Help Needed

Hi Guys,
Help me out Here.
I am from Delhi and ride Pulsar UG5, Model Oct 2011, Done 12000 Kms. I am thinking to go for K&N Filter. After some research I have came to know R-1060 is meant for Pulsar 180. But Here is one more thing that I pass By. Check Out K&N BA-2201 Air Filter
Here are my Questions:
1. Which One is Good?
2. I read somewhere that K&N filters are made for liquid cooled engines. Is it good to install it in Pulsar 180?
3. And the most Important. tell me address of any good mechanic who is capable of completing the whole work (I mean proper jetting and filter).

The stock switches of pulsar180 are designed for 35 watt halogen , though they can light up 55 watt easily , but not as bright as for 35 watt . I have tried adding a relay in p180 & the output is good than previous . That's why i said give a try to relay before rewinding or using ape rr .

300 amp through body may be mess up in wiring with open connection which touched body in mansoon . Can you tell what exactly happened .

the s.c people itself asked me this 5 k. actually,that s.c guy is my close friemd and,always he helped me a lot in payments by cutting some amounts every times. this is also icluding that cutting.
any way many thanks for this detailed price list. actually was searching this..
thanks you so much.. antz.bin

he is also offering a all white paint theme in bike for 5k

lol that 300 Amps was a pun. Current won't run through our body even though in reality we are connected to one battery terminal always.

Well buddy, actually switches are designed for 55W as entire pulsar lineup use same set of switch. Secondly I'm pretty much sure that relay doesn't increase electricity output. About P180 you tried, it must have had loose or burnt wires.

I've checked the wire harness. I'm sure that it can even handle 400-500W electricity load. I mean why shouldn't it? because, you see, some of the household wires are thinner than the bike's wires and still provide electricity to 700W computer or 1500W hair dryer since ancient time.

Only HIDs need relay because to lit it, meaning to ionize the xenon gas, blue shinny glittering electric arc has to be created. To create that arc our poor 12V battery input needed to be step up beyond several thousands voltage. Add to that HIDs suffer from reactance (negative resistance), which incandescent/halogens don't. Including those factors an HID creates super duper motherfcuking high induction. If switches used hastily that induction actually can create another electric arc inside switch box which will result in melting something.

K&N makes same filter for entire pulsar lineup. Plonk it in the bike yourself as very easy.
Don't go for upjetting right away. Run bike on new filter for few days experience it, see if the engine is running too lean (= too hot). If it doesn't I don't think there's any point upjetting. < I can be wrong though.

Thanks Brother. Plan dropped for one month- Next Month I am the Game.

Ignition problem in pulsar 180 (ug3)

Dear Xbhp members,

I own a Bajaj Pulsar 180 UG3 model (2006). For the past 3 months I experience a strange electrical problem in my bike. The problem is that the self starter (/motor) is automatically starting (working) even while the engine is ON. Even when I turn off the ignition and the engine kill switch, the self starter keeps on starting the engine and it drains the battery. Kindly provide me a solution for this problem. I love my bike very much but this problem irritates me a lot.

2years 11 months, 43,400kms completed... Alive and kicking with stock settings.

The more I ride, the more I fall in love with it. Will complete 3 years in next month.

Query Merged to ownership thread

And i think this is your first MOD Post i believe...Good going Antz

To balaji.ganesan - Coming back to the topic- Please check -

1) Starter Switch
2) Connections from the switch to the main starter unit.

As per your query, the starter is working fine, its functioning. So need not worry on that.
Problem lies in the switch since its working is to start the motor (Since its already being turned on all the time)...

Look out for loose connections too. Check battery terminals.

Remove the K&N, its crap. Being very honest to you.
Go to Bajaj SVC, give it for service - add comments, increase in pick up and fuel economy.
The bike will be back to normal. Make sure he performs the IDLING check on your bike too.
Remove the K&N at home, dont tell the SVC guys that you had install one as this would terminate your warranty. Change the filter at home. Dont even tell them that you had installed K&N.

@Eshan: Congrats Man! You're doing it fast and furiously reaching half a ton. I am only at 26K now instead of regularly riding the bike.:P

The lower neck of the head is leaking oil heavily, must be the blew gasket and I replaced it a few thousands kms ago only. Will get it checked next time.

@lockhrt: Are you continuing with 55w bulb?

Yeah buddy, btw did you check the pic?? isnt she gorgeous!!! just love her stance..

Btw Lockhrt can you install a 55w bulb on our steeds?? is there any modification required??? or just plug and play of the bulb?? i need an upgrade in the lights section...

Oh... yeah I forgot to mention about the picture in the last post, its SPECTACULAR! both the view and bike. (Which place BTW?) Does'nt look that old. Do you wash it regularly, I do it once in a month and sometimes once in 2 months or untill the bike is serviced.:P
