I am a pure bike enthusiast by heart. Many people know me by my first review at BikeAdvice.in. With the help of BikeAdvice, I am here to share my 3 years and 60, 000 kms long experience with my Bajaj Pulsar 135LS. Pulsar-135LS-Pic-Review(4)
I think 60, 000 km is more then enough to know completely about a bike. So I want to share everything, like my all sweet and sour experiences with my bike, pros and cons and maintenance tips with you. Hope my experience will help you to choose correct ride for you or maintain your current one.
Like all other things, different bikes have their different way to handle. Some of them need more care or some need less. The pulsar 135LS is rough and tough bike and you can use this machine with ease.
In next points I am going to describe about all parts and sections of pulsar 135LS in detail. Please note that all views are based on my personal experience.
Introduction
My bike is a September 2010 model. On 2010 I needed a new ride for me. My criteria was power and fuel economy both. And this can be delivered only by 125cc or 150cc machines. So I started short-listing bikes available that time in the market. Honda Stunner, Yamaha SZ, Yamaha gladiator and Bajaj pulsar 150 DTSi are the bikes which really impressed me. But there are some reasons to refuse all above bikes.
Honda Stunner – This is good 125cc bike by Honda. I really like this bike due to its sporty stance and smooth engine. But the main problem was its fairing. After some times its fairing tends to looses and start vibrations and noise. And one more important thing, its engine looses its refinement after sometime. Absence of kick lever is also a reason to drop this.
Yamaha SZ – Good bike in all aspects. This is big, bold machine with strong 150cc engine. But absence if disc brake that time made me disappointed.
Yamaha Gladiator – Skinny tires and high rise handle bar is not good in this. Power figure is also low compared to other 125cc bikes.
Bajaj Pulsar 150 DTSi – I just love this machine. This is miles ahead with its competitors technologically. Design is also good. But this bike is common on road so I cant be stable on my decision.
After comparing several machines I decided finally to go for Bajaj Pulsar 150 DTSi. All was set for Pulsar 150, me and my mind. On shiny day of 22 September 2010 me, my mom and my younger brother went to showroom for my dream machine. When I make my entry on showroom I saw a dazzling black Pulsar 135 DTS-i is welcoming customers. Its striking new design is really impressive. It looks more sporty then Pulsar 150.
Now I am completely hypnotized by Pulsar 135. After collecting general inquiries from showroom and after test ride my mind was set for this new member from Pulsar family. On same day I owned this beast. This bike is made to fill the gap between 125cc and 150cc, and yes, it set in this place beautifully. 3 years and 60, 000 km has been passed from that day and my baby pulsar running same as new. Now I am going to describe you its pros and cons, all about Pulsar 135LS.
