I am facing the same problem of Rpm. when I start the bike Rpm automatically goes on 3000, and it is so annoying to hear that sound. I recommend you when you start the bike wait for 30-40 seconds after starting the bike, and the rpm will get low on their own.

I got my bike one month ago and have exact same issue. Today I got my first service. I asked the guy at the service center about the issue and he just said that its the company's setting. See man we are not alone in this.

Question 19

Q. Unicorn BS6 starts only in neutral, when we try to start in in 1st gear, it doesn't work. Is it normal?

Answer

If you mean it isn't starting when it's in gear with the clutch disengaged, and it used to start under those conditions, check to see if there's a pin switch on the clutch lever housing that's gotten stuck. If so, then the starter won't be able to tell you've got the clutch lever pulled and will refuse to start. You should be able to fix it by spraying some light lubricant (like WD-40 or a silicone-based lube) down the shaft of the switch. Don't use anything heavy like white lithium grease.
