Hi Friends,

I bought the dream machine in 2005 done 40000kms till now I am riding this bike since 3yrs and seriously it's very pretty (smoother than butter) engine drives me crazy whenever I ride this bike....

Unicorn is good example of engineering magic, smooth, stylish with good average and with low care
A Complete mouthshut performance of a WING RIDER

My Bike was ported thrice in couple of years for normal use and also undergone many tunings during my 2006 Ucal-Rolon 150cc Championship. When decided Racing is not future engine was set back to street racing conditions. During normal use the Bike was ripped very badly (My mistake gone too crazy

) which resulted in a Bore seize and broken rings with a rotten piston. It was completely dead.

Boar with Piston & Rings, Clutch, Valves, Timing Chain, Bearings, Packing kits and few other Engine parts

Full Size Engine Scoop & Half Size Chain Guard
Disk Pad/Rear Break Shoe, Tail Set, Rear Foot pegs, Tiny Indicators
Automatic Chain Adjuster, Chain Sprocket set
Motul 20W/40 Engine Oil
2)Paint Job and Sticker Works on Fuel Tank, Tail Set, Inner Disk, Engine Scoop, Front Fork, Handle, chain guard ...

3)Other Stuff -
Complete Engine work (Crank Shaft Reset, Valves, and Bearings), Silencer Carbon removal, Front Fork Lubrication

Glad to know that there are people who take the Unicorn seriously and mod it to get the performance it deserves

Ive heard people ranting about the smooth engine, noiselessness etc, but seldom does one see a remark about its handling capabilities..

It would be nice if you could share some experiences of yours on the track with your Uni

P.S : Could you shed some light on the way a Uni behaves around the track wrt its handling..
Im still atleast a couple of years away from being able to afford a trackday..
Surely there are more people out there who would be in the same position.. So please do post your experiences..
Cheers..!!

I just came across the same situation like yours. I wanted to do a write up about what I had just experienced with my unicorn and you just finished it !

Yes. My unicorn is also 40000kms run. I wanted to do something to revive it badly. I had quite a few problems. I took it to the same Siva (333 Racing). He has been my bike's doctor for the past 8yrs starting from my Saffire, Victor and Unicorn(Current). He is the best doctor. He revamped my whole bike. Complete engine work and with powering too. I had problems with my Disc brake as the old kalyani disc set was giving too much noise. I had to change the battery too since the self-start wasn't working.

He has done an excellent job. He took 2 weeks. Now the bike's mid range torque is amazing seriously. I want to set the engine like you said for few thousand kms.

Cheers to Siva and Honda! Now I can really ride my bike again for 40k-50k kms more without any revamp!

"Actually he was telling me that he was working with an unicorn from bangalore. Must have been your bike "

I opted for Stock Sprocket and Drive Chain this time, previously it had Customized Sprocket (Lesser Teeth) for better Initials. Now I was very keen to get back my Uni to Stock condition hence did not perform any mods. After huge changes now the Fuel Efficiency is 55kmpl. Total Cost Involved was Rs18000/-.

Hey CBR

Your Correct Shiva is the Best Bike Doctor, I Rather State he is the best Tuner also. I change the Engine Oil every 2000 kms and lubricate the Air Filter myself every Three months as a normal service because i never give my Bike to any local mechanic (in Hosur). I trust only Shiva and greatly Satisfied with his Excellent work and hence I drop the bike once in a year riding to Chennai from Hosur for a complete service. After a month I pickup my Bike riding back home. Iam Doing this since i bought the bike, Its even not serviced in showroom.

1) It has got better Initials with the 120/80 -16 size
2) I felt grip, handling & Braking is much better than the Stock Tyre
3) It has a Got a Cool Looks from Rear View (Pic Attached - Old)

Nice to see someone viewing the unicorn through the performance view else i have always see people downgrading the unicorn.

Just a query-The unicorn employs a paper type,which i feel should not be lubricated

**sundar76** · 02-27-2010, 04:26 PM

need shiva's address..pls..

hi can u pls give me shiva's contact details? it will be very helpful..

**deep** · 03-06-2010, 12:28 PM

Am planning to put on new shoes on my Unicorn & I would like to know your feedback on the Dunlop 120/80 -16, should I go for it?

**Remedy** · 09-17-2010, 05:39 PM

Even I am interested in knowing Mr. Shiva's address. Please PM me his address.
TIA!

**Sarvajit** · 09-17-2010, 06:10 PM

Congrats on the new lease of life your bike has got. I would have kept the rear tyre also stock, but to each his own.
I suggest you go for the new viscous type air filter that the new CB Unicorn employs, rather than K&N, which would again require lot of jetting&other changes.
