    When we turn the key to ON position and press the PASS button - the headlight glows even without starting the Engine. Is this DC or AC?
    PASS is always a DC in all bikes...whether all lights are DC connected or not...

      I stand corrected. It's DC if you can turn on the headlight without starting the engine. The pass light works regardless of whether it's AC or DC.

            Yup the headlight is AC.The high beam or the pass signal is DC for most of the bikes so that no matter at what speed you are you can signal the vehicle infront of you that you are overtakin or signallin the oncoming vehicle...How does the rear shock absorber feel u guys?

                Ya I completely agree with you, headlight is DC when PASS button is used while riding. But without starting the bike, if we just press PASS button the headlight glows. Is this option available in other bikes too? Hope you got my question?

                  yup...this option is there on other bikes too.I mean all present 125cc and above cc bikes have it...100cc bikes I doubt cause they have less powerfull battery!!!

                    I just got a Pearl Siena Red Dazzler(nothing else in stock). I 'm currently using a Silver Unicorn so I'll set out a comparison.
                    Acceleration: At lower speeds and in general the Daz feels faster and even smoother than the Uni. The Daz has a smooth clutch and accelerator encouraging higher speeds.

                    Gearshift: Gotta say that the Uni felt somewhat better because the Daz was a tad bit hard to shift between Gears 1, N and 2, otherwise they are on par.

                    Console: I prefer the digital consoles so for me Daz wins but the quality of the console didnt seem very good(plastics and buttons).

                    Fuel Knob: the Uni has a nice plastic knob to turn on the fuel or switch to reserve. This knob on the Daz is seriously basic and positively primitive.

                    Brakes: The rear brakes are the only difference and I haven't tested them comprehensively but they seem skid prone.

                    On the whole AWESOME, I just wish the design included actual air vents instead of simple outlines along the cowls.

                    I don't think you can compare your used UNicorn with Brand NEW Dazzler.. The gear from 1 to 2 should be stiff when the bike is new... that is what you call it as break in period... the metal has to degrade on its own... for smoother shifting..

                    Since you have been using drum brake.. you will find rear disc skids... Try using ONLY front brake.. You will be surprised how much stopping power does the front disc has...

                      I was also in a big confusion which to choose -FZS or Dazzler. Then I fixed on Dazzler for these reasons
                      - Mileage - I need to ride 25+25km daily in highway to my office. I'm getting 55.7/litre
                      - Highway performance - As my ride is completely on 4 lane highway, no need of low rpm torque of FZ. Also I need a commuter so that no back pain
                      - Looks - Definitely FZ got better looks, but I can adjust with dazzler as I'm not a college going guy(But when a FZS passes in front of me, my heart says why you didn't chose this head turner?. Then I console myself 'looks isn't everything')
                      - New in the market - Everybody got FZ. I need something new. But many of my friends say seeing bike "Ah! you bought a twister?" (Not much difference when looking from a distance).

                      Performance wise there isn't much difference, although cornering and city riding is in favor for FZ. Dazzler got good acceleration, very smooth and quite engine even at high speeds.

                      These are my personal views, no offense for FZ owners. But if there is a mistake please point out.
                      Wise decision and correct approach... Nice to know you picked the bike based on your needs and not cuz of the hype for public...

                              • well i am not that travelogue writer kind and neither do i have enough pictures of all the hurdles i crossed to turn this dream in a reality. But still as people are insisting i will start writing some time soon. Well about my bike..what to say yaar i really love it. I think it was born to be a tourer. The first day of its ownership itself i rode it for 250kms and now this trip. But i think the bike would be loving me even more for showing it such beautiful places. I was never let down by the bike. Power was enough to pull my luggage and me and once i even gave lift to a Local during a climb..the bike had to put a little more effort but even then it was fine.

                                Comfort...I rode it for 15hrs(small breaks for photos and for lunch still riding part must have been 12hrs at least) on one day but still i didnt experience any kind of shoulder/neck/back pain.

                                Mileage was enough..i never felt short of fuel..on the way i even sold 2ltrs of petrol for 150 bucks to a foreigner riding an enfield.
