I must say that I don't service my bike at a constant interval. It varies, sometime I go for it after 2500 Km (approx.) and at times the interval has gone upto 4.5K-5K Km

For Pulsar 150, the service interval is 2500 KMS, right ?"The trouble with the rat race is that even if you win, you're still a rat" - Lily TomlinComment

hey guys this is my first post in Xbhp post the server crashOriginally posted by mithun View Post

@mithun
any mineral oil holds good for the pulsar at the max for 2k kms..
after that u might feel the engine to be rough and ur pickup n mileage ll take a toll..
i change my engine oil at 1-1.5k max even if i use semi synths
moreover pulsars need their valve tappets adjusted for atleast every 5k kms, else u might lose out on performance!
cheers
When everything comes ur way, u r in the wrong way ;)

Yes, valve clearance and tappets were not adjusted for the past 15000kms on my bike!! I mentioned it specifically during the last service and they did it. Now the throttle response is better.Originally posted by insanebiker View Post

One problem with my bike. After the previous service, I noticed oil leak from engine oil drain nut. Tried to tighten it, but found out that the thread was damaged. So i got it re-threaded. But the leak still persists, although only a little. What to do?? Will using a 'thicker washer' help??Comment

i think it s better u get a new drain bolt from the spares section, mate!Originally posted by hyper View Post
y did u go for rethreading in the first place?
btw where do u service ur bike?
AMBA bajaj is upto no good, cheapsters they are..

Re-threading was needed because the threads on the 'oil pan side' was damaged and caused oil leaks. The 'bolt' was fine.Originally posted by insanebiker View Posti think it s better u get a new drain bolt from the spares section, mate!

I serviced my bike at Castrol Bike World, Mysore road, for the previous two times. The service advisor over there said that thread damage can occur in aluminium engine cases. Is it true??Comment

^^^Very likely they cross threaded it or overtightened it! You have to be very careful about the torque when tightening anything... esp. when its alluminium!!
You should hold them squarely responsible for such damages! They have to replace what they damage.Comment

ya 2K is very gd service interval period for 150cc. after that both performance & efficiency reduces.I do service at abt 2.5kms to the max."BiKiNg in INDIA is like JOGGING in IRAQ ,something may HIT YOU"

Yeah you are right!!Originally posted by Raccoon View Post
Anyway, I got it fixed today. He used a thicker washer and some kind of paste before screwing it back. No leaks now.Comment

Thanks for the advice !Originally posted by insanebiker
But, how can I find out they whether they have adjusted valve tappets ? I don't trust the mechanics, that's why."The trouble with the rat race is that even if you win, you're still a rat" - Lily TomlinComment

Not a good idea. Everything should be the way its supposed to be (like when it came from the factory). Make shift solutions are never a good idea.Originally posted by hyper View Post
Your problem will likely reoccur after sometime...
Btw, what kind of paste?Comment
-
Its a Sealant. After applying, it gets hard and stays that way. No, it is not M-seal. It is like a sealant used with aluminium fittings.Originally posted by Raccoon View Post
Well, I'll wait and see. Will report if any problems occur. Anyway, what is the best solution??Comment
-
Sealant is not a good idea. Will it even take the heat?? Chances are very good that it wont, and your leak will reoccur.
Best option is always to replace that part, like I said. You should have insisted on that the 1st time you saw it!Comment
