Re: Clear my doubts please-Pulsar 180

Yes, expect average to be around 40 KMPL.

Re: Clear my doubts please-Pulsar 180

Well...you will get a little bit of less fuel economy during your journey but this would not be permanent.....just for the journey.

Re: Clear my doubts please-Pulsar 180

I am pretty sure you will get 42-44 KM/Ltr
I mean between 90-110 KM/Hr on highway.
because we are getting it.

but I will not recommend more than 50 Kms non-stop riding on your P180 (because of our previous experience)

Re: Clear my doubts please-Pulsar 180

thanks guys.

This is my first long ride. Any particular measures that i should take, or any tips you would like to give. It would be a great help.

Re: Clear my doubts please-Pulsar 180

Enjoy the ride. Ride at very high speed only where you see the road till the far end. Never gamble.
Don't worry about overheating. Bike doesn't overheat even if you keep riding above 100 all day long.
BTW Wear all the gears you have.

Re: Clear my doubts please-Pulsar 180

1. Make sure you have the engine oil topped up having a 15W50 rating, air filter cleaned up, tyre pressure checked, head light, tail light, indicators, horn, brakes. If possible fill her up from a Shell petrol pump. It's a bit costlier than rest of the petrol pumps but you'll be surprised to see the mileage of P180.
2. Take water bottle, some light chocolates like snickers etc,
3. Pollution certificate, RC, insurance papers.
4. Have a sound sleep before you start your ride.
5 Above all, wear your gears and keep that horse under control.... Live safe ride hard....!! All the best for your journey and do post some pics after you return.

Re: Clear my doubts please-Pulsar 180


that is very helpful...will be going next weekend..will surely post the pics..the bike is due for servicing in like 400 kms..so should i first complete them ,get it serviced and then go for the roadtrip or get the servicing done after the roadtrip..??

Re: Clear my doubts please-Pulsar 180

You're welcome... The 1st point along with lubricating the chain will make sure your bike doesn't troubles you during your ride. You can get it serviced after returning from the trip. Oh and by the way, the manual contains a piece of information something like ' Servicing due at xxxxx Kms or XX days, whichever is earlier', so follow that manual.

Re: Clear my doubts please-Pulsar 180

Okie...m following that manual..and i lubricate the the chain at every 500 kms with the chain spray..!

Re: Clear my doubts please-Pulsar 180

Re: Clear my doubts please-Pulsar 180

Krishna Motors in Wanowrie, next to Fame Ganesh are authorised Bajaj SVC guys... They have done wonders with my P180 and an Avenger of a friend.. I trust them..

Also, please make a habit of "Reply with Quotes" so that the guy can get a notification that his comment has been quoted and he can come back to you quickly...

Re: Clear my doubts please-Pulsar 180

Re: Clear my doubts please-Pulsar 180

No idea about afr setting.. Sorry..! They'll set it according to your need.. either power or mileage..

Re: Clear my doubts please-Pulsar 180

[MENTION=62079]Taahir[/MENTION]:
First of all, Are you sure that they retuned the carb? Because a general servicing also changes the exhaust note. There are two things which are handled in general servicing and do change the exhaust note. First is cleaning Air filter, yes it does change the exhaust note to some extent. Second is the water sipping in the exhaust while a bike wash. Second is quite temporary but yes it does dumb down exhaust note to some extent.

How to know if bike's not properly tuned? The engine overheats and you know that by feeling the heat on your legs(This is lean mixture). Engine knocks in higher gear but at very low RPM like riding at the speed of 30 in 5th gear and bike knocks if you twist the throttle(This is rich mixture). Other factors also change such as top speed, acceleration, exhaust note etc.

I have happened to use these two methods for retuning and none of them are standard.
