I am sorry for being little late in posting my review on this bike.I got my bike serviced after 725 KMs. In service station I changed my gear changing paddle as it was not easy for me to shift the gear and also damaging my shoes but now it is gr8.
Today it is ready for its second free service and the KM travelled is 2855. Only after my first service I and my friend as a pillon rider went to Mathura on a constant speed of 50 KMPH which is approx 150 KM from my house. On that day I drove 318 KM (Going and back) and it’s a wonderful experience for me. I was cool and fresh after I cam back home. My Second trip was to Panipat total KM (two ways) 280.
Let me tell you friends I changed my Engine oil at 1550 from a local mechanic but I purchased the Engine oil from Honda Service center. Till now it’s a no tension bike for me and gives me full riding comfort with excellent road maneuverability. I only maintain few things which help me getting a milage of 59 – 60 in City roads and more on Highways.
1.I change Engine oil in every 1200 – 1500 Kms
2.I clean my bike every week myself.
3.Proper servicing and on time.
4.Keep in touch which Honda service station mechanic and one expert (Private) mechanic outside Honda to know about the bike but don’t allow the personal mechanic to do any thing. Just take his guidance to know the bike performance.
5.In cold / winter morning when I first start the bike and keep it on idle running condition for atleast 5 mins.
6.I never give unnecessary escalation / Throttle either on idle condition or on running condition.
7.I shift gear on 3.4 – 4 RPM till 4th gear and from forth to fifth gear I change on 4.1 – 4.2 RPM till the bike reaches at a speed of 50 KM and then I maintain the speed from 50 to 55 KM and also maintain the RPM level 3.4 – 4.0.
8.Never give an emergency brake and always use both the break together slowly.
9.I switch off the engine on red light stoppage. If I stop more than 30 seconds.
10.I always park my bike on center stand if I part for long hrs and side stand only if I park for short time.
11.I fill up 13 liters every time. Full tank.
12.I try to fill up from a specified / particular petrol pump only.
13.I use Nitrogen Gas in the tire tubes instead of air with helps to give gr8 road grip, maintain constant tire pressure for month and its lighter than air for smooth riding. Cooler than air, which helps to give more life to your bike tires.
This Honda Unicorn Bike is gifted with a super smooth Honda engine with minimum engine vibrations. Which makes its rider feel that this bike is running with-out any engine at a constant speed of 45 – 55 KMPH on fifth gear.
Riding Comfort is awesome. I LOVE Honda Unicorn.
Thanks & Regards
