Picasa Web Albums - P.S. Raghavan - KB100

Thanks a lot psr sir

KB 125 was one of the bikes that was well known for its handling.A friend of mine owned one and it used to be an awesome bike with very few niggling issues and a good average.He used to rip the bike upto 110 Kmph with ease.Dont know if he still has it.I recollect me and my bro deciding on which bike to buy between a RX/Shogun/KB125 way back in 1999, yeah, I guess by that time KB 125 Prolwer was launched.Finally settled down for a shogun (no regrets :-))

you made a good choice way back those days it was a big fight between RXG/SHOGUN/KB125 i landed up buying a new 97RXG and my friend bought the KB125 was indeed a good bike but after a year the co launched the KB with new graphics which another friend bought looking at the bike which was already there in our group but,this bike was a total failure quality wise the bike did not survive for long and after two yrs he sold it at dirt price and got rid of it was always running with some or he other problem to the mechanic or the co service center

Wow - Thank you so much for the manual. I had seen one in flesh about a decade back and tried a lot to take it but the mechanic didn't oblige. I feel happy now, I atleast have an e-copy of it. I just downloaded all the images. Hats off to your patience and thanks for sharing. TY once again

Glad it is of use to many people

actually you should thank psr sir he is the one who took pains to scan and upload it twice, hats off to him

ps updated the substitute parts list (post no 105)

Colt was without battery, and integrated rear indicators like scooter (Chetak)
KB 125 (5 Speed Gear Box) is a different Model
Prowler is totally different Model

Rotary valve is not suppose to be replaced during every service. It has a very good life and no adjustment is required.

Few Prowler Pics for your reference.

Highlights of Prowler RR 125. Thanks to Bajaj.

No Cost Cutting or Compromise Bike.

1. Munjal Showa Rear Suspension. On earlier KB 100 they were providing Munjal but later they started Gabriel Suspension.
2. Brembo Brake system. Absolutely fantastic brake system, Indian manufacturers like KBX and Pricol need to learn from them. No brake locking, no skidding, more than 100% Safe and Sure. Not used for few years but still you can operate it with single finger. Wheel is very very free/smooth like a Drum Brake System, No Rubbing of Disk and Pads at all. Till today over a decade no issues with the brake system.
Catalytic Converter : To minimize Exhaust Gas Emission. To check this claim once went to PUC ctr. With my friend with his 4S Champion. Figures were so shocking, It was just over 4S values. Surprisingly following HH Splender was way higher than Prowler. On this we checked once again to confirm and this time figures were even lower close to 4S. PUC guy said vehicle is very good but why it makes big sound? He assumed it as a 4 stroke vehicle (due to similar shape of Caliber and emission values)
3. Thanks to Bajaj for providing Front Gripped tire over a standard Ribbed tire. This ensures sure and safe breaking and provide great stability and confidence while cornering.
4. Low 2T Oil Warning Indicator to eliminate risk of running out of 2T Oil and prevention of possible damage to the Engine.
5. Halogen head lamp, and quality Car like wiring harness.
6. Rubber boot (Cover) for Front Shock Absorbed.

Prowler price was higher than KB 125 but it was worth to pay that extra amount.

Experience of riding this beauty is excellent, Engine is smooth and full with power, Suspension is like a premium sedan, handling and control is superb. Braking is sure and safe. Headlight beam covers every corner of the road, hence even safe for night driving. Overall it is a great bike.

Decade back this bike was a head turner and even now it is for sure...

thanks a lot for sharing the pics ( and for putting up with my constant bugging), finally now i know what the prowler looks like, beautiful
please dont let go of this piece no matter what

WOW!! Thats a beautifully kept Prowler there. Extremely rare! I think you should keep it in closed doors and maybe just ride it on special occasions.

It also has a Brembo caliper!

Bajaj used to play like any thing by releasing so many variants like KB100,KB125,SX enduro,prowler,cromo,caliber,aspire...and so on.. to keep up their market in 90's this prowler was later evolved into croma with 4 stroke mill. almost same body parts.

one can't suddenly recognise prowler as 2 stoke when its engine off.

Manoj, can you please share some engine specs too. For some strange reason the speedo shows only till 120Kmph, can you share some top-speed figures.

That thing just looks like Caliber Croma (the one with disc). Bajaj is known for trying too many things. Even now nobody can beat their line-up.

actually the initial models of kb100 also came with munjal showa rear shocks , i still have the original pair with me

Hello !

Once I stretched her and she crossed 120 mark (maximum available on the Meter) very easily and the needle was almost over the Bottom Bajaj logo. But there were no speed marking to measure. But it was certainly more than 120 km/h may be at around 130 - 135 km/h.
