      Please check with Honda service immediately.

      Rain has nothing to do with Speedo wires, i believe.

      • Hi All,

        I'm posting this query for my friend who is having unicorn 2012 model.
        He is doing bike service from Saphire Honda (RV road, Bangalore).
        So far he has done 2 services from there. He is not happy with their service & the bike is too rough than it was when he brought. He would like to change the service center. Can anyone suggest which is best Honda service center in Bangalore.

              • Does anyone here know the customer care mail id for Honda bikes.
                One of my friend would like to register a complaint against the dealer.
                Like for TVS bikes there is a mail id to which you can send mails regarding issues & they will call you back and give assistance.
                Please share any official mail id's.

                    The speedo issue was resolved the same day after riding for a few kms. Though i find a lil lag now, or its just psychological. WIll address the issue to Honda.

                    She goes for her first service on 17 July. Calculated the average after filling up half tank of fuel. Came to about 42-45. Decent considering the run in.

                    Anything to get done at the first service other than the normal ?

                      They change oil, wash vehicle. I don't think they do anything else.

                      Please tell to the service center guy about the problems you are facing (if any).

                      Usually during free services, they try to sell bike polish, engine flushing, teflon coating. Make sure you are not carried away by their words.

                        Booked the appointment for 24 July, the earliest possible ! Bike has run 300kms till date, add another 100 till next week.

                        No way ill fall to their gimmicks, already got her a wax anyway. Just going to get the seat cover if possible, honda had a good quality laminated one. And engine flush for a 500 kms run bike.. haha what do these guys think we are.

                        Don't plan to get the bike washed either, they're surely gonna leave swirl marks on the new paint. She's anyway clean and as good as new.

                        Will address the speedo issue though. Lets see how it goes, plan to wait there and get it done, how much ever time it takes

                        • Has Anyone tried shell 10w40 semi-synthetic oil in Unicorn?
                          Is it worth than the oil used in service centers?
                          Also could anyone tell what is the oil grade used in honda service centers.
                          Is it mineral or semi-synthetic oil?

                            I believe Honda now uses 10w30 Mineral Oil. Could anyone pls confirm.

                            I have stopped using Honda Service centers after Free services

                            Shell Advance Semi Synthetic 10W40 (AX7) or Shell AX5 20W40 is working good for 2500 Kms in my Uni.

                              honda was using 20w40 before, now they're using 10w40..both mineral.

                              I've used shell advance 10w40 SS, its good.. now on motul 10w40 SS, its slightly better than shell
