Keep it oiled and firm and you will be fine!
Hey abishekkrishna, I have a Pulsar 150 for two years now and the chain does make some noise now and then. However up till now the chain and sprockets are just fine. I just oil them every month or so.
I also have a friend who happens to own a Pulsar 200 and his bike's chain makes a hell lot of noise. I asked him whether it was a problem but he said that such noise is common and it came right from the time he bought the bike.
Regarding your query on whether it can damage the chain or sprocket, you have to take the opinion of the service center mechanics. Let them have a look at it. Generally, if you keep the chain and sprocket oiled and firmed up, the set lasts for a long time.
Cheers mate!Comment

I don't think that chain noise is normal with Pulsars. It's because your chain may be excessively loose.

chk the coupling rubbers at rear hub... they might have crushed and sprocket hub might have become lose . replacing them is not a costly move either.Comment

Chain noise
My pulsar 150 is 8 months old. Two days back i got my chain tightened by a mechanic. It was loose and touching the chain cover. Now after tightening, not touching but the chain rolling noise is coming. If i press the clutch i can hear that clearly. How can i stop or reduce this noise. Whether it requires lubrication or cleaning? Anyone help me out pls.Comment

I guess you need to lubricate the chain... that should solve the problem.Originally posted by Prabhakar150 View Post
And yeah, occasionally it is a good idea to clean the chain with diesel or kerosene, it will definitely increase your sprocket and chain life. Lubricate the chain after cleaning.Just R15ing...Comment

Cleaned my chain using a tooth brush and kerosine, 2t oil. Wiped the chain wit the help of tooth brush by dippin it into kerosine. The chain noise has reduced or almost gone. The ride is smooth as new bike except tappet sound. Wil get it done on next service.Comment

* Check if it was over tighten (refer your manual) that also cause noiseOriginally posted by abishekkrishna View Post
* yeah cleaning with kerosene is good apart from using the tooth brush. spread kerosene on the chain and if possible sprocket and do wipe off the dust with a clean cloth make sure your chain is dust free.
their was a similar discussion going on in http://www.xbhp.com/talkies/help-me/...ean-chain.html thread do refer the pulsar thread they know it betterLast edited by MSN1; 07-10-2010, 08:45 PM.Sarcasm is my automatic response to stupidity

If Pulsars have O-ring chains it is highly recommended NOT to use kerosene. Use a chain spray. It's expensive, but it cleans the chain and doesn't damage th O-rings. Here is one member who shows how he cleans his chain. Very informative and thorough Picasa Web Albums - Niranjan - Chain CleanOriginally posted by Prabhakar150 View PostComment

I dont actually know what is O ring chain. Is there any difference between conventional and O ring chain. Mine is Pulsar 150cc. I heard that Pulsars above 150 cc only having that kind of chain.Originally posted by rdna View PostComment
