please check the chain sprocket cost...as per your details they are qouting around 1300, well actually they cost only 800 - 1000 max and installation another 50 odd bucks....But my point here is why to go for bajaj made (diamond chain brand)...why dont you try ROLON brand which is famous and cheap too (500- 800) and the quality is 100 times better than stock chain sprocket kit.

Also when you change the kit you might need to install a rubber bushing in the wheel which is located near brakes of the rim, i forgot the name of the part but there is a need. Its a small rubber spoke type structure.

About ROLON you might get it any local auto part shop, Ask Bajaj, they might have stock!

Any idea on how much the rubber bush alone costs??Bcoz my mechanic had told me that chain sprocket is fine and he needs to replace a rubber bush kind of thing for smooth gear shifts.Is it true??

Ahh rubber bush is the word..bravo!
Yes, it costs around 100 odd bucks, bajaj manufactures one of its own. Use that cz its preferred. The MRP will be on the pack itself.
Yes you need to replace that if its torn, i mean the joints are no more present.
You can check that on your own too.
Put your bike on main stand in netural gear.
check for movement of tire, observer carefully now,
When you rotate the tire is the bush moving first then the tire???if this is so then it means the bush is no more active and a replacement is required..
If the tire rotates immediately with the bush also means its perfect.

Neways this wont cost more than 150Rs. Its a must to replace it after 10k kms...

Thank you eshan!!I've completed 13000kms and think its time to change the bush.

**JASMINE RIDER** · 07-08-2011, 05:19 PM

in my case bike is just reaching 9500kms..no problems for chain and sprocket. some sound is coming from chain which will be cleared after cleaning during this service.but can feel the roughness of the engine.gear shifts are smooth till this late period.

.
what are the things to notice after this service?

Change of spark plugs
Change of Air filter sponge
Change of rear and front brake pads and shoes
Clean fuel tank
Check for wear and tear of chain sprocket
Check tappet settings
Check battery charge (most svc dont do this)
Check for Cone set alignment
Check for Clutch Plates, Change if there is a huge drop in acceleration and mileage
Tires i dont think they are worn at 10,000 kms cz mine are still good and corner well apart from being 28,000kms old!

Pretty much is covered, if any missing please correct me!

Well guys finally the chain sproket has been changed under warranty no payment been made well the bad news is that the guy who did the work has done something which he should have not done. He has closed the gap of the tyre and the chain cover so close that now the tire is getting rubbed have taken the snaps sharing it with u all have a look what BAJAJ does in after sales service is perthtic not at all professional

Any stock 180 UG4 has ROLON chain and sprocket. My bike too has ROLON chain sprocket and they are expensive. I don't know about any Bajaj made 'diamond chain brand', tell me one.

@arjun: How did u get the chain sprocket replaced under warranty?It is mentioned that parts like chain sprocket etc cannot be replaced under warranty or is it applicable only under 10000kms??

Horrible work by the SVC guys.Could he not see the chain case touching the tyre??

**arjunb25** · 07-08-2011, 11:51 PM

Well I don't know how he managed to give me the warranty but never the less it was done for free that's matter for me the most. Yes very perthtic work done by them.

**VD17** · 07-09-2011, 03:24 AM

Even my chainset has started to make the typical noise of a one that is going bad when i accelerate. I crossed some 10900kms or something.

Which bush is it? Can you help with a pic?

**abhichotu.abhi** · 07-09-2011, 11:04 AM

@arjunb: Your sprocket seems tobe heavily WORE-off (as seen in picture). How did this happen? I suspect that this might only happen under some serious riding or negotiation in maintenance of chain.

now more confused about my chain and sprocket to..

exactly what kind of sound will be this "last breath" of our chains?

**surya teja** · 07-09-2011, 02:48 PM

It has been clearly mentioned about the parts that can be replaced under warranty in the bike manual booklet.

I remember my third free service bill was around 300 rs.
