Dear Honda Team, This is regarding the Honda Scooter Starting Problem. I have purchased a Honda Activa 3G from Ananda Honda, Hosa Road Showroom in Banfgalore on Feb 2016. Problem Statement: When I am trying to start my scooter Honda Activa 3G, either way by kick or self it is not working. The start requires minimum 10-15 kicks even with or without choke; 1. Morning (COLD Hours) : I am facing the starting problem, during morning hours (while going to office) 2, During daytime (HOT Condition), it will not self start, if the vehicle is not used more than 4-5 hrs (say while returning from office) Worst Part of Problem : 3. AT TRAFFIC JUNCTIONS (Engine Hot Condition) : It is not switching on (self start), if you switch off the scooter at TRAFFIC JUNCTIONS. This problem is intermittent, that means 2 to 3 times (out of 10 traffic signals, if you switch off your vehicle). 4. Rainy Season (Engine Hot Condition) :If you are riding the vehicle in rainy season, if you switch off at traffic signals, it may not switch on at traffic signals. Again this problem is intermittent, But frequency is higher compared to 3rd point above (that means without rain) I have given the vehicle for rectification of this issue at the Hosa Road service center 3 time Before, During and After First service. But The problem still there. Note: a. I have checked this issue with my friends and relatives, almost everyone is having this issue irrespctive of whether it is ACTIVA 3G/ 125/ DIO. b. I am having another 2 more vehicles, Tvs Scooty Pep+ and Pulsar 180 Dtsi in Bangalore . Even though old vehicle, i am not facing any of these issues with them (as the self start is seamless). So requesting your help to resolve this problem.
