    Nice pictures!!
    But.... mmmmm wait!!!!!

    You got a new sticker... I want to say something that might hurt, so below are my thoughts:
    "The choice of the sticker is good, but the colour you have choosen is 'Black' and colour of your bike is 'RED', this means that the sticker will not give any contrast to the bike, becuz it is not visible that much clearly at forst sight. and that was the reason i went for a white stickering job on my Black bike, a white sticker is more sightable than any pthre color on black(my thought)."
    Another thing i noticed is RAMKI try to get that 'RAMKI' wordings on the lower half of tank scoop line.(just where P200 has OIL COOLER sticker).
    One more thing get those RED RIMS changed looking very ODD on your bike.

    My suggestions are as below
    "Choose Silver(radium) color or a light color for all of your stickering job and do all stickering(including RIM) of same color, for example Silver sticker+Silver RIms, and make sure that RIMS are not too much thick as they are now."

    NOTE: I am extremely sorry if any of my words appeared to you as criticise. but i donot have any intention of bombarding you with negative thought's, I just only wanted to make something better for you.

    and if you feel disappointed on my thoughts then do "ABUSE" me. yes, i mean do give me all sort of "GAALIS(bad words)" you know.

    AT the end of all i want to say"Your RED BEAST still rules (tons over my black one)"

    everytime i gave them my bike for service they would charge 220 for engine oil ..castrol power 1 that is..i appreciated them as they charge only 220 compared to other SC sice they charge 300 for it
    now i got the reason,they never changed the oil the last time i gave them for the service, i was a fool to ignore that,i felt thers something missing after the service..ie smoothness ..but i ignored it ...
    so i bought a 300rs castrol power 1 can ..and asked a roadside mech to fill it...and ther u go ..engine came back to life ...very smooth i week passed with a long ride...still the same smoothness,other wise earlier the smoothness used to vanish after the day the bike was serviced
    Castrol Power 1 is 20W40 and Bajaj recommened 20W50 oil for P180, ASAP use 20W50 oil.

        i dont think you should use white RamKI ...it would be distracting..for abhi bike its ok,bcoz his bike is black,urs is red..so the best color would be black itself...in this pic..the image is only a out lined one..so the next time use a detailed one..
        as far as the rim tape goes,its lookin good when its shining,but it was lookin odd in thge morning,too thick
        hmm i don't think any color would look good on ur bike as ur bike is RED.
        silver--?? golden?? nope..they will look odd too.

          ya that is why i said i dint want to add more colours like white to the bike.
          wanted to maintain black and red theme
          about rim tapes somebody suggested golden tape.
          i have no idea.
          because in my place all the red bikes are either red or plain.
          blue bike i ve seen silver.it was good!
          if u can get any pics please show it to me guys!

              my thoughts are exactly opposite of your's
              Silver,Golden will look the best on a red colored bike and WHITE color rules over every color.

              It does not matters you can have 4-5 colors on your bike but the colour combination should be well synchronized, Use silver RIM's or GOLDEN RIM's , both will look good , and golden color stickering job will do wonders to your bike..

                • Sorry guyz I have been away with exam
                  firstly :
                  I serviced my bike (first) 20 days ago...
                  1. Gear shifting is been smoother after pouring motul at SC.
                  2. Overall noise has been increased because (I think) excessive oiling to chain or loosen of chain (help me here)....I mean when u ride with engine off, rattling noise of chain is audible..I think it was silent before..
                  3. Focusing of headlight is not proper...they said they were going deal it afterwords...n I was going to fix it later but I couldn't.

                  Secondly :
                  day after yesterday I was doing sane riding nearby my house...I was taking last turn to my house..on that blind turning spot a small mental kid came out of nowhere, I was doing 20-30 n metal parts of my bike touched the earth...m unhurt with just few brushing, helmet didn't touch the ground...its just the bike m worried about...actually it didn't skid a bit but urgent braking on 90 degree turn did something which I dont remember..
                  1.left leg guard is bent
                  2.visor got some brushing
                  3.left leg peg is bent
                  4.little brushing on clutch lever n left end cap of handle
                  5.n m reaching to 57 at 4k which(bfore it was 54 to 4k)...I think thats bcuse of the techometer neddle is not pointing correctly, it points bfore 0k when engine is off.
                  6.when bike fell there was something dark liquid fell from the bike..I dont know wat it cud be? maybe some water remained inside metal part at washing or engine oil (Is it possible?)

                  plz help me guyz,
                  can I claim insurance for parts mentioned above?

                        iam afraid,these are not covered under insurance
                        the dark fluid must be engine oil,what else it could be? ,it is ofcourse possible,engine oil leaks..i have seen many bikes leaking engine oil when the fell

                            u can of course use 15w50 but AFAIK castrol power 1 is 20w40 which is not recommended for 180
                            u have to use either valvoline premium 4t 20w50 or motul 5100 T

                              so that means what the company is going to put valvoline premium 4t 20w50 i have to put that only i cannot put castrol at all u r trying to say here.

                                what ? bajaj is not going to pour any oil into ur bike...
                                once u buy,the bike is filled with an oil(dunno which oil they fill) at the factory itself..and u have to change it within 1 month
                                company doen't recommend any brand ,once u get ur bike check its manual,all they recommend is the GRADE of the oil along with particular certification
                                for p180-recommended grade is 20w50 JASO MA ratings ...(grade refers to viscocity index of the oil)
                                its usr choice whether to use castrol,valvoline,motul etc etc..
                                as far as i know castrol doen't have a good 20w50 oil..Castrol activ Xtra is 20w50 but it has got a very bad reputation
                                another MOTUL has got 10w50 FULLY SYNTHETIC 300VFL oil..which is not recommended for a new bike until it crosses 6000-7000 km

                                so the only choice left is either valvoline or motul..i dunno much about ELF bcoz i didnt come across any one who r using this on pulsars
                                i know about valvoline..its a great oil to have 300 per litre
                                and regarding motul 5100 iam awaiting response from fellow member abhi
