generally it glows whenever there are two bar remaining fuel meter...and when you get only 2 bars that means you aren't having more fuel than 4-5 liters...so I guess there's nothing wrong with his bike.

Anyway How's radio going taday? I can't come online today.

Gave my bike for servicing today. Too much crowd, so will receive it back tomorrow.

I'm ENJOYING it. Subh se shaam ho gayi aaj tau. Din bhar se chalu tha. Kal jaroor aana online.

Got the bike back from service @ 15000kms, paid 220 Rs. The bike is running fine, except the krrr... trrrr noises coming from the front lock or dail.

@abhi what about the oil level?Any need to cover indication glass?

No need for covering it. It is incorporated in the design itself. No worries, just enjoy.

Hi all, My bike s due for second service. it has clocked 4600 KMS. Here are some few issues i am facing now.

1. If i ride the bike @ 60 KMPH and take my hand off the handle bar, the handle bar starts shaking i.e like shivering. Initially it was due to air problem in the rear tire. Tht issue has been resolved, but still the issue persist

2. Engine noise is too high. Is it ok or should i report it to service center. esp after riding it for >20 kms

3. I am facing issues with gear box. One is i cant find neutral as long as engine is on. The second i switch off the bike, i can shift to neutral. And second, recently i am facing some gear slippage. Say i am riding the bike @ 40 kmph and when i shift to 5 th gear, the shift occurs but suddenly after 2-3 sec the bike again comes to 4 th gear.

4. I have welded the foot rest with the saree gaurd. It looks odd. How can i fix this. I heard from my friends tht i should use powder paint. how can i get it. can i report it to service center. BTW my foot rest is shining steel.

5.Which s the best shock position for 85 kg built man. I cant settle on any. Any suggestions?

6. I am getting some keech...keech sound from my rear side. I am not sure whether its comin from suspension or chain or wheel. Any info on culprit identification?

And last of all should i get some other oil like valvoline and ask the service center guyz to use tht. If so what is the suggested oil? Will all bajaj service centers accept the outside oil?

Thanks for the experienced members who are willing to answer every query posted by mine.

CHEERS




EDIT

When i was browsing through the forum i noticed the posts about bike service @ 2500 kms. But my manual says the second service s @ 4500-5000 kms. Believing in my manual, i didnt service the bike or change the oil after the first service. Have i killed my bike Please reply soon guyz

1) Report the problem to SC. They will tighten the steering and shocks.

2) As the second service interval for newer lot of 180 is longer @5000kms, so, the bike must behave little loose than bikes with 2500kms (older lot like mine) service intervals. No problem. Normal behavior of Pulsar, you will get used to it.

3) Gear slippage is due to loose chain and the neutral problem will go by time. But, donot expect it to go fully, my bike still 40% of times slots into wrong gear when I want it neutral.

4) I have done the same to my Pulsar 220 FI. I think you should get the saree guard replaced with P150 one. Best option is this.

5) Stock is the best. If you feel it too soft then go for 1 level higher, i.e. stiffer setting.

6) May be brakes shoe, get it checked.

If the SC agrees to put the oil you buy from outside then purchase oil on your own. I fill Valvoline 20w50 @270Rs. Other options are Motul 15w50 @450Rs, Motul 3100. I think SC guys will put in Bajaj DTS-i 10000 oil in your bike.

P.S: Service the bike every 1500kms, I follow this rule and I am happy with my bike's TIGHT performance.

Thanks.

update: I've tighten clutch wire and now gear shifting has become a lot less difficult.

I think my rear suspension has become a little stiff. Sometimes when riding with pillion on big digs it feels like rim is touching the road and on the other hand when riding alone it feels like apache or old Kawasaki pulser.
I think shocks have run out of nitrox.

hi guys,
something has happened to my bike, yesterday night i was going around a speed of of 60kmph , i increased the speed ,then the rpm went to 10k + and it would not come back..until i turned off the engine. after that whenever i started the bike the RPM went to 10k automatically..it was like that for an hour and a half.. the bike doesn't move. it was hell yesterday night.. don't know what happened..

Hey guys i own a p180 ug3 model and have clocked 26k...
my pulsar's peformance used to be awesome, beating apache 160 and other p180s always in drag races and such...
but since last service performace has been like a dead bike...
and last week i my bike died totally..
i got it checked and i got report that the piston has worn out and needs to be replaced...
how could this have happened?
did the svc guys screw it up??
how to avoid further issues like this...
P.S. I've been driving my bike with faulty piston and its like driving a bullock cart or something and that with a lot of smoke but majboori hai till 1st Jan...
is it okay or should i stop..
my friends say engine will blast or something....

Check the rear shocks 'dampening', usually improper dampening causes the rear to bounce unusually on bad patches and making it hard for spine.

your accelerator cable must have been stuck at a point. Was the accelerator moving fully from clkwise to anti? or clean the carburetor, did you played with carburetor settings?

Your friends speak crap! Yes, the engine will start loosing compression and one day the bike will die, leaving you stranded anywhere; (but engine will never blast). Get it done as per your convenience and donot ride anymore than 4-5K rpm.

dampening?
New problem: Speedo is now showing arbitrary numbers. I just hit 199KPH in bumper to bumper traffic. SC guy said speed sensor must has gone kaput. I think I'll get it changed it ASAP as it's under warranty.

Dampening means checking the whole shock-up dampening assembly which includes struts (springs), every other thing.

Check the speed cable it might have gone loose too.

ya ,its moving anti clock wise way too...almost totally.. ..should check it out... and no, i did not play with settings...

That sound like a lot of work. I don't think SC can take some time for my bike from their busy schedule. I don't know what to do. Also my next service is due. I was thinking to drop the bike at somewhere other than the SC.
