wif a 600 n a 900 ?

 

4) Some parts of my bike has started to oxidise, example bits of my engine, the connectin rod of my gear lever..etc. How do i remove all these ?

 

5) There is some oil residue in the small clear tube connected to my air filter, wat does tat indicate ? do i need to remove it ?

 

6) I find the procedure of removin my seat quite a hassle, unlike bike whose seats will unlock itself once the key is turned, my hornet's seat need to be nudged backwards b4 it can be removed. Am i the only one like this ? cos if it is then i really need to whack my bike dealer.

 

7) Appearance wise my onli complaint is the rear light.. how i wish it is like the new 900 n 600.. sleek n sharp.. is there any aftermarket undertray i can buy ?

 

Overall, i really love my bike to bits.. no other bikes can compare.. HORNET RULEZZZZ !!

 

 

Lastly a big thanks to all hornet riders who contributes.. no matter how big or small

Welcome to the club:) You wanna come for the makan trip on Friday nite?

 

 

1. Too rich will eat alot petrol, Lean save petrol lo.... u see how much u travel on a fulltank.for Hornet600 mine is 16Litres ( 15plus litres only ). Travel to ard 200-210km i will need to standby to pump petrol without hiting reserve tank ( ard 20-25km more ). If morning very difficult to start, the means the carb overflow when your bike is stationary. Got to do Servicing and tuning for the carb.

2. Answered by Spectrum

3. We try out on friday nite if you are coming.

4. You can removed it. the only thing you can do is the go for Sandblast or chrome plated . I will be going to do mine soon, as mine is the 98 model already gone case.

5. Those are overflow oil, dirty. Should removed it. Dont keep it there for long.Mostly it should be removed when cleaning or changing your air filter.

6. Mine also the same problem as yours. Should be the same. Unless for Alan theirs are the EFI model, maybe their seat better kekek.

7. Appearance there no way to make the taillight and board the same as the current new 600 and 900. Unless you willing to mod the whole assembly by getting a new original tail of 600, undertray compartment,taillight which will cost you to nearly 800-1k for it including spray paint. Not really worth it. Keep to you original looks.

 

 

If you want good appearanc, get a hugger for your rear wheel. and a front naked screen. and frame sliders. That should do the job.

[Wayang]

thanks motrax n spectrum for the invite.. but i have plans for the day.. i promise to come down one day to meet up wif u all.. wld love to discuss abt things related to riding n our machine.

 

i lifted this from 'how stuff work' webby abt carbs..

 

The goal of a carburetor is to mix just the right amount of gasoline with air so that the engine runs properly. If there is not enough fuel mixed with the air, the engine "runs lean" and either will not run or potentially damages the engine. If there is too much fuel mixed with the air, the engine "runs rich" and either will not run (it floods), runs very smoky, runs poorly (bogs down, stalls easily), or at the very least wastes fuel. The carb is in charge of getting the mixture just right.

 

i suspect my bike is runnin abit too rich as fuel economy is quite poor.. i can only get abt 250km before hitting the redzone on my fuel gauge. Anyway i noticed tat the new 600 has a fuel cork but the 250s doesnt.. dunno abt the 900s though.. my bike kakis told me the reason behind not needin a fuel cork is becos the 250s have a fuel gauge unlike older bikes which doesnt come wif one the rider wld not noe when his fuel is going to run out so the reserve tank comes into play. Lookin at the 600 really contradicts wat he said cos the 600s has a fuel gauge yet still has a fuel cork.

 

Anyway.. i noticed spectrum u r REALLY active in this thread.. providing lots of info n help in anyway u can.. kudos to u !! of cos i shldnt leave out motrax n the 'rest'.. hahaha

Good... Now we have a Few Hornets Going! on Fri.

 

Hope It Is Not The "Tua GU" @ 170kmh in Pitch Darkness Again.

R1szuan... Blackbird, Busa, ZX12R... Is It? :giddy:

 

Anyway, Other than Sports Bike...

130 - 150 kmh is a very nice speed to CRZ North.

Definately the Ideal Crz Spd For Hornets.

 

Will be Meeting Motrax @ Moto X.. Tg Katong.

Anybody wants to Come down to LC Food Centre for Coffee...

Msg Me!

 

 

Hope to see u at one of our Hornet Mtg Ravon...
