      regarding the thread if u observe closely they are of a narrower pitch ( may be designed for fine adjustment ) than found in most bikes & that makes them particularly vulnerable to thread damage

      I just use one drop of fevi quick.And once fixed it gets detached due to the shocks eventually while riding

              The electric output is only 35w. So even if u put in a 55/60w bulb, it'll glow only at 35w. The only advantage is when u flash. It flashes with DC, so the full power of 55/60w turns on ALONG with the glowing 35w too. Super bright flash!

              If u want 55/60w running for normal usage, then as Shyam Narayan mentioned, u'll have to get the coil rewound to get the higher output. This is because the Unicorn runs on AC electricals. U'll also have to work with a bigger capacity battery too, resulting in a bigger alternator to charge the battery as fast or faster than the discharge rate.

              Seems like a lot of work!

                thanks Shyam & Prajwal..yeah that seems to be a lot of work involved..since im using a 55/60w headlamp in my zma, i find it hard while riding with the 35w bulb of my unicorn.but sure, the stock bulb gives good light which no other 35w bulb can offer!cheers

                  rewinding the coil with more turns will fix this.. converting to dc will give continous light output at all rpm, a higher rated battery may also be needed if u convert to dc..so its not a plug and play mod..

                  I've upgraded to 9aH battery 2days ago when my stock battery gave up. DC conversion is on the cards.

                  yes..stock lamps are good,only problem is its not continuous since its on ac

                      Check the grip threads on the tire,If they are worned out,Then its time to replce.

                          go for Michelin Sirac street 100/90-18'' for rear and 2.75 18 for front.
                          check the tyres thread also..

                              Stick to the zapper if you are riding more on well maintained roads...

                              But if you go off road occassionally SIRAC is best...check out opnions from D-monster/C-geo grop users also .I felt ceat is a good option..for a balanced on-off road trail...

                                amaron MF, got it for 1.6k, 2yrs replacement + 2yrs pro rated warranty.
                                You need to remove the plastic box and make some adjustments to the battery holder to fit it in.
