    With due respect, I don't know what you all feel

    I said what I feel is correct, now up-to you all to decide.

    The purpose of an engine oil is of lubrication. It won't help in minimizing vibration.
    What are Vibrations in the first place, that you say bajaj oil causes vibrations. ?
    Every other pages has a few posts saying use Motul oil and there won't be any vibs till high in the rev range. It won't stop vibs, what it will do is provide better lubrication and make the engine run smooth. This is the reason all you say there won't be vibrations.
    Vibration happens due to many other factors.

    1.How much your getting millage in city and Highways ..???

    2. Are you getting any vibration at 70-80 Kmph speed..??

    3.is bike is smooth or rough..??/
    You can get from 30kmph to 45 kmph in cities depending on how you ride and follow run in.
    2.Vibrations are due to bajaj engine oil, switch to motul and no vibes till 100kmph IF you maintain your bike.
    3.till 125kmph, bike is super smooth, after that engine feels a little rough.
    Note that only the name pulsar is common with older pulsars, rest nothing is common, in terms of quality, dependence,value, this bike is way ahead than the rest of pulsars.
    Fyi- ns owner.

    I am using the bike for the past 15 days . I was expecting the vibrations so no issue with that. I have driven 400 kms till date . Whenever I encounter even the slightest bump on the road , there is a small rattling sound from the front panel . However what is worrying me is that day by day, this rattling sound seems to be increasing. I inspected the bike and I don't see or feel any bolt is loose or anything like that . Now today , sound are coming even from the rear panel . What I am guessing is that the vibrations along with the stiff suspension is making the fittings loose . I am planning to buy an allen key set today as it is not provided with the tool kit and the head light and instrument assembly is fitted with allen screws . Has anybody else encountered this problem and solved it . Please let me know . Thanks in advance
    Dear Rohit.I guess it's the problem with your Number Plate Holder.Me too had the similar issue on my Pulsar 220F,got it fixed by Service Center guys.They just bent the number plates and the rattling sound is gone.Also congrats for ur Ride.

    Check for any coolant leakages...if you see any drops somewhere if so take to the SC ASAP...

    Its quite difficult to go fast on a bike in heavy wind.. or even light wind. Especially for a naked bike. There's a section of a flyover near my house which due to its elevated position is a very windy place. I could never go over 115kmph on it.

    As someone had already mentioned... its not about the speed, its about the rpm...for the first 1k kms stay below 4k rpm then increase the speed by moving the vehicle to 5k rpm in 6th gear...and gradually increase the lower gears rpm to +1k rpm every 500 kms...

The SVC guy told me that I can drive my bike at top speeds and that won't affect the engine(He also suggested that it's better to do this after 1st service because any manufacturing defect will be rectified at the first service only). Even after 1st service gradual increasing in speed is better for the engine's life. Vibrations are higher at lower speeds only. Engine's butter smooth at 3500 rpm at the speed of 48 - 51. When the gears are shifted at lower rpm the bike moves smoothly at slower speeds(45 @ 3300 rpm in 6th gear).
    Thanks mate. So that means after 550 km aka 1st service i can start moving the bike at >60kph.

    And what vibrations are we talking about here, kindly clarify. Is it as bad as apache?

    There is no point if you kept your vehicle under 4k rpm till 2k km and just after that you start revving it to 9k...
    Increase gradually... start to go to 5k rpm at 6th gear... move ahead slowly...

    Buy this bike and 'm sure you won't regret it...
    There surely are vibrations but as someone said earlier, no bike is perfect, neither is this one...

    No offence, but to me, the TS seems like way too worried about the bike. One suggestion, don't worry too much. Keeping the bike under 54km/h ? Who told you this. ? In the run-process, keep check on your rpms, not the speed. Baby it too much and it will not give optimal performance later, rip it too much and the result will be the same. Try to mix it you. Changing rpm's. And try to enjoy the ride.
