Re: Honda Unicorn Dazzler

Will installing an ABS on Dazzler help issues with breaking?

Re: Honda Unicorn Dazzler

I went to a different MRF store today and got the 110/80 /17 tyre itself. Costed Rs 2150.

Re: Honda Unicorn Dazzler

Anyone have changed starter relay and what will be cost of it

Re: Honda Unicorn Dazzler

I run on R15 V1's rear tyre on my dazzler (100-80 17) and i have a question on tyre pressure. Is it dependent on the tyre or the bike spec??

Re: Honda Unicorn Dazzler

Best way to improve braking issues is to learn how to brake and panic brake properly. Installing a full fledged computer controlled ABS is close to impossible I feel given the local parts base and knowledge base available.

Still long time back a guy from mumbai xbhp had put in a Bosch Mechanical ABS on his bike. You can search early pages of this thread for more info about him. He claimed it was good - I have zero confidence on that statement.

Many people have gotten it changed in this thread. Its pretty cheap, I think around Rs.150/- but don't quote me on that.

Tyre pressure is generally dependent on tyre and bike weight. Given that the weight of the bike remains the same the general rule is the bigger the tyre the lower the pressure to be filled. The rationale behind this is that pressure is measure in units of force per area. Since larger tyre has more area therefore less force is required to keep that tyre wall at same rigidity.

The stock rear tyre pressure with pillion for Dazzler is 110/80 - 17 = 33 psi
Same for P220 (120/80 - 17) is 32.

I run an upsized 120/80 tyre and ride with pillion 80% of time and I fill 31 psi at the rear because that gives me best ride quality.

For reference a generic bicycle has 100psi tyre pressure and a farm tractor has 20 psi rear tyre pressure.

Good thing is that recommended rear tyre pressure with pillion for both R15 V1 and Dazzler is 33 psi. So I will say stick to that. If you think ride is very hard then go down 1 psi. If you think ride is very soft (with pillion, you can feel this when going over small bumps) then first adjust rear shock preload. If that is at max then go up 1 psi.

Re: Honda Unicorn Dazzler

My next question was to be about tyre pressure and already there is a detailed post about it. But I don't know why the local mechanic shops where we can fill air put 40 psi in the rear tyre. I always tell them to put 25 front 35 rear. But some guys insist on 40 for the rear tyre. And also I keep hearing this thing that filing air in the petrol bunks weakens the tyres and pressure doesn't last longer. Don't know how much of this is true.

Re: Honda Unicorn Dazzler

From my personal experience, I am still running on stock MRFs and they are still going good after >23K km (except for a single puncture in rear tire). I always refill tires from petrol bunks and insist to keep the specified pressure, i.e 25/29 (as I ride single), at times they do argue as they don't like/want to change settings again, but I force them to 'do as I say'.

PS: I have already suffered an accident due to high tire pressure (30/40) PSI, that small negligence could have costed my life.
PPS: Prefer air pumps with digital pressure gauges, where you can easily see pressure settings.

Re: Honda Unicorn Dazzler

Hi all did any one face any issue with clutch bell? Showroom people told me to replace it as it got worn out my bike done only 20k.

Re: Honda Unicorn Dazzler

Hey, My bike has done 12500 kms had given for service some time back to SVC, they say that the from break caliper has gone and needs to be replaced and quote is like Rs 1500+ labor charges. I asked him not to replace and go the bike back with regular service.

How should i check if the caliper has gone. Please help me on this.
Thanks....

Re: Honda Unicorn Dazzler

What problem u r facing with ur break caliper. Post pics of part with problem.

Re: Honda Unicorn Dazzler

40K+ on ODO. I am planning to sell my dazzler considering maintenance costs and the fact that the production of the bike has stopped. What do you think will be the estimated selling price??

Re: Honda Unicorn Dazzler

Hey guys, my honda dazzler has clocked 31000Kms so far and it is 3 and half years old now.

I finally found an amazing service center for my bike. I got to know about it from XBHP itself.
It isnt much expensive as well. I had to pay 1100 INR. (Front disc pad cost is included
Its "Top Gear Honda World" and the owner name is Harsha. The service center is located near Garadi Apartments (Yediyur lake), Bangalore. Ph: +(91)-80-26766178
Most of the bikes that come for servicing here are 1000CC bikes .

I was running on the stock battery till last week :P
I changed it to Exide VRLA xpack. It cost me 1400 INR.

Now I have to change the tyres on my bike.
I have been searching for the stock size but I am not able to get it. Even after one week search I haven't found any who has the stock size.
I am worried about upsizing or downsizing. Is it true that if you downsize there will be air leak problem?

Any suggestions guys?
