yes, the idle speed is low. At the time of cold-start, engine goes off if I leave the throttle in the initial stage, but later its works normally

is it !!!

there is no trouble apart from
1) At the time of cold-start, engine goes off if I leave the throttle in the initial stage, but later its works normally
2) it start to move-on on 1st gear only when it reaches the 2.7K to 3K

and one BIG advantage of my bike condition is, my friends could not able to ride it as engine goes off

And coming back to lean mixture: I heard that, lean mixture cause engine heat problem and hence it lead to damage in the piston rings and so on... (correct me if I am wrong). so as i said earlier, my RPM is set to 1000 (by default from day 1), and when i give choke it raises to 3000.
NOW the question is: do i need to change the CO% screw or idle screw?

(anyways am not going to touch any of those screws. but if i know something about it, i can say SVC guy to do as i needed)

bike moving forward at 3k is not good... Then tune the carb a bit.. Heat up the engine and then increase idling rpm to 1.4k first without touching the afr screw... Then turn the afr screw to make the mixture a bit rich and wait till it reaches somewhere close to 1.5k rpm...dont exceed 1.5k. Then check your ride and see if things inproove...you are running extreamely lean...what mileage are you getting...? And if possible dont use the choke much...instead start a bike and warm up using a little bit throttle and hold that position... You'll be good to go..

btw truely said sometimes we need to keep even friends away from our bike

Guys 1000kms update: She runs like a dream except for small niggles. Not terribly disappointed as I was mentally prepared for this as the bike was a completely new design and teething issues are to be expected. To sort out the oil pressure issue they swap out something that looks like a carb jet. It is accessed by removing the clutch side cover. should not take more than an hour for a competent mechanic to do.
However I have a totally different issue. since yesterday my high temperature lamp comes on in close traffic. The fan kicks in, the radiator coolant level varies when the bike is running and when it is switched off. Has the SVC guys a little puzzled. they have promised to get back to me in about a day. Any suggestions?

Service of NS

To every one
I don't know how useful this is but my friend was telling to take your NS to a SVC where they even do a service of Duke. I know there will be different mechanics but don't you think that would certainly help Bajaj guys.

The coolant level varying while the bike is running, and when standing is normal. The coolant moves throughout the engine, when the bike is running. Refer to the user manual, as the whole process has been nicely explained there.

If your fan is working, and the coolant level is between the Min and max position while at standstill, then every thing is working fine..

Thanks for your quick response guys.. I have sent a mail to customer care regarding the service center. Am planning to escalate it to some senior folks in bajaj and if i dont not get a satisfactory response, plan to drag them to consumer court

with such problem occuring frequently , i guess its time to ask them to replace your bike ..
idling at 8000rpm is something i have never heard before .. automatically accelerating even after leaving the throttle is seriously dangerous ..i had read here in xbhp that a guy had got his honda twister replaced for some engine problem ...demand a replacement now .. i think you might have to pay the road tax again then ...

Yes I just verified on my bike and there is a pipe. I think it is the coolant overflow pipe. It is being routed to some location through the side panel near the tank. i dont know where. But it seems like a pretty long pipe.

It could be possible that in the process of opening and refitting the tank the mechanics either forgot to fit the overflow pipe or removed it completely.

Just take it to a different SVC this time and tell them what has happened and get it rectified.

this problem of idling at high revs is not new in pulsars...its there in 180 and 220 also...specially 180ug4. The throttle cable gets pulled by the pully thingy near the carb which gets stuck... Needs a kick on the carb and some fiddling and it comes back to normal...that stupid mech should know this working in a bajaj svc... But that accelerating part is serious... Demand a replacement(close to impossible) so that the big buffs at bajaj sit up and notice atleast....

I dont know what the SVC guys were thinking, but when I read that ur RPM is stuck at 8k!!!!!, my 1st reaction was that the Accelerator cable must be getting pulled or stuck somewhere.
Right now can't make out of the loose pipe, u are talking about. Will check it out with my Destiny.

BTW, I don't think replacement is possible,(now that the NS has been rectified), but u can shoot a mail to bajaj, explaining the incident properly, and asking for an explanation for ripping the bike off during the run-in period.
This might also help ur case, if (God forbid) there is a engine seizure later)

It has always been these SVC ppl who mess up Pulsar. Well I don't know much about Bajaj but dude you certainly shouldn't leave them easily. You can try going to consumer court. Well this may sound too much but it is not. You just need to pay 100rs or something and you can file your case online. Trust me it works.
Hope your bike stays well in near future

don't' worry

I wish the mechanics who worked on my bike knew what you are talking about. They literally dismantled the bike twice in one day - once to replace the sensor, second time to get to the accelerator cable

My plan exactly - there is a service center where they fix ktm and ninja bikes.. All this headache just beacuse i went to a service center that was closer to my house

Thanks for the input. The coolant level variation shows that there is proper coolant flow. But what has me worried is the fact that the temperature indicator comes on only when the bike is running in congested traffic which is ideal condition for temperature to rise. Unable to pinpoint as there is sufficient coolant flow and oil flow. Lets see what the SVC guys come back with.

engine heating and radiator fan getting on in traffic is normal but no way the high temperature warning should glow... Check out with the svc guys... And coolant level varying is normal...when engine gets hot, the coolant level will increase because it expands under heat...
@all: what is the stock brake fluid rating? Dot3 or dot4?

**Sachin Blore** · 09-05-2012, 12:18 PM

Guys one problem!!!!

I saw the holder part of the Number plate Rusting as it was not painted properly.....
What should i do??
Should the Showroom people replace it or repaint it ??
Hoping to get a quick answer

get it replaced under warranty... The svc guys will try to repaint it.. Dont accept that and ask for a replacement...

Weird Throttle response at 2k-4k RPM

Since every one is sharing their problem on this awesome rainy day, I have one to share as well.
The throttle response behaves weird at the 2k RPM level.
On slight twist of the throttle, the response seems to be stuck at 2k level for about 2seconds (as if not getting adequate fuel) and then suddenly it pulls, and pulls REALLY FAST (kindda sudden acceleration) upto 3-4k and after that the response becomes linear and smooth.

I notice this while riding, and also while throttling while the bike is in neutral.

@Rahulbarik - The usermanual says we can top-up or Replace the brake fluid on both DOT3 and DOT4.

Thank you buddy for clearing my doubts

i will get it done at SVC and tell them to do as you said.
i did not checked my mileage properly, if the reserve limit is 2.4L as written in the manual, then my mileage should be 179km / ((1L+6L)-2.4L) =38.9 KMPL.
riding condition 22KM daily in Hyderabad traffic(mostly between 2nd to 5th gears)

Today morning @ 7AM i was heading towards MGBS, one guy suddenly crossed my way with the mass sitting posture on his bike (hope you got what Am trying to say), and asked me "enta istundi"(how-much it give).
i was like

and literally irritated. I said 70!!

He reconfirmed what i said and he was totally confused.. then i was like

Will be going this saturday

as busy with office work

I will resist if they try to repaint it

Someone plz help me out with the stock brake fluid rating and the alternator capacity.... How much watts power does the coil generate? Anyone? Should be written in manual too...

Yes i have experienced this

But according to what i have seen while other bikes this is same....
Just a thought of my own
Seniors can comment on it more i suppose

HAve already replied here - http://www.xbhp.com/talkies/867572-post5921.html
CAn't find anything on the alternator capacity. Battery says -12V - 8Ah VRLA
