Excellent video - its not about buying the bike - its about maintenance - I had the same Yamaha RX for almost 15 years and I took great pride in maintaining it - Hopefully, I will be able to maintain my CB 350 the same way, if not better !

Chain cleaning at home. Its amazing sir. In matter for 10-15 min, it became like a new chain with the synthetic lubing and simple kerosene. thanks for these updates in simplest of simplest ways so that anyone can do. Also re insiting on turning off the bike and doing it which shows the safety points which you always insist. Thanks again
Great way to clean the chain.. Even company people don't do such detailed cleaning. WD 40 is basically kerosene and does not damage O rings..I have been personally using wd40 without any issues. WD 40 is actually a good cleaner. It has been working for me..I am not saying people should start using without doing some research online. Also it would be good to clean front sproket as well.. Keep up the good work
Thanks and totally agree, no one can clean your chain better than yourself 😀 WD40 is 10 times more expensive than kerosene, so I prefer to use Kerosene in a spray bottle. On usage of WD40 I happened to read mixed reviews of using it on O ring chains, but Kerosene seemed most popular one, end of the day WD40 is an expensive kerosene 😀 Sprocket cleaning too early as the bike is brand new.
I hav tried everything for O Ring chain maintenance. Successful and most easiest way is to pour SAE 90 gear oil when ever you see the rings getting dry, the gunk will get thrown away while you ride if chains are wet. Downside, you get a dirty wheel, but jus wipe it down. I got 35k out of one set. I hav read several oem manuals recommending only one thing " keep rings always wet", they dont even say cleaning.
Hi sir. The only thing you do. Wash the chain with diesel that's all. Because wd40 has main ingredient is kerosene. And if kerosene is used you can clean with it ,dry the chain with cloth don't use your bike all night then lubricate with diesel. Again wipe the chain. Thanks
Use cardboard as a shield to prevent spray on the tyres and below. You should create a WhatsApp group for Bangalore cb350 owners. Can all go together once in a while for short trips.
Hi bro, i am again with a query :). can u please take a min and tell what all tools we need for DIY maintenance or what all uhave in ur tool box.? thanks
Nice video sir But in my hiness just got chain sprocket changed at Honda and god alone knows what they did my entire foot pegs are vibrating got it checked several times but they are unable to solve the problem Planning to sell of the bike It was such a smooth bike before the servicing,these guys at Honda are just not experienced,they spoil our vehicles
It's mostly due to the chain slack only, get it aligned properly and make sure it's not running too tight. Things should return back to normal after some bedding in of new chain sprocket set.
taken a test ride one should not compare this machine with any of Royal Enfield.... bullet that's altogether different machine only problem i found in Highness is while turning left/hand right the back side shoulder stretch a lot Will stick to my decision of selecting Bullet ES X 350 CC well a basic one which looks class & riding it
@@motovin77 the reason why I’m requesting you is I already have a jawa 42 and I’m just a weekend rider (breakfast rides etc). Meanwhile, I now have my eyes on the Honda Cb 350 after selling off my jawa 42 ...would it be wise to do this ??? Hence requesting your review 😃 Note : I owned a Triumph bonneville 2015 model which I sold off 2 years later due to back issues ...
Detailed yet simple! I have been making the mistake of cleaning my chain with diesel. But the last time I cleaned the chain was with Motul C1 cleaner. A question I have--can we use 90 or 140 grade gear oil for lubrication? Any advantages/disadvantages in using it?
90 grade oil is suitable just that it will keep drying up unlike the chain lube which sticks on longer and oil would spray on to the tyre and rims rack time you lube.
Thank you for making such helpful content, Vinay. Could you please tell me how to procure kerosene in B'luru. As far as I know, it's a controlled substance these days.
Hi sir, I'm planning to buy honda CB 350 but little bit of confused with the colour I mean which one will be the better choice metalic shine colour or Matt colour. Please make one video on this point. After watching your video I'll make my decision
Very useful video brother. I have a question: I am getting this handsome machine on Monday. Due to lack of showrooms, I have to get the delivered from a showroom that is nearly 400kms away. So, my question is can I drive the vehicle all the way home ? Or shall I prefer a parcel service for the same?. Let me know your suggestion. Note: I can very well go with the parcel service but, am very much worried about the service. They do say they are not responsible for anything happens to the vehicle let it be scratch or dent.
Fantastic job vinay, thanks for sharing, one question can we wash the bike after lube, i don't want the bike to be stinking kerosene. Also the cleaning liquid is just kerosene diluted with some other chemical and where can we buy kerosene from.
Yes you can wash the bike after lube but avoid high pressure jet directly to chain as it was get the lube off, I use pure kerosene only and you get it in small the me kirana store, 80/- litres and can last more than an year...vs the Motul or 3M or Wurth chain cleaner is 600/- for 400 ml and lasts 3-4 times...
Hi sir very useful video...yourself and Pradeep ji are doing great 👍... I am a proud owner of CB 350 :)... I got first service after completing 1000kms... after service I am feeling some tingling / high frequency effects in both foot pegs, gear lever and brake lever... Coimbatore bing wing guys were not able to solve it... now I lost the joy of smooth riding... what could have gone wrong in service... I suspect the chain alignment.. it will be great if you could share your opinion . Thank u 🙏
Hello Sir. I have done this chain cleaning with both Kerosene and Diesel at different times. But what I felt is chain is being get cleaned more effectively by Diesel than Kerosene. Could you please tell me one thing, whether I continue with Diesel or should I have to change to kerosene mandatorily. Here, another problem is, Kerosene is not easily available like Diesel outside, also we have to purchase Kerosene in black market. Please respond sir.
Hi Vinay After long time messaging you Hope you are doing good Wanted to ask you for our Honda Hness should we do 1) Teflon coating or Polish. 2) Ceramic coating From the above two to maintain the glow of the bike which is required? Can you give your opinion bhai
Nice to hear from you 👍 For day to day use regular use of 3M wax just works well, however if you use tank bag it's best to get 3M PPF provided your tank is a glossy finish.
I just bought this machine. I need a clarification Vinay brother. My shock absorber spring (left side to be precise) is a bit curved. By curved i mean it has a bend right in the middle. Is it still normal?. The cylinder doesn't come in contact with the springs but, i wonder if it is normal or not. Service guys say that it is normal unless and until i feel any different while riding or the cylinder touches the springs. Let me know your thoughts on this. Note: Right side everything is fine no bend nothing. But, overall very happy with this bike's performance.
Cant say without seeing it, however just compare it with another 2-3 bikes in the showroom or service center, if found abnormal, Honda should replace the defective part.
In the past when I used diesel I had my chain o rings tear off after few applications, since then switched to kerosene and didn't have issues after that, so I trust kerosene. This is my personal opinion 😃
Hello Vinay Hope you and family are doing good. You had send me one tube as anti-rust. Can you send it again. And also the method how to apply it. Thank you
@@drlaisangoi6820 Just apply with very lightly damp cloth and scrub in circular fashion, once dry, polish the surface with a microfiber cloth to get the shine.

The chain cleaning brush, is not so hard. If you put your finger into the brush, it doesn't hurt or cut your finger. how can the chain cleaning brush damage/cut the o rings..??
Excessive pressure wash not recommended for chain as O Rings could get damaged. If too dirty best to clean with kerosene of chain cleaner and then lube, else you can careful wipe with a cloth and apply chain lube or 90 grade oil.
For chrome parts pls use Autosol Polish and you will thank me later 😊 Chain rusting, should not happen if regularly cleaned and lubed, bit of surface level rust on sudes of chain will not cause issues. WD40 can damage the O Rings in the chain... So I avoid it.
@@motovin77 you got it right. The rusting is in the sides of the chain mainly due to less usage and Mumbai rains. I bought mannol , waiting for it. Will check the autosol polish as well. Thanks as always 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
I cant understand why chain covers are not installed on new bikes like the old one to avoid debris n sand/dust than worn the spocket teeth n chain joints to an xtend. Im using an Unicorn for 13yrs having stock chain cover. Only once i have replaced chain n sprocket set, never concerned about it at all. Whats the benefit of not having chain cover n do we get after market chain cover
Higher capacity bikes come with O Ring type chains to take the heavy torque and give a smooth ride, it's kept open for ease of regular maintenance which is needed for O Ring chains.
WD40 for chain is a debatable topic 😀 some recommend and some don't due to its contents, which might damage O Rings, also I would not recommend due to the cost, Kerosene is the best you can use and it's hardly 80/- a litre. After cleaning you can dry wipe and lube to keep rust away... This is needed every 800-1000 km or monthly
@@motovin77 hi vinay sir... i just noticed that one of my o rings on the chain just displaced from the surface... can it be replaced or is it ok since its single ring that came off?
WD 40 does not damage the O Rings, bro - check this extensive testing by MC Garage at this link.]: ua-cam.com/video/Fzyk4nq3ug0/v-deo.html However, I do agree that kerosine is probably best - just dont inhale it :) Also, once you're done cleaning the chain, please remember to clean the grease off your tyres as well.

Sir klmtr intervel for chain cleaning process?
I do it every 800 km, if dusty a bit earlier
one of my friends lost his two fingers while lubricating the chain because he turned on the ignition to ensure complete chain was lubricated properly.
So sorry to hear about his loss.
Can I use diesel, instead of kerosene, as getting kerosene is tough these days..please suggest..
I have not had great results with diesel, will recommend to go with chain cleaners from Motul,3M or Wurth if kerosene is not available.
@@motovin77 i was told to add a little bit of engine oil into diesel and then clean the chain...
@@motovin77 Benefit of kerosene or diesel is that you can apply it properly, as its too much cost effective..
@@vishalkap62 absolutely right
Hello bro mannol lube which you using is out of stock instead that in amazon mannol chain lube 8121 available can we use that?
Yes if it states to be used for O Ring Chains you can use it.
My height is 5'4.. will this bike be suitable for my height...?
Absolutely should be fine
@@motovin77 Thanks man ✌🏻😄
Hi, my question is, did the o-rings got replaced at the time of your first service??
No such o rings had to be replaced.
@@motovin77 hi vinay sir... i just noticed that one of my o rings on the chain just displaced from the surface... can it be replaced or is it ok since its single ring that came off?
WD 40 does not damage the O Rings, bro - check this extensive testing by MC Garage at this link.]: ua-cam.com/video/Fzyk4nq3ug0/v-deo.html
However, I do agree that kerosine is probably best - just dont inhale it :)
Also, once you're done cleaning the chain, please remember to clean the grease off your tyres as well.
