Footpegs are not fully back-shifted. Its in between a commuter & sporty position. So you need to sit a bit back, fit heel in footpegs to get a sporty position. If you sit normally and stretch your hands, it will give you almost a commuter feel, except that the clip-ons are a bit lower than commuter.

Yes, riding a stretch after 60-100kms(depends on person to person), you need to give a break or else it is very difficult for touring.

Well I did over 6k kms in my P135 in less than two months which includes journeys over 500kms in one day, over 200kms in a stretch. Of course I feel a little pain in my back and shoulders at the end of the day after such a long ride, this was a case with my "very comfortable" WR250X as well, but if seated properly, although the seats are little hard, it will be comfortable for a considerable time!

Sit a little back and hold the tank with your thighs and let the weight transfer to the tank through the thighs! Bend your elbows a little and then start riding. You will feel more comfortable. This is the best way of ride this bike in my opinion..

i have no complains about my bike except for the rear tyre...im totally dissatisfied with the eurogrip's performance...skids a lot...

i would also like to mention...i put my bike to the limit yesterday(well almost...it just keeps asking for more)...did a top speed of 124kmph(my ever enthusiastic speedo) at 10k rpm...was riding solo...

Well the first thing I did after purchase my P135 was change the tyres!

I changed stock tubed tyres to MRF Zappers, FS 90/90-17 in front and C 100/90-17 in rear. Both are tubeless. I did this because I need a "Puncture Free Ride".

I know tubeless tyres will puncture, but those will not flatten out instantly like the tubed ones in the middle of nowhere..

By the way, my stock tyres were also MRF. Of course Eurogrip will skid, those did in my Disco135 as well, because of the rubber contains hard compound unlike MRF.

Change your tyres, well, to MRF I guess, coz in here, MRF considered to be the best. Dont forget to get tubeless tyres and they do not skid as much as Eurogrip for sure.. And provide ample grip also..

90/90-17 seems to be not fitting to the front rim as it seems larger, but it DOES fit in. For me no problems like air leaking whatsoever..

I think you might able to trade your current stock tyres before those get ware out further, to a tyre shop for a considerable amount. I did it and new two tyres did cost me only a small amount! It's like free....

Well I also pushed my bike to the limit once and speedo showed me 127kmph. Without the speedo error it sould be 112kmph I guess and RPM was like 9.8k(not sure). Couldn't go further as the traffic. I was without a pillion as well and mind you, feel like this bike keeps asking for more throttle.

i wanted to change the tyres when i got my bike but the bajaj guys dint do the needful...well i too dint take much interest then thinking i would change them in a year or so by myself....

but im planning to get some wider tyres...i know MRF is good but how about d pirelli or d sirac ?

by the way how much did your old(actually new) tyres fetch you ? and the new MRF tubeless ones ? tell me about the deal..

P.S. anyone interested in new Eurogrip tyres of my P135LS please pm me...

Go for the soft MRF compound ones from the R15. It should fit easily on the P135.

they again are 100-90-17...but i guess the soft compound would stick better to the ground...will think about it..thanx !

Well, nin, eventhough I tell you about the deal, you might not get any idea from it, coz you know, I'm from Sri Lanka

Anyway, I will tell you. Try to get some idea.. New MRF tubeless 100/90-17 + the valve = 5500LKR(Sri Lankan Ruppees) and MRF tubeless 90/90-17 + the valve = 3950LKR. I did fetch 7500LKR for the stock tyres(which ran only about 30kms). So I paid only 1950LKR. No fitting charge as well. That's waay cheap for me. Absolutely nice people in this country. They not only do their business but helping each other as well
(2.8LKR=1INR I guess)

About wider tyres, errr... Only option in MRF is 120/90-17(P220 tyre) in here. That wont fit in your rear for sure. Too big. But tyres in Honda Dazzler might fit also but cannot confirm. Anyway in my guess, 100/90-17 will be the most suitable option for P135 rear as it seems perfectly match with the P135 "rythem" you know

I honestly don't know about Sirac coz I don't see them here but there are Pirreli & Bridgestone, available in radial tubeless only and in larger size(above 120), wondefully marvellous tyres and very costly too and dropped the idea coz my P135 definitely don't need them as it is not a Superbike! (I had Bridgestone(stock) & Pirelli in my WR250X- perfomed brilliantly). Yep Dunlop is there but I haven't used them to comment.

Yep, R15 tyres will definitely fit P135 and they will provide ample grip than conventional MRF tubeless for sure..! If I were you, I will go for them!!

1 Sri Lankan rupee = 0.407519486 Indian rupees...so got the idea...thank you so much !

dunlop are too hard to provide a good grip...good for offroading though...

i agree the r15's tyres will provide ample grip...but a few burn outs and the tyre is gone !

i testdrove this bajaj on 14th septembeer...i gotta say its quite a good bike for its price...but my heart won over my mind and i went for an rtr180..got no regrets over my decision..

I bought a Bajaj Pulsar 135 few weeks ago and its been superb bike since then

congratulations for your new bike !

Congrats bro for the new beast.

Happy New Year to all. Nice write up guys. I am planning to go for this as my second bike this new year. But am little slowed down by the comments from my friends. What they say is that this bike is not different from Bajaj XCD 135 [I am not aware if this bike exist]. Since the XCD 135 failed terribly and an attempt to boost the sales bajaj had made minor modifications and renamed it to Pulser which has the brand name so that this bike might do good sales and that's reason for few colours and single variant. I wud go book it confidently if some experts or the owners here could give me some advice on this.
