do you all think the speedo is trusty?
there are inbuilt errors i guess
so 120 or 125kmph may not be 110 n 115 i guess even

By peppier i meant revv happy, otherwise 1-2-3g uni's are undoubtedly fasterOriginally posted by MavericK46 View PostErrr.. Actually its the other way round
The spoke-wheel shod Uni's are quicker every which way as they are 7-8 kilos lighter than the alloy-wheel versions.
Also, Im told by Joel saar that the current iteration runs a smaller main-jet for better FE. Hence, the 4th gen bikes are far more refined and probably have better FE. But unfortunately, are also considerably slower than the first and second gen bikes thanks to the weight gain and the miserly main-jet.
Love the added refinement and the spruced up looks though.

^^Thats true, Ill give you that. The smoother engine makes you wanna use more revs although you certainly do need more with that extra weight from the alloys
How's your Uni doing btw?
Ive to drop her off for service tomorrow. Dad's complaining of increased engine noise and harshness.
An oil change, chain lubing oughta get the Uni back upto speed methinks...I'm normally not a praying man, but if you're up there, please save me Superman.

Gents, my brand new unicorn done 34 kms yet cuts off the engine below 1500 RPM (I am guessing the figure) but in first gear if I do not keep it slightly revved it turns off easily and I have to restart. Can anyone tell me what the problem could be or it will solve after 1st service after some adjustment.Comment

well, i trust my speedo cause my frnd was behind on a rtr at 115 while i was moving away at the 120+...so i guess according to u all bikes in india have a -15~20 kmph error...Originally posted by outworldly maniac View Postdo you all think the speedo is trusty?

i have put my uni to all sorts of abuse- burnouts,wheeles,high speed runs for more than an hour twice almot thrice a week,arnd 15 crashes(3majour),did some engine work(head,piston rings,syn's, plati plugs,k&n,jets) and now after 50k (starting from 47k),i feel that it is making a bit of niose,but i guess i'll take her upto 60k...Originally posted by azote4dsx View PostHow long ill da unicorn run if da bike is maintained properly?

@Saif: Good to know that your Uni is doing great man. I wouldn't have expected anything less
@Almond: What's the idling rpm when the engine is cold (First start in the morning or starting the bike after the bike's been stationary for 4-5 hours)?I'm normally not a praying man, but if you're up there, please save me Superman.

may be i exaggerated the differenceOriginally posted by Dogg View Postwell, i trust my speedo cause my frnd was behind on a rtr at 115 while i was moving away at the 120+...so i guess according to u all bikes in india have a -15~20 kmph error... but no ways i meant that
well yes i have heard all stock speedo's have some error
can be of 1kmph also ...... but they have it......... that is why people use speed guns!!!!
and i doubted it because honda tells that uni has a top speed of 101kmph
so i tht how cud it go till that
may be by top speed they meant at which u can ride safely
dont know thouHope is a good thing ,
may be the best of things and

i actually reported this to the honda ppl,so they called back and told that it was publication error,meant to be printed as 111kmph...Originally posted by outworldly maniac View Postmay be i exaggerated the difference but no ways i meant that

Mav, idling at first start in the morning is between 1000 & 1200 rpm for the first few minutes.Originally posted by MavericK46 View Post
henceforth, the idling rpm settles at 1200.Comment

Thats what's leading to the engine turning itself off at lower revs man
All bikes come from the factory tuned very lean. That coupled with the extremely low idling rpm is choking the bike at lower revs.
That would be set right at the first service.
If you know which the idling screw is (Look to the manual), bump up the idling to about 1200 revs (cold). That oughta solve your problem mate...I'm normally not a praying man, but if you're up there, please save me Superman.

Wow synthetic oil does wondersOriginally posted by Dogg View Postbro i did a 122 with a pivot rider on the stock uni with motul 300v,ngk platinum sp...
and reached 125 with a k&n and some big a$$ main and slow jets...
and abt the 4th gen being quicker,who said that???
i outran each and every 4th gen uni with my 1st gen which i did not even change the cluthch plates even after 50K...
thats what all my mech's say,that the 1st gens are quicker...
and just yesterday,there was this guy on a new uni,he was almost in the mid rpms in the fifth,when i changed to 5th and flew by him..(he was desperately trying to catch me up,so i gave a chance but he could not,so i flew off..).I have seen it myself in my CBZ did 125Km/hr @ 9600RPM
.The reason i asked the ? is on the highway i easily overtake the new unicorns they fail to keep up with the xtreme even though they r the same.But i admit i run on synthetic oil.I have seen unicorns with 96000kms on odo running on stock pistons and still going strong,man is this a bike or a tank
.As far as unicorns and xtremes overtaking an RTR -hahahaha no chance

The owner's manual recommends idling RPM at 1400.Originally posted by MavericK46 View PostThats what's leading to the engine turning itself off at lower revs man
