Recently I bought Honda - CB Shine from Mansarovar Velachery Chennai - 42 The gear-shaft transmission system is so defect that I could not ride the bike peacefully. I have explained the issue based on my engineering knowledge as below.
[ The same issue is being faced by moer thatn 10 friends having shine ]
Issue:
The gear got totally disengaged with shaft while on 2nd to 3rd or 3th to 4th gear vice versa. The cause could be a’least rpm value mismatch’ with respective gear. The result is very dangerous that speed got reduced and bike stops immediately with heavy noise and creating panic situation.
At Service Centre:
The above mentioned issue is reported to the service centre - Mansarovar Velachery Chennai, on I have explained the issue clearly, but the action/work taken by technician/service engineer are really disappointing.
Take1: The chain was made tight such that it would solve the problem. Believing them, I had taken test drive with service engineer along with me. The problem was not solved and I had demonstrated to the Service Engineer.
Take2: Service Engineer - Santhosh as a try of luck(!?), he had changed the swindle, suspecting the swindle could be defective. Again I had test drive with same service engineer and same problem re-occurred.
Take3: This time an expert technician( called so) had taken the bike and he had done some changes with clutch. Taken test drive with the technician and he guided me so strict that I should drive within rpm defined for each gear, not even more or less. And I could not demonstrate the issue to him
So trusting the job is done, taken the bike away to home. And from next day onwards the problem is re-occurring and occurring till now. It clearly shows none of the technician had not analyzed the cause and nothing resolved.
Summary: Gear shift is a big threat to life. better avoid buying SHINE Virbating like any thing above 50kmph
