Today i got call from atlas honda factory i had sent them message viva "feedback" tab at their site
i had requested them to change air filter of honda pridor from foam to maintenance free filter as
foam filter is big hassle to clean & none of your honda mechanic clean it the way it should be cleaned
and further i also had added my complain & frustration over atlas honda for not doing a single change
in pridor
Today while call i had this conversion with guy from atlas honda
he asked what complain do you have with foam filter in pridor i told
him its not easy to clean & none of your mechanic cleans it properly
they use dirty oil & cleans it with patrol which is not good for foam
and also told him most mechanics don't even use engine oil and if they
use they use dirty oil which is again harmful and they directly pour oil
on foam which sticks only at one place & which is not proper method
and also this chokes filter too which results in poor performance of bike
he listened and said in our new cd70 the foam filter we are using is costing over
80 rupees these days and if we use such type of filter in pridor it will cost alteast
150 or more than 150 rupees so foam filter are better as they are reusable
he said people will complain for expensive air filters if we use them even in CD people
complain for costy filter
In the end he said i will forward your suggestion with R&D Dept: and said thanks for calling & feedback
