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

    .
    That might be possible for you coz you now have a superb aerodynamic setup. I mean the R15 fairing and all.

        Yes, no super high expectations, just made my point about what I felt with the bike.

        Man o Man!! I never talked about an HYBRID BREED ('R'-'180') that in anyway is a special case, please refrain from old technology horses like ours.

        beeping or blinking?

        It's like 'Blipping the throttle' which is an indication of revv limiter kick-in.

        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.

        Don't compare, its one brilliant bike, don't you see how XIONITE R-180 flies magically past 130+ kmph.

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

        The one which gives the best lightning is the one which is on AIR PLANES. Please have them in your bike it will be "Lightning of your Life".

        Upgrade magneto coil to a thick wire one, then go for a 55\60w halogen or use a HID+projector.(best bet)

          Neither do i...can't comment on it! i am told that it is very refined and does 125+ easily... but i haven't ridden a r15 so. .. no luck!

          cruise at 100+? p180 does that pretty easily,whenever i do highway run..i cruise at 110 all along 70kms ..not a problem..only thing is that it takes a while go past 115..and when it goes past 115..it reaches 120 with min effort... from that point ..it struggles.!

              Chill..Clean and lube it!



              Sir, this is your intution that something can go wrong at 10K kms. If this is the case then Bajaj would be selling stuff with only 10k Kms warranty, why have they extended to 30K Kms, is it for customers like you which do think that 10K is the mark for parts to get damaged, Sorry sir but this is not got anything to do. If you so hate bajaj then why wait till Jan, why did you buy a pulsar in the first place if the hatred is more than commuting and using the vehicle for emergencies. Let me tell you that Bajaj is still preferred and operated in rural areas (we dont come from them but definitely love the way they are helping every Indian to make his dream a reality of owning two wheels)

              Chain sprockets depend on the type of speed and maintenance you carry. As mentioned you ride around 40-50kmph. And you lube it with EP90 gear oil but i would surely ask you to clean the chain first then apply lube. Well let me tell you something every morning i red line the bike to 130 thats like 90% more of what you ride every sec, every minute, every hour. I lube the chain every week, yes its a machine. I saw the pics in the next post and I must say you do not maintain the bike well. Be it honda or even a ducati it will wreck at 10,000 kms if the maintenance is that bad.




              Completely agree with you....yep buddy...28,500 kms still going good. Its the same stock chain sprocket parts i got with the bike. 5,000 kms chain sprocket?? what are they made of Condom material??? Hell no!!!!



              Well iam glad you became a BP patient than being a MR Late ( if you had a Ducati or something) kidding Sir. But no offence. Whats with the bajaj lingo neway???

              Yes you need to change the rubber coupling when changing chain sprocket set. Cost around 100 odd rs or max 150Rs.
              You can open a hatred Bajaj thread if you like for all grieveinces against the brand. Please be abuse free atleast in this thread Sir.



              Yep 10,000kms is so not the life span. The performance of my bike chain is still the same and perfect as per a new bike. (Man i love your green wonder)



              Arre they are just telling in case of any further problems. If you are ignoring them be ready to maintain it top notch. If not then you change it. no worries with it.
              well dont worry my dear only few more months let me get a new bike in my hand then u will not see me in this thread for sure. and above all it is an open forum and i dont abuse or anything ok well what i went through i only know keep yourself in my shoes then u will understand what goes through when u have pathetic service guys after they only spoil the name of bajaj your fav.. company and as u said my dear friend why did i go for bajaj when this was the case well i had no other options ok. so just chill ok.

              • 10,000k kms service update..

                now bike became very smooth after 3rd free service.in last 2 days my bike was in rest(it was heavy rain here at kerala). so, cant taste my bike after 3rd service. now after 2 days, today morning bike started with a single try. but bike was in very low rpm in idling and bike stopped some time after idling. in second try it was ok. then gone for ride. bike was very smooth to ride..gear box was very smooth. gear lever was very eager to shift it.very positive gear box. now i more like to shift gear lever..
                no vibrations..bike feels very smooth in high reverse.now feels like bike is most less straining in 60-80 kms.
                now my average speed is 65-70.
                air filter is changed, two spark plugs changed.they are champion spark plugs..
                now i am happy with 3rd service.

                  I tried the air planes lights, then the engineer said i need to install bigger batteries so i said alright but it seems pulsars battery area is too small for the air planes one so i dropped the idea.

                  BTW how much is the upgrade of magneto coil to thick wire going to cost and any disadvantages of doing so and.........thank you.

                  • Lol... then try carrying a generator on the bike and power 2 big high mast lamps from it.

                    Don't know the cost, but it will only be advantageous. Go to an auto electrician (generally the one who works on car electricals) and ask him for the rewinding job, he will redirect you to the coil-rewinding guy.

                      You could use coil from APE, which is a direct fit and perfect for your job. If your total budget is about 1.5 k then go straight for HID.

                      About ape coil, pm drvrtm. He know it better.

                        Magneto needs rewinding, the charging coil is a different altogether thing.

                        • Guys, guess what??!!! Bajaj is launching a new pulsar with only cosmetic changes in august. And a totally new pulsar based on a completely new platform in the last quarter of this financial year. I heard the wholly new pulsar is being developed with the help of austrian bike manufacturer KTM!

                                That's what I was talking about. If you post any NEWS then post the source from which the news was taken, here it is DNA newspaper. As simple as that.
