surprise surprise got the new pulsar

...its been a roller coaster ride from "the blue looks awesome on cb" to 'oh the honda engine is butter smooth".. to "nahi bhai lets go and give jive a check..." later " arghh it sounds so much and drives like a ct 100 " to finally ending up with a ravishing red pulsar 135 ...
yeah one test ride of this new age pulsar with its sporty stance, rev friendly grunt and space age looks made the cb look so boyish and underpowered ....
no doubt cb twister is a wonderful product with vfm ride quality and absolute stunner for looks .. but the rider in you just makes you so greedy .... and hence an elder brother falls for lip smacking power instead of sedate biking logic....

so im writing this message with heart felt warmth towards the devilish pulsar with no harm intended towards either jive or cb.. both are good in their own respect and i agree with most here that cb is a good enough deal for starters but having driven the feminine dio for 6 years my appetite for a rev friendly bike just grew on me and i fell for the 135..

now i need help of the xbhpians to guide me with the correct "run in " procedures and pointers to keep this ride hale and hearty.


i must say pulsar 135 is a good vfm product and it delivers what it promises.. i would have fancied a more naked look on it vis vis a comet but thats asking for too much.. bajaj have innovated well getting most things right here and i hope their RnD minds keep churning stunning products ..

p.s how do you edit the thread title?? or do the mods have to do it ... if so than mods please edit the title as ive cb and jive are long forgotten machines from now on in my household

and yeah jd666 my brother absolutely adores his new possession but being a responsible rider i know what to instil in him to keep him safe
thank you guys

^^^ sahi hai boss... can't stop the unintentional grin

RUN IN PROCEDURES.. im yet to lay my hands on the manual .. and which engine oil is best for this mill??

is it just me or the rear tyre hugger looks shabby to everyone??.. i must say thats an eyesore apart from the saree guard which im planning to remove pretty soon but before that wanted to ask the seniors here if it could do more damage than good.
apart from this i wanted to ask if the engine could be spray painted in black??
as i fancy a black and red combo continuing through the profile, besides this i thought putting a red tape around the inner circumference of the tyre [ i dunno how to put it] might make it more appealing .. i wanted to stream line the aesthetics of this baby but was apprehensive if my ideas are an over kill any more suggestions to sooth the looks further are more than welcomed

is removing the tyre hugger and saree guard just a nut bolt job easy as 1- 2 -3 or is there a specific DIY routine to it??

^^without rear hugger the bike looks skinny, and splashes water dust to all new heights!!
there is a joint on the hugger i just removed the extra part,
and for thr run-in do not rev the engine for more then 4k mark for 1000kms and your bike will be fine!
try leaning on the bike its just awsome feeling it is super sticky on road.

Seems like you have been "Jiving" around with your choice and finally gave a "twist" to the whole thing. Congratulation on your new p135!!

The Cb twister fills your requirements. It gives a mileage of 60-70 km and is easily the best looking 100-125cc bike. The premium price only justifies it. This is definitely a bike made for young people. The bike is light and can be handled without a breeze through city traffic.
The pickup is not as good as you expect from a 110cc bike but is ok.

The tvs jive is essentially the ladies bike. The very idea of riding a bike is for its control. The absense of clutch takes away most of the control from the rider and the knock free engine and any gear start, better look for a scooter, which has the added advantage of plenty of space. (not honda dio)
IF you are not much of a pro in handling bikes, this would be ok for you but if you want a real Bike, go for the cb twister.

i must say this pulsars looks grow on you everytime you walk upto it for a ride.. being in thr run in period with neck deep traffic ive not been able to enjoy what bajaj claims... suspension and nice throaty torque seem to be a class act .. but im not as satisfied with the looks .. yeah greedy bugger you might say but if owners and other riders could advice me 'easy on the bike' visual tweeks .. not with a super poser value but something that leaves you contended every time you have a look at it..
i really like motor cross like helmets and have been on the look out for a red one or a white helmet with bad ass graphics.. would wega suffice??
or is a red helmet an overkill.. another decent choice would be a black matt finish.

keep your views pouring in guys

yah btw i dont know where to post such visual mod related queries so posted it here itself

Congrats for owning the Power Commuter!!

dude remove the mudguard of the P135... I saw it yesterday it was looking awesome on the machine...

You can wait 1 month for new(new Stickered) HH Passion Pro with digi clock and LED back lights. The bike looks sharper than the current Passion.

Time to lock this thread I guess as the user has got the bike, and can contribute in the ownership thread!
