    As long as the bike is performing flawlessly i don't see any valid reason to change oil within short durations!

        Yup. Any idea from where to get that? Or which should be the optimum replacement for the same oil at first service?
        Do reply guys? I am waiting!

            1. One month after, its first servicing would be due. Which Engine oil to use? And I hope that the bike is already having engine oil, do you guys recommend Bajaj DTSI-10000 engine oil as said in manual? Where to get it?

            2. Otherwise, if you advise another brand, kindly mention the brand name with xxWyy thing with cost(if possible!)
            this bajaj engine oil is supposed to last 10,000 km ...never used it before...maybe you can use it and share your experience otherwise use motul mineral oil 3000 15W50 costs 210 rs

            More to come!
            Shall be grateful for replies!
            don't go beyond 55 first 1000 kms and 65 till 2000 km...slackness is the maximum vertical movement of chain at its loosest point ( middle )...official is 25-35 but if it's making a lot rattling noise tell SC guys to tighten it up

              When you do teflon coating it eats a little paint each time. It's not good if done very often. You can do wax polishing.

              tighten, lube the chain and clean the carb may reduce some noise.
              lube the chain every 200 kms

                          While oiling the chain, if accidently, your concentration is distracted like someone calls you and you start looking at him. In the mean time if you didnot pay attention towards your hands then there might be the possibility of grinding the fingers in sprockets. This was about to happen with me once but luckily did'nt happened. Everyone might not be as lucky as i was at that time.

                              I know two guys from SC who have lost their thumbs into sprocket while servicing pulsar but one was fortunate he immediately admitted to neighborhood hospital and they sewed detached thumb back to his palm
