design of dazzler is very good looking ,i think back side view is not good ,
Dazzler has a stupid headlight and tailamp which spoil the style of the bike. Dazzler is not a proper commuter bike due to half chain cover and lack of kicker. Half chain cover is unsafe for pillion, especially females and kids. Half chain cover results in clothes getting dirty during rains. Dazzler is also not a proper sporty bike as it does not have clip-on handles. Old unicorn had 18-inch wheels; Dazzler has smaller 17-inch wheels. Also, note that puncture in tubeless tyres cannot be repaird by paying rs.30. Instead, you have to buy new tubeless tyres by paying rs.3000. Dazzler is a smaller baby unicorn which is overpriced.
Hi all..i have bought uni dazzler on May 31st…Completed my 6 months and it has crossed 4500kms…Only one word i can say is Awesome or excellent or great….now i m feeling the slogan of Honda “I Enjoy the Quality”it has very smooth engine with comfort riding…. its definitely a gud upgraded package than old unicorn…the wider rear tyre,sexy digi console,power increment and tubeless tyre gives u a pleasant driving and sporty look…paying just 4000 bucks extra u get thise upgrades than older Uni which is good value for money thing… In City riding i acheived mileage of 52…Depends on driving style..but it gives around 50-55 kmpl in city riding conditons…In top speed(60 – 70kmph)also bike doesnt makes noise and vibes..feels like flying….only doubt is it doesnt have kick start..oly elec start..i ve doubted and scared while hearing first..after enquiring dealr he said ..it comes wit MF battery and sure ther will be no prob for 4-5 years in battery….gear shift is really smooth and easy….braking is excellent…one more thing i like to clarify is here i seen in several posts that rear disk is risky and tough for fresh new first time riders…But the truth is rear disc is not powerfula s front one…i’ve felt rear dis is some wat 20 -30% sharper than drum brake…but ther is no question of riskiness in rear discs….on the whole its a sporty commuter,…..my top speed is 116 kmph..i m very much satisfied…it simply overtook old uni in all aspects…while comparing to
pulsar(Poor performance and engine and no comfort..only style) and
gs(rust prob and relaiablity of engine) and
fz(Better and good style – but fails in mileage and high price)..
Dazzler is better in all aspects…but it can beat the style of fz..Looks shud b compromisedbut in performance and specs wise it has comparitively better than above 3…so guys go for it and Have a enjoyable riding…
Some Issues i faced in my 4500 kms of journey wit my Machine
1.Sometimes i face this..not all the times..wen i m driving in 5th gear it automatically shifts to 4th gear…
2.In Winter season have to use choke for starting…
3.My Clutch cable has got cut aftr 20 days of purchase and they have replaced me for free of cost..
4. Engine gets very heated after some 10 to 15 mins of drive for first 2 months…. now its ok…heat reduced…5.the vibrations i hav faced it in initial stages…but now if i go at 70kms also no vibs and gearshift is so smooth like slicing the butter or boiled egg
Tips for Good maintanence of Dazzler :-
1. Do timely service
2.Jus lubricate u r chain 10 days once..it will b gud..This is Important.
3. For Better braking u shud apply both front and rear if you go beyond 40 kmph
4. For Good Mileage .. Daily Morning after starting the bike leave the bike in Idle engine running condition of 1500 rpm..It allows Engine oil to flow through all parts of Engine fully..Start riding after doing this.. Dont Use Clutch Frequently..Use it wisely..
5.Each and Everytime u giv for Service jus tell the service person to check the MF Battery health and Recharge it fully for avoiding Battery related problems..This is very important since u hav to rely only on elec start…
6.After your free services get over – Dont go for Honda service after that…Prefer your Good Local mechanic..BCos honda service mechanics are not so good.
Prefer Silver than black..Silver is Much Sexier…Red and Gold is worst..This My Prsonal opinion..
From my Experience i hav crossed 4500kms…it got very smooth……….its like grape wine man…as days pass it will taste gr8…sure u will feel aftr crossing 3000kms….Dont Read my review and take decisions…U Jus go to the showroom..test ride the Dazzler ..andd u urself will feel the difference from other bikes…Take a wise decision..
