  • sudden pickup for a second in Honda unicorn

    Hello. I have done 6000ks in my honda unicorn. But from day 1 i have some problems with gear box and sudden pickup.

    Problem 1) Some times there is a sudden pickup and drop in speed just for a sec, It feels like you have given a full throttle and brought it down in a second.
    problem 2) Many times it shifts into neutral when i shift 1st gear to second gear. And also have problem in top gear (5th gear). some times it comes to 4th gear while travelling in 5th gear. 3) some times it feels a matalic sound comes from engine as if the some weels are slipping and also a other a sound comes out (like when you wrong shift gear in yamaha you get a sound right). 4) Also got another sound from engine yester (sound like a stone has hit the engine) I feel like the sound has come from bore of the engine. I have already took the bike to silicon honda bangalore 4 times in this month (feb 2023)and in the fourth service the found out that the gear-shift is bend and have changed it. But still no benifits. Have given it yesterday again to them for the 5th time. Dont know what do.

      ......Some times there is a sudden pickup and drop in speed just for a sec, It feels like you have given a full throttle and brought it down in second.

      Since your bike is under warranty, do not mess around with any mechanicals. Take it back to the ASC and have your transmission assembly examined properly. Slipping of gears in a new bike is very abnormal. Don't let the ASC fellows take it casually. Escalate the issue to the manager is required.

      Biking is not about how many Km/h you put on your Speedo. It's about how many miles you put on your Odo. Ride Safe, Ride Long!

        more or less seems like a clutch free play issue to me and gears not getting aligned properly..
        for the unicorn i belive the new ones comes with a short shifter which is fitted horizontally to the road.. get that removed and put it back one notch below
        so while u shift gear it gets slot properly...

        also get the accelrator cable and the clutch setting checked..

          The service guy has just adjusted the carburetor needle and charged me 169 labour charges and asked me to call them back if the problem persist . Have used it for 30 kms after the adjustment and didn't face any problems. Will update if i get the problem..

              169 for adjusting the carb needle !! at this rate i think aircraft maintenance would be cheaper
