    OEM brake pads cost ₹360 or ₹365 a pair.

    970? Never spent that much. Don't remember how much the OEM costs but it wasn't that much. A seeco set seems to cost 105 and a nikavi 299 on amazon. Any idea on those? Looking at replacing them soon.

    About the brakes, I probably have changed the drum pads thrice in 11 yrs but the disc pads almost every year or a bit more than that. The OEM drum pads really last a very long time.

    Regarding sponge feel, see if the drum itself have worn out (not the brake pads)
    If yes then drum needs to be replaced. Is it CBS version? Then check for the air bubble inside the brake oil tube

    Speedo meter is connected with a steel cable that turns as wheel turns. It is in turn connected to worm/gear at both wheel and meter ends. So it makes noise of its worn out or misaligned.

    Hi,

    I don't know this problem has been discussed here before, I did some search before posting but couldn't find anything relevant so posting one.

    My Honda CB Unicorn 150(2009 Model) gives a whining sound while riding, but never gives the same sound when bike is in neutral. When the bike is in neutral, how much hard I rev the engine, I can't here the noise. But while riding after crossing 3000 rpm in any gear it gives a whining sound. I can here the same noise in other old unicorns as well(new unicorn never gives that sound).

    When I checked with local mechanics, one guy said that sound is coming from clutch plate, it needs to be replaced. Another guy said, it coming from the meter, if we service the meter whining sound will be gone.

    Any thought on this guys. Thanks in advance

    No, but it affects the throttle response and can stall the bike at a few points where you lose the cranking. At times you'll need to throttle up a bit when kicking or using the self start.

    Your engine is running fine, there seems to be no oil entering the combustion chamber which is a major indicator of engine health.

    Do suspect the condition of your carburetors vacuum piston as a seized slide can cause the motorcycle to run lean at open throttle positions resulting in the lack of pull when accelerating.
