Guys cant the carb be tuned till the 4th service?? Coz I have recently serviced my uni (3rd) and I was personally there along with the mechanic..while he removed the spark plug, it was whitish..so i presume that the mixture was lean(meant for mileage) I asked him to tune the card so that there would be a balanced mixture..but he said it will be locked untill the 4th service , it is done so that the carbon can be accumulated...is it true??

and I have this problem in my uni..while shifting from 3rd to 2nd ..I find it a bit hard..I depress the clutch for 1.5/2 secs and then slowly shift it down..do any of you guys have a similar problem??..I asked the mechanic to check hit but he says its perfectly alright what to do???

Guys sold off CBZ X & bought honda unicorn....proud to be the wing rider....


hope to get lots of tips from all of you....

Welcome to the group buddy nd congrats post some pics of the beauty, what difference do you notice from the cbz apart from the refined engine? :-P

i'll definitely post some pics later.....i'm yet to do some job to make it new....:P :P

apart from refined engine i felt almost zero vibration till 8k rpm...thats the max i revved.
Front brake is same, but rear is better....
Handling is slightly better
I thought cornering is superb on CBZ X but in case of unicorn its too better...requires almost no effort....
pick up was definitely better in cbz x....
but unicorn doesnt have slow pick up as people used to say....but wind resistance is very less,no vibration feeling gives the rider a feeling that its going slower unless one looks at the speedometer....

thats it....i yet to ride it more to know it more....

u got it used huh? which model and what price?

yup i bought an used unicorn....with the money that i got by selling off my cbz x.
its the model that was released before the CB unicorn....color black...

can you tell me whats the default carb setting of unicorn. i mean how many anticlockwise turns does it need from full close?? i really need this info....

Sorry bro don know dat much detail about the bike, i jus bought my 05 uni 3 weeks ago, my first geared bike so still learning about it

Mileage

Guys!

Have some problem with my uni , not exactly a problem..but I just need some info..Gear shifting : at which rpm u guys usually shift the gears??..I do it at 4-4.5, some times at 5..for which I get a mileage of 48-50..

I love riding my uni after my office..there is this road for a stretch of 4kms..where i rip my uni till 100-110..and I seem to have a drastic mileage drop..so, I wasnt sure whether someone fiddled with my petrol / it was bcoz of my ride..went today to AHS and got my uni checked up..he did a test drive and according to that it was giving 60kmpl! WTF :O..i was shocked..but the way he rode it was completely different..he was changing gears at very less rpm..and riding at speeds just above where the engine doesnt make noise!..I asked him to let me ride.so that he will know the way I ride it and was shifting at 4.5 and using engine breaking while downshifting ( did not blip while downshifting)..he even changed the idle rpm to around 1..while it was supposed to be somewhere around 1.4..contradiction!..

The point is do I have to ride like he did to attain such mileage..at a point, I felt I was riding the right way and pretty happy about it..but now I'm confused!

upshift at about 3.5- 4.0 Rpm and dont drag the bike at any gear less than 2.5rpm, dont do engine braking and you should be getting a good mileage.

Have a look HERE,cheap pads are available at eBay!


Will engine braking reduces mileage?

yea i think so :P
and 900 bucks is not cheap for a piece of rubber, i was expectin about 200 bucks

and can a uni owner temme if theres any padding or something between the rear reflector and the mudguard which keeps the tail lamp in proper position?

Hi. I too have a 20 months old Uni.. When i ripped my bike the mileage dropped to 32. The max speed was just above 115.. Now i have not driven my bike past 70 for the past 3 months.

Shifting gears at low RPMs and also trying to ride at the lowest possible RPM in the top gear.. Currently getting a mileage of 55-58 all week long.. Try not to rip your bike daily.. Not using Unicorn often these days as i Rewarded Myself with a Suzuki..
