Oh did you ask them when they would get the hugger? The rear brakes are quite useless. Actual stopping is done by the front brake only all the time. The rear just helps in maintaining stability i guess. I use it that way.

I wanted to know how to tell the Bajaj showroom spare parts shop to give me all the required parts for installing a rearset? Would they know what all to give me or do i have to know all individual part names/number? I have seen pavanmachirde's rearset thread and saw part numbers but there was some bushing also for which he had not written down the part number. What about those kind of parts? I do not want to run around once the bike is stripped in case i do this mod and then a part is required during the process.

The mechanics over here are completely useless. They don't even believe that a rearset can be installed on a 150. They were talking some bakwas reasons. I'm thinking of going for this mod this weekend but i need to get the parts ready tomorrow itself in that case. Kind of skeptical if i should go for it or not. Already spent a lot till date on it.

I am not so much interested in this mod so dint ask further. Even i don't rely on the rear brakes but yesterday just escaped from a crash when i was doing 88 kmph at a clean stretch. Braked hard and the bike neither did stop nor did loose its track Actually my rear brake has worn out completely and i know the new pads are not much of help in braking. Had it been good i could have stopped the bike bit earlier. And the he TVS tyre Suc*s it keeps on skidding every single time.

Reg the rear sets, i too have been in the same state, the mech was not sure it will fit on P150. But i told him my friend has done it without any probs. So he stripped down everything and started to fit the rear sets and it dint fit directly, due to its length the edge had hit the shocks and the mech said it cannot be fitted. Finally he addressed me to a guy who does these kind of modifications. I pushed my bike all the way to his garage and he asked 650 rs. I had no other choice and got it done from it.

The reason why it hit the the shocks is i forget to buy new swing arm bolt and bush or say washer

All i would say is get all the parts i mentioned earlier before you leave bike in workshop, nothing more needed.

Also don't go for any welding works on exhaust. It will change the angle of exhaust and so the position of center stand. Now in my bike, center stand hits the speed braker when riding with heavy pillion. Get two simple metal clamps , one for holding the exhaust and other for saree guard.

Oh, where does this new swing arm bolt fit in the bike? Will i have to move the swing arm also? Can you show me a pic that shows how the swing arm bolt helps stopping the rearset from touching the shocks? (Only if its possible)

I was thinking of fixing the exhaust and center stand issues by welding. Is it bad for the exhaust? What if i paint the exhaust with a chrome paint if rust is the only issue. Will it help? The metal clamps sound easy but in your bike are they strong enough to hold a person's weight while they climb on the bike using the saree guard?

Will i have to change the long brake rod that actuates the brake near the wheel drum? Or will the stock brake rod be enough? Oh boy, so many questions. Hope i don't seem like a question bank here. lol

The red color is swing arm bolt and the yellow is the place where it was hitting the shocks. But it wont hit if you get parts of P180/200/220. Just ask the set( stay bolt , nut and bush) of p180. they will give you correct ones.
Yes thats the proper idea. Fix the stand issue by welding. Even i feel like the metal clamps wont last when the weight applied but you have no other option. I will remove saree guard after some days so thats not a prob for me Dont forget to paint the welded place on the exhaust otherwise it will get rusted soon.

No you dont want to change that rod. But remember , get only P180/200 s brake lever not P220. Because it is for disc brakes. I bought P220's brake lever for its looks but only when installing i came to know and did another welding for it

Thank you so much for the neat explanation Prabhakar.
I'll pm you my facebook id. It'll be much easier to talk realtime.

Anytime bro Added you on FB.

Where did all the P150 users go all of a sudden?
Are there no more P150's in India?

Thanks for your advice ab47 and prabakar really appreciate it..... I have touched 700kms now, but did not change the oil yet ...

The service center guys are not taking in my bike stating they already have too much bikes.. I have to go to their showroom tomorrow at 6am to get my bike serviced....

I wish I was a mechanic, so that i can service my bike by myself instead of replying on others.....

One big doubt guys... I work at a callcenter and work at odd timings, I find it hard to go early to bajaj service center to get my bike serviced, so can I use Castrol Bike Zone to service my bike... They also have pickup and drop service.... could you tell me your views about Castrol Bike Zone, is it good? hows the service there?

guys i am facing misfiring problem in my p150. is my A/F mixture correct? please help me guys

Hie Sudarshan,

I hope your bike is running fine. You did not post any of your immediate post purchase experiences.. We were wondering all the time if you had seen the answer to your question (the proper running-in tips) or not.

Anyway, I think it would've been really good if you changed your engine oil at least now. Just changing the engine oil does not even require a mechanic. You can do it at your home or if you're not comfortable go to a mechanic. Its hardly a 5 min job for them.

And regarding your Castrol Bike zone query, Yes! It's really good.
I give my bike at castrol all the time not only because its near to me but the work they do is near perfect. I never like the way Bajaj A.S.S treated our bikes.

Don't take my word for it, just randomly pick any guy you see giving his/her bike and ask him/her how they do the work. the pick-up drop thing i do not know. i guess my Castrol bike zone does not do that (Not sure). Check and then decide on it. Which days of the week are off for you? CBZ works on sundays also. they have wednesday off. (My Castrol Bike Zone)

Cheers and keep coming back for more posts/queries.. People here would certainly help you out as far as their knowledge goes.

I guess you need to first check by using another spark plug or better buy new spark plugs and test your bike.

If it does not solve then we might have to dig a little deeper. Probably any issue with the cable? Check and let us know.
Many other experts here might also help you.

If you don't do your service at Bajaj authorized service center then warranty will be void. Its your call now
