I suggest you to look at other options too. Sz, fz, unicorn etc. They are way more smoother and handling wise much better. For your daily run, which is quite low, mileage shouldn't be an issue. If you had set your mind for pulsar then atleast go for P180, it has more power with big bike feel. The problem with P150 is you will get bored of it soon, feel underpowered. Atleast I did!

Thanx for the reply guys

Sorry that I forgot to tell you mileage is the main thingy apart from highway riding.
Mileage should be around 50kmpl

@prabhakar150
I've tried unicorn and felt ...very ..very heavy even though its 5,6 kgs heavier than p150

Stiked off fz because of mileage ,and apache because of lack of comfort

How much will p180 give ?? It seems bit heavy too

I'm 19 ,5'8" tall and weigh 55kgs

So please suggest accordingly
Thank you

First I thought of taking sz-r as the price is pretty low for 150cc bike with yamaha quality
but after reading ownership reviews I came to know sz-r is also having probs intially and also in the long run

probs like slippery tyres,lack of digi console ,bad mileage ( compared to other 150cc),head light

Though I 'm yet to take a test drive ,all those factors making me to back off

About p180 do you think I need 180 cc suits me?.I'm not power hungry bike .I'm a sane rider except on some highway points

Whats the mileage diff. between p180 and p150??

Which one gives best mileage between new p150 vs unicorn vs gs150r ??

Which one has the moooooooost pillion comfort ,for my elder brother and my mother ???


sry I asked many question ,but please reply to them

Thanks both of you ,prabhakar and akash for the valuable info

I think I'll settle down with p150

@akash
How much does it cost for changing of seats .?we usually go 200+kms trips once in a month .I've driven p150 ug3 last time and had no problems in the long run
I see you're from Hyd.I'm from guntur dist. Ap.Can I get your fb profile .So that I can ask some questions abt run-in maintenance ,please

This is Abhishek from Bangalore owning a Pulsar 150 (2009 model). I am a new member to this community and this is my first post thereafter.

By the end of this month (August 2012), I am planning for a bike trip from Bangalore to Ooty with my friends. I do not have much running within the city and prefer frequent longer drives during weekends. Somebody please suggest me which brand of 20W-50 Fully Synthetic/20W-50 Semi Synthetic Engine Oil would be best for my bike, preferably with longer draining intervals. Also please recommend if I should use any top-up in addition to the engine oil.

I will be shortly posting a detailed description of the trip on return.

hi guys,

i currently own pulsar 150 2005 model ..mileage is 47800km.
having some problem due to small accident. to avoid a pothole. the bike had a fall and some scratches on bike and on myself.

the rear is giving a thud sound when i move on a pothole or a speed breaker only when i ride with a pillion. also the grip on tires is not good. should i change the tires.

kindly reply.

change the rear shock-absorbers, your existing ones are not able to take the load with two persons sitting on it and hitting rock bottom point.

since yours is an old model, i guess it does not have nitrox shock absorbers, in that case, it might be possible to recondition them, just enquire. otherwise purchase a new one.

After much cry at home my dad booked pulsar 150 black after cancelling CT 100 in 2005. Cant express in words those days when i got my first love. In the year 2008 bike turned it turned 60 (60000 kms). Decided to repaint and turn to fear the black edition.
Now it has turned 80 (80000 kms). I have serviced this bike from Trivandrum pro biking to Ernakulam popular bajaj (400 kms range). Most of the time it was dissatisfaction that i got. As usual most of the bajaj bikes need utmost care to perform in peek condition always. same with this pulsar too. Till date managing/maintaing this bike has been the biggest task. But whatever, below the 70k price mark no 150 cc bike in market can deliver the punch and rush while riding as this one. I vow.
At 80000 kms i felt that screwing myself so much to maintain this bike was of less worth. Random thoughts like exchange,selling to a good bike loving customer,etc went through my head. Almost locked on Thunderbird 350 cc / ktm duke. Dad too uses the bike, hence Thunderbird was final one,just to give him a relaxed ride.
Well I have spent so many days of my life for this bike. At max I can get 35k as the cylinder has done 80000 kms. To revive the engine I may need not more than Rs.2500 as I carry out most works time to time. Gave it for service to an unknown ASS. just stressed, I care a lot and hence work too should be best. The bill was Rs.4500 (Rs.1000 for iridium plugs,Rs.1000 Labour charge, Rs.2000 parts.....) Got it back yesterday. the new cylinder and the feel of engine is amazing. something that i had 7 years back. Guys the smile on my face, can you see it??
I have posted pics of the bike. I'm using Michelin sports in rear (30psi) and zapper FS in front (25 psi). Irridium plugs. need help here. do iridium plugs require servicing like normal ones or else? Stock air filter. planning for K&N for a long time.tight on money. The bike is smooth and im keeping the revs under 3500 rpm. Thinking of breaking in fast.
