Re: Honda Unicorn Dazzler

The thing here is they won't be having enough time to do test ride service center will be crowded with vehicles here even local mechanic won't be free. They'll only do the things that I tell them to do.

Re: Honda Unicorn Dazzler

If u plan to get it replaced than tell them about the accident and what issue you face, they will test ride your bike and understand and will tell you the solution

Re: Honda Unicorn Dazzler

Ok, Mine has done close to 15,000 Kms. So what I should tell to service center?

Re: Honda Unicorn Dazzler

From service center they will tell u to have it replaced (around 2200), but can be repaired by local mechanic. I got it repaired and costed me around 500 only and no issues at all. My Dazzi runs as she did before.

Re: Honda Unicorn Dazzler

Ok, if it has bent means then what to do?

Re: Honda Unicorn Dazzler

Check the handle T, might have bend

Honda Unicorn Dazzler

Hi Xbhpians, I have a problem with my motorcycle. I have Honda Dazzler deluxe edition. Once my motorcycle had fallen while riding since then my motorcycle wobbles whenever I go on a bad patch of road or on a pothole. What might be the problem? I have got it checked for wheel alignment and wheel balance everything is normal & rear shock absorber is also normal & I also maintain correct air pressure.

Re: Honda Unicorn Dazzler

1 Lakh on a Dazzler, that's fantastic !

Can you please share what engine oils you been using, frequency of change, maintenance regimen with respect to brakes/plug/air filter.

Clutch was replaced at least once in these 1 lakh kms?

Re: Honda Unicorn Dazzler

Hi Guys,

This will be my first post in xbhp (new member). I own a metal gold version of CB Dazzler which is my first bike i purchased on my own after getting job. I agree that the engine is just the best one in 150cc. Being 150cc it has good pickup, good speed and great mileage.

I have a 2012 model, been 6years riding this beauty. I still do over 120kmph without much effort, also with speed over 100kmph it kept holding the mileage of around 45kmpl.

So far most of the parts are stock. Only once i have changed the chain sprocket (from honda) as i do ride little roughly n high speed. Recently i changed both the tires, Front : MRF 90/90/17 and REAR 110/80/17.
I got front size up for better grip which have very little effect on acceleration (since tire size is little heavy than stock size)

I used OEM engine oil (mineral) for first 3years which is good for new engines and than switched to Castrol Power (semi-synthetic) for better performance and engine life. After 5yrs, i now use Motul 7100 (full synthetic) to best engine life. I gotta say, the Motul engine oil is really great to engine life plus full synthetic oils have capacity to run for long KMS with no issues. So the higher price comes down with more km run. If you love your bike n want her to live longer with less issues, spent a little more and give her the best [emoji6]

At the end, i will like to say, we all are proud owners of CB Dazzler and own one of the best 150cc bike.

Ride Safe, Ride Smart, Respect all.

Re: Honda Unicorn Dazzler

Hey guys,

Happy share a fancy milestone after missing the 99999 and 100000 reading. This is my first possession from my first salary in Aug'10. It has never let me down and been for me in my every emotion. Thanks to Honda for bringing such a reliable bike.

Hoping to do the 'big ride' this year.

Happy motoring!!!

Make Honda CB Unicorn Dazzler quieter

I got a 2012 Honda CB Unicorn Dazzler. I want to make it quieter or a better sounding bike at least if it can't be quieter.

What are my options? Should I replace the muffler? If yes, which one is best for it? Or any other changes?

Re: Honda Unicorn Dazzler

Hey guys,

I wanted to write about my ownership experience and current status on my bike and i also wanted to understand your thoughts and suggestions.

Overview:

I own a 2011 November registration Red Dazzler, till date the bike has done 40,000 kms. No modifications made to the vehicle, accident free (had fallen once on a slippery road but only the crash guard seemed to be bent). The bike has, for the most part run on Shell Petrol. Bike has given me a fuel economy of 45KMPL on an average (my riding style is somewhat rash with harsh braking so i guess understandable)


Timeline:

Dec'11 - when i had only done about 400 kms i went on a coastal ride of Konkan which was about 1000 kms, so one can say major run-in was done in ghats/twisty roads. Made sure i didn't cross 50Kmph.

Dec'11 till Jan'13 - Used mostly for Home-Office-Home with short trips around Pune. Did a Goa round trip once.

Jan'13 - Sep'15 I was out of India and had given the bike for occasional riding to a neighbour who by the way maintains bikes very well. And ofcourse, i used it whenever i was in India.

Sep'15 till date - Used extensively to travel in & around Pune as well as a couple of trips within Maharashtra.

Servicing Schedule & management:
Mix of authorized + local mechanics

Major Repairs/Replacements:

Till September 2015:

• Nothing major, had changed rear indicator as someone had broken it. Rest was regular servicing.

Post September 2015:

• Front Tyre changed (2015)
• Chain & chain sprocket replaced (2016)
• Front Disc Pad changed (2016)
• Spark plug replaced (2017)
• Fork Oil changed (2017)
• Engine repair work (1. Engine was knocking and losing power after around 30-40kms of continuous running, mechanic identified timing chain issue 2. Engine was overheating as well for 200 kms before the particular service, issue was, engine oil wasn't reaching all round properly. 3. Engine oil level was dropping to almost 600 ML after about 1000kms of running since servicing but that also seems to be resolved) (2017)
• Battery Replaced (2017)
• Air Filter & Spark plug Replaced (2018)

Engine Oils Used:

• Honda Genuine Mineral (Multiple times and currently in use)
• Unknown (when the bike was with the neighbour but i am guessing Castrol)
• Shell AX7 10W40 Semi Synthetic (Once)
• Motul 7100 10W40 Full Synthetic (Multiple times)
• Motul 5100 15W50 Semi Synthetic (Once)
• Mobil1 10W30 Mineral (Once)
• Mobil Extra 4T 10W40 Semi Synthetic (Once)
• Honda Throttle for CBR 10W30 Full Synthetic (Twice)

In general, my impression is that the engine heats a lot with the OEM 10W30 Mineral oil but thats also the best for this Engine as it performs really well in terms of smoothness, throttle response & FE. Rest of the engine oils, well, Shell oil made the bike very rough with noticeable vibrations. Motul 7100 was OK (didn't find any great difference apart from reduced engine heat) but for the price (850 Rs/Lit & this being a 150CC motor doesn't really justify, for that reason Honda's Throttle (700 rs/Lit) is also expensive. Mobil1 Mineral was excellent but that was sourced from a Drum so dunno where we get it loose.

Overall, i would strongly advise everyone to stick with OEM Mineral 10W30 (Grey plastic container). I would not recommend more expensive ones instead i would say, change this oil every 1000 kms instead of service-to-service (price is around 300rs/lit). Also, i would not compare the Honda 10W30 to be the same as other 10W30's (Technically, 10W30 is too thin & underrated for the temperatures in Indian summers but somehow they have worked it out with the OEM oil, hence do not try other brands of 10W30 grade oil). In that case if you really do not wish to go with the OEM oil then stick to 10W40 (Please avoid Castrol & Shell). Motul is a good option in 10W40 but that grade of oil is really expensive Full Synthetic. There is no semi-synth that i know of for Motul's 10W-40 range. There is a mineral option in Motul but that's 20W40 which is not the same and i wouldn't recommend it.

Current Status:

Just got it serviced over the weekend at a nearby authorized service station and they replaced Spark plug & Air filter. They have strongly advised me to replace the Rear Tyre, Rear brake Disc & Disc pads (an estimate of Rs. 4500). The rear disc is heating a lot within 2-3 kms of running and also has concentric circular markings. I am loosing balance slightly from the rear end when cornering. Since i am planning to keep this bike until Modiji's mandate of full electric vehicles (2030 i believe) i am contemplating replacing the parts asap.

What has been your experience so far? Do you intend to keep the bike for longer or sell it off? Have my expenses been higher than average for this amount of running? What are some of the major problems that arise at higher mileage of 60, 70K's?

Re: Honda Unicorn Dazzler

My Dazzlers average has fallen way down. I see others giving 55-60kms/L, but mine has started to give just 40-42kms/L that too with sane riding.
Guys what do you suggest to get checked?
Year - 2010
Mileage - 45500kms

Re: Honda Unicorn Dazzler

Too late for a reply..
Yes the dazzler is a gem! Its the best 150cc honda except the cbr150 obviously. The engine is an eager free revving Version of normal unicorn.
Mine is almost 7 year.
It came way ahead of its time.
Still unique in many ways, like the only 135kg 150cc bike with a metal tank, gixxer fz hornet all have fibre tank.
I love analog rpm meter and this bike has it.
Right now own a fz25 also.
Trust me the dazzler feels more confident and sharp around corners than my fz25.
Gear box is the sleekest after 2nd gear.
1-N-2 its too annoying and clunky.
The top end is still better than most of the current150cc nakeds.
Does 120 without much effort even today and does 128 with complete tuck down.
Returns 60kmpl if ridden sanely.

Won't sell this beauty!

Re: Honda Unicorn Dazzler

[MENTION=58594]leech[/MENTION] rightly said by [MENTION=85545]Ganesh999[/MENTION] the engine feels at home cruising around 75-85kmph. You can go beyond that too and the engine never lets you down. I've done Vijayawada-Hyderabad-Vijayawada once and was able to cover distance of 100km/hr average maintaining speeds of 100+. So 6 hrs for 600kms and the engine showed no change in the way it beats after that long haul.

Hats of to Honda for the bullet proof reliability.
