I purchased honda activa in feb 2014 and found its worst product ever in terms of accessories, rear wheel got punctured very frequently, with in one year I already made 15-20 punctures. I live in kandivali east Mumbai area where road condition are good and in each week I fill air but again on next Sunday I found 1-2 punctures.I think tyres which are of TVS brand are sub standard, its very frustrating and big mistake to choose honda activa product.
and worst thing is honda says we don’t guarantee tyres but if it got punctured 10-15 times in one year then surely some thing wrong in honda vehicle. earlier I used to have bajaj pulser and never had such issues.
Edit: Appending the part of complain to honda & Ventian honda(Dealer)
I wrote to honda about this on their website, they called once and close the ticket and forwarded request to mumbai dealer. mumbai dealer says after one year nothing can be done if you had come before 1 year then we would have replaced the tyre.I am shocked full year I did 4 service with you and each time ventian service boys told tyre don’t cover under warranty, they were more busy in selling different type of services.
After much discussion and forwarding images of punctured tyre(attached here) they told TVS dealer will replace the tyre only in your case as you have suffered a lot but to replace the type you have to go bhiwandi thane 30-40 km far from my area borivali(mumbai). now to go their either I have to drive activa on nation highway for 1-1.5 hr or go by bus/train with punctured tyre, both are not feasible option just for 1000 rs tyre no one take such risk/pain.
finally I fitted tube in tubeless tyre and every week I check for air pressure and didn’t have a single puncture in last 2-3 months.
My advice is if you have slimier situation just put tube in tubeless type instead of repairing tubeless tyre else you will damage your typre. a tubeless tyre can sustain only 5-6 punctures and also remember within one year of purchase you can replace officially.
