Yes, that's an ERA long for the newer lots. They almost have 4-5K gap between each service. You better stick to 2500kms max. for each service for best performance from your bike. And if I advise it too personally, then service your bike anywhere between 1300-1500kms. That's like extracting the cream from the machine and always riding a new machine.

So your personal advise is to do the second service at 1500Kms...?
lemme know coz Im nearing fifteen hundred kms...

NO! I think you misunderstood it. I wanted to say that get your bike serviced at every 1500kms from the last service. For e.g. this is the chart of my services:

1st service: 572kms

2nd service: 2210kms (1638kms after last service)

3rd service: 4050kms (1840kms after last service)

4th service: 5500kms (1450kms after last service)

5th service: 6200kms (700kms after last service)

6th service: 8000kms (1800kms after last service)

7th service: 9155kms (1155kms after last service)

8th service: 10410kms (1255kms after last service)

9th service: 11333kms (923kms after last service)

NOTE: All services include oil change.

In the above chart, I did'nt follow strict 1500kms rule, but got it serviced at 1500kms approx. if you take the average of all services.

oopppsss got to go to SC for servicing....

Service schedules also depend on where you're placed. If you're in a semi-urban city which is more likely to have dusty environment, it makes sense to service earlier at an interval of ~1500-2000 kms range. However, in a city like Delhi, especially in areas like South Delhi which is reasonably clean with smooth infrequent traffic run-ins, the original service schedule seems fine.

These are assumptions I'm making because I think the only thing that makes the most difference after a service is your air-filter (and carb tuning). Generally, air-filters are cleaned at servicing only and in a dusty region, that needs to happen more frequently.

Otherwise, things like chain lubrication and slacking can be done as and when required. Same goes for battery checks.

BTW, if you're in a place where petrol quality is a suspect, its advisable to go for a carb overhaul at regular intervals (~2000kms). My hometown is vns and there almost all P150UG1 had their silencers rusting because of petrol. In Delhi, I have seen many UG1s with their original silencers running just fine. Not that silencer rusting and carbs are related but carbs do get choked if the fuel is adulterated.

Oh btw, I forgot to mention. Bajaj has come up with a chain-spray for open chain bikes and they're selling it to customers at the PBK spares shop. I got mine at Suman Bajaj, Noida and it cost 164 bucks. Pretty handy, easy to use and lasts a week easily.

what does the chain spray do .. ?? what is it.? ?

Chain spray keeps your bike's chain Lubed and also can be used for cleaning chain. It is expensive so only some of us use it. For normal POCKET 'W90 Gear oil' does a good job.

I think Grease is the best for the Chain without casing. coz i used both spray and grease. grease seems to be long lasting than spray (also water resistant). i used AP-3 grade grease

Ummm... As far as I know, grease is not recommended for 'O' ring chain sets like the one the 180 has. Bajaj manual clearly mentions 'Use 90 grade oil ONLY'. So I suspect grease might be somewhat unhealthy for the 180 chainsets.

today i saw one wierd thing on the silencer ,i saw a black viscous liquid on the silencer (at its starting point near the engine)...i immediately stopped the bike and there was burning smell and there was smoke too..... i guess the liquid on the silencer was burning which was emanating the smoke...i couldn't find where the liquid was originating from? and why? the bike was ok tell yesterday and now i
there is this liquid appeared out of nowhere ...it's like somebody apllied a paste neatly,but this isn't the cases
any guesses?

There can be two cases.
it could be bird droppings on you silencer getting sublime by heat.
Or
it could be glass wool. This chemical created by some chemical reactions happen inside cylinder at extremely high temperature. This generally happens because of retuning of AFR or retro air filter etc,. (And as they say) Don't touch it or you will be scratching you body for eternity .
wiki says glass wool can cause cancer !!
Glass wool - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Ho sakta hai ki koi nai road se tu gujra ho aur 'DAMMAR' (asphalt) udh ke silencer pe lag gaya ho.

glasswool? no ,it is in liquid form very viscous....actually i touched it...it got glued to my fingers..its very similar to asphalt

how it is related to tuning of AFR?

nopes,no new road laid in my town

@all:

I will be in PUNE from tomorrow. I will leave my hometown 6:00 am tomorrow and reach Pune by 5:00 pm (by bike ofcourse.). Anyone from PUNE eager for the meet. Please do PM me.

Looks like something is leaking from the silencer. Is it now too or disappeared, sometimes some black things (I donot know where did they come from) also gets sticked to the seat of my bike. I donot know its origin but maybe it has todo with some bird shit.
