I along with many people will be surprised if hero group can make a good motorcycle of there own, forget diesel. They were bicycle assemblers who started assembling motorbikes when honda came along. They have recently found a new partner EBR . Atall they come out with a diesel bike its likly to be 1...

None of above is true as per my knowledge.
Yes Hero is working on diesel, infact they have just started. Pics shown are of petrol karizma, stats and figures given about diesel engine are speculations.

Probably best to produce a kit so the ppl could buy that to convert their Rocket 3's. That way guys could try to source or repair an older bike themselves (they hold their value well) as well as getting an engine secondhand. Given the great torque these new engines deliver I personally would detune...

As you are in India you may have access to some small car engines?? Does the Tata Nano have a diesel option? I don't know the Indian market but I've felt for a long time we are heading for a reverse situation where due to rising fuel and other costs the western economies are shrinking and we'll aga...

Out of round rear tire is one of the major cause of slow speed wobbles , disappears with gain in speed. Stearing geometry or loose front end generally shows its wobbles only on higher speeds.
although its hard to comment on exact cause without first hand experience.

That is a heart breaking news. It was a bike right on to on my wish list. Sad indeed. Wish some one comes up with offroad / dual purpose diesel bike soon.
How come other bike makers are still in business and a diesel bike maker had to be shut down?

some pics from a test run a last month

old pic, few more updates have been done. shame that i had to move out of my hometown for a job . lot of finishing jobs still remains .

Will post pic soon.thanks
