Yes, that's the reason, get your motorcycle serviced at every 2000-2500 kms or 3-4 months. Oil should also be changed at every 2000-2500kms. Try the motul 5100(semisynthetic), its the best for pulsar 180. Mrp is 550 rs. But you can get it for 500. And if you want maximum performance, try the motul 7100(fully synthetic), price is around 800. About the vibrations, show it to service centre guys. The headlight assembly has many screws and bolts, so i think that they are loose. As the mechanic to tighten them properly, it would be better if you get this work done in front of you. Make sure that they ighten every nut and bolt.

Hello friends..

This is sathish, and i'm new to this thread. But i used to read lots of DIY threads and Reviews. I own Pulsar 180 UG4.

Here are the issues i am facing in my bike:

1. Head lamp
- Is it illegal to use white headlamps?
- What is the allowed headlight power by Indian government?
- If it is illegal, can we continue using the white headlight with lesser power rating.
(I heard that white lamps are powerful than yellow halogen lamps, so I thought its better to have white light source producing same vision with reduced power)

2. Brakes
- In my bike rear bread drum is not working perfectly. It locks most often, making some metal "Tappp" noise. Is it related with need to change break shoe issue?

3. Engine noise
- What could i do to reduce the engine noise in the bike. It became more louder and harder, it lost its smoothness.
- Is it common for the pulsars to have the engine noise like more or less same as turbo-engine sound after high speeds? (more airy "ssssssssss" sound)

4. Vibration
- My friend says his UG2 150 is better than my UG4 180. While sitting behind me, he says that he can feel the vibration through foot rest and through the seat. I feel bad when he says like that. Is there anything i can do?
- The console unit shakes like anything on some times, and it will be on its place peacefully on another times, the thing is, i noticed on same road, exact place.

5. Air pressure
- What should be the air pressure on both front and rear? I used to keep the pressure as 28/30. (Bike has the marking as 28/28 for single passenger, 28/32 for double. Since i ride the bike alone at most of the times, i keep the pressure as 28/30.)


It is OK, if it cannot be fixed or it is normal. All i want to know is the reasons behind everything, and is there anything that i can do for making it right.. Thank you..

hello guys, i am new to this forum, i own a pulsar 180 UG4, 5 months old.

The bike is due for its 3rd servicing after 500 kms. The bajaj oil is giving me good performance and average between 48-58 kmpl.

But, my friend who also has the same bike 4 yrs old is insisting me to opt for motul oil now onwards. what should i do. The bike has completed 6200 kms.

and what will be the drain period, ppl talk somthng about 20w50 oil and stuff..wil the warranty of my bike will be void if use some other oil than babjaj dtsi?

friends I have relocated to Hyderabad and my bike (Pulsar 180 ug-4) is in delhi at my sister's place. What care must be taken as she is standing under a cover in Delhi's Summer. I am not going back for the next two months. Lot of documentation needed to transport the bike from delhi to Hyderabad. please suggest.

Or If you cloud get a trusted friend to ride the bike around every other day it would be good enough.
