        Maybe its front fork seals are leak,so the right and the left one doesn't have the same level of oil, and so it has different rebound too between right and left...

            No oil seal leak.. because i have overhauled the entire front forks.. had them fully topped up and also checked for stem damages since long back i had a crash with an auto..lolz

                Have you changed your tyres? If it's 35k plus, and if you've normally ridden your bike (i.e no burnouts, unusual activity ), then it's time to change the tyres.

                        Dude Change the Tyres.. I am also encountering the same problem recently. My P150, 2005 Model Analog Meter, Alloy Wheel has done 31K on the Odo & the Back Tyre is 85% Worn out & Front is 70% Worn Out. Changed the Cone Set & Back wheel bearings also but same problem persists ( Handle Bar Swaying @ 60 -65 Km Speeds & Back wheel shivers, Loss of Grip-- Feels like going to Fall down especially on uneven roads) I am going to change both the Tyres now as suggested by the Mechanic.

                        Cheers!!!!

                          Welcome to the club GP. Join hands with partner in sorrow. I had the same problem too except that it was on the left side, and it was due to the front tyre beading irregularity.Get it done properly from a CEAT Shoppe or so. Also, you hardly get to notice any wearing out on front tyres in the Pulsar. I've done 30,000kms on the stock front until I had to change it due to the wobbly problem. And, now its all back smooth again.

                          However, I still pass a heavy sigh every time a Honda or a Yamaha (as old as my Pulsy baby '06) zooms past my ride and I think of the day I decided to choose the Pulsy over the Unicorn, which was the only alternative available in the 150cc category tht matches up)
