      I totally agree with you.Dont panic.Let the engine settle down.probably over 2000km or so.and mileage check tyre pressure once a month atleast and chain too.plus yeah using the clutch less.Before 1st service i used to get 56-58km/ltr.1s got 62km/ltr when i was riding purely on highway.But that was on speed between 55 to 60. now after 1st service i'm gettin around 52-55km/ltr while riding aroud 60 to 70.And I just crossed 2000km.

        1) COLD START - After riding a bike for few kms and giving it a rest, every time i had to use choke to start it. Got it rectified after several visit to the honda service center.

        2) Lack of power in the middle of the ride. when riding at a constant speed at times it feels as if fuel supply has been cut off from the engine and within a split of a second it comes back to power. tank is always above the reserve level. idle RPM is 1100. i am using BP speed for my bike.

        3) very hard suspension for both front and the back. while back suspension is set on medium level. i can feel even a smallest of a pothole on the road.

        4) Low Mileage - before first servicing it was giving me a 45kmpl, but after the servicing it is giving me only 40kmpl of mileage.

        5) Sound from the back every time bike hits a pothole. even on hitting a small pothole.

        6) jerk in the handle bar every time i use the front disc brake, noise comes from the rear disc brake.

        guys plzz help me out on the above issues. at time it makes me feel that i have wasted my entire money on it (...
        My Dazzler is about 2 months old now and i too face many problems, many of which are mentioned above.
        1.Cold start. the bike juz wont start. even sumtyms the whole sytem resets.The guys at honda are'nt able to fix it.

        2. very hard suspension. I do feel a bit exhasted ven i ride my dazzler but i used to cover great distances on my frien's unicorn without breaking a sweat. Sumthng is surely wrong in the dazzler, or may its the 'sporty' setup.

        3. Is it just me or does anybody else feel that the bike's swingarm is lose and ven u corner the bike, it seems to wobble around like the rear tyre is lose.

        4.My front disc is not working properly, the braking is not spontaneous.I mean, there is not this swell feeling of stopping, the disc judders and makes noises. the whole bike shakes under hard braking. the guys at honda can never fix the problem as they cant seem to find a fault with it in the first place.

        5.ever since i bought my bike, ther has been a terrbile 'kat kat tak tak' sound from the rear suspension area. sumtimes it get unbearable.

        6.there are an awfull lot of plasticy vibrating noises from the headlight area and sumwhr near the right cowl.

        I hate honda service. they just wont take u seriously enough!!!

          Really sad to hear. My dazzler is 3 months old and have done >3k kms. So far had no problems or whatsoever like you have mentioned above. May be your bike was re assembled in the showroom. Why dont you write this to honda and get it rectified?

            Hello everyone.......
            I am praveen from delhi and got my black dazzler on jnamashtmi (2nd sep) this bike is easily available here..even i got my bike within 1 hour i am a new rider and it is my first bike.......

            I FIND ONLY ONE PROBLEM WITH DAZZLER AND THAT IS......... ITS SPEED METER CONSOLE SHAKES VERY BADLY AND MAKES VIBRATING NOISE WHICH IS SOMETIME EVEN MORE THAN ENGINE SOUND.. HOPE HONDA WILL LOOK AFTER IT......

            • completed my trip:

              riding qualitys is awesome except for the butt soar i havent got issues like shoulder pain and neck strain and backpain which i experienced in my old pulsar for a ride of 100+kms.

              havent checked the top speed i went till 105kmph but it can still go ,as i experienced aiir resistance i feared to cross that speed. till 90kmph i can drive it confidently on highway

              mileage when going riding at speed range of 60-80kmph gave me 50kmpl and while coming it gave me only 40kmpl at speeds ranging from 80-90kmph.

              filled my tyre with nitrogen gas and have checked the tyre pressure now and found it is constant 25 in front and 32 in back and surprised it havent changed after travelling 900kms

              have met a guy with dazzler at vellore and he said he is from coimbatore and the top speed is 130kmph i cant beleive whether he is true or lying.

              my trip got changed at last minute and went from chennai to erode via villupuram-dindivanam- chinna salem-salem-erode 412kmps rode for 11 hours with many stops fearing some engine heat issues while returning changed the route erode-salem-dharmapuri-krishnagiri-vellore-chennai 430kms took only 7hours and 30 minutes (full highway trip) previous route is 205 kms national highway and remaining 150kms state highway and from salem its NH for remaining .

              the engine heat is not a problem i think . i checked a local mechanic at madhuranthagam while going and he said no problem will be there if oil is full and new and asked me to give a break every 100km or 1 and half hour and asked me to check the oil level ever 200km while riding and i checked the oil level and it havent decreased

              i changed the shock absorber myself to soft . the honda guys supplied the dazzler with toolkits and handlebar toolkit is used to change the shocks tension refer to the manual guys for doing it . i have myself changed the shocks tension..

              overall this bike is meant for touring awesome to ride for long distances without any issues
              the tyre is best only in highway and not in gravels it slips a lot in offroad . i am not sure whether it is becoz of n2 gas in my tyre or the tyre quality is like that.

              while returning at some 100kms before chennai i noticed some loosen bolt sound in my bike though unaware where it comes from will check it and will take my bike to svc

              the pick up is awesome even at 90kmph .in state highway where there is no 4 way i overtook 2 lorries and while overtaking a oncoming bus came at fast speed and i raised the throttle and my bike immediately went passed 100 and i overtook with ease

                man the sound is from the toolkit u placed beneath the seat . i too had that sound but found its the toolkit that makes noise while hitting a pathhole.even a person who gave his dazzler for service when i gave, had the same and i asked him to check it removing the toolkit and problem is solved

                  • Tubeless tyres

                    Can anyone tell me about tubeless tyres?

                    Do they have tubes or not?

                    How should i fill air in the tyres?

                    Please help - i haven't checked my dazzler's air pressure for past one month.

                    • Is it just my bike or the Dazzler makes a lot of vibrations that can be felt on your thighs while riding?

                        Ya i had that sound too..first i thought backlight assembly was the culprit but i removed the toolkit and it was solved.

                        Recently i parked the bike on side stand over over some loose soil and it overturned. I came back only after an hour and found the bike kissing the ground. On first inspection damage seemed to be only external...the mid panel with CBUnicorn Dazzler Sticker got scratched a bit. When i rode the bike initially it was fine but whenever i pulled the throttle a bit more, bike used to lose breath as if there was no fuel going in the supply. Went to service centre and got it checked..guy told me oil from somewhere had entered the filter and clogged it. He told me though cleaning would help but a new one would be better . Set me back by 139 bucks.

                          hey shareef..the problems u have mentioned is found in most of the dazzlers on road and few of the are basic and are straight away ignored by the honda service staff..they say "its a new bike there will be few problems" and leave those problems unattended....

                          even i have felt my bike wobbling at high speed i.e. above 50km/hr if it hits a pothole it starts to wobble although its controllable but its very annoying at times....

                          my front disc also shows similar behavior to that of yours....

                          looks like I've to complain it on the Honda website to get my never ending problems rectified...there is no use of visiting service center as they'll not do anything....since the purchase of bike I've visited service center thrice with more or less similar problems with no positive outcomes.....
