  • Re:re:which engine oil

    This is a contd. post of my last post 'which engine oil'.Didn't find a reply button so i'm posting this as a new one.Today i had taken my bike for 2nd service and i think i experienced my 1st bitter experience w/ its service.The service guy screwed the electricals,now i lights flash off and on when i turn the handle bar to right.Anyways i'm gonna fix it tomorrow...So today i took it for 2nd S,had done 2060kms on the odo but the SC guy told that the engine oil need not be changed cos the bike has to run 2500 between consicutive service so didn't change the oil.I did show him the manual but he said it was ok to change the oil after i run it 1000 more kms..Wat is u guys' take on this?..Also they did the service in just few minutes compared to 1st servc which was 4 a day.They charged Rs50 for chain spray..Was it the same wit you?
    And what mileage your bike gets you? Mine's giving 42(i think its cos since i let the engine to heat keeping choke on for 30 seconds every morning).

      manual suggests to change engine oil at 5k means every alternate servicing...but here guys change it every 2500 kms because it can protect engine parts more effectively...
      SC charged me for 24Rs. for chain lube at first servicing.
      mileage is depend on your driving....driving at constant 50 can give you mileage of 47-50...I think 30 seconds on choke pulled is too much reduce it to 5 secs n keep the bike at idle rest of the seconds

            many guys hate pulsars because there are too many pulsars running on the roads..Its like saying I hate Amir Khan because too many people like him...I don't mind calling them psychos

            Pulsar can give 50+ mileage for long time..my friend owns an old pulsar150 which has clocked more than 3 lakhs kms. It still gives him 50+ average to his rash driving...

            there are issues with other bikes too
            I don't know why Hondas are called masters of the engine tech..I mean most unicorn public have got to change clutch plates in first 20k, even many change their pistons very early...hunk gradually lowers mileage if you are overweight...apache vibrates...fz gives mileage which is similar to p220...r15 is a masterpiece but even its alloys get cracked if you drive it at 120+ over potholes...good looks haven't increased ZMR sells...I feel the design of new autoexpo model of Unicorn is eccentric (well that's me !!)
            I can definitely tell that pulsar is not mend for drunker (salmaan)...I mean in case if you run over a pedestrian there are very minute chances that pedestrian can make out alive from that accident..200 lgs wight n huge tires can easily crush any skull

              Which engine oil are you using + is the leak from near the gear lever, becuz there is no point from where the bike can leak from the right side and if it is so then its not a big matter just need some sealing.

              "Depression" hahahahaha....... not so.. but what made you think so?? and please tell how to get over it?

              Our bikes will also need clutch plate change in between 20-30K kms depending on riding.

              Hi,
              Change the engine oil today itself because there are metal impurities present in the oil during the run-in period, so the oil drain period has to be quick or sooner, 1st 2 oil changes should be done in 2500kms as per scheduled and you should folow it, becuz the mechanic will not be responsible if anything went wrong with your bike? it will be you.

              Get the oil changed either at SC or buy your own oil ("20w50 oil") and go to the roadside mechanic, tell him to change the oil.

                    • Have you guys seen three hidden indicator on digital console besides 'low battery indicator'?...
                      I mean there are high temperature, low engine oil level indicator(just like cars) and one more that I don't recognize..
                      Do they function?
                      I think its something robust from bajaj for future models

                          Yes, i too had seen them, they are of no use on P180, but the bigger bikes P200,P220 have these indicators use.

                          • At the end of the last year Rahul Bajaj told that Bajaj will be launching UG 5 pulsars in May, June on CNBC...
                            What do you expect to see in UG5 pulsars?
                            speculate!!!
                            I think UG 5 will come with 4-valve engine and will be lighter than current.
                            Come on guys little spamming is not that bad
