Siton their head and ask them everytime to clean the airfilter although, if the riding conditions aren't evry dusty, you can prolong the cleaning interval. 400 is for the oil and it is kind of over priced for an OKish oil. Stick to mineral or Semi-syn oils. Full Synthetic tends to seep into the combustion chamber and burn with the fuel resulting in white/bluish smoke from the exhaust. It somehow eats away the oil seals so they might need early replacement. Try to get Motul 3100 or 5100 or Shell AX-5. If the manual suggests 20W50, then you can try 0/5/10/15/20W50. Make sure the value after 'W' is always 50. You can vary the numebr before 'W' to anything from 0 to 20. Shell oils are good per the reviews I haev heard and are less heavy on pocket too.
    Thanks, But xw50 oils are very difficult to get herexw40 are easily avaliable but it'd cause overheating IMO because even Motul 7100FS 20w50 causes overheating in my bike

      Re: Bajaj Pulsar 150 All Versions

      Thanks buddy. Have done the following:

      1) Engine oil changed about a month ago.
      2) Yet to be done.
      3) Self start works once in a blue moon after abt 20 km of riding. So will check that and also in one of the earlier post someone said something about changing the rectifier if the battety does not charge. So should I do that also?
      4) Needs to be done as the tyres have be ome quite hard.
      5, 6 and 7 will do it probably by end of week.
      8) These are absolutely fine.

      Will keep u posted about the developments.

        Also please suggest the best mineral oil. I have using castrol 4t. Is that good enough. Should I use the mineral oil for a specific period of time before shifting to a semi synthetic. Please suggest that oil name as well.

          See the mineral oil usually depends. After using shell, elf, castrol and motul I have found the motul the best. For 5000-7000kms usually said to be the period of using mineral oil before switching.

                Check the site of motul for compatibility.

                    Re: Bajaj Pulsar 150 All Versions

                    Just another query fellows: as mentioned earlier, am about to change my treads. Went to two different shops and one is selling dunlop for pulsar 150 2006 mag wheel and another one is selling Michelin siras. Former costs about 1550 and 1650 front and rear. Yhe Michelin costs 1400 and 2000 front and rear.
                    My query is, which one should I go for. They say MRF zapper is no longer available.

                    Any suggestions?

                      Michelin Pilot Sporty or MRF Zapper FS front and MRF Vyde or Pirelli SD or Michelin Pilot Sporty or Ceat Gripp/ Vertigo Sport back. Ceat vertigo Sport or Gripp is for off and on road, rest are are for city tarmacs. Pirelli SD : Awesome with grip both wet and dry I am damn satisfied. Currently I am with Vyde , feedback is very good but not tested in wet conditions. For front FS and Pilot Sporty both are equally good. I don't suggest Dunlop of TVS as I don't have a very good experience with them.

                        Thanks a lot Maadyy for the prompt response. I just found a dealer who sells both mrf zapper and ceat gripp. While my riding is mostly city tarmac, can I go for mrf front ad ceat grip rear. Or both ceat. Will it have any impact when I ride in city.

                          MRF is ok for city as well as off roading ( to some extent). Ceat Gripp / Vertigo Sport is good for city and off road also but doesn't inspire much on cornering. MRF Vyde having round profile and made up of semi soft compound does that better than Ceat Vertigo / Gripp. But Ceat Gripp or Vertigo lasts longer being of harder compound as compared to Vyde or SD or Pilot Sporty. So if you are in city only I will suggest you to go for MRF or Michelin or Pirelli, veritgo or Gripp will give you a little bumpy ride too. That's all I can suggest you after using all of the above mentioned.

                              It happens sometimes when water is over filled. Check the drainage pipe , so that it is placed properly. You can go for MF battery also to avoid this kind of problems. Happy to know about your bike. keep munching miles.

                                Fellows, got my treads changed. The front is MRF Zapper FS and the reat tyre is Ceat Zoom tubeless. Total cost 3500. Is this good enough. After all the advice from all, had to get this one done as the existing ones had started developing cracks.
                                However the problem persists. Every time I apply the rear brakes alone, it feels as the bike ia wobbling.

                                How do I get this sorted?

                                It used to happen earlier and I thought it was due to the 7+ year old treads.

                                Pls advise as today it rained in Mumbai ans had a near skid ans saved just by the nick.
