    Do you have any tank cover that comes in the way of petrol tank lid? This happened once to my friends xtreme.

    Hmm.. I does what ever I could do then..like..pulling the choke, opening the tank etc. Any reason for that airlock? Its a new problem for me..never had to face it before

  • Bike goes off after long idle exposure to sunlight (Heat)

    Hello experts,

    Mine is Pulsar 150 DTSi UG2. I park my bike office parking area and I cover it to prevent paint fading. when I take my bike in the afternoon it goes off after 150 - 200 meters run as if there's no fuel. I have to pull the choke and kick 10-15 times to start it after that. Once it starts, there's no problem.
    This problem doesn't shows when I start my bike in the morning ( My be because there's no sunlight heat during the night).

    Also there's no problem if I park my bike in a shed during the day time.
    please advice a remedy. Is it because of fuel vapourization from carb. due to sunlight heat?
    please help.
Working...
