  • 90/100 bulb

    can i use 90/100 bulb for my Unicorn???It is selfstart second version

    Comment


    • Few questions

      I'm getting a new CB Unicorn in next few days. I know its old and common but I just love it. I found it more comfortable than any other bike in 150cc segment.

      This is my first bike so I'm not aware of many things yet. I wanted to ask few things before I get my bike:

      1) Is there anything that I can do while doing paper work and getting its delivery? I mean any precautions? Anything worth asking/looking for?

      2) I've gone through many threads on xBhp. I came across a lot of different oils and types. I'm confused which one should I go for? Which one is better for Unicorn?

      3) Also I'm confused about running-in period of engine? What are the speeds I should maintain?

            • I called in to 2-3 showrooms of Honda here in Mumbai, one showroom have stopped booking of Unicorn as the waiting period have gone beyond 10 months! Second showroom says 5-6 months of waiting period, thats crazy!

                I recommend going for 60/55W at max or simply get a HID(though expensive)..
                Putting a 100/90 bulb would drain the battery very frequently+ the heat it generrates could be harmful to the reflecting surface of the headlamp assembly..
                (great if you can get atleast a 9 ah battery for 60/55 also. Works great)

                    1) No precautions just check if ur bike has any scraches, also check accessories, the indicators, high beam low beam, horn.
                    check for any brake fluid leaks. Start the engine and don't allow the rpm to go beyond 4-5K even on idle
                    paperwork: if u r doing the payment upfront then i don't think thr shud b any problems, as for the registation card i am sure u'll see the details properly.

                    2) I wudn't recommend u any other oil other than the prescribed Honda Oil for atleast 4 services that wud be roughly 10K kms

                    3) This is what i did, first 500 kms(first service) did not exceed 60kmph and 4K rpm, i got FE of 51 till my first service and roughy 58 after that and i normally ride in the range of 50-70kmph. be gentle to it it will take some time to adjust to the new bike.

                    Happy riding and congratulations on your new bike.

                      tis i think is bcoz they want to clear the ready Dazzler units first.

                              • hi,
                                guys.
                                After reading the whole thread i like to share my opinion.
                                I have used all bikes around hero honda to bajaj around 9 bikes ,Now i have purchased a second hand bike Honda unicorn 2009 model (Black) color.One thing i can say is honda unicorn is the best in it's class as no noise in engine,Handling very good.Average is also good .It easly touches 100 speed within no time.Very comfortable in very rough roads.I think all together very good bike made by honda.
