      I've seen a lot of white unicorns here in Bangalore, some with aweful paint jobs and some done better than stock paint.

                  Hi all, I am using Honda unicorn which is four years old and run 22k kms. I got it recently second hand from my friend. The bike was riding well for two weeks till I filled air in a petrol bunk. The suspension got bad and I started to get neck pain. I serviced the bike, again the problem disappeared till I filled air next time. I went to the asc this time to fill air 25 in the front and 29 in the rear, still of no use. They also changed the setting to soft, after which I got back pain too. Pls help me guys should I change anything.will buying a new suspension help? Can you pls help me to find the root cause of this issue.

                    My uni is 2 yrs old but still after driving 80 to 100 kms i feel back pain
                    It must be noted that its a stiff suspension and it works well when there is a pillion otherwise it remains stiff so if u r expiriencing back pain on longer drives its not a problem of bike but its body which is not suited for longer drives
                    This is my view let other users give feedback

                      Thanks asn for the swift reply. But
                      the thing is when I got it after service, the suspension was fine on potholes and broken roads which are normal in Bangalore. But after filling air, the suspension has become bad and gives neck and back pain. I am not able to diagnose the issue. Is it because during service they would adjust or clean the suspension. What made it to work fine that time, am not sure.

                        Filling air has nothing to do with suspension, and 29psi is less if in case you ride with a pillion. You may need time to adjust to the bike, since the suspension is already set to soft and its a fairly new bike then changing it wouldn't matter, my bike is 10 years old and the suspension is still fine. Try getting an extra cushion layer for your seat to see if it helps.

                          Thanks for the reply. I will change the rear suspension and try putting extra cushion and see if it helps. Another problem I face with the bike is, the gear shift. In the second and third gears, the vehicle is not running smoothly and there is some rubbing or jerking in the wheels. The transition from fourth to third or fifth to fourth is not smooth. Means the gear shift is hard and also not smooth. Pls tell me what should be done.

                          Sand pls suggest a good local mechanic neamarathahalli or Whitefield area. Thanks
