Harley-Davidson Street 750 Recalled In India

  • Harley-Davidson has been contacting owners of the Street 750 for a check-up.
  • The faulty brake callipers will be replaced free of charge.
  • The issue affects Street 750s manufactured from 2016 onwards.

Harley-Davidson Street 750 RecallHarley-Davidson India has issued a silent recall for all Street 750 models manufactured from 2016 onwards. The Milwaukee-based manufacturer has cited faulty brake callipers as the reason behind the latest recall. Globally, nearly 44,000 units of the Street series (both 750 and 500) have been affected by this issue and the manufacturer is working on rectifying it as soon as possible.

In India, the Street 750 is the gateway into the Harley family. But the manufacturer has faced severe backlash in the past for issues related to the brakes. Back in 2016, owners complained of severe brake fade and the callipers wearing off too soon, which resulted in a couple of accidents. This time around the issue is not that severe, but nevertheless Harley does not want to take any chances. The company has said that the brakes could drag due to brake calliper piston bores that are prone to corrode quickly. Increased drag could affect the bike’s stability and increase the risk of a crash, it added. The company has contacted owners of Street 750s that were manufactured from 2016 onwards.

While we did speak to officials from Harley-Davidson India, they do not have an exact figure of how many Street 750s have been affected by the latest recall. However, they have us that the check-up process is underway and if any issues are found, the faulty brake calliper units will be replaced free of charge. This isn’t the first time Harley-Davidson has recalled the Street 750. Back in 2015, the manufacturer recalled the entry-level cruiser for a faulty seal in the fuel pump.

Breaking Down BS6 Carburettors And Fuel Injection Explained

  It’s now been nearly 4 months since BS6 emission norms came into effect, and almost all the bikes and scooters sold in India have been updated to meet the stricter regulations. Most recent among these to receive the updates was the TVS Scooty Zest BS6 , which was launched a couple of days ago at Rs 58,640. Like all the BS6 updates we’ve seen so far, this new version is more expensive than its BS4 predecessor, by around Rs 6,000 in this case. And the biggest reason behind these price hikes is the addition of a fuel-injection system. So what exactly is it? And how did bikes work before fuel-injection came into the picture? Let’s take a look: To understand why a fuel-injection (FI) system is needed, we first need to understand its predecessor: the carburettor. Both FI and carburettors do the same job: mixing air and fuel in the correct proportions before it’s sent into the engine. The diagram above shows a carburettor’s layout. Air enters at the top, flows through a narrow con...

Royal Enfield Classic 350 ABS Launched At Rs 161 lakh

Rumours of an ABS-equipped Royal Enfield have been doing rounds for quite some time with many stating that the entire range would get only single-channel ABS, barring the Royal Enfield Himalayan, the upcoming Interceptor 650 and Continental GT 650 . However, all those rumours have been slammed by the heritage classic bike manufacturer. As exclusively reported by us earlier , Royal Enfield has launched its highest selling model, the Classic 350 , with dual-channel ABS in India today at Rs 1.61 lakh (ex-showroom Pune). The new variant is called the Classic Signals 350 and is inspired by the Indian Army Corps of Signals, which is a division that oversees military communications. Apart from the safety net and the 240mm rear disc, the company is also offering this variant in two new colour schemes - Airborne Blue and Stormrider Sand. The instrument cluster now features a low fuel light and an ABS light instead of the ammeter that's offered on the standard Classic 350. The serial...

Honda HNess CB350 Same Price Other Options

  Watch Video Review     Honda has finally entered the retro segment dominated by Royal Enfield with its very own offering, the H’Ness CB350 . Expected to be priced at approximately Rs 1.90 lakh, the roadster has a lot going for it and is already creating waves in the two-wheeler industry. But if you still feel the CB350 isn’t the bike for you, you could have a look at the following options around the same price bracket.    Royal Enfield Classic 350 Stealth Black: Rs 1,86,319 Royal Enfield enthusiasts could stick to the bike that has pretty much been the backbone for the brand. Sure, the Classic 350 isn’t as powerful as the CB350, or as feature-rich, or as err… reliable, but it still has the thump -- if that’s what you’re looking for. Also, without all the fancy gizmos it’s as pure as pure can get -- a classic retro motorcycle!    Husqvarna Svartpilen, Vitpilen 250: Rs 1,84,768 The Swedes, on the other hand, have a different take on “neo-...
