    i'm getting 60km/h @5000 rpm. isn't it less than what you people are getting? i'm using NGK plug.
    Try 10w40 semi synthetic oil (ex. Shell AX7). I'm using the same. When you go long trips & that too in hot climatic conditions your engine heats up fast. So the grade level should be maintained atleast at xw40. Otherwise the smoothness of the engine will go off. Btw Shell oil takes around 50kms to find the real difference, after which you bike will be butter smooth. Drain in period, well I have ran it for 2.5k kms after which you will feel the roughness in engine.
    Regarding the speed @5k rpm, I feel its less. Maybe proper Unicorn owners can give a much clear insight on it.

    What is the economy speed of unicorn ? Most of the other bikes have marked green in the speedometer. But Uni doesn't have.
    55-60kmph will be the economy speed.

            Its normal. Its there in my apache too. I have noticed water coming from it after I ride in rain or after doing a complete wash. Though I have no idea what is the use of it. Maybe its provided to help drain unwanted water. Don't trust my point on that.

                  37 is low, do u accelerate fast or brake often?

                      Get horns from Roots or Bosch,cost's between 100-200,Different ranges are available.
                      Or get Pulsar Dual Horns,its nearly 300rs for a pair.Loud too.

                      2. Is their any need of relay
                      If getting normal horns like the oem ones,no need of a relay,If getting something like an Air Horn or Roots Windtones,Relay is needed.

                          Why are you changing the horns? Horn in my bike is pretty good if not the best. Its loud enough to be heard clearly even passing by trucks. I heard that there is some adjustments to the volume lable of horn. Ask your service center guys to increase the volume.

                              If you have any issues, let the service center guy know about them.
                              kmpl figure will rise after the servicing. Don't tell service center guy to adjust the carb for more mileage.

                              After servicing, you can start using high revs gradually. Ride for couple of weeks and then again check mileage.
