Guys who are facing problems with new batch bikes go to your dealer and ask them for answers and get it solved or else tell them you will drop a mail to Honda directly.

Dear x-bhpians,
I am new to this forum.
I have a Passion Plus 2004 model. It's old now and not able to serve the purpose. It has run close to 75k.
Due to work location change, I have to travel 70kms (one-way)(mon-fri) daily.
Which is the best bike for this daily commute? I need 150cc and I have short listed Uni/Pulsar/CBZ.
I test rode Uni and Pulsar..Engine is excellent in Honda, that's it. Pulsar has good sitting position and new digital console. But Honda has not done any modifications so far.
Please help me in deciding.

Honda Unicorn

Hi,
I am posting a query for the first time. I have a honda cb unicorn purchased in march 2012 (~ 4000kms done). Daily run of this bike is 34 kms.
The bike ran smoothly till march 2012 and after it skid the bike started behaving eratically.

1. The bike does not pick up cleanly in the morning. It chokes and clogs till it heats up.
2. When I apply brakes to the bike while riding between 60 - 70 kmph the bikle starts to sway and tilts on the left hand side. I checked the tyre pressure also and it was correct 25 in front & 29 in the rear tyre. Stills it sways.

I have contacted OM SAI Honda at their Kandivali service center but the problem is still not resolved.

Can somebody please guide me as to what can be the problem and how to resolve it.

Thanks,

Fariborz P. Zaigar

If only commut than go for uni , its proven for mid range commute like 50 -100 km strech and more , pulsar is also good ( iT sells better ), can check out Suzuki GS 150r which has both the goodies(digi consol , smooth engine , comfort) of UNI and PULS with better FE matching Passion , as we have all 3 vehicals in our family , i respect all 3 equally. no CBZ

Is the problem still persists ? My unicorn will arrive within 20 days. I am bit scared hearing this

Dont worry i got my Unicorn before 14 days and 500 kms in odometer now No issues as quoted

did u have the morning starting trouble issue ?

How much cost for apache dual horn fittng in Unicorn ? with relay

Test Drive Unicorn and Suzuki GS150R. Both are best for the KMS you have mentioned which offers good mileage and comfort. Pulsar would be pain driving for such KMs daily. I have used all these bikes for my daily office commute(100 Kms) and the first 2 are the all rounder for 150ccs

[QUOTE=fariborzpz;812294]Hi,

Dont ride the bike till the engine warms up. Use Choke to warm up for a minute and then start riding. Check Idling screw as well.

2. When I apply brakes to the bike while riding between 60 - 70 kmph the bikle starts to sway and tilts on the left hand side. I checked the tyre pressure also and it was correct 25 in front & 29 in the rear tyre. Stills it sways.

It happens only when i apply back brake alone. Applying both brakes is a good practice and stops your bike before the calculated distance.

Hey Guyz. I just got Viscous type green coloured air filter for my unicorn. I just want to know, can I install it straightaway or should I use some oil on the surface before installing it. Ty in advance.

Let me tell you buddy, i purchased my Unicorn in September 2011 and i am fed up with this bike. The only saving grace is that my bike returns and fuel efficiency of 55 Kmpl in city. I have completed 7500 Kms on my CB Unicorn. Initially with the pick up problems from day 1 i am looking for answers. The service centers do not have any concrete answers and they think the bike is perfect. I change oil after every 1500 kms and still the ride is harsh even till 70 kms. My engine head has been opened twice, once in 2nd servicing and 2nd on 4th servicing to change the rubber as there was oil leak. I do not off road and still service centers say "khadde mein chalane se hota hai". My tappets have been set twice, still makes noise. Both times they did not use any guages. I wasnt aware of any office in mumbai but the last time i called the landline number for their office in Pune, some one picked up the phone and kept it aside. How rude. A few service center guys must have done their masters in Bike repairing by working on my bike. On 3rd servicing they told me that carb setting has to be changed. Now they messed up really bad. The fule mixture is very lean. I will call Honda tomorrow. But any one is planning to kick their *** join me. I havent paid 73000 cash for such dirty ride.

I got my honda unicorn delivered two days back.

My odometer has stopped working. I will have to visit service center tomorrow. I am not facing any starting problem.

Also, SC had set the idle rpm at 1200. However, now it has increased to 1400-1600. what is the reason? Should i change it myself?

seems like the service centre guys are playing with your bike..they are doing everything twice as they are not doing it correctly, change the service centre and see..
you can set the idle rpm to ~1300rpm when engine is hot or you can ask them to correct the idle rpm if you are visiting the service centre soon..
speedo cable might have broke..tacho and other guages are working?
