I've two problems with my Unicorn (2007 Edition, purchases in November 2007, merely 10375 kms. done, as on October 27th , 2009) -
1. When my bike travels over a bad road (with potholes), and then comes to normal surface it gives a sort of wobbling feeling, even though the tyre pressure is correct. The rim should be fine as I don't recall hitting it that hard to make it bent, and anyhow if it was bent, it should wobble just like that even on plain roads, isn't it? After a while, it feels/ gets normal..
When I explained this to the service centre mech., he took it for a test-ride and suggested me to get handle bar riser replaced as it has got worn out. (I am not exactly sure what he said, it was something rasher, raiser, racer, sort of thing, I didn't had money at that moment, so I thought okay, in next visit, but googling suggests riser)
So I wish to know, does handle bar riser has anything to do with wobbling? If not, what could be the problem?
2. Another problem is with trip-meter (analog), it shows half-figures all the time, like when it has to show 478, it will show half of 4 and half of 5, half of 7 and half of 8, half of 8 and half of 9. It won't show full numbers... Only in rare occasions it would show figures correctly, no matter how well I press the reset button.
So, what could be the problem.. Funny service people, can't do any good.. They say they'll talk to the Honda bosses..
Any help/ guidance is appreciated guys..




They ask me to change Handlebar Riser thing, for around 300-400 bucks, I sure can get it done, but I am scared, what if it doesn't fix it.. And, I don't trust these service people. It it is fixable, I doubt they'll fix it, and make me buy something..
Maybe Honda people might think about this, if suggested... I seriously doubt about the service centre manager/ the management of that service centre, as it brings more revenues to them by selling more spares and servicing more vehicles in same time.
bro...new parts are good but that doesn't mean you should always go for a new part....
