Nope, I had a thought but then some one advised me not to go for it.
I think it was samarth? Ask him, I guess he had changed his tire back then, he told me that acceleration dropped and also mileage got reduced by 2 or 3. It is not worth it unless your are for the looks and the added grip. AFAIAMC I'm happy with the stock 100/90 MRF Zappers

Hard Gear Shift

hey guys, last month, I was facing problem with gear shift, it had become very hard and and some times used to stuck 1st gear. ASC guys told to me to change clutch plates as they were burnt out, (the term they used), and new clutch plates were put in. The gears were smooth once again, and after 500 kms I switched to Motul 300V FS (it doesn't have JASO MA properties as standard written over box). The gears were smooth and I went to Ahmedabad from pune, and I noted considerable loss in top speed in acceleration, also bike was revving only to 10k(though had extra long open stretches) and extra heating also, though it did not break down, and while I was on verge of completing trip to pune, I noticed hard gear shifting again. And now its again same, it isn't shifting smoothly between 1st -N - 2nd, also rest are also giving a khat sound. Mechanic says its because of Oil, it doesn't have all the recommended properties, and suggesting to change oil as plates are new.
But I also know many are using 300v without any problem. Any faced similar issue or can suggest something that i should get checked ?

please check your chain slakness...it will be too tight..correct it.

It's alright
any other thing ???

i did face the same prob i changed my gear shaft an clutch plates now it's smooth...........

I searched for that philips premium 55/60w bulb but what i got is osram 55/60w cool blue .... fitting this can i get a clear vision

Thats a common issue...Btw how many on the odo did you change the clutch plates?? i remember i had to change them when it clocked around 36,000kms...

Well the problem you are facing is a loose clutch cable nut which is there near your right leg above the oil filler cap... Yes that nut goes loose if it has woven treads... Tighten it and you should do fine.

Oil does play a negative effect only when it has been less in the chamber or has exhausted its working limit -
Mineral - 2500kms
SS - 5000kms
FS - 7,500 to 10,000kms

Now, in your case i do not see anywhere close by where the oil should be the culprit...

Please check lever adjustments too... thats also one of the major contributors for the clutch to go rough when changing gears.

I changed plates after 18,000 kms. :-/
I will check the nut, but it is mostly fine.

One more question, how much harm can redline do to our PULSAR 180 engine, say for example I was driving contantly just near the redline starts for like 30 mins...how much adversely will it effect clutch plates, engine oil ?

Sounds good...

Redline harm... Dude engines are tested for straight 24hrs at redline speeds inside testing chambers to see how they perform in regards to fatigue and exhaustion...
30mins is nothing compared to tests performed.

Engine oil yes, if its mineral then usual wear and tear would be at its peak since the engine is operated at those speeds.

Clutch plates nope no harm either.

It is advisable not to stress the engine so much also, consider taking some breaks instead of pinning continuously.

Bingo is the word.
Tighten in the sense that move it to left or right to change the clutch leaver tension. Make the clutch just a little tight.

That worked, Also lubed chain, considering how it was earlier, it kind of very smooth for time, but one more thing is, whenever I speed up(to 80-90s), or say engine gets heated up, and after that if i have to slowdown and then shift between 1 - N - 2, the shifting is again hard, not that hard, but yes, I am guessing it is something to do with engine oil ??

And pick up has also considerably gone down

since the suggested method worked i believe you spent unnecessarily on those clutch plates. This is what Bajaj does everytime. So before changing anything do post here.

About engine heating - Bhai Summers are here!!! expect the engine to heat up quickly. It would be different in winters iam so sure on that..

Pick up gone down might be because of Carb Settings.

One advice, try not to change the grade of the oil. I know motul 300V is perfect but dont, you can work out with 20w50 Motul Gold. Trust me Rs310 ka can hai and it works wonders for 2,500kms and then change it, Rs310 hi jaate hai. And the engine works fine.

Is Motul 20w50 Gold mineral oil ?
I am thinking of motul semi 15W50 ??
or does grade effect that much ? I mean the lower temperature one ? i.e 15 or 20 ?

Motul 20w50 Gold is Mineral - Requires changing around 2000 to 2500kms

You are correct lower the temperature much better performance so 15w50 but are we facing lower temperatures?? Summers are here, so keeping the base grade w50 look for higher heat capabilities. So if winters here i would advice you for that 15w50 but its summers so suggest you go for 20w50 Grade which is the GOLD one, sastaa and tikaav

and does it fair well in high speed revving ?
