Have you tried riding a unicorn other than your own? A bad suspension is not the only reason for backache, a different riding posture also causes it.

Hi moto143,

Was your suspension issue resolved ?

Guys,
My issue still exists. I am a bit confused, not sure if rear shock is damaged or just front suspensions oil seal has to be fixed or both. There are no oil leakage in front suspensions. Please help me in identifying cause of problem. I feel regular bumps even when driving on a smooth road.What could be the reason ?

I rode the bike and to my excitement it was like how it felt during the first week.

Local street side mechanics were not able to locate the issue even after driving the bike. Instead they said front suspension is excellent but rear is damaged.

Earlier I had taken to two other honda service centres but they were also not able to rectify this. Atleast they said rear suspension is fine.

Thanks Sunilg for your time.

did u had to pay for it at honda service ceytner and if yes how much?

No, I did not pay anything.

Even now, the front fork is very sensitive or so. When I apply front brake, the front suspensions are completely immersed. I need to take to the service center to check fork oil levels.

I happen to have a 2007 unicorn.I had a similar problem,infact a very peculiar one.Whenever i went over a bad patch,i used to feel a jerk,similar to one that you feel in a leafspring suspension(most common in state transport buses).It was as if there was no rear suspension at all.But this didn't happen frequently and got the suspension replaced under warranty.
In my case the rear suspension was at fault.I suggest you take it to the svc and insist on a replacement.
Ps-i dont know if its valid-do check the swing arm bearings,if they are at fault(not likely) it might restrict the free movement of the swingarm.
