Quick in reverse to 2012, when I was into the business sector looking for a best bicycle(in premium suburbanite portion) I was completely altered onto Pulsar 180 in light of the fact that it ticked all the cases for me like bother free and modest upkeep, great FE, usable Power for city rides and hey way rides, agreeable yet a la mode seating position combined with back set foot pegs, 2 piece handle bars and so on. As common when I went to Bajaj Showroom they demanded me to take Pulsar 150 and attempted to persuade me that P150 is better than P180 on the grounds that it has a kick starter:p
However, I was resolved to take P180, in uncommon case P220 or P135 LS(Pulsar 135LS because of its hip looking style, refined motor and more FE). In any case, couldn't purchase a P180 in light of the fact that I was not given account alternative. I left showroom frustrated yet a thought of purchasing an utilized yet great P220 struck me. So went to an utilized bicycle merchant, there I saw a sparkling new P220 with 4k odd kms on it with a third free administration left. I was informed that the proprietor needed to leave to US of An and henceforth sold it. So I paid the cash took the bicycle. From that day till today I'm particularly content with my choice.By the following few rides my bicycle turned into my best buddy and it felt we were associated for all intents and purposes. Its time I became more acquainted with additional about my PAL. The genuine FE makes sense of were coming. For the principal fill I got around 30 kmpl. At that point I tried widely for the right riding design by experimentation strategy. I began changing gears at various RPMs and settled at 3K RPM after numerous trials and mistakes. At 3000 RPM, the bicycle powerband feels direct till 6 to 7K RPM(hypothesis might be subjective) and in the event that one changes gear at 3K RPM, the rigging draws in easily and one can feel the smoothness of motor. Got habituated to 3K shifts for the following couple of hundred Kms and when I checked the mileage I got a decent 43-44 Kmpl.For the initial 8000 kms, the bicycle kept running on Bajaj Dts-i 10000 20W-50 oil. At that point I moved to Shell AX3 mineral oil for next 1500-2000 kms and from that point on I've been utilizing Shell AX7 10W-40. In the middle of I attempted Bajaj Dts-i 10000, Castrol Active, Motul 5100 however never observed motor to be as smooth as when the bicycle kept running on AX7.
The outstanding point here is Bajaj prescribes 20W-50 grade oil. In any case, I've been utilizing 10W-40 oil, and till date I never confronted any issues. Indeed the bicycle feels smooth when 10W40 oil is utilized. Nonetheless, when you utilize 20W50 oil, the underlying speeding up is superior to anything AX7 oil. In any case, after the motor temperature achieves certain point of confinement the AX7 works like appeal. Be that as it may, never at any point warm the motor a lot as the oil being W40 consistency is lesser contrasted with W50 and u feel the bicycle is running unforgiving. This is when Motul 5100 scores High.
