The fascinating pulsar

3 years ago by Vaisakh C394 views

Hi guys,This is my first review on bikewale. So please bear with me on it.I have recently bought a pulsar 150 dtsi, about a week back and would like to put up a few thoughts on it. Will update my review in future when i have a more timed experience on this bike. I selected a pulsar because of its technical supremacy over others and great looks.Highlights of this bike. Good pickup, - it just rooms Great looks, - definitely turns heads Good fittings - international feel Nice sound - murmur of a tiger on the pro No problem in driving at high gears at low speeds Nice breaks Good grip on the road Excellent balance even when being a little heavier - a person like me with 5'7'' height can also drive it with ease (was having some apprehensions earlier)Low lights of the bike. Many false neutrals - problem faced at high speeds, as well as city driving. The idling engine speed is high, as per the dealer it is normal and will be rectified during first visit. But don't know exactly about it.Engine gets heated soon.- might be a temporary problem because of high revs and new bike.I think any person with a city driving routine can go for this bike which will be an excellent commuter. I know it is a bit costly that its companions in the 150cc club but the snob value and the rave looks it gets from roadside persons is worth the extra grands put in.So besides the excellent technology of dtsi and others, i think it makes a solid proposition to go for this bike.

I am the second owner of the pulsar 2006 model it has been retested and certified fit for the next 5 years, I have also bought a used cbr 250 r recently but since pulsar is my first bike I couldn't sell it and it is in superb condition, despite the fact the parts are not of brilliant quality bajaj service team is superb. I use shell 4t 10 w synthetic oil for the past three times and found the machine much refined.
I am getting an average mileage of 45 kmpl in a local run and maximum mileage of 72 kmpl which I got doing an economical ride while maintaining avg rpm and around 55 km/hr speed.
The main concern for this bike is I feel hard to sit on this after completing 40 kms in a single stretch.

4Pulsar 150- should you consider it 10 months ago by Amaresh Kumar Sinha
Firstly, the buying experience was very nice. Easily available and the showroom people were also very nice. For daily use, this is a no brainer. Mileage is so-so good(around 40-45 in the city). Around 50 on highways. Also the bike is not that bulky so it can be handled ...
Firstly, the buying experience was very nice. Easily available and the showroom people were also very nice.
For daily use, this is a no brainer. Mileage is so-so good(around 40-45 in the city). Around 50 on highways. Also the bike is not that bulky so it can be handled easily
Look wise, pulsar is at par with any bike of this price range.
You don't need to spend much on service on maintenance.
Pros-
1. For daily use this is awesome.
2. Mileage is pretty good
3. Look wise awesome in this range
4. Good pick up and also you can ride at low speeds in 3rd gear. So you don't need to shift gears every now and then
Cons-
1. If you ride continuously for 2-3 hours the engine gets too much heated. So you have to take a break in between. Nice if you ride for 150-200 km. But after that you will face issues, mainly heating problem
2. Turning radius is not that good. So it is a problem
3. There is a small hole in the silencer for water to come out. But sometimes this creates problem as you can feel that moisture and water when you start the bike

I purchased my pulsar 150 cc dts si in 2006 Jan -1st. Now it has been a long experience for the past 15 years. Till now its giving 48 + mileage in 150 cc range, and for the past 15 years I have ridden nearly 2,70,000 km to 3 lakh km approximately. I think it should be more, with very low maintenance. Only once I changed the bore for this bike. After 10 years of usage and it cost around Rs 8000 in showroom only. After that I regularly service every 4 months once and change engine oil for every 1800 to 2000 kms. Old is gold still I will use this bike for another couple of years undoubtedly. I use it for long trips also which is around 300 km a day. Its quite good on performance. I suggest to concentrate on rear suspension as its not comfortable for above 350 km journey a day for 2 people.

My parents brought me bajaj pulsar 150 way back in 2005 when i was in college, at that time sporty bikes were not common as now. And pulsar was my dream bike then and now also. So it was a dream come true for me. I was not taking bike to college as i dint got my licence when i got my bike. But when i was very excited to ride it as soon as i got my licence few months after that. Riding experience has been amazing and is still. Absolutely love the sound it produces with the stock silencer. Its amazing even for long rides and is good to handle even if the road conditions are worse without complains.I love the design of it. Simple and appealing. Not too much of aggressive styling like we see in today's bikes. I have never modified my bike till date nor even painted it or even any sticker or taping work. Its still as on day one. Perforce is so good still that i have not replaced my pulsar still and not planning to replace in near future.I spent very less on its servicing as i used to go to college which was nearby and was working in nearby organisation so i rode it for less km. Maintenance cost was minimal with minimal maintenance required. But now it is little pricey to maintain as the spare parts are not available easily.Pros - simple design, better mileage that what bikes are giving now. Easy to maintain. Still running good. Still not replaced by any other bike.Cons- spare parts are not available now as it is old model.

1.Bought second hand 2.Good for daily commute 3.Performance fades over the years but has good grunt still now.Looks are a bit old now.Need to update it asap.4.Servicing has not been nice but cheap and spares are available easily and for cheap but durability of spares is questionable.It is the most available bike in second hand market because of this reason. 5.Pros . Definitely male. .Good amount of performance for the price. .Well known bike among garages and spares are cheap. Good of daily commute.Cons. Bikes starts falling apart after 3 or more years depending on how you ride. .Spare and quality of the bike is down and questionable. .Performance starts fading. update the quality.

Great combination of power, style, mileage, not so costly spares, value for money bike. Using this bike for 15 years, still running fine. Applying for re registration, once done good to go for another 5 years. Few repairs to be done. Petrol tank and silencer got rusted and need to be changed. Only issue i ever face is water seeping in through petrol tank lid, for which i use cover during rainy season.

The buying experience was very impressive...It was so easy process. Riding to pulsar 150 is always manly...You never think to get off from your 150 once started because of its deadly power...Awesome looks..You never feel bad about your choice to choose 150...Servicing and maintenance are so easy...You just need to take your 150 to any bajaj service center and it will get done and you will get a refreshed 150...
