Thanks, will do it at next point of service.

Re: Bajaj Pulsar 180 (All Versions)

Clutch is loose. Tighten it a little.

Re: Bajaj Pulsar 180 (All Versions)

Use 20w50 oil and as lockhrt pointed out, check clutch play and your problem should vanish..

Pulsar 180 UG4

I have pulsar 180 UG4. Problem is, when i start my bike and switch on the headlight, after 3-4 minutes meter shows low battery warning and horn also gets dim. I dont know whats the problem. Even authorised dealer couldnt find. Please help me.
Due to this problem i changed battery three times as company told me to do so.

Re: Bajaj Pulsar 180 (All Versions)

For the past two days I am noticing, when I am starting my bike, I feel minor shocks on the accelerator grip (leftmost part of it). Also, rear brake is making a loud squealing noise sometimes.

Re: Bajaj Pulsar 180 (All Versions)

What type of shock? Rear brake equipment squealing could be due to cold weather or misaligned/worn out brake shoes. If it disappears after repeated use and brake has not faded, it's fine I'd say. Else get the brakes checked.

Looks like either wiring issue or charger failure. Check the wiring harness completely and check the charging current for the battery. Experienced forum members can provide better suggestions here I guess..

Re: Bajaj Pulsar 180 (All Versions)

It does disappear after sometime, still I think I should get it checked as its happening for the first time.

Regarding my other issue, others too please advice.

Re: Bajaj Pulsar 180 (All Versions)

Good thing to check it earlier rather than suffering later. About your other issue, I don't understand what you are trying to say.. Could you elaborate?

Re: Bajaj Pulsar 180 (All Versions)

It is generally happening in the morning. Whenever I am keeping my thumb on the encircled part, i can feel some buzzing, like a small amount of electric shock.

Re: Bajaj Pulsar 180 (All Versions)

Even I have faced the same issue many time with my bike but it generally disappears after a short while I have got everything changed and also crosschecked it but there's no problem even my friends have seen this on there machines don't worry about it just ignore it. In Bajaj don't fiddle much with your bike if you do then for 1 thing you will get two more problem lined up at then end of the day. So just rode and enjoy it.

Re: Bajaj Pulsar 180 (All Versions)

You are talking about brakes or electrical issue?

Re: Bajaj Pulsar 180 (All Versions)

Electrical issues. I guess we all know the quality of Bajaj nothing is hidden from us. Currently I am facing internet issue is that my bike sometimes goes on the left hand side while we are on a straight road. I wonder what to do about this I have filled proper air pressure on it but does not seem to work intact I showed it to the service center too but they say that there is nothing. Wrong

Re: Bajaj Pulsar 180 (All Versions)

Firstly, Congratulations for the new Machine... Now the tips
The most important point and thumb rule: LOVE, RESPECT, VALUE and FEEL for your bike. "It" "Lives"... through YOU...!!

Now,

Non Technical

ALWAYS WEAR A HELMET WHILE RIDING YOUR BIKE OR ANY BIKE.

1. Be Excited and at the same time Calm and Composed. The Immediate power you get in hands may rev YOU up BUT it's the engine that has to rev NOT YOU.
2. Do not get into races and stunts as you get your hands on it, even though Pulsar themselves says "India's No. 1 Sports Bike", ITS NOT A TRACK TOOL but you can do some bouncing on it, that too LATER.
3. Always Keep the Bike single handed and ride sane and safe.
4. Always get your bike serviced in front of your eyes.

Technical

1. Whenever taking your bike out always idle it for 30-40 secs, use choke in cold weather and then go for a ride this is to circulate the oil evenly in all parts.
2. Do not (rather Never except in a few cases) rev the bike too much for rpms like 5-7k on stand still.
3. Ride at speeds of 50-65 for the first 2500-3000 kms as this is the run-in period of the Bike where the engine actually goes under the "Hormonal" changes.
4. While riding keep you rpm upto 4k and do not CONSTANTIZE you speed keep it varying.
5. You can go to speeds like 90-95 kmph if the road and your confidence allows you only ONCE or max TWICE.
6. Try running your bike in ON Mode and not in reserve.
7. Always keep checking your tyre pressure (sounds un-importance, but plays a vital role), and keep it as 28 & 32 for Front and Rear respectively.
8. Your engine might heat a bit more as compared to other older P180 engines, don't worry, that's because of the Run-in role that's happening inside.
9. After 2.5k-4k you can change your Engine Oil to Motul 15w50 Single Ester Semi Synthetic. Works like charm...

Fellows please add if I have missed anything...

And Most importantly ENJOY your RIDE...!!

But my bike is just 2.2 years old... and I never get a starting or crank problems (touchwood); the start is as crisp as it should be... its just that it unnecessarily pops up... I just want to be safe and keep my bro healthy... Anyways, I'll surely check the above mentioned things and will report back again. Thanks everyone for the Suggestions.

Re: Bajaj Pulsar 180 (All Versions)

Thanks prajwalmd for taking time and explaining in detail....
I'll follow them carefully....

The problem which i have now is, i got the bike fitted with EUROGRIP tyres instead of MRF's. They don't seem to be as grippy as the MRF nylogrip zappers.
The dealer also said that now all pulsar 180's come with only EUROGRIP tyres and not MRF's, don't know how far it's true. I can see p150 & p220 with MRF tyres
Can anyone suggest me some good tyres for replacement and it's approx price too....
Thanks in advance.
