The good thing is that, the cons are all cons are fixable, and it does not really major problems with the engine and transmission department. I hope this helps. Im a Hness owner too. Below are some of my suggestions: 1. Tall Gearing - Sprocket change (Optional) 2. Seat comfort - Seat cover with gel padding (Mandatory for long rides) 3.

Instead of seat change. Try using cycling shorts with padding with no inner wear and not wear jeans; wear jeans with no back pockets. Most of the sore points are due to creases of underwear and back pockets.
We have to accept cb350 lacks seat comfort by very huge margin . RE 350 are miles ahead in this department .100 cc bikes are best. When mfg pitches such products for comfort cruising then suspension and seating should be fine tunned on top priority. Actually these cannot deter purchasers for opting smooth engine and effortless cruising on long drives and nimbleness in traffic which Jinda has done at its best nothing comes close in this specs . Both suspension and seats can be changed , customised from third party which is OK considering no body can make engine smoothness and handling as per there needs .
That's a mighty good point.. my riding comfort became god like after using cycle riding inners.. adequate padding giving me that micro cushion comfort ..and for a guy like me whos on the bulkier side..this is a great mod .. I didn't even think about changing seats
Honda builds impressive engines. I’m glad your Honda service centre takes good care of you. I hope you manage to work out the small problems you’re experiencing - comfort is very important on long rides. Thanks for posting, and enjoy the ride!
Nice video, nice voice, great camera angle and good commentary. The wobbling is not due to anything in the fork, it's just the weight in the backseat luggage area. The front weight is getting lighter compared to the rear and so at certain speeds, it wobbles as it picks up a shake, something like harmonic resonance. If the rear luggage is heavy, make sure your tank is full or add a tank bag with a couple of water bottles or don't lean back too much, that's the cause of the wobble. Or lean forward as you approach 90-100 speeds
Your right but indeed cb350 has more weight in front when single rider drives . Heavy pillion and extra luggage can imbalance it .But it's difficult to drive bike above 100 kmph with so much extra weight any way
i have own the bike for more than 2 years now, i am from hilly area, so i change the sprocket and use honda CB500 rear sprocket (this changes everything in a good way), regarding the seat i also change the seat with the split from big wing itself. I hope it helps....
If you want to more seat comfort try the split seats, and you can adjust the rear suspension in 3rd rather factory setting at 2 or 1. However, dont set the suspension setting to directly 5 from 1 or 2, this will reduce the lifecycle of suspension. For RE you still face back issues after 100km. I have travellled 800km from bengaluru to rajahmundry in 12 hours, I will say after changing the setting of rear suspension, I felt back pain only after 300 km of ride. For more plush riding, you can get one riding cushioned seat which can removable after long rides.
@RAKAPRO : Can you please tell me onething. Can I cruise at 120kmph for long time on this bike?.. I want to do long trips 800bto 1000 kms in a day where I need to maintain 120kmph. I want to buy this bike but this is the only point still I'm in doubt. Every other videos say we can cruise at 90 to 100 is the sweet spot..nobody is telling 120. Please help me to know the truth
@@maverick2841 yes it is the truth. First we need to understand your engine irrespective of what manufacturer you take. Honda higness is an air cooled single cylinder bike with spec sheet says produces 30 nm max torque at 3300 rpm which is somewhat around mid range and loses any pull at top end. Being single cylinder thier max capacity to withstand heat and it is recommended to cruise at 90-100. Which gives u decent mileage and joy in cruising. Also because it is air cooled engine you need to take halt after 1 hour for me at 90-100 speed. At 120 if the tarmac is pretty flat and ambient temp not that high the engine temp will rise to exceeding levels. But dont worry honda have stress test this for a long time before putting in market. But if you want 120 cruising speed better go for twin cylinder bikes with liquid or oil cooled engine.
Bhai is there any wobbling in your bike as shown by many highness. Actually this bike is in my wishlist. Please you suggest me should I go with this bike for long touring purpose.
I sometimes face wobbling issues. And if you are considering this bike for touring, it is a good choice but try to update for the touring seat. the stock seat is not comfortable in the long run.
When did you purchase highness ? I am hearing about this wobbling issue recently. My highness is december 2021 and there is no wobbling issue in my model.
मैंने अभी cb350 टेस्ट राइड नहीं की है, लेकिन यूट्यूब वीडिओज़ में एग्जॉस्ट साउंड काफी लाउड और फटफटिया जैसी लगती है। क्या वाकई ऐसा है? I hope that I am wrong! I am planning to buy it!
As I got H'ness yesterday. Many people told me to maintain it under 60kmph so it will be good after the first service and will get good mileage. Is there any speed limit I should maintain before the first service?
Actually it's rpm which needs to be checked when in run-in period . But rpm meter is not present in cb350 so you have to drive under 60 kmph on 5th -4th gear , 35-45kmph in 3rd gear , 30 kmoh on 2nd gear max ,1st gear should no.exceed 20 kmph . That too not for too long , toggle between every gear and do not drive for very long on each gear. This ensures even polishing in internal components specially core engine components . This is applicable for all mass produced bikes and even sports bike in case you wish to keep your bike performance as good as new for say 1 lac kms or 10 years atleast. Continue till 2nd or even 3rd service /1 year /12000 kms and see your investment paying rich dividends . After that you can gum down your bike yo maximum .
Even the service ppl are not sure about this. I heard that the newly launched bikes are not having any issues like this. If there is any update about this. I'll make sure ull know brother ❤️
bro I've heard that the paid services are ridiculously high. is that the case ? this high maintenance cost is the only thing that's keeping me from buying this bike
Company blackmails Warranty for paid serivce to keep there showrooms and dealers funding . Apart form engine oil there is nothing that affect engine if you avoid payed service at ASC instead you can get it done form local mechanic with finest of engine oil available in market that enhances the bikes performance by huge margin .You still can pay for ASC in case you have ignored paid services anyway. No ASC will deny services if you go there skipping 5 services because you will be funding them anyway. Machine malfunctioning is luck based which can be reduced by timely maitiannence. Always fill engine oil and fuel of best quality these 2 liquids will keep your bike ticking
Light is a problem, most of my friends use auxiliary lights. I still manage with stock. Regarding wobbling issue, I faced it some times at particular speed. That’s because of various reasons. Report this issue while you service your bike.
I guess he will not be satisfied. Once someone rides honda it becomes difficult to move to other brands especially non Japanese! Man this bike handles like crazily good for its weight. The pull the agility this gives makes u forget u are riding heavy retro bike. Which can never be felt in classic/hunter/meteor.

Hey, nice video!
I have vibration issues on footpegs, do you feel the same..?
No it feels buzzy on left peg baut that not vibration , single cylinder have resonance rpm at certain range mostly in upper end .
Bro, did you follow the breakin period during the first 500km, how did you drive during the breakin period?
No I did not, and the machine is perfectly alright
Hi bro. I didnt got which ring u replace to reduce wobbling?
Please give an answer. It would be a great help for us.

When did you purchase highness ? I am hearing about this wobbling issue recently. My highness is december 2021 and there is no wobbling issue in my model.
That’s due to improper wheel alignment or less air pressure
truly a beast in this segment ☄️
Bro there is Clunky noise while shifting gears from 1st to 2nd gear and from 2nd to third gear... Is it an issue and will it damage the gearbox
First to second is normal when you start the bike after long time, but I feel 2nd to 3rd is unusual. Better consult service centre
How did you mount the phone camera man, great shot.
Hi Raj Bro, are you facing any wobbling issue in this motorcycle please let me know
Yes, occasionally
Hi Raj, how have you mounted the mobile, the footages looks so neat and no shakes ❤
In my riding jacket using tripod . I’ll show the setup in my upcoming videos
What Mobile holder is this bro..hows the performance..
It’s called LGP. It’s given to me as a compliment so I use it. Material is plastic and it’s really good. Simple and good, there is no issue till now

As I got H'ness yesterday. Many people told me to maintain it under 60kmph so it will be good after the first service and will get good mileage.

Yes, it’s a debatable topic. In my opinion it is important to maintain bike at certain speed till the breakin period. First 1000km.
