Yeah. just keeps getting worse. I dont even have a key chain actually. it's just a ring with many keys on it and it's the keys that are making it worse.

Thanks Abhi . Safer side, I will change the oil every 5000Kms.

Paint every silver part with black color.
SC does it no more than 400Rs.
If done at home shouldn't cost more than 50Rs.

Anyways I'm happy guy here because my bike doesn't have that black patch because I don't use key chain. :P

guys.. i need a few P18OUG3 parts...

need to know where in new-bombay i can get them.

• P180 UG3 Block / Piston
  
  
• Timing Chain
  
  
• Valves
  
  
• Oil Seals

have tried all over... haven't been able to source the parts yet.

Also need a P22O (carb) camshaft with the hex bolt.

even i have the same problem.

Have you tried contacting the main dealers for Bombay, instead of SC's. You should get parts from them. BTW, I donot think there is any change in the block\piston set for UG4 180's. You could try and ask those idiots for UG4 parts, they might have them.

Another MAJOR problem creeped up in the bike:

"The lower part of the cylinder block is leaking oil (the place where the crankcase and the cylinder block meets)."

The leak is minor, but still I will get it rectified at next service which is due after 1000kms.

Yeah....! that was my foolishness actually! my bad! i made my mind to never ever touch castrol again P150 goes very well with castrol though but p180 really needs a Motul. i haven't tried valvoline so can't comment.

I have checked machining holes are different at timing chain slack adjuster. I have no avail except reboring the block to .25mm on a cnc matched with Mahle piston. After run in of 1000 Km its much much better and smoother. If the timing chain has some noise then you need to change else not necessary. I have replaced with new valves. The total cost comes close to 1.8K including labour.

Queries

Hi All,
A new rider with 3000 Kms done in last 2 n half months. :P
few questions or rather issues i feel
1) While shifting gears lately i have been feeling a lag wherein the gear goes loose for a moment, i have to let go of clutch and then again come back to shift gears, what could be the issue ?
2) Bajaj sevice guy used their own oil in first service, i heard motul 5100 is better, can i get it changed now only or should wait till next service ?
3) The engine feels a little messed up at around 60-70 at 5th gear, as if there is one more gear left, possibility ?
4) a month back i rode with a pillion at 118 kmh, last week it was going above 107kms in ages. whats wrong ?
5) anyone knows a good reliable mechanic in Pune, who could assist with the bike.

Loving the wolf.

friends my bike mileage dropped for 40 to 31!!
its just done 2.5k..Any way to increase the mileage?

Try powder coating to your handle bar and grab rail. I enquired about it and looks like it can be done in Tambaram opposite to siddha hospital. Shouldnt hurt your wallet, I got this info from SVC guys velachery.

Thats great info for me mate . Thanks for sharing. Yea, I remember seeing a painting shop over there. Will give a try this weekend!

1. while downshifting ? i didn't get what you are trying to say..sorry

2. Since you have completed 3000kms it is perfectly safe to use M5100, If you want to change it now.... you can change it...the bajaj oil is not good.

3. P180 is short geared definitely but if you have a good engine oil and your carb is perfectly tuned you shouldn't feel the lack of one more gear.
Have you checked your top speed?
is there a white residue on the center electrode of your spark plug?
does your engine gets heated more frequently and with a burning smell?
what about the pickup? if perfectly tuned you should be able to shift gears at 5k RPM withjout much effort..and engine oil also plays a major role in this part.. better to change the oil now(if you want to) and then check the pickup.

If any of these persists even after changing the oil,then it is likely that your carb is badly tuned( for 'extreme mileage' as they say) ..get it re tuned.


4. Have you took this reading after the service at bajaj? if yes then refer 3rd point ..it is likely that it is out of tune ..or else get your air filter cleaned.

5. pune guyz should help you

1) Yes, while downshifting
2) Would get it changed.
3) I would check out the spark plug, but yup i did noticed some burning smell when i pushed it above 100 last week.
pick up seems gud to me, am on the negative side of extreme mileage.

Thanks for your help !!!
