Re: Fuel indicator reading and fuel flow problem

You just ran out of petrol, switched to reserve and rode on. There is NO PROBLEM!

Most Pulsars hit reserve with two fuel bars still visible. But with Bajaj bikes i really don't bother what the fuel gauge shows, the tank has a reserve capacity, switch to it whenever your bike feels like it is running out of petrol. It feels like that because it is like that

Major problems, queries etc. get a new thread, but general everyday ownership stuff like what you have asked above gets merged into the ownership thread. A few threads unfortunately go 'dead' and sometimes queries remain unanswered or on 'too active' threads get lost in a blanket of other posts.

Fuel indicator reading and fuel flow problem

Hi, I have recently purchased a Bajaj Pulsar 150 DTSI and have just crossed 100 kms on the odometer yesterday when I went on a ride within Mumbai. I faced some issue which has prompted me to ask this question. I have tried searching and found nothing.

I was riding my motorcycle with 2 bars of fuel with the fuel tap on 'ON' position for a few days. But yesterday with the same position the engine started running irregularly and loosing power while on highway. After 3-4 repeat occurrences, I switched the fuel tap to 'Reserve' and the bike ran without problems. Now this should mean that the fuel was not enough to be supplied through the main line. But the fuel meter still showed 2 bars. Later I refueled with around 3 liters and then the bike ran properly in 'ON' position. This confuses me because I had read somewhere on this forum that the fuel indicator shows how much fuel is available through the main line. And that when the bars fall to 0, the main supply is almost empty and then the reserve can be used. This is contradicting with my experience. Can anyone shed some light on the fuel indicator / meter reading and how many bars will it show if the main fuel portion is empty but the reserve fuel portion is full?

There is also a possibility that there was something else wrong with the bike which I was not aware of and it got resolved somehow on its own.

Note to moderators : I think putting all the issues, problems in the 'Pulsar 150 All Versions' thread in 'Motorcycle Ownership Experiences' section is not the best way to organize threads and posts. The better way would be that each problem should have its own thread within a sub-forum of a particular motorcycle. That way all the knowledge on a particular topic can stay together and not spread across thousands of posts and it also gives more exposure to a problem resulting a better chance of it getting resolved. Still if the moderators wish they can move this thread.

Haha.. well.. I can send you video. Whatsapp?

Re: Bajaj Pulsar 150 All Versions

Can you provide a video recording, cause I'm still unable to determine the sound you're referring to.

And stop touching the engine, its not meant to be touched.

Re: Bajaj Pulsar 150 All Versions

So there seems to be a misconception here, let me clear that for you;

Lean - More air than fuel, bike runs hot, better FE.
Rich - More fuel than air, bike runs rough, shitty FE.

A better analysis would be run the bike till its bloody hot, then observe the tacho,
> If the bike fails to maintain idle, its rich.
> If the bike has an erratic idle, its lean.
> Blip throttle and observe the RPM if its drops fast, its rich.
> Blip throttle and if the RPM hovers, its lean.

I believe, I've mentioned most of the common variables.

And some more info, if its lean, the bike would run hot and wear down your stem oil seals, if its rich, your FE would be less, and if its too rich, the fuel interfere with the cylinder lubrication and mess up your liner.

Re: Bajaj Pulsar 150 All Versions

I will have it checked bro. But air leak from..? And also with the valves and tappets.. Could they cause overheating?

Re: Bajaj Pulsar 150 All Versions

yes clogged air filter can cause heating prob. as it makes the mixture rich....air leak can also cause heating prob. as it makes the mixture lean....so check these ...

Re: Bajaj Pulsar 150 All Versions

Well.. I get around 50kmpl. AFR cant be lean for 50 i believe. Could a clogged air filter cause over heating? And.. The wheels are freely rotating. Chain doesn't seems to be overtightened. Brakes are fine.
