Honda Pridor 100 Model 2013

[waleed80]

i know that i have to drive slow bro. i have a Honda city which i purchased zero meter lat year and i even drive that at max 65 km/hr within the city, tau bike tau definitely slow hee chalaanee hey na my only concern is the weight issue that i hope a combined weight of around 140 kgs is not too much that it shall damage the engine during running period (abroad it is known as break in period by the way)

by the way, what if i keep the bike start all night in my garage. wont it make the engine a lil smooth in earlier time frame

[waleed80]

and please recommend from which dealership in pindi shall i purchase the bike. i m going to do so today InshAllah. earlier i was planning to get it from CSD but they dont have any parkign space and all their bikes are standing under the sun since few months tau mera dil naheen kar raha wahaan say lenay ka

[amjad635]

no it shall not damage the engine few km's drive within city
combine 140kg is mashAllah quite healthy weight but its ok
just follow other precautions, from where to purchase
i think p.w members from rawalpindi can suggest you
i think hidalgo can suggest you good dealer
my advise is alteast don't purchase from that showroom
where you are saying bikes are contineously parked in open sun light \

by the way, what if i keep the bike start all night in my garage. wont it make the engine a lil smooth in earlier time frame

No No don't do that its not the way to complete running period
infact by this you will hurt your bikes engine
it is recommended not to drive new bike contineously for more than hour
after an hour a rest of atleast 10,15 minutes should be given to bike
as new bike gets hot quickly. You need to complete your bike running period
by driving it 1000km not by keeping it start in idle speed
This is Motorcycle engine not Generator engine

[waleed80]

lol yeah bro. thanks. i just talked to a colleague of mine and he said that 99 percent of the new bikes at the dealerships are tampered by the dealers themselves as they fix 2 number part in it and then sale the original part in black market. now that has scared me. i guess CSD will be the option left with me for the purchase

[amjad635]

no bro it does not like that just buy from known authorize honda dealer
you need to worry too much buying brand new bike specially Ahl honda bikes

[waleed80]

i m also getting a LITTTTTLLEEE confused whether to go for a plain CG 125 instead :S guidance guidance

[waleed80]

and is this changing of first engine oil after just 100 or 200 kilometers is advised by the company or your own personal opinion. what does the book say abt it

[amjad635]

company recommends first oil on 500km & 2nd on 1000km
but no one would recommend you to use first oil till 500km
showrooms owners & even honda official ustaad recommends to change
first oil immediately as soon as possible

comments please. i dont need a very powerful bike a i m not into speeds and racing. the only thing bothering me for Pridor is the complaints u guys have against its engine, whereas CG 125 has no such problems ever (fuel economy is not much concern for me)

[amjad635]

Honda CG125 is traditional motorcycle Yes no doubt on its engine & popularity
specially the Euro 2 version AHl have now removed minor errors which were
present in previous non euro 2 version CG. If i remember correctly
i think you were looking for bike with latest modern sporty style
there is nothing new in looks & style of Honda CG125
Deluxe & Pridor are modern attractive sporty looking bikes

my use is only secondary, just for office. i love pridor looks, no doubt, but a bike is no good if its engine is no good, right ? so the only query is that is Pridor's engine BAD or its just few minor adjustment issues which can abe addressed

[amjad635]

Yes there are minor problems in AHl 100cc such as people complain about
noisy timing chain & 2nd gear katak sound the most annoying looks to me 2nd gear waala
if you are double minded on pridor than should go for Honda CG125 nothing wrong in purchasing CG
baaqi its not like that 100cc is complete failure people have beeing using 100cc for years
& they are very satisfied with its performance honda mechanic here also says
same i ask him about reliability of this engine he said sir this is as reliable as other honda engines

Very right, this is as reliable as other honda engines.
Bro Waleed, i think it's the time to take step towards future of bikes and that now starts only from Pridor.
In my view, you should not think about any other bike as you have made a good research on Pridor
I hope you have a sufficient knowledge about it and if you talk to CG125 owners they have their own reservations too
and many people driving CG125 have now shifted on Pridor due to it's looks, consumption, road grip and durability.
Even bro if you know the tappet adjustment yourself then you have no need even to visit a mechanic for Pridor.
Actually it's a no extra cost bike while others have huge maintenance costs.

Yes it is good to change engine oil a little earlier than the company's recomendation of 500KMs mark but please note that changing it at 100 - 200 KMs would harm ur engine, not improve. U should not change it anytime before 300KMs. The thing is that as the new engine runs, it gets tiny metal shavings coming off the metal parts which must be drained or they will harm the engine, the new engine sheds these metal shavings during a max. of first 500KMs of ur bike's initial running.... So if u change oil at 100, u remove some of the shavings witht he oil? but what about the ones that are prodced during 100-500KMs span?

Hence what I will recomend is:
First oil change with a quality oil of recommended grade at 300KMs sharp
Second oil change at 1000KMs sharp (drain it before time too, there might be some shavings in it also)
normal oil changes after the running period is 1000KMs mark.

Its pretty common brand new bike comes with loose nuts
but this is something serious & it could have resulted in serious injury
today while cleaning my bike as i usually do at night
found out one of bolt which holds handle was completely loose
was almost completely out of socket later on further inspection
i found all four bolts which holds handle were quite loose not tight

As i have mentioned in my main post in "Cons In Pridor"
i always feel there is something wrong with handle
i have told this to honda mechanic & some other mechanics
honda mechanic had tightened the big bolt which is in handle &
had said to me everything is fine howcome he ignored these bolts
howcome all other mechanics also never try to tighten these bolts
I think it was because of this i felt & complained
there is something wrong with handle of pridor
Now i have tighten three bolts but one bolt is not sitting properly
inshAllah tomorrow will go to city & replace bolt & or get it corrected from mechanic
will ask him to check each & every bolt of bike
During every tuning i always say mechanic to tighten all frame bolts

I have already lost a silencer patti bolt this felt down during driving

This is really astonishing these companies are not keeping a single worker for inspection
who should inspects whole bike & check its all bolts when it is ready to be delivered to customer

[waleed80]

So finally bought the bike today. First impression is that the bike is very comfortable and very stable even on sharp turns. It's heavy and that is an advantage cause it makes it stable. Impressed by the engines power. It's much better than i expected. Overall a nice bike with good finish

[amjad635]

Many congrats Waleed great choice

yeah this 100cc has gotten some serious power
You will definitely enjoy driving Pridor & it is really pleasant driving Pridor

[Automotorsport_Lover]

That was a big hazard! ThankGod that u found out the loose bolts!! This wasn't expected from Honda! Get all of ur bolts tightened, seems like assembled by a worker with drug problems
