How in the hell did you know exact problem ! Awesome ! my mechanic did just that and he said valve must have jammed due to low temperature and non running but the oil he poured is giving me smoke he said smoke will be coming out for sometime ! Is it ok ? -
Re: Honda Unicorn
Remove the sparkplug, pour some oil, try to push start in all gears until you get the compression back.Leave a comment:

Re: Honda Unicorn
It could be stuck valve issue, which I've read in this forum happening with Hero/Honda engines. Try cranking the engine continuously using starter when this happens.Originally posted by asn39 View Postok chain HAS BEEN very dirty sludgy and all kind of deposits found i might just remove chain cover and use any TOOTHBRUSH
SCARY INCIDENT HAPPENED I WAS DRIVING BIKE AS USUAL AND I PUSHED 2nd GEAR AND BIKE WENT FEW METERS AWAY AND SUDDENLY DEAD !!!

Service center people don't clean the chain in general service(I've never seen chain cleaning for unicorn besides waterwash).
Why can't you clean the chain by yourself? There are a lot of threads in DIY section.

Re: Honda Unicorn
A bit of dirty chain won't cause hard gear shifts, but tight chain can.Originally posted by asn39 View Posti checked silencer thoroughly there were no deposits but mu finger got black when i inserted into silencer hopefully its normal ?
besides yes i start the bike in enclosed area and about spark plug i shall check soon thank you
besides my gear shifting is still hard from 1st to 2nd gear even after 2 years
does it mean service centres never cleaned the chain ?
Check your chain slack and ensure it has enough slack as mentioned in manual.
Check clutch setting, again, leave enough play on the gear lever as mentioned in manual.
And, if you are revving hard in first gear, then it may result in hard/noisy gear shifts.Leave a comment:

Re: Honda Unicorn
Are you starting the bike in enclosed area? If it is definitely "burning" smell take a look at the spark plug for any oil deposits, insert your finger at the silencer tip and check for gummy residue. Change the airfilter and tune the carburetor and see if the smell goes aways.Use Mobil Delvac 1300/1400 I am very much satisfied with this oil in my Unicorn.Originally posted by asn39 View Postkind of burning mostly through silencer i only feel while i start the bile first time only i think il try changing oil first
then oil filter and air filter also as air filter is also spoiled and i never changed oil filter beforeLeave a comment:

Thank you Sir,Originally posted by Jith_in View Post
I took help of my local Mechanic. In Lathe, I was charged 150 RS for both sides.
Mechanic asked 100 RS as labor and also adjusted tappet which was making much noise.
Now the bike is running smooth as before in the 60KMPH mark.
Speedo @ 44444.4 KM during my travel to office on Monday. Also Completed 5 years with Unicorn.

Thanks for sharing - I thought the 150cc from Honda is incapable for crossing 1 lac in Indian conditions (have not heard any till this one). But regular service and not-abusing can make this gem cross a lac easily
. Eterno had a Honda recommended oil change interval of 3000 kms - this is an ideal change interval for mineral oils.
And in general, the bikes that cross a lac easily on their odometers are usually the ones that have a minimum of 100-150 kms per day running, i.e., people who take them to work under highway-ish conditions. Highway running is less stressful for the bike (?) compared to constant stop-and-go city traffic. We can also observe that these mile munchers spend less on spares - for example if one uses the brake 10 times in 1 km in the city, the same is used one once every 10 kms on a free highway. The battery too is sufficiently charged to keep it ticking very long.Leave a comment:

Re: Honda Unicorn
I had a talk with a mechanic he said its a TAPPET noise and on checking oil he said it has become too thin so that might be one reason for roughness and besides HE ALSO SUGGESTED if you are not going to drive for few months don't do it now do it at later when u plan to ride regularlyOriginally posted by raja1982 View Post
I WAS SURPRISED TO SEE THE TAPPET WORD FROM somebody locals mouth
Anyway be patient ill be updating about issue but only after may

Re: Honda Unicorn
I recently spoke to a guy who had brought his 2006 unicorn for a complete engine rebuild. I was shocked to see the odo reading of 32k km. Upon asking him why he had needed to do an engine rebuild at such low kms, he replied that the actual reading should be 1,35,000km!!! He had run 3000km with broken speedo cable. He had also never gone for a rebore. My mind was blown as the highest odo reading I had seen on a uni was around 75k or 80k kms and even that bike had gone for a rebore at 60k kms. This guy was a medical rep and said he covered almost 150 to 200 kms a day travelling between Kochi and thrissur. He mentioned he changed the engine oil every 2000-2500km and had initially used 10w30 but started using 20w40 from past 2 years. p.s his engine rebuild cost 22k in parts and labour. Done at johns Honda, thrissurOriginally posted by ashwanth.r View PostLast edited by windrider007; 03-18-2015, 10:40 PM.Leave a comment:
