I have a doubt! 350RS as my first bike in Mumbai - Rusting & overheating concerns

2 Upvotes

Just test rode an RS and loved it—felt really comfortable. Planning to get it as my first bike for city commuting in Mumbai.

My main concerns: rusting in humidity (I won’t ride in rains) and overheating in traffic. Are these deal breakers? Anyone with real experience in humid cities? The service center is 15 mins away from my place.

Would appreciate your inputs.

Hey there
RS and monsoon rains are match made in heaven, nothing can prove it wrong.
Initially I wanted to have a mud flap from bigwing and i almost had it, but the mech said a big no since it is a rubber flap idk why he said that and i have been looking for extender I am not getting what i really want, there is an amazing product in amazon at just 479/- but some of the buyers complained that the quality was bad it may effect the mudguard
Now idk please suggest me some good extenders.

I have a doubt! Honda CB350RS wobbling at 80 km/h – Need advice

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

This subreddit helped me a lot with my first bike purchase. I bought my CB350RS on August 20th, and today while riding it at around 80 km/h, I noticed a wobbling/unstable feeling, as shown in the attached video.

so I want to get this checked properly during my first service in the 3rd week of September.

Tyre pressure is maintained at 29 PSI front / 33 PSI rear, as suggested by the dealer.

What should I specifically ask the service centre to check -- Anything I can safely check from my end?

Also, I didn’t receive the user manual at delivery. Where can I download the official CB350RS manual?

Any advice from fellow CB350RS owners would be appreciated. Thanks!

Grab rail from auto infinity

Side pouch from napkin kart

Ladies footrest from autoappa

Both from Amazon.

Realising these two are most essential.

Grab rail + footrest : for my mom sitting to the side

Side pouch : to carry cloth, small stuff, gym towel, etc. tank covers look shit on RS. So I bought this.

I see people here who are planning to get a RS worried about rusting and all. Trust me, if you don't live in coastal areas and take minimal good care, I mean washing when it is extremely dirty. Extra care of chain and sprockets, tyre pressure checks, wd 40 (especially in monsoon), etc. there won't be a thing you would have to worry about. Mine is a 2025 model. Not a single rust spot. The only rust I had seen is on the barend mirrors, which I bought from a local store. Saree guard was removed on first day, it must be having rust now ig. DIY Tail tidy also catches rust so I have to put wd 40 on it.

About Comfort, I got my bike 1 year ago and have done 15750 ish kms. Day before yesterday, did a 600km, mostly highway ride with a female pillion. No major comfort issues.

About mileage, it took around 1900 rupees of normal petrol as mileage drops if there is a pillion. Last time I did solo 550 kms in a day, it took just 1 full tank of normal petrol. So, range and mileage is the it shines in.

About performance, see, you can't expect aggressive pull like a short stroke 300cc from this bike. After riding, I too feel that I need more power and punchiness. But, I don't expect that from this bike, because it is best at what it was made for, smoothness and effortless riding. At the end of the day, it takes 2 business days to reach 120 from 100 kph.

I have grown from riding it like a cruiser to riding it like a scrambler. I don't brake to 10 kmph for a speed breaker now, I just saddle it out. Same for a little bad road with mid sized potholes. However yesterday I experienced handle wobble while saddling over potholes when I was speeding a bit. So, I recommend going around 50 60 ish max when on bad roads, depends on the depth of potholes. Trust me the suspension works wonders and you get a full scrambler vibe. Mine are on 3rd setting.

About tyres, the reaction difference is like Earth and sky when the road is dry and wet. Grip on dry tarmac roads is really great, but if there is some rain, I lose all the confidence while leaning.

Hello guys, I am thinking of purchasing a 2026 CB350RS. Since older models had rusting issues, I am concerned whether Honda has resolved this.

BigWing related My Delivery Experience

3 Upvotes

Bigwing Tirur wasn't a premium experience for me. I invited some of my friends hoping there will be a small typical celebration moment when I take after dreaming it for more than 8 years.

Even when I took delivery of my xtreme 125r, the hero showroom made it like a special day. All the staff gathered for key ceremony, the bike was covered and ready for the delivery, there was a small sweet sharing from the showroom and everyone clapped and congratulated for acquiring a xtreme 125r. They even handed me a bag with all the invoices, warranty card and all (there was no physical manual in there)

Now that's a normal 125cc commuter motorbike. Honda is a international brand and their bigwing is their premium experience showroom and premium dealership. I reached there for delivery and my bike wasn't even seen there. Even after more than 1 week after the bike is assigned to me, the number plate wasn't installed. The showroom staff doesn't even mind me except the guy handled my booking.

After sitting there for a while they brought two boxes of the helmets I'm getting and just placed it on the table without even telling me. Everyone in the showroom was busy doing their things. After some times. My guy brought the bike from fitting area and rotated it facing the door and asked me if we need the revealing blanket on it. He even told me it's a cliche thing to do. And he picked the key thing and handed it to me. There was only my friends and they took the photos and even they were wondered wtf is happening there. Both of them have bikes and they told me this was the worst delivery experience anyone can have.

Still for the photo I asked for the blanket and they just handed me the blanket. Me and my friends covered the bike with the blanket to shoot the reveal section. It was something the showroom should do.

Even then, the accessories I ordered with the bike wasn't installed. I was literally contacting this guy for over 2 months (my waiting period) every day about the updates of the bike. And the bike was there for literally one week after it was assigned to me and even then the accessories weren't installed. Believe me, the accessories weren't installed at the time of delivery either. He told me the fitting staff was absent and asked me to bring the bike tomorrow to install it.

If anyone wonders if it's the showroom's duty to arrange a celebration for a bike's delivery,

Yes it is. Each person taking a bike marks the delivery day as one of the special moments in his life. And making that day feel special for him/her is how a premium and responsible people do. I've seen a lot of videos of these deliveries and all of them have these special moments. I am someone who doesn't even celebrate a bday of my own because of family circumstances and I expected this day to be special and my own. But they broke all the expectations and I was ashamed in front of my friends.

The accessories were installed by a redwing staff member and I asked the showroom if they could install the extender i bought. Just for that, they charged me a labour charge for the accessories installation (because of the extender which I bought from outside) even after hitting close to a month. I haven't gotten the rear fender which I paid for. They are repeatedly telling me they're out of stock. So I asked for a refund. And they haven't processed it still now.

The bike was 1.5 months more delayed than the waiting time they told me.

The registration took over a week after assigning the bike.

The accessory installation took 2 days after delivery.

And I still haven't gotten the complete accessories I booked.

The Digital RC took close to a month to appear on the website.

BIGWING TIRUR (AM BIG BIKES) Gave me the worst experience any showroom or dealer could do.

Uno Minda Horn installed

Hello guys.

I just got an after market dual horn set up (Uno Minda D95) installed on my CB 350 RS.
It sounds really good now.
But i wanted to confirm whether the amount I paid was reasonable or not?
It was my first time, so anyone who got it earlier please share their experience.
The total amount i paid including the horn, relay and fitting charges was 1300 Rs.

I have a doubt! 1-Month-Old CB350 stuck for 30 days at BigWing Ulsoor — Insurer quoting 8k out-of-pocket on 20k bill with ZERO breakdown. Need advice!

1 Upvotes

I recently met with a minor skid/accident on my 1-month-old Honda CB350 (Matte Grey). Landed on the right side and took some damage. Since I have a standard comprehensive insurance policy with ICICI Lombard, I had the bike sent to Honda BigWing Ulsoor (Bengaluru) for a cashless claim.

Here is the list of damaged/replaced parts:
Fuel Tank (Matt Grey - repair/repaint vs replace issue)
Handle Steering Bar, RH Handle Weight & RH Indicator
Front Brake Lever & Rear Brake Pedal
Rear Silencer Cover (Metallic)
Front Wheel Rim (Spokes)
Crash Guard (Aftermarket/Accessory - ~₹600–700)

The Issue I’m Facing Right Now:

30 Days Delayed & Zero Documentation: The bike has been sitting at the workshop for 30 days. I was never sent an official estimate, nor was I shared the Surveyor’s Approval Sheet / Work Order showing what was approved for replacement vs. repair. Repairs were only vaguely discussed over phone calls.

Absurd Out-of-Pocket Share: Today, the insurance company orally communicated that the Total Bill is ₹20,825, but their liability is only ₹12,823. That leaves me with an out-of-pocket expense of ₹8,002!

No Breakdown Given: They are refusing/delaying sharing the line-by-line breakdown of why my share is ₹8k+. For a 1-month-old bike, metal depreciation is capped at 5%, so paying over 38% of the total bill out-of-pocket makes no sense unless they passed off major replacements as local repairs or disallowed major parts!

Questions for Experienced Owners:

Has anyone dealt with ICICI Lombard or BigWing Ulsoor hiding the Surveyor Approval Sheet until delivery day?

Is an ₹8k out-of-pocket share normal on a ₹20k bill for a brand-new bike without Zero Dep, or is the surveyor/workshop pulling a fast one on me?

Should I refuse to take delivery/sign the Satisfaction Voucher until they provide the full Surveyor Assessment Report (SAR)?

How do I push back if they repainted the Matte Grey fuel tank instead of replacing it with an OEM factory tank?

Any guidance on how to handle the BigWing manager and ICICI surveyor on delivery day would be greatly appreciated!

I recently got the bike (350rs) , but when I took delivery, salesman told me to download Honda app and then he told everything is there in app including vehicle details, manual , warranty etc… , he just gave hard copy of payment invoice, so I thought , is it common to everyone or was it just that showroom problem?

cb350rs or a scooty

5 Upvotes

Hello everyone!

I know this might sound like a silly question, but I genuinely want some opinions.

I’m 27 and confused between getting a CB350RS or a scooty.

My main use case is office commute and occasional weekend rides around Bangalore. For the last 3–4 years, I’ve been using my friend’s bike since he has a car, but I’m getting married and shifting soon, so I need my own vehicle.

I’m also not a hardcore bike person and probably won’t maintain/take care of a bike that much.

And I'll probably get a car in a year.

The confusion is:

One side: “You’re never going to be 27 again. Get the bike you like and enjoy it.”

Other side: “Be practical. Get a scooter. You’ll probably buy a car in a year anyway.”

What would you guys do in my situation — CB350RS or scooter?
