@ 1 & 2 -- As your odo meter reading it too early for kaput of clutch Plats.
U should check ur clutch cable as it is not properly adjusted .

@ 3. Stall of ur engine is due to ur improper a/f ratio. Try to adjust it as described by sibun in cbz extreme thread.

Re: Honda Unicorn Dazzler

Yesterday while riding in city conditions following were the problems encountered
1)I could not shift to Neutral the gear is shifting from 1st-2nd-1st but not on neutral
2)Also noticed while depressing the clutch lever fully I still felt like the bike is just about to go ahead (the feeling of initiation of movement)
3)RPM was not stable. Suppose RPM was at 1300, then comes down to 1200 hangs on there then further reduces and the motorcycle stops.
I used Mobil1 semi-synth oil and now changed to Shell AX-7 since then bike has rum for about 100 odd kms with no problems.
Regarding points 1&2 is my clutch gone and time to replace???
Bike has done 18xxx Kms, I am facing this problem for the first time.

Re: Honda Unicorn Dazzler

I have done 37k with my dazzler and have already changed my back tyre to the stock Zapper C last week. I cannot find stock Zapper FQ in Chennai but have dealers who have Zapper FS for my front.

My question is can I replace my front tyre with Zapper FY of R15 old version because I heard it has excellent grip and way better than FS. My concerns are
i) What will be the lifetime of the tyre. Heard it wears of a little early. Is it worth a replacement
ii) Also, the stock size is 80/100 and the Zapper FY is 80/90. What chagnes would I be experiencing if I change my tyre.

Re: Honda Unicorn Dazzler

I am sharing my experience on coil rewinding , I got the coil rewound from R D Motovil from west bengal (Mr Rohit) he took six months to deliver the coil citing non availability of the new coil at his end which finally i sent him from mumbai , he said that it is simple to fix and any mechanic will manage to do it , when it came we fixed it as per instructions given by him on phone ( there was no instruction paper as promised) he had also said that it was plug and play which actually it was not we had to cut some wires to fix it as the sockets did not match, finally after various tries and blowing 3 bulbs it was fixed , within half an hour the battery got discharged , and we all know what a nightmare that can be for a bike that does not have a kick start , so after a lot of frustration i removed this piece of crap and re fixed the original in the bargain i damaged my clock & the rpm needle stops mid way when i switch off the ignition
My advice to you will be not to play with the electricals of dazzler as it very delicate and road side mechanics struggle with it to solve any problems. if you find the light low invest in a pair of led fog lights it is a better solution that rewinding.
This is my personal experience on offense intended

Re: Honda Unicorn Dazzler

Can coil rewinding and dc-conversion be done on my dazzler at home ? Or is it wiser to get it done from a mechanic ?
I wish to install a projector with a 55/60w bulb. The stock bulb sucks.
If there already is a post regarding coil rewinding and dc-conversion of dazzler, then please give me the link to it. That would be very grateful of you.
Thanks in advance...

Re: Honda Unicorn Dazzler

this is the main reason i dont leave anyof my rides,cars at SVC...

Re: Honda Unicorn Dazzler

That makes a lot of difference in the service provided, I too do the same
If you just leave the bike they will keep delaying the service, I think I have mentioned before too that the service centre mechanics use the bikes to go out lunch and ride rash I have seen this and also a case where the scooter is missing from their premises...

Re: Honda Unicorn Dazzler

i stay in the servicing bay for each and every servicing and every work small or big...
catch it.. build a good rapport with them.. you'd be treated like a king then...

Re: Honda Unicorn Dazzler

Hey Guys, Rituraj Here. Wasn't much active on the forum till now. However, gonna change that.

Will post it soon. Thanks.

Re: Honda Unicorn Dazzler

Hi All,

This issue with choke and carburetor just reminded me of my bike's problem.
I just observed that when I use choke there is a thin spray of black oil from the exhaust. It never happens without choke.
Is it some trouble for me. I only ride on weekends, that too some weekends (on the average 4-5 days in a month, not uniformly distributed)
Total distance covered in last 7 months is only ~250kms as compared to ~19.7K kms in first ~1.5 years
The bike is timely serviced irrespective of the usage.
I am also experiencing comparatively low mileage now days. (may be a drop of 5-8Kms)

Any suggestion is most appreciated.

Thanks

Re: Honda Unicorn Dazzler

Yes you are right as in carburettor engines only it happens. It happens only when excess fuel is entering the combustion chamber and engine is hot. Fi will never have dieseling for the simple reason that they do not flood the engine with excess fuel.

Re: Honda Unicorn Dazzler

Dieseling or engine run-on mostly happens on carburetted engines, a hot spot inside the cylinder will starts combustion, most of the advance vehicles are fitted with Fi and ecu monitoring system, the injectors and high bar fuel pump terminates the supply to the engine as soon as the ignition is switched off,dieseling can even occur in diesel engines.

your replies help us learn more

Re: Honda Unicorn Dazzler

I knew that i was more than 100% right. Because when i give a solution to a problem i do a lot of calculations and test the different things that can cause the problem. After eliminating all the possibilties one by one i give the last thing that comes out and it would be the exact cause. I was just waiting for your reply if your problem was solved or not.

Dieseling phenomenon is caused when the engine is flooded with excess fuel. It is then that the fuel ignites by heat and engine compression and thus engine revs do not come down even when throttle is closed.

Daily use of choke keeps the cable and piston alright but it will eventually fail. the reason for this is that modern day bikes come with choke mostly in left switch console or near the handle bar. So when we wash the bike or ride in rain this will eventually start dripping water through the cable over time. This causes the cable and choke piston to rust with time. Nothing can be done except changing the cable after two monsoons.

Re: Honda Unicorn Dazzler

Nice catch there sibun

Any suggestion to prevent 'dieseling' phenomenon?
Does daily usage of choke for morning startups keep choke's piston/cable in right condition?

SVC mechanic once said to me to not stop using choke(use when necessary without fail), otherwise it may render useless eventually.
