Hero Honda Splendor Modifications !!

[Adeepak]

Whats the price of stock filter. Is modified filter harmful for bike engine. You have any review.

 

[Adeepak]

can any one tell me ...how is the old splendors exhaust is different from new one?
is old style exhaust helpful for bike performance

 

[RVSB]

New ones have added baffles/cores, has catalytic converter, the added baffle/core decreases the sound, the cat-con increases back pressure thereby increasing low-end torque.
The old ones have nice beat, revs faster, nice pickup but only by a margin.
That's all the differences.
The old style revs faster than the new one with cat-con thereby increasing acceleration.

 

[Adeepak]

RVSB thanks for your valuable information. Old one has nice beat, i am fan of that beat.
is old style exhaust available in market?
secondly, i am willing to replace my bike's current exhaust with old, please tell me whether it will improve pick up my bike,

 

[RVSB]

Yes, old one are available, it is around Rs. 900.
The bike will rev faster, so that acceleration maybe quick by a margin.

 

[Adeepak]

Thanks again
I have splendor + 2005 model [my first bike & i love it] it has silver color, but tank color is faded. is there any solution?

 

[RVSB]

Try using rubbing compound. Not sure whether it restores faded paint.
Also try some wax polishes like Formula 1, Waxpol Auto polish, Sonax, etc.

 

[Adeepak]

I have tried wax polish formula one but it not works.
what about sticker job? what type of sticker job can be done?

 

[Adeepak]

Modification of existing silencer is possible. How?

 

[Adeepak]

RVSB I have made two holes in silencer please tell me is it harmful for engine?

 

[RVSB]

It may not be harmful but the sound will become different and the new model silencer with holes will sound awkward.
I drilled totally 8 holes in my old type silencer and the beat has become thumpy.
I drilled the first core too!

don't use rubbing compound. it removed scratches by erasing small. layers of paint and could actually make more fading. rather try a fresh spray of paint or stickers.

 

[RVSB]

Good to see you here, Mr. Bhvm!
And I am going to put a conical free flow filter in my Splendor.
Already swapped the carburetor jets to that of Discover 135.

Will be changing my Headlight to round headlight (from CD-Dawn). The round headlights have superior beam spread than the flat rectangular ones.
And going in for a 60/50 HL Bulb for better visibility.

 

[Adeepak]

my mechanic told me to cut the silencer and clean it. is it good

 

[RVSB]

Dont do it, the sound will not be good, kinda ugly, pit pit pit pit.
