Hi all,

Happy Newyear.
I did my second service to my 180 ug4 (done 2900 kms). from then on getting a thud sound from the front forks when i get into potholes..this could be the shock absorbers settings ? or something else ?
Any idea what should I say to the bajaj svc guys ?

I too got the same sound from front shocks, but it was due to lack of oil in the shocks that the SC guys poured when I asked them to change it.

I'm also experiencing this sound . So, is the sound stopped after pouring the oil in shocks Abhi?

abhichotu.abhi

Yep! sound gone now. But, if you have not changed the shock-oil and still getting the sound, then probably the issue is different. In your case, cause could be a faulty or loose 'Cone-set'.

Ok Abhi. Thanks . I will check with the SC guys.

BTW I have got another problem with the chain, which I'm posting in detail next.

I'm experiencing a strange problem in my P180UG4 with the chain, especially after the 3rd service done at 8500kms. That is I hear a 'kirchhh kirchhh' sound from the chain in equal intervals with a strong vibration in the left footrest (whenever I hear the sound it vibrates). I have taken back the bike to the SC guy. After inspecting the chain he told me that the chain is very tight and he adjusted the same and asked me to try again. I did and the problem was still there but with little less noise and vibration. Then he opened the box just above the gear and sprayed some oil and asked me to ride it for 1-2 days and see whether the problem continues. Sad that it continues still even after a week. So 3rd time I have gone to SC last Saturday and the guy asked me to come after two days as they are busy with existing jobs. He want to completely check the chain, sprocket, etc. The sound and vibration are high in speeds over 70km/h. Also when I press the clutch to slow down, there is no sound, but the vibration in the left footrest is huge.

I feel like there are some rings/pitches of the chain are damaged and whenever they touch the front sprocket, it makes noise and vibration. I'm not sure . Worried.

I'm concerned that is this a major problem? Do I need to change the Chain with new one? Continue riding the bike with this problem will cause any issue with the engine? I ride 60Kms daily (to and fro from the office). So, please advise.

There are few points I would like to tell:

1) All the open chains do make noise, it's no issue.

2) If the chain is too tight than it will cause vibrations on the left foot rest and a feeling of tightness while riding the bike.

3) If you donot lube the chain than also it will produce excessive noise and vibrations. That's sure! Also while lubing the chain, lube the particular area at which each link is joined with the other, i.e. donot lube the rollers, instead lube the outer boundary of the chain.

4) Clean your chain every 1000-1500kms (in rains more frequently), this way you will be only increasing the life of chain, and the noise and vibrations will be reduced to a significant level.

The chain problem you are facing might be due to any of the above reasons. It will not cause any problems to engine. If the problem is more severe, than try and post the pictures of your bike's chain, it will help the guys here in figuring the cause.

Thanks for the prompt reply Abhi . Glad to hear that it will not cause any problem to the engine.

Yes, I'm aware that open chain produces more noise and vibrations. But in my case, it is bit severe which I never faced before the 3rd Service. Also I lube the chain twice a month with the used engine oil. Also I believe that the SC guy have cleaned the chain during 3rd Service. Anyhow will check with him again and clean the chain if he didn't do it before. Will keep you posted. Thanks again dude.
