HI Everyone,
I just bought a unicorn 20 days ago.Black color.I realised a bit late that a lot of maintenance is required for he softer black paint(easily prone to scratches unlike metallic colors)wonder if
honda lacks the technology to make black finish scratch proof or they can borrow it from car makers.The dealer in bangalore dhruvdesh is stingy when it comes to teflon coating surprisingly mant in the workshop fight and share the same cloth for cleaning , coating, polishing (HONDA do u care to listen) all also there is a scam in the initial petrol in the tank shame they try to make money thru such tricks , they do not offer even a cup of coffee as they make you wait for the bike.
I am wondering now after 500 km if the service will be like a Govt office.I have run in the bike outside city on highways with cooling intervals at around 2000 rpm.
Cons:
1) Poor head light beam for night travel
2) Lack of trip meter
3) No engine switch
4) No side Stand indicator
5) No instructions on replacing fuse outs etc
6) Gear box is smooth while u go 1 to 2 to 3 yo 4 to 5 but not so smoothand nice while u down shift
Please let me know if u also face the same problem
7) No holding support for rear pillion who wears a saree
8) 40% of Rear mirrors immage focus is on your sleeves and shirt
9) have to check wahat the mileage will be not so sure
10) Why cant thy provide a crash guard as standard . HONDA is so STINGY SHAME for all their
talk of safety
11) Rudimentary monoshock provided, seems the monoshock works only with pillion, riding on
rough stretch alone feels like we r on horse back
12) Black color paint seems too soft(prone to scratches)
13) Dont bother to make small improvements from time to time, I SUGGEST THEY LEARN FROM
INTEL .The Honda Indian design cell engineers r actively encouraged to maybe sleep
till next Model.Why can t they provide a mud flap for rear tyre like pulsar
14) They try to save on a trip meter, side stand indicator for all their talk of technology.cant thy
understand like intel, changes r to be offered continually atleast in common sense areas
15)TOM , DICK, HARRY manning sales and service. No experienced gray haired guy is visible at
service end with whom u can share experiences and learn new things.Maybe inexperienced
people cost less in terms of salary
Pros:
1) Silky smooth engine
2) Engine pulls like a breeze uphill in higher gears
3) Good stability
4) Handling, flickability
5) Decent looks (conservative)
6) Longer engine life
Hope I did not disappoint u guys, bikers with all this.It is something to think of after u invest 61 grand of hard earned money. U deserve better attention certainly.
Please let me know if factory settings on engine should not be changed at service
and also best engine oil is it Brand called MOTUL?
MORE AFTER THE FIRST SERVICE NEXT WEEK
