        For now, the CBR 250. If you can wait, the Kawasaki Ninja 300. The Ninja 300 is speculated to launch anytime between April and June this year. Walk into a dealership to know more.

        This sounds like worn out axle bushes. Simple test: Find a wide and empty road and turn the car on full steering lock at a moderate speed. Do this both ways. If there is a constant “tak-tak-tak” sound then your mechanic is correct.

        No sound i suppose … If in case .. Can welding be an alternative ?

        Nope they have to be replaces, bushes are usually made out of rubber and welding axles isn’t really a good idea :D

        Always try to adhere to the service manual. There is a chart which clearly specifies which area needs to be checked for certain kms of odo reading.

        The deal is really tempting. Heavier bikes depreciates at very high rate. Their high cost of ownership and problems in servicing and spares are some of the reasons behind this. Dont forget to check the police record of the bike. Have a safe Ride….. :)

        It sure is a very tempting deal but make sure all paperwork is in place and is absolutely clean. Claimed mileage is fair. But maintenance is going to be difficult and expensive

        Seems the gear oil seal is busted and gear oil is leaking. Do not drive the car unless its an absolute emergency. Have the leak looked into asap.

        Sorry…its not while shifting gears, its when i put 1st gear and accelerate at high rpm … And can that leak be ac water leak bcoz it seems water like and is not oily

        If its water, it can only be from 2 places: the radiator and its hoses, or the AC. If its the AC, water will drop every time you use it for some time and then park the car. You should not find water under your car when you drive off in the morning.

        Nick Shah 3 months, 3 weeks ago

        Yes exactly ! Today i drove without AC there was no water dipping after drive…thanks! Is it a matter of concern ? And is that sound because of car been not serviced ? Or bcoz of dust in oil /filter ? Car has been already driven 8000-9000 kms after last service

      • Profile picture of %s
         
        Shreyans Jain 3 months, 3 weeks ago

        Water dripping from the AC after use is perfectly normal. We had an Indica DLS a few years back and we always changed the oils and filters every 5-6000km. Get the service done and see if the problem persists.

        Writing own name in the no. plate in big font is illegal. However if the font size is small and is located in side area than it doesnt makes any difference.

        I guess you have seen that in Channel V’s program ‘The Serial’
        many of my friends are also fond of name written on high security (utsav) number plates, its simply illegal..
        You may do it but we wont recommend it..

        Boss this should not happen. You car is well run in now. There are plenty of Sunny owners here and all of them report excellent efficiency. You checked the air pressure of the tires or tried shifting fuel stations? If things are right at your end and you’r confident you are driving well, you should have the car checked at another Nissan…[Read more]

        16.1 km/l instead of 17 km/l is hardly a variation if there is a change in variables like tyre pressure, how far the air filter is clogged and where you have filled up your diesel from.

        On last check up from nissan there was no problem in air filter…tyre pressure should be okay …today i drove in morning near about 70kms with speed varying from 60-140km i suppose …having no traffic ofcourse…I should now mail Nissan for sure…thanks

        Just hold on. If you are driving at speeds of around 120 and thereabouts on the expressway, then 17kmpl seems pretty fair. Amin, you get 20kmpl if you drive at 80-100, not more.

        Any variation of less than 10% (which is you case) is not alarming. With good driving techniques you can improve fuel efficiency before hitting the panic button for a 1 km/l efficiency drop.

        frequent use of clutch and accelerator in bumper to bumper city traffic is the main reason

        I also think there has been a lapse somewhere, perhaps in your calculation or perhaps at the fuel pump. You are getting very good figures on the highway and the car is known to give 17-18kmpl in city.
