oh my god...confusion is shooting up"
how can we check this all?.
they changed it saying 10.000kms service kit,which includes this all

10,000 kms is more or less the right frequency at which you need to change them actually.

I do not know if they have changed the spark plugs and stuff. But i am pretty sure about my bill never exceeding the above said amount.Around 12000kms i had gone to the Castrol bike zone.During this time i even told the mechanic to check with the spark plugs and air filter.He checked both of them and said that they were fine.

Buddy , no need to worry.maybe they have done what needs to be done for 10000kms.Who knows, if my guys over here skipped all this .Will go home and check it .

@jasmine:

Labour for changing the stem oil will be counted as separate. But, it should not be more than 80-100 Rs. Ask them to give a list of the repairs for which they charged you the amount. And yes, that Bajaj oil is shitty, I too experienced a leap of roughness after I changed it to 10,000. That is a semi-synthetic oil and Bajaj claims a lifespan of 10,000 kms on it when the oil itself is not good for more than 2000 Kms.

U can check it in the bike manual book.To be precise, page 21.Hope this helps.

crossing the red line

Hi,

While on last few riding trips, somewhere around 126-128 the rpm starts touching the red area and the red indicator starts beeping, a sign of potential engine freeze, may be coz of rev lock.
Though quite tempted to go further, i restrict myself.
Has someone tried going above or tweaked engine for the same.

I once rode at 124 in 4th gear at ~11.2k RPM. But never came across rev limiter. The manual says the rev limiter comes into play after 10.5K RPM.

My Pulsar150 UG3 does ~111-112kmph on the speedo in 5th gear at ~9500rpm (this i'm not completely sure about 9.5 or 10

). This is when the warning light keeps blinking and i have to slow down.

Does a stock P150 UG3 have a top speed of 111 only? I'm sorry this is P180 thread but i could not stop myself asking this.

Your bike is faulty.

Just joking, I have too observed the same, sometimes the rev-limiter never kicks-in although I think that it has more to do with RPM needle error then with any electronics of the bike.

Going by the speedos I have seen P150s doing in excess of 120 Kmph. (which surely is only a speedo error) Some of them claim that the bike goes till about 129kmph. (Neither do I believe them nor do I oppose them).

Personally speaking a 180 also starts crawling after 110kmph, twist more throttle engine will start crying till about you reach 117kmph, and after that it depends on the surrounding environment (wind factor, tarmac, uphill,....); Although the bike screams for an ease on throttle after 120kmph.

P.S: I am not starting any speed war.

Hehe does this mean that my speedo is not erroneous.

I think 110-111 is good enough speed for an indian 150 that's specifically tuned for a balance between fuel economy and power.

@abhi--- every bike starts to scream after 110(talking about <200 segment)... p180 goes all the way screaming to 125 ..doesn't make a difference....these engines are not hotshot engines...they're indigenous.. we can't expect more from them can we? it reaches 125~127 with some effort and lot of screaming...

i have no issues going past 120 every time i attempt a top-speed run.

yes the bike does take a while to go from 115-to 125 (and above.

)

beeping or blinking?

and if you're implying that the engine will seize if you push it further...
that's not entirely true.

the rev-limiter will automatically kick in...
you don't have to worry about your engine seizing.

i've ridden for 2-3 kilometers at a time at FULL throttle. no problem.

@ceasar' the text in bold,
Is it true in the case of Yamaha R15? I do not have personal experience but people say it has a very refined engine and cruise at 100+ speeds easily? Does that scream too?
