[Resolved] Honda Unicorn — Sounds in Chain box. | |
Hi, After servicing my bike for the fifth time it had started making sounds in chain box. These sounds are irretating and killing the joy of ride. I took bike to showroom(LB Nagar Ring Road, Hyderabad) to get it fixed. They said that this problem is common in these(Unicorn & Shine) bikes and adjusted chain which did not work. Even after trying for four times in two months problem is still there, I have even serviced bike thinking that it will rectify the problem. I want to know whether the problem is really there in all Unicorn bikes or only in my bike. Can it be fixed and how. Except these sounds this bike is superb in every aspect. Even I am getting decent milage i.e around 58 in city drive. Thanks & Regards Omkar Neti Was this information helpful? | |

Chain sprocket wheel is worn out, although you can't see it through naked eyes, it gets worn out by micrometers or millimeters. Change your rear chain sprocket wheel, ask the servicing station for the sprocket wheel and fit them yourselves or a let a mechanic do it. It may cost max. around 900 to 1000 Rs.

yes my bike also have the same problem
hi,
I too agree with the sound that come out from the chain drive, it is not just a sound its an extra horn fitted to my bike, so many times the sound makes me to turn back in panic to what is that, later i used to that noise . I lubricate the chain for every 1000km and also tight it as mentioned in the bike manual, but even then the sound did not stop . The sound is occurring only at low speeds >35km/hr that too in 1st 2nd and 3rd gears.
at high speeds it is cool and hot riding. I am also getting some sound in the back brake
how to solve this two problems? is there any to help me out.
thanks

i am facing the same problem. At 1st and 2nd gear at low speeds this knocking sound is heard. This is very irritating. how can i solve this problem???? Can i install a chain drive like apache, avenger or a pulsar 180, 200, or 220 which have open chained drive.???
Hi All,
the exact problem exists n my bike too - Unicorn 2009 model.
I experience this sound when i'm riding single and immediately after taking a left turn (some times immeidiately after a right turn)
I hv not heard of any such problems on Shine though. I checked with a local garage and the conclusion given was that unlike all other bikes wic had 120-125 links in the chain Unicorn has 146 chain links wic is much much higher and thus the chances of such sounds are found most in UNICORN. I also got the magwheel bearings replaced with new ones but ultimately nothings payed for my problem.

Yes, I was having Hero Honda Splendor for past 9 years, I did not have any problem such as Chain, Mudguard striking the chain during light loose condition. But in my Honda Shine, after a purchase period of One and half years I received the same chain loose problem which started shearing and rubbing with chain and chain guard and during my crucial travel along with my family to catch train, the vehicle got strucked up and I could not proceed further. then I stopped my vehicle and took Auto rickshaw to reach Railway station. After my return I found my chain got cut into two halves, I was really shocked to see this.
This is a very serious problem, which Honda has to take care in rectifying during their subsequent manufacturing product.

ALL SEEMS TO FAKE COMMENTS. Using Unicorn from last 6 years. Only prob is spare parts are not available.
Same problem in my 2006 honda unicorn... i am frantically searching for a solution, anybody knows the way out of this problem please comment...
Same problem in my Honda Unicorn(April-2012), every time mechanic adjust but next week i facing same problem and also front wheel shaking how to solve this problem..
Even my CB-Unicorn has the same problem, chain makes tak-tak-tak sound while changing gears to 2 and 3. Honda service center (Narayanguda and Somajiguda) are worthless, whenever I complain them of the problem, they just tight the chain and adjust the rear wheel, the problem crops up again in just days.
Even new Unicorn bike have Chain box sound problem.
Ask servicemen to check the problem.
My friend, who brought new unicorn had this problem.
He did what ever he cud do.
He visited both Honda trained servicemen & local workshop guys.
Nobody was able to give a permanent solution to the problem.
Atlast he decided to change chain & spocket.
That worked, now everything is fine.
He has clocked more than 16000kms after that replacement.
Still no problem.
SO it is better to change chain spocket.
It may sound ridiculous but this works.
I[censored] doubt about its success, then as ur mechanic to switch chain & spocket with another Unicorn's Chain & spocket.

Hai friends
Even im also facing the same problem for the past 3 months, even after given my bike for service in company outlet (Honda Service) itself. Just they are tightening the chain at the time and giving back. No use in servicing, its only wastage of our money. One more thing i feel sorry and shame to say that my bike has not even completed 1 year still...

Guys try removing the chain casing and refit it... While fitting the same, use the bolt washers (metal piece that seperate casing and bolt) as inverted. It will resolve the issue.
Also befoee refitting the casing, check and confirm that it is not folded or bended and there ia no possibility to get in contact with chain while driving..

Believe me. I am facing this issue right from when I bought Unicorn 6 years ago. The sound is killing the joy of the ride. But now Iam used to it. Now as some one suggested let me try and change the chain and sprocket.
