1- Get the battery changed first.
2-Check for any cables touching anywhere, check the coneset and all bearings.
3- Yes 300 is normal.
4- Around 2700.
5- It is totally your decision

If I were you, I would get down to first checking the engine and all the bearings, bushes and foundation bolts and rubber mountings, if possible, separate the whole engine from the frame, check for any rusts and then refix them or repaint/rework as needed and fit things again with new rubber mounts and use a torque wrench for the work too.

Next, if the engine is good, check the carburettor and change anything that's needed after a thorough cleaning, replace diaphragm etc.

Next check all fuel lines if working fine.

Next up, rework, clean and replace those lights as needed.

Then do a full servicing, new air filter, pour in fresh engine oil, new spark plugs or clean the older ones.

At last take the wheels out, rebalance them or true them thoroughly and refit them, replace front suspension oil and retune springs if needed, new coneset and new rear swingarm bushes follow suit.

The cost to do all this will come to be around 6000 if there is no problem with the engine. Even if the engine has issues, new bore and piston kit costs 2500, so around 10k of expenditure will make it a whole new bike. And oh that reminds me, get compression checked too.

So for around 10k the bike is new, what next ? New paint and stickers follow suit.

This all will make the old baby run new again. But I would recommend doing it yourself or if unsure, get it done from a good mechanic, use all quality and original parts.

That's all.
Cheers !

A.P.

So these are the mods that I have done if anyone wishes to do the same.

I used it for 3 years without any issues. But once the battery gets weak then drain issue starts. So you have to be careful while using the HID. when starting the bike strictly switch off the light so less load on battery. When bike is shut dont use the light for too long. Sometimes here and there is OK but you have to be alert when using lights on DC which are not originally on DC current.

Thanks rakowli!
I do have a 35 w HID lying simply, so can i go ahead and fix the HID after changing the stator coil. will the battery drain soon?

For this you need to source the Avenger 180 Stator coil which is of same size as P150 coil. It is direct plug and play no need to modify anything. As avenger 180 had 55/60W headlight as original bulb, so you can either go directly for 55/60 bulb on AC current or else 35W HID setup on DC current from battery. As charging power is more so 35W HID will work properly.

Hi Forum members,
i have a pulsar 150 2007 Model(UG2 i hope). The headlight is one of the biggest drawbacks in the bike. I have tried several options and nothing worked out.
1. Updating to 55/60 Night breaker.(without making any changes to wiring/electricals).
No Changes since the bulb wattage is high.
2. Changing to 35w HID setup.(by making the wiring for lights direct from battery).
Battery draining issues.within 20 to 30 km.
3. Changing to 35 W LED bulbs.
This worked a little but not much satisfied.

I have read somewhere that changing to stator coil from avenger 180 will workout with upgrading to 55/60 headlights.

Please throw some lights on this MOD as i'm a noobie in this part. If anyone can post the link of the MOD it would be really great.


Thanks in advance.

instead of modding the stock wiring , place some auxillary lights led on leg guards , cost just ₹1500 for 2

haha sorry! my bad! Its just that i saw a dtsi logo on similar looking bikes and became alarmed not having a similar logo!

I agree, But i dont have any option, The mechanic did get the bike in a running condition and says he has 20+ years experience. Going to service center is very expensive.

He says that he will get the standard pulsar tyre - which is a tubeless tyre according to him.

Bike is running ok now, But should i take it to any official bajaj service center for a proper service or is local mechanic enough?

When i gave bike to him it was in really bad state- he fixed all of it although it did cost me a bit.

that is the most ridiculous question i have heard in a long time

its better not to use tubeless tires in rims not designed for them , as for the front tyre , check with a few local tyre shops you will get good ones for much less than 2k (1.6-1.8k inc tube and fitting)

ps: it seems to me that your mech is taking advantage of your ignorance

Also can any experienced folk please tell me whether this engine is pulsar engine or not? Because Dtsi logo is missing on the engine? What is going on??? Im really scared guys...

- To check reasonable pricing I use the OBV website or app.
- Change oil at regular intervals, regular servicing.
- Depends from person to person.
- Next answer in detail.

So I have been using Bajaj Pulsar 150 for over 8 years now and completed more than a lakh kms on this same machine. Engine overhauled once, changed block and piston kit, that cost me just 4k for everything from Bajaj itself.

I have tried a lot of oils and run Motul 5100 changing every 4000-5000kms. Yes that's a lot, but that's how I run. Regular servicing is done by myself or my trustworthy mech.

The bike runs like a gem to me considering my daily commute is from an altitude of 404m to 2000m+.
Yes, being old, there is a lot of power loss, but other than that, no issues, still does a 107kmph on GPS considering offroad tyres on the rear, it is respectable for me.

About doing long trips, I have done a maximum of 950kms in a day on same machine and this is a lot in the hilly winding twisties and a lot of climbs, steep ones, with a pillion and luggage. I am a happy man, since I park the machine on the highway or at open places when I am on my rides, I don't worry about it getting stolen anymore, honestly.

Fuel efficiency I get is 42kmpl on pushing it hard, yes it's a puny motor that I love to redline. On being gentle I have even seen close to 50kmpl mark even on an engine this old.

I still love this baby and there is a lot of time until I let this baby go. Currently just doing 4-5k kms a month.

The best thing according to me about owning this machine has been absolutely hassle free service and spares availability, dirt cheap spare pricing and maintenance, rock solid reliability (yet to let me down), riding far without the worry of the actual machine.

Thanks for reading.
