    Engine noise past 40kmph

    Hello xBhpians,

    I have procured a 2016 Pulsar 150 recently with 25k kms on odo. Everything seemed just fine but the engine produces some kind of tuk tuk sound past 40 kmph I don't know what's the issue. It sounds like an insect rattling inside the Engine. I don't know how to describe the noise it make in words. I asked a local mechanic about this problem he said that bore is worn and needs to be replaced but I don't trust him at all. I can't believe the bore wore out so soon. So someone please help me! And also the sound keeps on increasing when I increase the speed.

    Thanks .

      Seems borekit needs replacement , If the bore has gone then don't go for the Bajaj ORIGINAL Bore kit .
      Because some local Mechanics can do the lathe job for bore instead of buying the original borekit !! Get the job done by a reputed ASC/Mechanic.

      PS: Ensure that you're changing oil periodically !


      Cheers,
      RIDE SAFE .

        Don't worry bro that noise may be produced by faulty timing chain and tensioner my 150 ug4 was also producing tak tak + tik tik noise like connecting rod bearings are gone, but after some research
        I bought timing chain,timing chain tensioner
        And timing chain guide and went to my machanic for replace those things and sound is surprisingly gone
        And souns like its a new bike it will cost you 600-800 ₹ with pasrs and labour charges my video can help you

                        I don't know what happens past 60kmph because I have never gone beyond 60kmph I feared that it would worsen the condition of the bike

                              if something is damaged it would hamper performance and engine sound at 40km ph or 80kmph doesnt matter what is the speed is ,in higher gears.

                              Do go above 60kmph on a wide open road ,with proper riding gears to check.
