First of all, thanks for the pics. My bad, that I have missed your previously posted pics. Now about your query (It's purely as per my experience) -
First of all give choke for 15-20 secs, and kick start the bike (do not close the choke), and don't use self start (else, it will just hamper the carbon of your self start and it's longivity). Give few throttle and now close the choke. Again give few throttle, say for 20-30 secs more (but try not to exceed more than 4K rpm). It will now heat up the engine, and the bike will become idle. If still the problem persist. Then you have to tune your bike properly. Tune your bike when the engine is cold (if it's necessary).

Caution: Do not drive your bike with the open choke. Don't forget to close it.

Have a happy and safe riding buddy

After first 500 kms you can cruise upto 60kmph but dont go over it till first 1000 kms. You can grdually increase speed but dont try going max speed before 2000 kms. If you are still under 500 kms then dont go over 50 kmph or 4k rpm.

Hi Puneet. As per my personal experience, try to stick to 50-55 Km/Ph, even after 1st service. It will longer your bike's engine life. After 2nd service maintain max 65. I am not a mechanical engineer (I am a software engineer

though), but I realised that it keeps the engine much smooth. As for better light, cosgeo99 has already suggested me about the philips 60-55w bulb as he is using it on his Uni. But I haven't tried yet (haven't got time to search for). You may go for that, and can check the result or chat with cosgeo99 for his experience with the light upgrade. Safe riding.

Hi all

Got my bike tuned from the service center , its giving me around 58 Km/l now . Happy Unicorn owner again . Took some photos also will update by evening .

**MavericK46** · 12-05-2008, 11:34 AM

Could we please get past the Unicorn's fuel efficiency as a moot point in this thread..?
People shyed away from the Uni before the styling update due to this very feature of most Uni owners : 'Tis a commuter oriented 'mileage' bike..

Lets try and discuss aspects of this bike that us owners know about.
For example..
The handling of this machine is exemplary for its class.
It truly has to be experienced to be believed. One ride to your favourite set of twisties and you'll forgive the lack of horses in the Honda mill.

Im not flaming or blaming anyone over here. All im suggesting is that, we gotta make this ownership thread move beyond fuel averages and fuel average enhancing tips

Cheers..!!
