    Honda Unicorn monosuspension mods....

    Hi friends,

    I have a 1st gen Honda Unicorn (KS).. The monosuspension seems to be very stiff.

    Did anyone have any idea whether suspension of FZ/R15 fit to Unicorn??

    Any tech details of the mounting points of both suspension.

    Thanks..
    Prashant.

    Rebore + engine head work costed me close to 5000 when the bike was around 37K Kms.

    Now at 48+k Kms, I have left the bike in local garage as it started consuming oil. Culprit seems to be bore again. I will let you know the cost of the current work. Hopefully by weekend.
    Total cost to rebore = 3235

    Piston Lathe Work - 950
    Head Lathe Work - 750
    Head Guide - 400
    Timing Chain - 320
    Packing kit - 120
    Packing paste - 45
    Labor - 650

    Please forgive me as i have not read full Thread. Please help me out whether Honda Unicorn need 1 ltr engine oil or 1.2 ltr. I am not sure about that as some says 1.2 ltr and some says 1 ltr. Some guys/mechanics are saying if only complete dismantling of engine then only use 1.2 ltr otherwise use 1ltr. Please help me out as i even lost my user manual. Also let me know whether Motul Semi synthetic 5100 15w50 is good for weather condition of mumbai for Unicorn (generally recommended 20w40). Please suggest some other options.
    If rightside crankcase is opened, you would need 1.2 L.
    For normal oil change only 900ml is needed, sometimes 1L. Check the oil level using dipstick after pouring in 900ml, add more if not sufficient. The oil level should be between min and max marks.

    Re: Honda Unicorn

    Today My Unicorn (Black Panther) completes 6 Years.

    Kilometers traveled were very less but the memories which I have with my bike cant be explained in words.

    Though I got many situations to sell it, I am not able to.

    Unfortunately, my bike is in local mechanic garage for more than 20 days for a re-boring work.
    Have to blast my mechanic tomorrow and start the run-in of the bike again.
