  • Pulsar 135ls or pulsar 135 R edition

    The time has come for my first bike
    I've been searching for an vfm bike since 2-3 months
    I have read all the ownership reviews of almost all bikes in 125 and 150 cc segment.
    Finally I decided to take pulsar 135ls as I really liked the model and it feels like a very vfm bike.So I'm all set to take the bike in a month until now.......I saw this video
    Pulsar 135 R edicion conmemorativa 2012 2013 precio colombia bogota medellin cali - YouTube
    What is this R edition ? When will it be coming to india?
    Should I wait for it ?I'm really confused now

    please help me here
    If you ride like there's no tomorrow there won't be.

    Query approved.

    I don't think there is any new Pulsar launch in pipeline for this year.

      Looks like a new paint job. Looks neat enough.

      But if SunilG, xbhp mod, has said no further launches this year then that mean NO further launches this year.

      xBhp = Rajiv Bajaj's personal favourite.

            If spy pics are to be believed then probably the next gen 135(NS?) will be out Jan 13.

            The white something tells me will be new colour out soon, max by Diwali. Check with your dealer.

              In all probability, it is a local paint-job with little modifications/additions like handle-bar hand protectors and engine guard etc etc.

              just painting a naked bike white does not make it an R-edition.

                Well IMO I Don't Think Its A Paintjob
                I Think Its An Indonesian Verion Of Rouser135 (Pulsar 135)

                I Bought A 135LS Which In Red In Color...
                And My Friend And Myself Wrapped It In White Color...
                Costed Me Around INR 430/- For The White Material...
                (It Would Cost Just INR 350-470 , But I Wrapped The Tank Twice)
                And INR 50/- For The Tools...
                I'm Really Impressed With The Result
                Below Are Some Images Of My P135 Currently...

                If You Need To Know How It Was Done...
                I'll Be Glad To Write It Down

                Regards,Vijay

                    Well Bro...
                    I Live In Coimbatore
                    Here I Get Everything The Cheap And Best...
                    I Get Genuine Spares & Also Mod Parts Out Here...

                    There Were Two Solid Reasons Why I Change My Bike To White...
                    1. Met With An Accident...
                    Had To Wrap The Machine To Get Rid Of Visible Scratches...
                    2. I Too Saw The Same Video & Was Really Impressed By The White...


                    The Materials Required:
                    1. The Wrapping Material...
                    Basically Its A Glossy White Sticker Which Expands On Heating...
                    Its Spelled As LG Hausys HI-CAL...
                    (1 Sq.Ft Costs INR 11/- In My Area)
                    You Can Get It In Wholesale Sticker Shops Where They Print Stickers In Huge Scale...


                    2. Squeezers...
                    Comes In Handy While Sticking...
                    The One In Green & Blue Is Rubber Squeezers & The One In Red Is Plastic Squeezer...
                    You Can Get It In The Sticker Shop As Well...
                    (Plastic Squeezer INR 5/- Each ; Rubber Squeezer INR 10/- Each)


                    3. Heater...
                    To Stretch The Material In Curves
                    Well Its Obvious I Don't Have A Heater
                    I Stole My Sis's Hair Dryer :P


                    4. Some Other Basic Tools...
                    (Screwdrivers, Spanners, Allenkeys)
                    To Remove Some Basic Parts

                    5. The Most Important Of All...
                    "Patience"
                    Its A Long Tedious Work...
                    So You Need Patience
                    (It Took Me Nearly 3 Hours To Wrap The Tank)


                    Steps:
                    1. Get Yourself A Wide Clear Area Where There Is Less Wind & Breeze...
                    (In My Case I Used My Car Park :P)

                    2. Go Ahead And Remove Small Parts...
                    (In My Case I Removed The Whole Headlight Setup, The Scoops, Seats Etc)


                    3. Select The Smallest Part In The Motorcycle & Start Off With It...
                    (In My Case I Started With The Headlight Scoops...)

                    4. Go Ahead And Apply The Sticker After You Remove The Backing Paper...
                    Start Applying Pressure From The Center And Then Move Onto The Sides...
                    If You Find Any Wrinkles Or Bubbles Just Peel The Applied Sticker Till It Opens Up To The Bubble & Start Sticking From That Point Once Again...
                    Use The Heater And Gently Apply Pressure To Stretchen The Material In Curves...

                    [Note: When Using The Sticker, Remember You Can Stick It, Remove It And Again Stick It For Nearly 10-15 Times Without Loosing The Adhesive In The Back Side]

                    5. When You Come To The Edges Just Heat The Material & Push It Towards The Inside So That It Has A Good Finish

                    Now When You Feel Quite Confident In Yourself Go Ahead And Start Stickering The Bigger Parts...
                    My General Advice Is To Wrap The Tank In Two Pieces...
                    First Cover One Half Of The Tank...
                    And Then Move On to The Other Half...

                    Finally You'll Get Your Bike Done Well And Good...
                    Don't Worry For Mistakes...
                    If You Have Messed Up With The Sticker Just Slowly Peel It Of From One Edge And Try To Reapply It...
                    If Not Peel The Sticker Gently...
                    It Comes Of In Ease...
                    But You Need To Remove The Residue Left Behind...
                    Which I Not Tough...
                    I Got A Solution For INR 20/- Which When Applied Removes The Residue In One Wipe...

                    The Advantage Of Wrapping Is That You Can remove It When You Need Back The Stock Color...
                    This Comes In Handy While Selling The Bike...
                    Paintjob Ruins The Resale Values...

                    Below Are Some Pics Of My Bike In Stages When It Was Wrapped...

                    Tank:
                    (This Was Just A Trial On My Tank
                    I Removed It And Wrapped Once Again)


                    Tank & Scoops:


                    Tank & Scoops & Front Mudguard


                    Rear Scoops:


                    The Final Product:


                    Hope I've Made It Clear

                      excellent.that is a well written tutorial.You can post it in DIY section
                      I didnot know that we can use stickers.
                      As I live in rural area,I think those products will be hard to find.Anyway I will definitely inquire about the method in my locality when I get my hands on my first bike. I hope there will be someone who can do the job for me .I'm totally new in dismantling bike parts

                      Did you know how much will it cost for paint job ?? How is the smoothness when compared to paint??
                      one more thing ..Will it void the warranty ?

                      Once again thanks for the very detailed tutorail

                        Posting It Right Away
                        Well Honestly Speaking I Wanted It To Be Done In A Shop
                        But They Asked Me INR 4500/- For White Stickering
                        And INR 17,000/- For Spraypainting & Bringing In A Glossy Finish...
                        That's Why I Did By Myself...

                        BTW Where Do You Live In??

                        The Stickering Is Real Smooth Like Butter...
                        Its Very Easy To Clean And Use...
                        And I Think It Will Void The Warranty...

                          I never thought paint job will cost such huge amount
                          I live in andhra pradesh. I'll ask the dealer if it really voids the warranty
                          Thanks for your replies bro

                          Can you please give me your fb link?
                          I have few doubts about run-in maintenance

                              A very good and safe biker not only because he can pop up either of the wheels,scrape his knees on a corner or go fast and make it look stylish but because he very well knows his limits and capabilities and has the patience to learn about others and ride safe ! :)
