    Today a wierd thing happened....

    After reading about talks of price hike on fuels in papers i decided to do full tank on my P135LS (my first full tank). My bike already had about 2.8 lts, i guess because it had not come in reserve (by the way it does come to reserve i have tested it) and had just come to 3 bars in the fuel indicator. I went to Shell - Brookefields, Blr and asked them to do full tank. To my surprise i was able to fill 9.68 lts. So my bike now has in all about 12.48 lts of petrol. Now how is this possible when bike has only 8 lts of capacity !
    I verified on my way to office there was no overflowing of tank.

    So either Shell, Brookefields is cheating by giving less of petrol for 1 ltr or Bajaj is wrong in measuring the bike tank capacity. Has anyone done full tank before and how much were you able to fill?? Please please please help.....
    I don't think that the tank capacity is wrongly stated by Bajaj. It may not be exact 8 L, but 12.48 L is a lot more. BTW, when my bike goes to reserve (i.e., 2.5 L petrol remaining), I fill Rs. 250 worth petrol, i.e., 5.2 L and I could see all the bars in the fuel indicator. I believe that I could fill some more petrol but not till 12.48 L.

      double07 seems to be true
      . Even when my dad got the vehicle filled tank full. Around 11.5 liters but i tought dad was fooled by the bunk attendant. But now it seems that its capacity is above 8 lit. By the way i am the new comes to pulsarmania.

        Ok, then next time I will check that by telling the bunk attendant to do tank full and see if the overall fuel in tank is indeed around 11.5 or 12 L. But, I don't understand, if the tank can hold more than 8 L, then how come my fuel indicator shows all the bars when there is approx. 7.7 L (including 2.5 L reserve) of petrol in tank.

          i have tried it on my Yamaha gladiator...the actual capacity of the fuel tank is when the filling nose is inside the fuel tank but generally the bunk attenders bring that nose out a bit to accommodate bit of extra fuel....

            The day i bought my bike, apart from the 1 litre tht bajaj put for me, i did a full tank. And the bike attendant filled in 12 litres! Even i was suprised as tank is 8+2.5ltrs!

            Also I'v clocked 300kms and my petrol tank has just gone down abt 3 inches(maybe 2 or 3 litres) and fuel indicator still shows all bars. Its impossible to get that mileage..im sure my odometer's not wrong

              its not that ODO is not working,,,its working properly but according to the 8lt. capacity...the 300kmz ride of your has just used the extra fuel that u have put in(12 lt.)...wait till the fuel reaches that 8 lt. mark n then check if the fuel indicator is giving proper response or not...

                Thats a relief to know that Shell is not cheating me. I had so much faith in them.
                OK, now if the tank capacity is about 12-12.5 lts why does bajaj claim it to be only 8 lts? Any ideas? I am going to shoot a mail to Bajaj in this regard.

                  will simplify it will an easy example...

                  when we purchase a cold-drink bottle its it completely filled up-till to the cap... its not...but does that mean company its cheating us by saying a liter bottle n not giving the same....

                  similar is the case for fuel tanks....company has to maintain some security standards...

                  in case of my bike company quotes 12lt where as i have fueled 13lt once....not tried that again...

                    The "Cheating" point was with respect to Shell station not Bajaj.

                    And even for Bajaj... why say 8 lts when bike holds 12 lts or more... I understand your bike taking in 13lts for 12 lts tank capacity but 12 lts for 8 lts capacity is just too much... And i dont understand the security part!! People do tank full at the time of fueling, not only bike, but any automobile... So, if doing tank full is a security thread automobiles companies should put that in bold letters that doing so can cause hazards.

                      Had my 1st servicing done today, and the bike seems to have slightly more vibration than prior to servicing. Also the SC guys have no clude about the BAJAJ 10000 DTSi Engine oil, they all are using Servo 20W40 in all the bikes.I opted for buying my oil myself . Wanteed motul but only MOBIL1 was avalaible in vicinity so settled for it.

                        DUDE!!! Mobil 1 !! I think thats a Car engine oil!!

                        Check the grade properly. It should be JASO MA(Bike engine oil) and not MB (Car engine oil)..

                        if it was MB, then i am afraid you will have to change the oil to JASO MA grade ASAP or risk clutch damage.
                        Advice is a form of nostalgia.
                        Dispensing it is a way of fishing the past from the disposal, wiping it off, painting over the ugly parts and recycling it for more than it's worth.

                          You are 100% correct antz.bin
                          Car Engine oil should not be put on bikes even if the grade is same. In my case also, at first servicing, was compelled to put Castrol GTX 20W50 (car engine oil) as there was no other option available in the vicinity, and the svc guy told me if engine oil is not changed then, my bike's warranty will be void. BTW, after pouring of that car engine oil in my bike, I also noticed vigorous vibes and unpleasant engine sound above 50 kmph. And immediately after that, I started searching throughout my city for MOTUL 3000 and finally got it on the 2nd day and got it poured in my bike. After that, there is negligible vibes that too after 6k rpm.

                            Hi guys, can some one suggest me which engine oil is the best for Pulsar 135? My bikes first service is next week.
                            @YoungBoy_220 - Hi, the engine oil you poured is 15W50 isnt it? In manual the grade recommended is 20W50. Is that okie?

                              For me, Motul engine oil is the best for my bike as after pouring it my bike is running very smooth and gear changing is a pleasure. I would suggest you to pour in Motul Mineral Engine oil. There are not many choices in 20W50 grade. If you feel like going with Castrol, then there is only one, i.e., Castrol Activ Xtra 20W50 Bike Engine oil available. Rest are Car Engine Oils.
                              Ya, the engine oil I poured in is 15W50. 15W50 is actually better than 20W50 which is mentioned in Manual. Actually, in xW50 grade, x can be 20 or less but 50 should not be more or less. You should check the Engine Oil Thread under Universal Threads to get better understanding of Engine Oil grades and which is better.
