    Pulsar 150 missing problem of power on sharp pot holes.

    Hi, I own a pulsar 150 (2011).

    1. I am facing an issue with my bike. There is a lag for at least a second when my bike goes on a pothole or expansion joints on road. There is a feeling of missing in power for 1-2 sec while throttling.

    2. My bike tends to heat much when I have only ridden it for 10 - 15 kms.

    Please help me regarding my concern; I think I should change my carburetor of my bike.

    I am from Agra, U.P. & please recommend me a good mechanic If anyone here from Agra.

      The 1st issue seems to be reasonable, but only if there's a slight drop of power transmission.
      In case of heating though, either of the engine oil or carburettor could be at fault. I ride a 2010 model and have been using Motul 3100 20w50 - the top end is significantly improved but heats like crazy. There should be no such problems with Bajaj 10000, provided you don't rev it too much. Which oil are you using?

        I don't know about your first problem but it most probably is related to your second problem.
        What engine oil are you using and how long since you replaced it?

        Your carb is out of tuning if your engine oil change is not overdue or you're not using the wrong viscosity grade. If you are a DIY guy you could look up carb tuning in P220 threads otherwise ask your mechanic to tune it properly, they tend to leave it lean, means less petrol for the amount of air which results in the overheating you are facing.
