I own a champagne Red Pulsar 180 UG4 and this baby has completed 3 years. Maintained anew with regular service and Moto Gold 20W50 Oil. Changed Sprocket and chain at 17500km(which costed me Rs1200 alone).

My query to fellow xbhp'ians is on 2 problems that I am seeing:

1. Thinking of changing Spark plugs as sometimes bike misfires and just stops in between during starting or at low revvs. Although this can happen as its tuned to very low idle rpm 1100. should the spark plugs be changed? Service center guys wanted to changed it at this service itself(36 months) - but they were talking of changing a whole kit - spark plug - oil filter - some bush for self start which again will cost 1200 as a kit. Later asked to Bajaj Parts shop - he told that Rs79/- for spark plug (seriously isn't this cheap <confused>). Any suggestions on kit - what is this kit funda that khivraj Bajaj have in bangalore.

2. Once I had not used bike for 10days and once I came back saw the oil level go completely missing from the oil level glass indicator.. No option tried starting and it got started after pushing and around since no kick.. . But later oil started showing up to proper levels once bike had been running for some time.. is it really normal?
