      Just go to HASS and tell them to clean it. They will disagree with you at first but force them to clean it.. If you want.

      Btw, why do you want it to get clean? I guess there's no need of it under normal conditions.

      I got it opened to get it cleaned at 2nd service but there was nothing to clean. The mechanic said its usually cleaned at the time of clutch plate change.

        Welcome mate!
        Replace you filter if its been through more than couple of oil changes.Don't just clean it.
        All i know is Unicorn has its oil filter behind a panel on its LHS.i hope other members can verify.

            I have never seen the Oil Filter in my Unicorn in the last 7 Years. The only thing which needs cleaning is Air Filter, which on most occasions we can do ourselves.

              Its a centrifugal oil filter, and requires cleaning only past the 30K mark. The mechanics commonly refer to it as 'ROTOR FILTER'

                There are two filters for Unicorn. They are located on the right side of the engine and you will find them when you open the right side crank case. One is oil strainer, a metal screen which traps bigger metal parts; and two centrifugal filter, which traps finer particles in the oil. You need to clean them every 15k kms (per manual). You need to open the crank case to clean them and generally nobody will do that at service center.

                  If you are regularly changing oil then there is no need to clean it and let it be till your clutch plates require replacement then any way you will open it to change clutch plate and at that time clean it. There will be no dirt in it.
                  In my joy which has same arrangement and it was opened after 80k kms when clutch plates was changed and still also it was clean.
                  Please do not unnecessarily open it as repeated opening will only introduce dust into engine.
