  • [Help]: Bike tilted towards right

    Hi all, I have Pulsar 150 UG3 purchased in Nov 2006.
    While riding, I feel my bike is tilted towards right.
    This is even more evident on sloped roads for drainage of rain water.
    What could be the problem?
    list of problems mentioned by various mechanics I have shown.
    Faulty:
    Alloys,
    tyres,
    Rear Suspension,
    Swing arm,
    front forks.

      Is the bike pulling towards the right? Have you had a crash recently?

        No crashes as yet.
        Although, at times when I take both my hands off handlebars, I realize that my bike is going towards left.
        I asked my friend to ride it, and apparently, my fork was not bent either.

          Might be the time to change cone or bearings.

            Most common problem is associated with front forks; what's your odo clock? when was the last time you serviced your front forks?

              Cone set changed 900 kms back.
              Would bearings influence tilting?

              27000 kms clocked.
              Last fork oil change was around 9-10k kms back.
              I hope fork servicing means oil change.

                Nope. Fork servicing not only includes oil change, but also correcting the bends in the top/inner tube, checking for worn out springs, oil seals

                  Speed is a joy but roads are not race track. Keep speed in your limit and always Drive safe...

                    Could be on this line too; do a wheel truving, costs about 50 bucks per wheel.

                      Could you please explain. I mean,
                      1) is that a typo?
                      2) is it done at the bike service center, or at a wheel shop?
                      3) an general idea of what is done?

                      Thanx.

                        do the service center guys do this?
                        i have been to two bajaj service centers. this is what they had to say:
                        1)Since, dust has not collected near nitrox, my rear shocks are ok and i need to replace tyres. I did that since they were due anyway. same problem.
                        2)TRY fork out. No one is able to pin point the cause.

                        Never came across any shop doing this.
                        Have you personally or any of your friends done this? Any improvement?

                          ^^have a similar problem
                          changed
                          fork tubes,cone set,alloys.

                          i had a crash after that oil is leaking from the forks...
                          reason:- bent suspension leg ...

                          most probably front suspension leg would have bent..
                          check it...

                            For wheel truing, pls check - Park Tool Website & replace the bicycle wheels with motorcycle wheels; basically procedure is the same.

                              From what i read on that site, Truing is for spoked wheels and not for alloys. The original poster has a P150 UG3.
