    Most motorcycle problems are caused by the nut that connects the handlebars to the saddle.

    • @all : svc guys putting 20W40 instead 20W50....its happenning everywhere ! so make sure you ask them to put 20W50 (bajaj dtsi 1000) instead of any (valvoline etc.) 20W40 oil...

And still I see people admiring the looks of P135,but never heard of people admiring its clone XCD135...this suggest how Bajaj auto has achieved its target by just giving the tag name of 'Pulsar' and thats it...people start buzzing around it!! Funny! NOM.
      that was originally even called the XCD Sprint...it was just a concept on which they worked on and developed the P135LS...yes cosmetically this one has borrowed some parts from the XCD but definitely not the engine...so it cannot be called a 'clone' in particular...and whatever has been developed is indeed a better product than the XCD...

      false shift or hard gear shifting isnt a big problem with this bike...so stop worrying....i would suggest to stick to the bajaj recommended oil for the time being...
      A very good and safe biker not only because he can pop up either of the wheels,scrape his knees on a corner or go fast and make it look stylish but because he very well knows his limits and capabilities and has the patience to learn about others and ride safe ! :)

      • Hi xbhp mates

        i bought this bike last week. i have some issues with this bike.
        1. When i start the bike idle RPM goes almost 4000(i guess, auto choke) then comes to around 1200. but after 1km drive, idle speed becomes 2500. can any one tell why?. any problem with the bike or its my driving style wrong?

        2. when i need to reduce the two gears at a time, the gear is not getting engaged. when again i depress the clutch and reduce the gear, gear changes with the 'DUM' sound.

        when asked abt this to my friend having p135, he said he also had this problem and got cured after 1 st service. can anyone confirm this?

          1. no problem with your driving style mate....yes thats auto-choke...when idle speed becomes 2500rpm reduce it down to 1-1.5k...and tell this to the svc guys...they may tell you the reasons(hopefully) and they will adjust the air-fuel mixture settings..

          2.this bike has had issues about shifting gears but they will lessen with time and usage....nothing much can be done about it..

            only headlight is different....
            Do you think googling is the way to rate a bike??? People in this thread know what their bike is.BTW I saw a similar comment somwhere in xbhp. I guess it was also by you.

            The problems in gearshifting and finding the neutral will sort out after 1 or 2k kms. Don't worry.....

              'only headlight is different'-Dude,You couldn't get me!...What i meant is that the styling looks the same,the P135 n XCD DTS-SI. N its true,even P135 owners have agreed which is why the P135 was originally even called the XCD Sprint! Engine n other movable parts might differ...N bro,unless one is an Automobile Engineer,its tough to rate a bike without help from experts which is easily accessible via Google! Its pretty easy to say that people know what their bike n all,but talking of the broader picture, one has to know the pros n cons of his/her bike to rate it! N ya,i actually prefer being realistic and I talk based on facts,possible gained thru Google(as I m not 'GOD' to know everything),thats why ul find such posts from me in future also...

                No That similar comment was from me! When i asked for opinion about P 135 from my friends, i was shocked to hear this comment from them. I immediately posted it here and was waiting to see people prove it wrong.

                Anyways I am now a proud owner of Pulsar 135.
                Am I a Gay?
                B'Coz nowadays I love riding this young male [pulsar135].

                            Thanks NiN... Am getting used to my p135.
                            - I love the power this guys delivers. He overtakes His own siblings on highways. I love doing it.
                            - He is really handsome and Red on him makes him look sexy. On him I feel like I own a costly bike.
                            - Handling is like knife on butter. Superb.
                            - He sounds more manly with that Engine grunt.

                            but not happy with few things like
                            - Not able to get the neutral at all. irritating. On B2B traffic, I struggle to get the neutral, and if I get it the traffic moves on. so no way I can get my hands off the clutch.
                            - Second gear slips down to Neutral while moving. happens very frequently. Very Scary. I hate it actually. Don't know how to get rid of this.
                            - Pain in the palms. Very painful sometimes in B2B traffic particularly on left hand. Dunno if I use the clutch often or is it because it is tight and new. Thinking about getting a pair of riding gloves, may help.

                            • so the tachometer is fixed.But the svc people have now screwed the handling...there's a squeaking sound on turning the handle either ways (its tighter) and the accelerator cable is also rubbing against the speedo assembly... Man instead of just riding the bike n enjoying i am worried about this stuff..lol

                                yes get yourself a pair of gloves...the problem is not the clutch..its the traffic

                                and you will get used to the shifting of gears...

                                your signature is funny man !
