CT100 - Tyre Pressure

I have just noticed this Tyre Pressure sticker on Chain Cover.

No more confusion now. If we have doubt on how much of pressure we need to maintain we can simply see this sticker on Chain Cover

Re: CT100 - Tyre Pressure

Remember the numbers. It is simpler. The service centres will end up washing it off after a few washes.

Re: CT100 - Tyre Pressure

That is true. Over time it will fade also.

Break Shoe Wear Indicator

We can easily identify how much our break shoes are worn out by looking at its Drum.

A usable range is marked on every drum break and a Indicator is attached to its respective Break Cam Lever.

If the indicator is at the bottom, the shoe is newer and the indicator is at the top, its worn out completely and time to change.

Below is the pictorial representation.

The similar marking & indicators are present in every other bike (hero, Yamaha, tvs, etc.)

Next time if the mechanic says 'changed the break shoes' you know where to check.

Project CT100 restoration complete with this addition. The Bajaj sticker on the clutch cover. It was not available at all. Finally got it made.
I will be making a post on a 'Do it yourself' soon, How to replace a Speedometer assembly on a Bajaj CT100 DX.

5000KM's Done

I have completed 5000KM's on my bike.



No major problems. Trouble free ride till now. Also a great average mileage of 85KMPL.


The chain adjusting nut was broken. I don't know how & when it happened. But when I gave for 2nd Service, I have replaced it.

Re: Bajaj CT100 2016

Hey, I bought the bike today. Ride quality and stability is good. I really regret because of the lack of fuel gauge. Any tips to read fuel?
And in the specifications over the internet it mentions there is a fuel gauge. But in the bike it isnt. Please help out

Re: Bajaj CT100 2016

Congrats Shreyas.
Please post some pics of your bike.
Fuel gauge was there for the older models. But when they reintroduced they removed it.
The better way to keep track of fuel is remembering.
I usually fill petrol for 400 rs between 450 to 500KMs interval.

Re: Bajaj CT100 2016

Thanks for the suggestion. I'll try doing the same. It's been a good experience with the bike so far. You can easily move through any type of traffic.

Re: Bajaj CT100 DX

Change both, but ensure original Bajaj spares are used and not OEM products. Quality issues. When you open the block and valves, just check if valves appear okay, if so take a call if you want to re-use it. It won't reduce your costs significantly. You will recover these costs from fuel savings and not paying a PUC related fine.

Re: Bajaj CT100 DX

For smaller bikes like CT100, ideally do not go in for a rebore. Won't save much for you in the long run. [MENTION=81550]Ravikumar Pittala[/MENTION] don't know if this helps you though...

Help needed - Bajaj CT 100

Hello,
I am a new user to this forum. I own Bajaj CT 100 for the last 12 years and it has only run 28k since I mainly used it to commute to office and also I was abroad for sometime so did not use my bike much. I returned to India 2 months ago and I was pretty disappointed to see my bike's performance. It just gives a mileage of 35 mpl and also the fuel gauge is not working. I am more worried about the mileage since I used to get a mileage around 70 mpl with the same bike before I went abroad. My mechanic did a mileage tuning couple of times but still the same 35 mpl. As far riding the bike, the one difference I noticed is the rev sound when I kick start the bike without giving any throttle and also the rev sound with bike moving for some distance while shifting the gears to stop. Even though the rev sound is stopped after my mechanic did something but the mileage continues to be an issue. its still the same 35k. My mechanic suggested to change the carburetor for mileage but I am not sure that will fix the mileage problem. There are other issues like fuel gauge not working and weak battery. Do I have an option of fixing these issues in a less budget? I do not want to continue spending much if it's really not worth it. Is this a time that I should consider buying a new bike instead of spending much on my current bike? Your answer will be much helpful. Thanks!

Re: Help needed - Bajaj CT 100

Bump! No suggestions? Really looking for some ideas if carburetor change can fix this issue..
