Its not fair...warranty card doesn't say that

advice plz

The same goes with me too.. thus unable to analyse mileage out of my beast.. well its good till the time i dont know it else i will start bothering over it. he he lol

P180 is definitely one of the most reliable machines out of the Bajaj stable.
I have covered 30000kms without a glitch.

Last week, had gone on a ride to pushkar. Coming back, I did a non stop Jaipur to Delhi in 3hrs 10min... constantly over 85, and going upto 121 sometimes... but generally 85 to 100 ... no probs whatsoever ..

donot take below as oppose:

"I really donot know why you guys are so worrying to find about reserve point???"

i mean that whenever you feel that bike needs to be shifted into reserve, then, just do that what's wrong in it??

I'll be going to buy tires for my bike(discover). I'll visit the white's road tomorrow & you have a PM.

i noticed oil leaking from the top part of the engine.took it to the service centre and they applied some liquid which was supposed to stop the leak but the problem cropped up again within a few days.

Which oil are you using?????

++ Buy Anabond from car auto parts shop and apply it yourself on the affected area. It will solve the problem.

Hi guys,

I m a silent looker on xBHP.. I own a Pulsar 180 UG4. 1200 km done...
I got P180 UG4 by reading all comparisions and answers posted here on xbhp only..

I was really vry happy whn bought my bike.. But i have found lots prblms with P180 UG4 and now regrettin my decision...

I was goin to buy apache rtr 180 but my frnd suggested to go for p180 ug4... somehow my mind changed and i booked pulsar180...
Now i m thinkin.. i wish i wud have taken apache rtr 180 or P220 for tht matter.. it wud have been money well invested..

Now u guys must be thinkin y i m so depressed with my bike..well it started off well.. Just my galfrnd sat on it my bike for the first time..
the road was little upward ride and i was ridin in 3 rd gear... then 2nd... thn 1st..

i felt the lack of torque in this ver of p180.. with a pillion the power out this bike produces is'nt anythin better than a 100 cc bike...

Initial acceleration sucks.. and i takes more than 20 sec to reach 100kmph...

mileage is not better than 35 kmpl... it has completed 1st servicing.. n i m not able to decide whts wrong

Is there somethin wrong with my machine...

Abhi Bhai.. tension is liye hai coz at any point of time bike is not coming to reserve but still showing low fuel bar(1-2) it might be a case person using reserve fuel being in main condition, this may disappoint a person if he is on some important way and bike get dried up he he and person like me dont want to be in any panic situation.

Anyway i m thinking this time. let the oil get completely utilized will not top up the bike untill and unless bike resist to move further & demands movement to reserve nob

@ BORNFREE

I understand your situation bro, if you ride with a pillion on any bike say p220 or A180 or any other higher end bikes you will for sure feel the diff in torque & then by acceleration & then by handling & then by pickup etc.... even i have faced too in many cases, but believe me i never felt that its match to any 100 cc torque bike, no offense to you but i m very much convinced with the affects by Pillion, its basicaly upto the rider & as how he extract the maximum power per gear shift.. do look at your driving style may be you would be revving very hard and gear shifting would not be appropriate, regarding mileage, you will be getting more than 35 kmpl for sure but get it serviced properly or get your carb tuned. it might be running at rich, hope so u will find any thing appropriate/useful out of this. else its not the end, you may at anypoint of time get you newbie exchanged & buy A 180 . not a bad deal actually..

@ himanshumm

Hi Bro .. thanks for replyin.. infact.. thanks for understandin....

Actualy things r quite okkk... when i drive my bike alone.. I travel 45 km daily(up & down) to my office.. and my machine jus give the better response with every twist of wrist...

but sometimes i gotta pick a pillion while comin from office and thts whn i felt this lack of power or speed or torque ..whtevr u say..

Second problem is ..engine heats up like hell with pillion.. i understand this fact tht bangalore traffic is pathetic and i have to pull clutch and apply brakes lot of times... But its heating too much i guess..jus not normal..

I always fill petrol from BP bunks.. and maintain speed of 60-65 most of the times.. but it has never return more thn 35 kmpl to me...

One more thing i wanted to ask is.. As i have done 1200 km..

1st servicin was done at 600 km and i m still with SVC engine oil..
-- shall i go for engine oil change on my 2nd service..
-- Which will be the best suited Oil for my machine...
--Shall i continue with mineral Oil.. though i m not very sure wht oil SC guys have used last in service..

-- How is castrol active for P180...

@BORN FREE

Thanks brother,

Brother dont even bother to change the engine Oil poured by SVC guy till your second service done, after that say when you done 1000-1500 + and keen to change the oil, get it changed with 20W50 grade recommended oil for p180, u may use valvoline 4T or Motul , dont worry now, but whenever you visit SC do mind to ask which Oil are they pouring in, which grade. try to be more quantative and ask so many confusions or questions you have, let them mind you.. as after all you are going to drive your beast & take care of her not them. it is very best practise if person can get the oil changed in front of self, so u may try this in ur second service centre,
Regarding Castrol, I guess its good oil to be used but i personaly not recommend it as i dont find the grade same as recommended, also its best for high end machines..
But cant sure if it can serve you much better than other too. (u never know) ..

First of all, I want to convey is that your bike will never run out of fuel if it is in 'main' knob position, it will husstle to move and then you would be shifting to 'reserve' knob position. so, there is no point that you will run-out of fuel in 'main' position

Try it and you will know.
Hi,
The machine is a bit less on torque; its true. And coming to the 2nd point, brother you have only ridden the bike for 1200kms so it will take time for you to adjust according to your bike capabilities. Try to understand "What your bike needs from you??" i mean to say that try to get a feel of the engine, find out at which RPM the bike is running husstle free and that's it you and your bike will soon get satisfied with each other's performance.
Mileage issue:
"It depends on your riding style, even if you ride sanely at speeds of 40-50kmph then too you might get low mileage because alot depends on how you reach a particular speed??. If you reach say 60kmph with very sane twist of wrist then you will get more mileage then, when, you will get to 60kmph by ripping your bike."

BTW, I am getting mileage figures(P180 UG4) between 48-52kmpl and my bike has not gone below 48kmpl mark in the 6000kms.

Stick to SC oil till 2nd service, At 3rd service you can go for oil of your choice.
SC guys use Mineral oil and it serves its purpose very well for city rides and little touring.
