I am Shesh performance of my Pulsar Dtsi 150 forced me to write the review. I am frequent visitor of mouthshut.com from last 4 yrS..
ll reviews really help me to select the bike as per my requirements. I bought the Pulsar 150 cc (Black) on sept 2005 till now...I have completed 29K without a single problem.
I did lot many long drives of 400 Km one side…My pulsar supported like anything...Fantastic road grip and road presence, breaking system very very good …Mileage was around 63 tested with full tank to full tank basis (Power Petrol) on highway.
I stay in pune city my daily usage is around 50 Km (mixed highway as well as city) in a days in a heavy traffic I am getting 59-60 KM/Ltr with normal petrol. Tested with full tank to Full tank basis. Even checked in the service centre.
I am very much satisfied with the performance even I have not spent a single penny other than the normal servicing…..no parts replacement …nothing…Some use full points that I follow might help you all to get the better mileage and performance.
Prefer power petrol or speed for 4-6 months if you bike is new and follow the instructions in the user manual till the second free service that helps the engine to settle and give the optimum performance.
Drive the bike always in 50-60..avoid unwanted hard breaking and racing
If you are waiting more than 100 sec on a single try to switch of the engine ( I know it’s difficult if u don’t have the electric start)
Avoid unwanted gear shift and maintain.
Always go for a kick start in the morning rather electric start this habit help to increase the battery life.
Change the gears as per the speed and traffic conditions…..use less clutch (I mean I saw lots of people in the single stop the bike and keep waiting in the first gear with clutch engaged...)
Clean the air filters once in 6 months (I saw in the normal service …… people will not clean the air filter….)
Have fun…safe drive ….Pulsar is a really good Bike considering all aspect except seating comfort…..
Thanks you all ….comments welcome!!
