My 180 gives me about 33.5 KMPL

Absolutely! I feel the P-200 has NO low end power when compared to my Classic 180!

your answers

1. yes they do sell the 180, its the most vfm bike in the power segment.
2. 180 gives you a mileage that no 200 can beat. Lesser quality issues. Cheaper spares.

i believe 200 needs to be run-in very properly...coz its stats are are extremely perfect for nice rip or an occasional cruise at 110km/hr...technically it should be the second most fastes bike on Indian roads.


btw,
I own a 180ug3, in 2 years I have covered 38000 kms. I bought the bike for 70k(first in thane) with loan and all it came to 90k...plus the maintenance after accidents and stuff...the whole thing came to another 30k...in all i have already spent more than 1lac on my bike!...
After another 1700 on a k&N I am getting a staggering mileage of (last recorded) 54km/L.!

Dude are you serious???
I am getting half of it!!

a guy who has rented our house in village got p200 black color.he is ripping it all the times. and claims a constant mileage of 40kmpl.

I dont think p200 spares are an issue though.bajaj can provide spares .and I am surrounded by 3 bajaj dealers out of which 2 are main dealers .

P180 is now rare.in the sense ki ,it is not really available here ex-stock. only p150 ,p200 and p220.
Exactly.my p180 UG2 has false neutral problems.except that ,gave me a good 45-50kmpl mileage in city conditions.yes - used "speed" petrol only :S .

and yes ,I checked the bajaj website .it shows P180 still in production.
infact ,P180 is a direct contender for P200 model .wherever p200 is mentioned ,eager bikers(and mechanics) are there to mention p180 as a better and cheaper one.

is anybody having the problem of rusting upon the silencer tip ...

my silencer(black in colour) is totally rusted and I fear that all the matter inside it will come out sporadically and nothing on the name of a silencer will remain...

guys I don't know what to do...
do you have any solution except going for a new silencer...

Same issue with my bro's 180 v2... black silencer... rusting starts on the tip... later percolates to other parts.... sadly no other option than to replace it.... costs approx 4k

I got Pulsar 180 UG III and it rocks!

Odo reading- 23000 kms

Top speed-115 kmph

180 dts V1 Aug 2004-done 34000kms,Mileage-~40kpl after constant hard riding~120+kph top speed

Hell Yeah!


totally man!... even i coudnt beleive it, i actually did a mileage test, where i had a litre of petrol in the tank, and was carrying another 1.5 L.. was doing constant 70-75 n the highway plus traffic......the only logic to this can be that, coz the k&N is sucking more air,the amount of fuel sucked in is lesser, and the low-range torque has considerably, significantly dropped, you need to keep the bike above 4k rpm for feeling the punchy 180 engine..as i had already mentioned somwhere, i had gone to shirdi and back, got 40-42 Km/L after cruising above 80Km/Hr continusoly for like 500kms..decent huh!...

still havent tested the top-end as my sparks were like 13k kms old!, just changed them yesterday, will put in a new dose of 300v...let us see...before the bike used to easily keep pulling till 123-124...for that i needed to heat the engine properly, in the first blast itself the bike had not touched that figure for quiet sometime, probably coz of the sparks i guess...but the 0-70 and 70-120 is now fcukin faster, you know scary fast, Like when you are kinda accustomed to the bike which does a 60-120 in ages, now the speedo ticks like that of a RTR!!! trust me the 180's engine is full of surprises..

+1
Yeah!!! its full of surprises buddy.. samething even i have experienced.. even in ripping mode it constantly returns me 40+ mileage..

sunday i did constant 128 for almost 10kms on nice road.. i hit the rev limiter on 5th @128.. it was just cutting off there.. i dont think it can go further..
Now i love my 180 even more..

Hi guys

I donot have much idea about bike maintainence.So needed an advice
My P180 is 11K kms old.
someone plz comment on the following :-

1) I use castrol power 1 and change it every 3K ..driving speed is generally 70-80. ....Is this the correct freq ?

2) About tyre pressue.
Front : 22
Rear (120/80 zapper tyre) : 30.
i ride mostly on highways . are these figures appropriate ?

3) The bike manual says to change the fork,brake oil every 10 K.
My bike is working fine without any issue...shall I still chage the above fluids?

I read we can fit Oil cooler of P200 in P180 and it costs around 1200 rupees ?.anyone tried?

^^^
some people here are already equipping their P180 with oil cooler... But i dunno how to fit it...

you touched rev limiter in fifth!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
that sounds...................
