Activa - Less maintenance but low mileage scooter
Activa - Less maintenance but low mileage scooter
I am owning Honda Activa since October 2013.
I am mostly satisfied with its performance in terms of regular maintenance needed by it. With regular servicing at company's suggested duration, the scooter has not caused any trouble on day to day usage (even if its driving for hours in rain / hot summer / or chilling winter).
Talking about the pickup, I found the pickup to be reasonable.
Though I am a slow driver, but I found its balance to be reasonable at high speed. Tried driving few time at 60 kmpl and observed no issues but when I tried speed around 80 kmph then the scooter starts shaking.
Leg space for the driver is reasonable but the seat is little wide and this is sometime troublesome for riders (especially the eged one) when they that to ride cross-legged.
One problem which I I highly dislike in this scooter is considerable drop of mileage over the usage of 2 years. When I had purchased Activa, the initial mileage was around 40-45 kmpl but it has now dropped to 20-25 kmpl. I tried getting this fixed during last two services but I am still observing continuous drop in mileage and looks like the guys in Honda service center also does not have much clue on how to fix it.
Other problem that I see is with startup. It sometimes creates trouble during first start of the day and one need to kick multiple times to start it. Additionally, the position is kick is not very comfortable I ended hurting my legs few times.
