      Re: Honda Unicorn 160

      Drive in period is before 1st servicing.
      I also prefer to use kick start in morning. But most of times in hurry I unintentionally use self.

        near the gear shift pedal there are 4 tubes which are bundled together.and from one of them i can see small amoint of oil leaking.

        which oil is this and what is the reason for this leak??

          I'm not sure what is it, but I've also experienced that leakage. It went away after 2-3 days. I thought it must have been petrol because I filled in a full tank of petrol, and where I parked the bike there was an abnormal slope.

            In those 4 pipes grey colour pipe is coming from petrol tank, you can see the hole beside inlet nozzle. If bike is parked in direct sunlight or any hot place, petrol gets evaporated and comes through the air pipe.

                Re: Honda Unicorn 160

                No need to worry. Shift at 4k RPM. I remember shifting at 15, 25, 40, 50.

                BTW does your 160 have the body color panels? Do post pics of your bike.😁

                  the oil leaks at night also.
                  and it is the broader black tube from which the leaking occurs.
                  what should i do?

                    What does the oil look like? A picture would be good.

                      Re: Honda Unicorn 160

                      the floor where i park is black so a pic wont be of much help and also the leakage is small

                      guys is there any chance that the leaking oil is engine oil??
                      also m not so sure which of the 4 tubes is leaking.
                      btw where are those tubes coming from??

                        Won't be oil. Maybe excess petrol from the tank or water from somewhere.

                            guys i have a few questions

                            1)the front wheel does not rotate freely when the bike is on stant, whereas the rear does.whats the issue?

                            2)the kick start does not work most of the time.sometimes it just works first time only but mostly i have to use it 3-4 times to start the bike.

                                1. because of disc brakes wheel doesn't rotate freely.

                                2. My unicorn 160 does the same when its new. Now 5.5k on odo it mostly starts in 2nd kick. And use only Honda Mineral Oil only.
