if you rev your bike hard.
keep varying the RPM's dont redline for prolonged periods.
keep an eye on oil level

**avinrichards** · 02-16-2009, 10:29 PM

Over heating is your main issue.

So keeping a check on the oil as akshay said and also its good to give the bike a little bit of cooling time between rips..

Over heating could possibly effect the piston rings(guessing not sure.) and also very frequent oil changes.

Also the clutch plates wear out faster.

cheers

Regular ripping needs -

Oil change for every 1000-15000 kms atleast as the engine heats up
bore and piston/Rings degrade, (engine noise will gradually increase)
crank play which needs a reset
Clutch plates will worn out soon due to heavy rev
worn of Brake pads/shoes due to instant breaking
Engine Bearing/Valve will get affected

It also depends how to Rip/Stess the bike, what RPM the gear shifting is done
Pulsar is known for Engine noise (Guys correct me if Iam incorrect) because most pulsars I have seen are afftected with loud Engine noise within 7k-10k kms run.

Most of the Pulsars that you've seen might be taken car badly by the owners. Not all Pulsars are having engine noise.

If you are comparing the grunty Pulsar with smoother Hondas or even ZMA, they surely are louder. But I wouldnt agree to them being louder only after 7K-10K.

Probably that was a typo. I think he meant 1500kms.

correct me if i am wrong but i have noticed more 'rattling' in pulsars which are ripped more often. nuts/bolts loosen up pretty soon.

will all that mentioned by you and not taken care of, pulsars would be the most 'screeching' engines in Indian market?! also, 1st, 2nd gen are more silent than UG3? i am talking about 150/180. let 200/220 be...

also, i was using motul 300V for a long time. noticed more engine sound. yesterday tried castrol 4T which is more thicker since not synthetic. engine noise has reduced considerably now.

I had damaged the tappets of my 220 while redlining it on 2nd gear. My bike was in the running in period.That was bad!

Never redline the Pulsar 220 in 1st and 2nd gears. From 3rd it is ok.
Ride safe guys!

Bro I think your's would be more of a one of case!

My bike has run 30K, I am in this habit of checking out how much the bike does in each gear when it hits the rev-limiter. And usually most of my spirited riding means shifting well into the red-line. And the last time my tappets were adjusted was when the bike was about 7K kms old. The tappets haven't been touched since then!

Maybe mine could be a one off issue too...

...with the 220 who knows!!

OMg this has scared me....piston rings and clutch plates are the normal (due for replacement) parts that i know of..

i think the engine has to be opened for any crank or engine bearing job right?
and if so i guess we could expect a bill of no less that 5000buks

hey n is it normal for the rpm meter to increase till 7 to 8 k and then suddenly shoot up wildly nd after thatb go back and forth??...is it the rev limiter in action?my clutch sliping?or some another problem?

well most of us here on xbhp are the kind that loves to take their steeds to its limits..(including me)

....so it would be wonderful if experienced xbhpn's
could describe how ripping affects various parts of our bikes...

thanks in advance

Hhmm...Nice Question Richard!!
if we go as per the bookish knowledge, "Mate , I Don't Have it!!!

But,If you go by real life expirience,what happens is that the first thing,your clutch plates wear off faster,as when you are revving hard every time the engine does not get time to breathe..
If you still continue to do that the the Rings of the piston wear off or become weak as a result of which the engine starts picking up Oil and gives a blue smoke initially,it can be suppressed by using NULON or if you want it to be cheap a gear oil of CNG Three-Wheeler CL-250 can be used..

Once that also fails the best option is to get the rings changed asap,else other wise soon pistion might be out,the get the whole cylender piston kit changed and still if you don't care the Head and lower chamber might be out..wait for it,and NOW,Don't do anything,wait for the engine to get ceased and then Change the engine Or Bike..

now this was something helpful...btw any idea of the cank n internal bearing wearing out..i think if the engine oil is changed regularly those things should not give any problems..
