Hi Everybody,

I own a Pulsar 180 UGIII 2007 model. I gave it for servicing 2day and the Mech. told me that there is a problem with the Engine Bore. He mentioned the problem to be as the Engine oil is getting used by the engine as a fuel. He asked me to get the engine bore replaced.

The bike has just run for 26000 km.

1. Want to know if it's better to sell this bike and buy a new one or change the bore and keep it running.
2. Is It true that if once the engine is opend the perfomance of the bike degrades. In all aspects like speed, kmpl etc.......

I am Very confused.

Waiting for reply's

Aryan

Query Approved.

Hey Chandru, its not an uncommon thing-most Pulsars drink oil at some stage or the other. If the job is done by Bajaj, it will be reliable enough, no doubt.
On the other hand, I think you like the R15 a lot! This might just be the right time to go for it!

@Aryan Thanxx for approving the topic.

@Sarvajit I have to get it check from another service center may be the pro-biking service center before getting to any conclusion. If they say the same thing about the bike, then would not have any other option than buying a new one. New pulsar 220 is going to be launched(I hope it's true ) soon. If i am changing the bike, i would go for it.

The bajaj service centre guys inspected my friends P150 UGII and said the same thing. He was almost about to change the bore.
But accidentally( yes accidentally) I took it to th Castrol bike zone and they inspected it and said only the clutch plate ( the whole kit rather was screwed). They changed it and its so smooth now.
they told me that there was nothing wrong with the Engine.
please get it checkd from a reliable source.

Sarvajit

Hmm, get it checked at a couple of places.
But the thought of touring with you on a 220 tempts me more!

Hey,
Yeah my Pulsar 150 DTS-i 2004 runs exceptionally well, just got the head and valve cleaned up at 50,000 and now doing 70,000+ with 60kmpl+ and great pickup with that authentic engine sound.

It is common for mechanics to misguide. One mechanic from Bajaj's workshop took me for a test ride and suggested changing clutch plates, timing chain, and even the valve, for mileage and power, verbally he made a large bill, and also suggested getting the bike fixed at his workshop on sunday. Days later I complained this incident to the dealership owner and he was about to fire the mechanic. This happens everywhere, its important for the enthusiastic rider to keep his senses tuned for cheats.

However, I found a great mechanic at the same workshop who suggested absolutely no extra work just some fine tuning, cleaning and lubricating. After his work I'm back on road and the bike feels great to ride.

IMHO, Engine Bore is required after mishandling of motorcycle and when excessive engine oil leaks even with the new seal. If thats the case then that would be the only solution. It ain't that costly and I would say only if you want to buy a new bike you consider selling it, else there's still a lot of juice left to be extracted.
