Re: Pulsar 150-Dtsi suspension problem

A few months back my right shocker seal gave away and I had to take to take it to SVC
After changing seals , filling it with new oil and fitting it back (Only right shocker was overhauled) they handed the bike to me.
I immediately felt a change in the front end as the bike was pulling towards left.

On complaining they made me wait for an hour before attending the bike.
But they couldn't align the forks properly and ever since then I was experiencing wrist and shoulder pains on long rides.

So last week when I overhauled the cone-set bearings
The level of shockers protruding at the top of cone set was different.(It was same to naked eye but the difference was about 8mm)
I carefully measured both the shockers made them at same level and then finally tightened everything.

As soon as I drove the bike after fixing it brought a smile to my face.
It was good as new, and has been a pleasure to drive ever since.

help needed to fix my problems with my Pulsar 150

hello guys,
first of all happy holi to all of you,
My name is Umang Patel from Gujarat currently living in Gandhinagar. i have joined very recently xbhp , i used to read owner reviews and problem-their solutions on this forum.
now lets start with my actual problem .
i owned bajaj pulsar 150 which i have bought from my friend .current reading on odometer is 71522, it is manufactured in dec-2009 and purchased in march 2010.i purchased it on 26-november-2015.initially there is lots of sound coming from engine which mechanic said that is of timing chain so timing chain has been changed in 4th week of dec-2015 after that ,the sound is normal and here following list of problems i am facing currently:

1)It gives me average nearly 30-35 km/l ,when i have done first service that time mechanic said that he tuned carburetor for better mileage but nothing improved. seriously 150 should give at least 40-45 km/l.

2)white smoke is continuously coming out from silencer and also engine sound is not smooth at all, yeah i have changed engine oil (10w-40 elf semi synthetic) on 28-nov-2015 and to my surprise in January ending i went for service and the mechanic told me that there is very less oil is there . i have only done 800 km approx. then i have changed oil (bajaj 10000 20w-50).and more smoke is coming out.first when i start bike and throttle it at 5000+ rpm then more smoke is coming out. after driving for 10-15 minutes amount of smoke is reduced but still coming out which is visible at night.

3)Display is not working properly ,last week there is sudden rain here and from that day the speed is displaying randomly for some time and after 1-2 minute it is becoming 0km/h.

4)Performance is also not that great compared to other pulsars which i have tested. i am afraid to ride it above 70 km/h as it sounds like engine will blown anytime.

please guys help me with these problems.i am seriously tensed for the first 2 problems. thanks in advance

Re: help needed to fix my problems with my Pulsar 150

Sounds like it's time for an engine rebuild.

Re: Bajaj Pulsar 150 All Versions

Help please!!

Re: help needed to fix my problems with my Pulsar 150

hello , can you please tell me exact solution and estimated cost for this and what exactly i should do , i mean re-boring or replace ??currently there is no smoke is coming out of silencer .

Re: Bajaj Pulsar 150 All Versions

One year ago i re build my pulsar 150 engine it costs 7000/- rs from a local micanik

Re: Bajaj Pulsar 150 All Versions

Is it necessary to rebuild full engine ??i think replacing piston kit will be enough and costs around 2000/- Rs right?? 7000 rs is too much for now.
what will happen if i only change piston kit and other necessary parts like piston ring,valve etc,.

{Fix found} solution to Rapid Oil depletion problem in Pulsar 150 DTSi.

Hi Bhpians,

After 65400 Kms and replacing Bore kit for three times in My pulsar 150DTSi, finally found the actual reason and the solution for the problem of rapid oil depletion in pulsar bikes.

Problem: Oil depletes rapidly, upto 250ml in 300Kms ride, No white smoke what so ever. every time I showed my bike to the service center/garage, I was asked to replace bore kit which I did and issue repeats , bore kit changed, clutch changed/adjusted multiple times but no help.

Reasons behind oil depletion:
possibility 1. worn piston rings/bore ( which was not my case as i was not getting any white smoke)

possibility 2. oil is Leaking from crank case ( again No leaks found)

As all the possibilities were ruled out and I started searching for other reasons for oil consumption and in my case found some oil in the filter box, i guessed oil is coming from

crank case to the filter box through the tube connected from crank case to filter box, and also found that there is a regulator type valve called PCV valve in cars which act as a

control for blowby gases and oil fumes coming from crank case to the intake manifold.


(picture courtesy google)

I searched for this FIXED ORIFICE PCV valve for fitting in My bike and to my bad luck I didn't get it anywhere.

So I have Improvised and made My own fixed orifice thingy and have fitted to the hose connecting the crank case and the filter box in the fashion as in below picture.

this valve/pipe is nothing but an Pipe with outside diameter of 10 and inside orifice/hole dia of 3mm. I have cut the black rubber pipe on my bike and fitted this valve in between.


(picture courtesy google)

I will attach the actual pictures by evening after I take the actual Photos.

after fitting this modd, have ridden 700Kms so far with same oil and it seems to be working like wonder, no drop in oil what so ever, My issue is solved, thought this modd

could help other bikers who are afraid to travel without top up engine oil like I used to.

Pulsar 150 engine overheating problem and top end speed issue.

Hi Friends,

Today i am here to discuss about some issue with my bike which is pulsar 150 and model is 2009.

I am currently facing totally 3 issue's with my bike..

1) My bike get heat very soon and it's terrific in traffic condition. Not able to keep my feet at the paddle. I do almost 30Km onside everyday and total my bike travel 60km per day...

2) My second problem is i am able to touch a max speed of 104 kmph.
Before servicing the bike i use to do 120 kmph easily now it's struggling to do 104 kmph.... Top speed was 135 kmph before.....and i always maintain time to time servicing.
But i am happy here as i am getting a decent mileage of 45 kmpl which is combine to both city and highway.

3) My third problem is --- When i start the engine i keep it idle for at least 1 min to work the engine oil. After idling if to few min when i apply clutch and when i change gear from neutral to 1st my engine gets off... i dunno about this whether it's normal case to every bike or only my bike does such....

Friends your suggestion is very important to me... please help............thanks in advance..... I hope i may get some good thing to know.....

Re: Pulsar 150 engine overheating problem and top end speed issue.


Approved and merged!

Get the following things checked in this order:
1. Tire pressure.
2. Air filter condition.
3. Spark plug condition.
4. AFR (Air Fuel Ratio)
5. Carburetor cleaning.
6. Clutch plates.
7. Sprockets.

Lastly, please do not type like this..... that.....

Thanks and welcome to xBhp.

Pulsar engine replacement

Hii all, I am new to this forum and I do not know much about bikes. I do read xbhp and that is how I know atleast something related to bikes.

First of all, I apologise if I am asking anything stupid regarding the bike engine replacement. I am asking you this after a friend of mine, who is a Service advisor of Tata Cars, said that engine replacement is possible in case of automobiles if we are ready to spend some extra costs. However, I am not sure if he is correct and that is why I am here to ask you the details.

I have a 2009 model Pulsar 150 bike, which is d first bike I got, and it has started showing few complaints. Past a year, it is consuming lots of engine oil; however, the smoke is normal and there is no difference in riding experience and even the mileage I am getting is above 50 within the Ahmedabad city. It is the technician who told that there is some issue with the piston and engine overhaul is required in order to rectify this complaint.

As of now, I have to topup engine oil every 400-500kms and I am afraid to travel far from the city considering the engine condition. The technician said that the whole work could be done within a cost of 6000 Rs. I forgot what all he mentioned that is to be replaced. All I remember is piston.

From what I have seen with my friends' experience, once a Pulsar engine is opened and repaired, it always give some or the other trouble( atleast like oil leak). Therefore, I would like to know if it possible for us to get an Engine replacement from factory with same ENGINE NUMBER.
If it is possible then how much would the cost be?

The reason I feel that my friend is wrong is because if it was possible then all would have done engine replacement on their cars and bikes and never bought a new machine.

I love my bike very much and would like to keep it forever. I have taken it for long trips in the past but I am unable to do so now as I am afraid if my bike will fail me in some remote place.

I am not confident if the engine overhaul will stop the problem completely and that is why I am requesting you to give me your valuable knowledge, suggestions and advices on Engine replacement or engine repair.

Once again I apologise if I am sounding stupid about Engine replacement.


Waiting for your replies. Thanks in advance.

Re: Bajaj Pulsar 150 All Versions

This is exactly the issue that I am also facing right now.

I am getting a decent mileage of 50 above though the engine oil is required to be topped up every 300km. No white smoke is coming.

Vinu, just to confirm, are u talking about air filter( you said filter box. I do not know much about it)? Could u pls explain this to me?

Re: Pulsar engine replacement


If it is time to get your engine rebuilt, go ahead and get it done without worrying. Ensure that all parts used are genuine. And find a mechanic who is capable. Look beyond the official SVC as well, since a lot of good mechs work in their own shops. Check with bikers in the city for a good mech.

An engine replacement would surely mean that the engine number would change and such update would have to be made in the RC. Going through the RTO and all. Not worth the headache at all. Not one bit!

Re: Bajaj Pulsar 150 All Versions


Hi vipin,

This fix depends on lot of factors, could you please be more elaborate like how many kilometers on ODO? exhaust smoke colour, and oil change interval.

because, bike with High reading on ODO do need engine rebuild eventually. (white/blue exhaust even while idling)

if your exhaust smoke is not white/blue and if it only smokes black on high revs then carb needs adjustment and fix the valve mentioned in my post,

this will fix your oil disappearing problem.
