Re: Honda Unicorn Dazzler

I have a question. I have changed my piston and bore in my dazzler after engine oil leak.Should the mileage improve after this change or will it remain the same.
After I got both of them replaced the mileage improved to 52KMPL for the first 1000kms. And as advised by them, I later took the bike to them for valve adjustment. And from them I see a steady decline in my mileage and right now after 2 months the mileage is back to 42 as it was before the piston replacement.

Is this normal or should I be worried about it?

After my engine got seized, for first 1000 kms I was supposed to ride sane. I.e less than 50 kms and no hard revving etc.
I did the same and got upto 55 kmpl fuel efficiency.

After 1000 kms, I started to ride as normal. I.e Rev hard, change gears at 5000 rpm etc.
Now I observe the fuel efficiency to be around 44 to 47 kmpl.

If yours is a similar story, then you don't have to worry.

Repair Dazzler or Buy new bike??? totally confused

Dear All,

To start off, I own a 2011 dazzler in broken state, clocked 50k.

Situation 1: Get my dazzler repaired
Dazzler condition:
1. Drive shaft and clutch plates wore out.
2. Engine drinks half of the oil in about 1000km, black smoke observed (should i change the kit or go in for a rebore)- Mechanic suggesting against it.
3. Front Tyre worn out.
4. If i keep this bike, have to replace seat (aches after 1 hr drive in city), Head light Assy (Vibrates a lot), chain sprocket kit (old one is welded to shaft due to wear)
5. Other small parts like timing chain, seals etc

Honda Estimate: 12k (1,2, sprocket)
Mechanic Estimate: 10k (1,2,4,5)

Situation 2: Buy new bike

Buy a new bike under 1lakh to 1.3 lakh which is
comfortable for a person of 6 feet,
mostly rides in city (700- 1000KM a month),
has decent amount of power
My riding is a little spirited.

Please suggest.

I was in the same situation in February of this year. My bike's engine had seized.
I had to either repair the bike or buy a new one.
Since I did not have enough money at that time, I repaired my bike for a cost of ₹12583.

But now, after 3 months I regret my decision. My bike isn't upto the mark after the repairs. It still has issues.
I have decided to sell my bike and buy RTR 200 for good.

I would suggest you to sell your bike if you have enough money to buy and maintain new bike.

Re: Honda Unicorn Dazzler

I just revived my Dazzler. Installed a new cylinder-block kit ( Hero Xtreme ) as a direct fit. Total damage = approx 7000/- rupees.

How much did your bike run before engine work?

Hi Bhanu,

Thanks for the revert. Guess my dazzler has to be in a running shape till a get a new bike.

Any idea if the drive shaft of Dazzler matches with anyother bike?

Any suggestions for the new bike?

Not much 32k only. It seems the honda oil was the culprit. it becomes like black water after approx 500kms. Now I am using Motul 3100 Gold/ 20w50.

Honda oil is not good for dazzler even more if u ride highways at high speeds , I realized this very early in 2011 shifted to motul 7100, till date the engine is butter smooth even after crossing 52000 kms i recomend this to everyone

No have not tried how is your experience with it?

**Shashank K R** · 06-03-2016, 01:24 AM

Re: Honda Unicorn Dazzler

Motul 3100 Gold comes in 20w50 right? It will make the engine feel sluggish although heat management and gear shifting is better.

Yes it is 20w50, however the mechanic and dealer said it's best oil in this price point.

One question. Can I go for Shell advance Ultra 10w40 or 15w50?

It feels very smooth when newly poured but now after 100kms the butter feel is gone, now the feeling is just normal. I guess I should stick to fully synthetic oils.
