At my first servicing (last Sunday), the svc mechanic firstly was going to change the engine oil to ELF Moto 4 Gold 20W40 but when I pointed out that 20W50 is required in my bike, he put Castrol GTX 20W50 after draining the factory oil. But, after coming home, I checked the castrol website and came to know that GTX series is for Petrol Cars. From the engine oil thread I got to know that car engine oil is not recommended for bikes and leads to slipping of our wet clutch. I was then cursing the mechanic in my mind for putting car engine oil in my bike.
But, today I found a shop having Motul engine oil and got one bottle of Motul 3000 4T Plus 15W50 Mineral Oil and poured it in my bike. It costed Rs 210/- and also I got one Rs. 20/- cash back coupon inside it. So, actually it costed Rs. 190/- to me. After pouring this oil, I could feel the engine to be very smooth at higher rpms. Earlier, above 60 kmph, there used to be vigorous vibrations in the foot pegs and the engine also seem to be un-smooth. But now, i am happy riding at 60-70 kmph with slight vibrations at foot pegs and smooth engine and soothing engine sound. Overall, I am very happy with this engine oil. I am planning to change to Motul 5100T 15W50 semi-synthetic engine oil as soon as my bike completes 2500 kms.

Hey Bikers,

I am pretty new to this motorcylce blogging and I need help real fast . I fell in love with 135LS indonesian version and now its in India; so I went and paid an advance of 1000 bucks to book it. But I saw the musculine P180 in the showroom and from that moment, I am online going through reviews about both the bikes and seriously I cant decide. I dont have an issue with mileage and the extra cost of 180. But I test drove both the bikes and I felt 180 has a god damn grip on the road, 135ls is not bad but is so light like my old yamaha. I am confused, which one to choose.
What I LIKED:
P180:
Tubeless tyres, Real split hand grips, overall rugged feel of the bike
P135:
Sporty look, 122K feather weight, Mileage, Unique from the so common p150/180.
My priorities:
1. Handling should be easy ( when you are in a theatre and try to park 180 is tough ?)
2. Cut through the city traffic ( like how I do in my RX)
3. Good suspension. (sold my rx just because of this reason)

Dealer is waiting on my word; P180 or P135 ?

This is now known as Pulsar 135LS UG.

1. Split & sharp rear tyre hugger.
2. All black engine theme.
3. Half-Open chain cover
4. O-ring chain

^^
alas!
No addition on that front

My vote P180.

Why?

Because i own it. I have crossed 2000 kms with this bike and the bike feels great !

P180 (except for yahama fz and fazer family) has the best road grip. The bike feels big ! I am 6 feet and 80 kgs and initially opted for dazzler. Took a test drive. The bike was damn smooth. But my GF said the bike looked very small for me( No dazzler owner can deny this !). But i took a second chance .. I took my friends to honda showroom @ adayar. They also said the same. After googling a lot i settled for P150. When i went to showroom @ chromepet, i glanced P180 and tried it and it was the first time i felt like i was riding a real BIKE ! Apart from false neutrals, the bike was great ! I fell for its grunt sound . I checked mileage in reserve to reserve basis, 3 times and it was 49,50,49. So please dont listen to any anti-pulsar guyz. If yo maintain P180 well, you will have a lot of fun !

If yo want smooth engine go for dazzler. If you want a beast go for Pulsar 180. Please dont opt for 135LS.. i got an opportunity to drive my friend's p135 and the bike was so light! And its build quality was not as good as p180. So if you are opting for pulsar get none other than P180 UG4 ( tried and tested)

Yes!! I was preferring the blue one.

BTW the only thing I dislike is the Pulsar sticker. Every other Pulsar now got that shiny chiseled 3D sticker except our P135LS. Anyone have any idea how to obtain/fix such a sticker in our P135LS?

I forget to mention today I was experiencing a little vibe on my both footpegs & in right clip on while in 44-45kmph in the highway, was running between 3-4k rpms.

I mostly ride solo. Yes I was also surprised to see the vibes. I will check with SVC guys whether this is a issue with the oil or engine. Currently I am in running in and clocked around 250km. Brought the bike on last Saturday.

Can you tell the where I can find the pulsar sticker in Kolkata?

1stly congrats 4 ur new p135ls

2ndly u dint mention whch gear were u in ?...at wot rpm ?

abt d sticker...i cant tell u abt kolkata coz im in mumbai...but u can ck wid d bajaj spares else a chor bazaar if kolkata has got ny like mumbai

Of course it has. Every city in India has one I will look for it.

I was in 5th gear, 3-4k RPM, 44-45 kmph.

the "pulsar" 3d sticker is easily available...but not the "135LS" one...u'l have to get it customised frm someone...

n abt d vibes...i guess ur talkin abt the rider's footpegs...whch is quite unusual at such low cruising speed on d highway..

but every pillion who has rode behind me complains abt the vibrations in d footpegs(pillion's ofcoz)...but that is only in d 60-75kmph range...be it at ny rpm...
