    Not sure if this works but give a shot.Remove the wire attaching to spark plug and clean the spark plug top with a dry cloth (without removing the spark plug) and connect the wire again and see if your bike starts

      I don't own a Pulsar 135, but this problem happened on my RE 350 five years ago and after checking spark plugs, batteries etc, it turned out that the carb had a faulty seal and water was seeping into it during a wash/rain.

      If you are checking so many things, it might be worth peeking at the carb too.

        i think CDI is the culprit,Ask svc guys to test with a new cdi unit.i hope it comes under warraty.If the cost of cdi is less replace it

        next time if your bike stops it might worth checking whether your getting spark when starting or not.

          Excluding the other terms also check for some wires exposed out of insulation behind the head lamp, a drop of water is enough for it to get contact with the body earth. when you face this problem try to shake the whole vehicle and let all the water drain and try. if you have a compressed air facility nearby its still easy for you.

          Once while force washing my bike some water entered into the wires leading from the lock assembly, at the time i met with such problem and a road side mechanic near my home fixed this for me.
