  • Service Checklist For A Unicorn 160

    Hi folks,

    I have been riding a Unicorn 160 since 2015 for 25,000 km and while it has served me well, I have not taken care of it to the same degree as much. The bike has developed problems due to my sheer carelessness. It stalls after starting up or at low speeds, front disc brake behaves like a worn out calliper brake of a bicycle, the engine does not feel refined as a usual Honda engine. My luck with mechanics has been terrible and thus I've decided to oversee the upcoming service and discuss the issues with a mechanic. Can you help with a checklist that I must follow to get the bike and especially its engine up to mark.

    Here are a few points I've made but I don't know much about engine and gear adjustments
    1. Replace disc brake pads
    2. Replace air filter
    3. Degrease the chain and reapply lubricant
    4. Check chain slack
    5. Clean the carburettor
    6. Check/replace rear brake cable
    7. Clean drum brake
    8. Check rear tyre alignment
    9. Oil the accelerator cable (no idea if this makes sense)
    10. Clean spark plug
    11. Engine oil change (please suggest a good oil)
    12. Clutch wire oiling and replacement if necessary
    13. Accelerator rotation adjustment
    14. Headlight Dipper adjustment

      if your bike ran 25000kms and you have not got your major service done yet, then its important to know that every 12k to 15k kms some parts needs to be replaced.
      1. spark plug
      2. air filter
      3.engine oil with O-ring(drainage bolt)
      4.front disc pad/drum brake
      5.rear disc pad/drum brake
      6.disc oil change with dot3/4 oil grade
      7. adjust tappets clearance
      this is your 12k km service done.

      now come to your major service of 25k-30k kms. everthing that happened in the 12k service has to happen,now more parts will be added to it.
      8.coneset
      9.chain set.
      10.tyres
      11.throttle cable
      12.clutch cable
      13.clean carbu./throttle body
