Zzzzoommmmm... Great Bike but Avg Service. Review on Bajaj Pulsar

Does this beauty need any reviews? Just take a look at it and take a ride... it will simply drive your mind away!

Looks are absolute stunning... the best ever in India... colors, style, comfort, everything is near perfect.

I bought a 150 around 5 months back and since then everyday I keep on falling in love with her everyday :)

Balance is perfect... pick up is cool (though not a good as 2 stroke bike) but is good enough. Gear ratio is good... everything's almost the way it should be!

Warning: New buyers beware!

I was really disappointed by the kind service I was given. My bike was near perfect (avg: 45-50 km/lt)and everything was fine when I gave it for 1st service... after that... boom... nothing was right... disc brake performance was down by 80%! Average: 35 km/lt, Oil Leakage, vehicle was somewhat heavy in driving, noise from shockers... it was royally screwed by Baja service engineer. It had return it for 2 warranty services... after which it somewhat regain its original touch but... it was not the same. :( I told the same to Bajaj engineer... but according to them thats the way Pulsar supposed run!

Then I changed my service station and to a different one for 2nd service and Wham! the Love of my life is back again :)

It has again gained the same touch, average is 50+ km/lt. But though everything is fine... I could still room for improvements like: disc brakes are still at 60% of original... rear brakes arent good enough... I think average should also go up.

Anyways I had a bad luck with Baja service engineers... theres nothing wrong with the Bike!

God please make those engineers listen to customers problems!

UPDATE

Date: 15 Aug 2003

I still have some minor problems with my bike but now some how my dealer has got some sense and he is genuinely trying to solve my problems... I have even got 3-4 warranty services apart from normal free services :) Maybe God made them listen to customer problems or was it Mouthshut ;-)

Thanks!
