    The first service due is at 500 Kms /one month whichever comes first. Ride gradually at RPM's 3-4K .
    * Don't stress the engine by going on very lower/higher revs.

    *Try using kick start in mornings.

    ** Regarding mileage :
    you can check it after your first service , however you can expect around 40-50 .

    As you've mentioned that the traffic is not high , you should be getting 40+ KMPL .

    NOWADAYS I'M GETTING VERY GOOD MILEAGE FIGURES . FILLED 200 Rs. Petrol yesterday and rode 120+ Kms for 2.5 L ~

    Take care,
    Cheers.
    Corrections

    Maintain RPM of 4-6k

    No need to use kick starter in the morning. In fact, no need to use it unless the battery goes full flat.

      It's ok Anyhow , during my run-in I rode @6-7 K RPM's [emoji6]


      But prolonged non-usage of kicker isn't a good deal.

          I have been using rubbing compound to remove scratches from my 160 4v. However many people have advised me against using it saying that it damages the paint on the bike. Is this true ? Anybody please advice me on this.

            Hi guys. I have owned a Pulsar 150 for 9 years now and have clocked around 95000 kilometres in it. It is giving me problems very often these days. So I am looking to upgrade.

            I am looking to stay in 150-160cc segment as I cover around 60kms everyday and need the bike to give decent mileage. (I know it depends on many factors but I need to have a general idea)

            I am considering Apache RTR 160 4v fi version and Bajaj Pulsar NS 160.

            I have gone through many pages of this thread and have found people say that the mileage is generally around 35-40 ( when ridden at speeds over economy). But most of it are for carburettor version. Could anyone who owns Fi please let me know the mileage they are getting.

              I could say, you can expect 40 -45 KMPL for sure in Apache 160 4v whatever the traffic Situation be.

                Came across fuel knob part in the manual and I have one doubt.
                Am i supposed to turn the knob in off position every time I turn the ignition off?
                Also when I should turn it into reserve?

                  Thanks for replying. Thats great.

                  But what would be the difference in mileage between Fi and Carb versions?

                    Just a couple of Kms only ... Only the maintenance and the difference in par carb/FI is the fuel flow to engine.

                    BTW FI is costlier than carb model and costlier to maintain !!

                      Is it. I am aware of the difference in technology. But I thought it would translate to much more fuel efficiency.

                      Carb version is a better option then.

                      Thanks.

                            Also, Engine heats up when I ride. Hot enough that I cannot touch it for so long. Is that normal?
                            This is my first bike and I'm new to engine temperature. What are normal engine temperatures while riding?

                              Yes , As the (IC) internal combustion takes place the engine should be pretty heat . Moreover the new engines are prompt to more heat than the older ones as they are subjected to wear and tear of engine components.

                              Its normal and not to be worried. BTW How much Kms on your ODO ?

                                35-40kmpl is what you get on 200 4v. On the 160 4v, you can expect 40-45 or even 45-50kmpl.

                                You can go for FI. Only condition is that you must always have at least 1 bar of fuel or the fuel pump will go caput.

                                You can always keep it in reserve (like I do) but some argue that it is not a good habit. So, you can just turn off the fuel knob when parking the bike. Just keep an eye on the fuel gauge if you are always running with the knob in reserve.

                                What else do you expect from an engine?? And why do you want to touch it?? For this engine, it is perfectly normal as long as you don't feel unbearable heat on your legs while riding.
