          The rear suspension is 5 step adjustable one .

            Why don't you just set the suspension to the softest setting? If you are not very keen on riding fast through corners and ride solo most of the time then this is the perfect way to make the ride more comfortable.

            I was under the impression that P135 shock abs provide a good damping due to the gas filled suspensions.

            Currently the suspension on your bike may be set to the hardest.

            For adjusting the suspension, refer to your owner's manual or ask any service center mechanic to do it. Actually it's so simple that you can do it yourself as the required tool is generally provided in the tool kit.

            This thread has the photograph of the tool that you will require to alter the suspension settings:

                the easiest way is to put the setting onto the softest mode....

                to get rid of the noise,vibrations get to your svc and get a bush added into each rear shock absorber (which they should do free of cost)

                even if this doesnt help...add a 4th option in your list there
                4.Change of mindset

                and why i say that is purely because i myself did a saddlesore on this one without any actual 'sore'

                in short travelled 1627kms in less than 24hrs flat
                A very good and safe biker not only because he can pop up either of the wheels,scrape his knees on a corner or go fast and make it look stylish but because he very well knows his limits and capabilities and has the patience to learn about others and ride safe ! :)

                      Dear Dear Nin..i completely disagree with you dear because as i think you do the saddle sore on a highway where you frequently cruse 80 KPH because of the good road surface & Solo riding format.But dear my friend is doing his machine on Bad(Not in NH) & frequently have pillion.So he or the rider/Pillion have very hard time in a bad road.Do not misguide him...there should be some seat work to be done.& one more thing As you height or his height may vary so that riding position may vary.I think you also feel this thing in you machine..DO YOU???

                        Hi Nin,

                        I tend to agree with both you and Manas. I agree that in solo riding it works great. But in case of riding with pillion on not so good track it creates problem.
                        So kindly provide a solution and by the way what do you mean by "adding bush in rear suspension".

                          I am not misguiding anyone but have given you a frank and genuine feedback...ok i agree may be i am the only one who doesnt have a problem with its seat.

                          Regarding the seat work that has to be done,no Bajaj SVC will do it (for sure).So you can (have to) get your seat cushioned (extra foam may help) from a local seat-maker.He can open up the entire saddle,add extra foam,shape it well according to your need.As you know,i didnt feel a need to do this on my Pulsar but I have done this on my other bike and will definitely help.

                          Hi!

                          I am not anyone from the Bajaj or for that matter any other bike manufacturer to give out a solution. But yes all i can do is give some idea,tips for a fellow biker brother.

                          As i mentioned earlier,try that out and about the bush i mentioned,go back to the svc guys and tell them about the vibration problem and ask them to fix it.If they are well aware about it,they will do the needful.If not, dont return back without giving them a piece of your mind(some bad words can also do)

                          Unfortunately i dont have any pics to explain it to you now here.If i happen to will definitely post them here.

                          Ride Safe guys!
