      Get the bike tuned by a proper mechanic. Probably your bike is running lean.

      2.In honda user manual(pg 56) i read that the time to change air filter and spark plug is 9000 kms.is it true??
      Better do it, matter of 80-90rs.

      3. i want to install a good headlight except from HID which also doesnt cause any harm to battery life.my budget is 1000 bucks.please suggest me guys
      Rewind the coil and put a 55/60w Bulb. (there are many threads for this, take ur time and search)

      4. I want to install k&n air filter but i am not able to find the correct model for it and also i dont know what are the other modifications i have to do to get best output from it.is it true that after installing k&n bike sound increases.please guide me!!!!
      yes, air intake sound will come but that sound is sweet
      You can put RC1060 (rs.1600) or R1060 (rs.1300)
      Once u put K&N, u can either run lean for mileage or upjet for better power delivery (changing stock jet to bigger size for more fuel). You will lose mileage.

      5.i also want to know the pros and cons of iridium spark plugs and correct model for honda unicorn.
      also write the cost of iridium spark plugs and k&n air filter.

      AFAIK there is no model released for Unicorn / xtreme but the below quote might be useful to u
