[@nithishbabu9352]

Totaly agreeing with you.. I am a keralite ( malayalee) and our government is reducing the permissible top speed of two wheelers to 60 kmph, so I won't be able to use the 5 th gear anymore in my hness 😢

Wtf .😂

[@bishwarup1973]

Better to see the life few more days than higher gear😊

[@ramarajjanarthanan1934]

You are right. Since this is a long stroke engine with low rpm, gear ratio also differ when compared to other bikes. Thank you for your video. It's very useful. Keep posting....

[@intentionalvideos456]

Lot of people are complaining this but understand , It's not a problem, This bike is designed like that. It's a speed cruiser. May be by the looks people are expecting RE torque here I guess.

[@kannan159]

It has better torque than RE

[@JC-nx5xx]

Its really helpful. It's behaving exactly like CBR250R. 2nd 20kmph, 3rd 30-32kmph, 4th 40-43kmph, 5th 45kmph, 6th 55-60kmph. For cb350, It should have had lower gear ratio for 1-3 and 4th little shorter to have power for 5th gear. For a classic bike like this , if riding below 20kmph in 2nd is not possible then it's a big negative thing for CB350. Should have had in 15kmph at least for 2nd gear lowest speed.

[@thangkirbuaiabuaia1812]

Agree, it will definitely heats up in bumper to bumper traffic where speed is below 18kmph I'n city. Wish the gearing is short-er.. I'm so sad..

[@sudhansuranjanmohapatra6429]

In congested cities perhaps one will use upto 3 gears only unlike Metore where there is no knocking even upon riding in 5th gear at as low as 40 kmph. I find it suprising that a 155 cc Gixer can be ridden in 5th gear @ 33 kmph without any knocking. My friend who owns a 50 year old Royal Enfield Enfield says that he can ride in top gear even at 25 Kmph speeds. I welcome any comments on my observations pl

[@motovin77]

With CB 350 its due to the the long stroke engine combined with tall gearing vs Meteor which is also a long stroke engine with not so tall gearing hence it manages to lower speeds in all gears compared to the CB350. On the bikes like Gixxer are not long stroke engines coupled with not so tall gearing, so they are able to run a lower speeds in higher gears - That's my understanding on this topic.

[@sudhansuranjanmohapatra6429]

Hey i feel like something's pulling backwards while I increase my speed from 10kmph-20kmph in 1st gear , especially in traffic. Is it common or is it only me ?

[@diwakars3834]

Good one.. Please do a review on the riding gears you use

[@Plmsiba]

yes although I love this bike so much.. this gearing really bothers me, if you are living in crowded area chances are, you don't even use 5th gear for days or weeks.. because it needs 70kmph ..On an average steep , you need to use 3rd gear.. this keeps more frequent down shifts or use 3rd and cruise .. if you are with pillion then it's even worse.. I expected more from 30nm torque engine..

Sir, how is the shifting between 1st and 2nd gear and from 2 nd to 1st? Is it smooth? Why I asked was, in medium or heavy traffic, smooth transition matters a lot!

[@pradyu.1]

It's smooth. But u have to down shift to 1dt gear everytime it slows to 20-15kmph and 1st gear shifting is at 20-25kmph, so it's like roasting the 1st gear in traffic...CB350 behaves beautifully for an open road, in traffic it's not very pleasent...

[@sameerindirock]

@@pradyu.1 I hsve the Hness. Honestly I don't use the first gear at all on roads. Even in a traffic jam. I start the bike from 2nd gear itself. I enter 4th gear at 40 but once took it upto 70 in the 3rd gear. Now my optimization for milage is 2nd: 0-25 3rd:25-40 4th:40-50 5th: 50 and above. (Rarely go above 60 anyway. )

Hello, How do we ensure smooth gear shifting on CB350.? I am able to down shift gears smoothly without much noise but when it comes to upshifting the gears its too noisy. Not sure if its because of my riding style. Any tips /suggestions to eliminate / reduce the gearshift noise. Thanks in advance :)

[@motovin77]

Three things play a key role in terms of ensuring smooth gear shifts. 1, Shifting gears at correct speeds / RPM 2, Clutch operation and perfect free play as per manual. 3, Chain slack is perfect, not too loose or tight.

Uphill torque in gears. How did it perform on inclines

[@motovin77]

4th and 5th gears are relatively tall, so the engine need to be kept on the boil to extract good torque, 5th is an overdrive. If speed drops below 70 kmph, you would need to downshift to 4th and sometimes to 3rd if you need to overtake... Torque in the 1-4 is amazing... 5th being an overdrive
