      I don't think anything would have broken. Just a small adjustment maybe.

        the asc guys fixed the problem.
        i asked them to top up the brake oil as it was low and he used a red color oil whereas the previous one was yellow in color.
        how is the new brake oil different.btw it was DOT3 only but why the color change?

          Maybe he used a different brand than the one which comes from the factory.

            yeah.
            does mixing two oils create any problems?and it was also not from a sealed bottle.

                Don't know which engine oil they are using for Unicorn. But using other oil than specified by the company will void the warranty.

                  They use Honda Mineral oil 10w30. It will void warranty if they know that you changed the oil.

                    should i service the bike within 30 days or ride till 500 km?
                    the odo reading is 300 km till today and also the service manual says to service within 30 days or 1000 km.

                      It's better you give it because the service people might use the second service coupon if you're too late... Unless you know them personally,in which case you can delay the service

                        I am getting some extra harsh sound from engine.. but in the morning (actually afternoon) it runs fine... when I checked the engine oil level it was almost at the lower level of the dip stick... like 2-3 mm above the line... should I top up engine oil immediately... or can I wait for 2 more days, about 100 km... oil color looks okay... not sure if the harsh sound is due to less oil.. the sound usually comes during night ride..

                          I think it's fine. That harsh sound comes after you ride in heavy (very heavy) traffic for 15-30 mins.

                          How many kms have you covered so far on this oil?

                              ASC guys are asking for Engine flush and decarbonisation. . It has done only 12000 km and is only year old.. does my bike need this? I change engine oil regularly every 2000 to 2500 kms

                                It's not required.
