Hi..I own a pulsar 180 UG 4! I bought it in aug 10....from the begining I am having problem with my steering...while driving between speed 55kmph to 65kmph steering wobbles...It has tubeless tires...i have refitted the front tire two times as suggested by mechanic at service centre...but still it is having the same issue..anybody hav any idea abt such problem...should i go for wheel balancing...is it preferable? wheel balancing in alloy wheels? plz help me out...

Query approved.

was this problem right from the time you purchased it or surfaced later......???

almost all pulsars have some amount of wobbling problem at the speeds mentioned by you..............

i had the same bike but i didn't felt the wobbling problm. better check the front cone set as one guy had the same problem and during the service they changed some bearings.

I am having the problem right from the beginning...initially the guys at the workshop said this kind of wobbling is very usual in pulsars with clip on handle bars...how much it costs cheking cone set and changing bearings..i jst need a general idea..do anybody know about wheel balancing in alloy wheels..i hav seen sum bikes with that additional small weight on alloy wheel...

if the bike is under warranty then no need of any money or else it may charge a bit. Don't know the exact amount but strange that I didn't feel anything. Anyways visit the SVC and tell the problem. See what they suggest you

i live in mumbai. yesterday i visited one SVC in malad(E). he drove my bike near his workshop not even above 40kmph. he said you must have fallen while riding your bike...company doesnt provide warranty on such issues...i have never fallen down while ringing on my pulsar..the problem exists right from the begining..can you suggest me any good workshops in mumbai...

sorry bro. I'm from Kolkata. just shoot a mail to the bajaj customer care and try to speak to higher authority

[vrnmhjn]

thanxs for ur response...anyway can you tell me what precautions should be taken before going on long tour...say 300km a day on pulsar...is the bike ergonomically suitable for such a long journey...give me any tips over this..

you can take pulsar for long tours no prob at all , in fact i took my p150 ug3 for 1500kms + tours . All you need to do is maintain a comfortable cruising speed such that you don't stress engine much. Maintain speeds of 80-90 and keep an eye on engine oil level, pulsars are known to drink oil at constant high speeds[ as per my experience]. Regarding your prob as suggested email to customer care or higher authorities .

thank you for your valuable tips....i do hav one more query...how much we could extend non stop journey say in summer condition with the speed ranges mentioned by you...?

[vrnmhjn]

one more thing...2 days before i washed my bike from SVC...no servicing i took my bike their just for washing..the guy washed my bike infront of me as usual...but since i returned home i m feeling that my bike's engine sound is changed little...it more like a little humming sound...and today when i was leaving office i put key in ignition and turned it on nothing happnd i was shocked for a moment..i again tured off and on this time there was a display in speedo the rpm meter worked usually but no backlight..wen i repeated third time it was normal..it was a very strange experience....should we take any extra care while washing bike?

non-stop riding mostly depends on your riding style buddy, on common note better to take 5 mins break every 60-90 mins .

Hi guys! Yesterday I went to SVC in borivali,mumbai..I discussed my issue with works manager..he appointed a good mechanic for me...he inspected my bike and said your bike's fork is offset..u need to change cone sets..it will cost 750rs...do any one know the cost estimated by them is right or exaggerated?

750rs for cone set is too much. It costs some 315rs.
I paid 450 rs for cone set replacement and fork bent removal, including labor charge.

Your bike is new so they must do it free of cost except the spare parts cost.

Yeah digital meter often behaves like that. We are gifted with that
