bajaj is going to far by compromising on quality ..... this 3rd or more incident taking place...........

[esumitkumar]

shukr hai..i have P-180..

i had an accident 2-3 days ago where a fellow just drove his kinetic tirri into other side of road without giving any sign @$@$@$@$@$@

i was driving@ 60 ..applied full disc brakes..me n bike fell...only its handle got bent due to impact on road ..had to replace the full handle @ 310 bucks ..and me got several injuries too

i curse that fellow but P-180 was as before

[freebird]

btw braking needs some expertise too.My Fiero skids the second if someone try rear brakes(most of us do),in suzuki fiero u need to brake using a combination of front brake at a higher preposition than rear brake.

[prateek_san]

lucky u man.........

[vnl5486]

damn....why compromise on quality....people's life is at stake here....

[prateek_san]

@ freebird

i know braking needs some expertise.... i have uni... so know how to brake at sudden situations.....but still no bike will fall into pieces after a hard braking....

[esumitkumar]

ya ..no bike will fall to pieces..may be we can ask some eyewitness thr at IISC to post some pics

[Goten]

Fell of a number of times from ma pulsar.

LOL.

LOL.

Peace~~~!

me too can't believe that , many Frnds have pulsar 180 n 200 n they seem to have good build quality .

[thecyclone2k]

Yeah, a video footage would be a treat! Still, pics will be fine! . It would have been funny to watch! lol.

Wonder, how they took the pieces back home and saying to thier Mom, Mumma! Bike toot gaya! haha lol.

Sorry but, I find this funny! If it is real, must be a bad stuff for the owner.

[VD17]

lol.. anyways, news is that Bajaj is replacing all the suspensions and compensating the customers by offering them a tank full of fuel and new "Ninja" helmets... heh... i guess everyone mistakes.. reminds me of the Apple battery fiasco...
still i'd buy the P200 for its arse kicking abilities.. if i had the dough...

[prateek_san]

yeah sure go ahead ...... u will also get a tank full of petrol and Ninja helmet .....so that u dont die while ridin that bike

[yogi_7272]

thanks god . my pulsar fell some 2 yrs ago while hard breaking .. or we would have been dead .. but seriously .. we need to apply both brakes equally to stop at high speeds ..

[NIGHTMARE]

when i bought my cbz nd my frnd bought a pulsar 150 cc,the nxt day we had made a race during that he used disc brakes nd with with an severe accident.his back tyres got high up nd he strolled to a distance.when he done that it seems that he is doing stoopy but ultimately it was an devastating rash.he got hurt at his face nd hand also got scrubbed.the bike also dismantled.it gave me a hint of the bad braking nd poor handling command in bike which i never xperienced in my cbz. thnk god i hadnot bought a pulsar.now i have a karizma nd i came to unveil that hero honda hadnot degraded its product rather it is upgraded than previous one.in karizma the i got to know that how it produces full power at low rpm nd bike establishes an effective torque which i hadnot seen in its contemprory market products.now i m waiting for tvs 250cc bike nd also apache 160cc which produces 15.5 horse power

[prateek_san]

man was ur friend Ok after that crash ....well this time bajaj made a big fault, they have fitted bigger disc without taking care of the front forks.....and when the disc is applied at full strength .... we all can see the results to that.....

[NIGHTMARE]

ya he is all right now but he had got an serious injury at spinal chord,fractured leg nd still he has scratch signs left in his face which only can be trated after surgery.it reveals that bajaj just increases the power of bike without having the basic balancing systems.it posses improper balance nd torque nd also poor handling.it produces its power after 7000 RPM which is a major drawback in bajaj technology.i will never suggest to buy 150cc bike or above cc

That's Indian R&D for you. that is why honda/suzuki bikes should be preferable than our local bikes.

dunno bout u But I certainly would go for a Pulsar , it looks way cooler man n is a please to ride , i haven't heard or seen ny problems with pursal here in Lucknow .

no pics were there of the broken pulsar ..... . the pics that i have shown u is of those p200 whose front forks have broken at speed around 20-40 kmph

[VD17]

heh.. you know what.. i have seen so many pulsar brickbats (generally insecure honda owners) that i wouldnt be surprised if that mouthshut article was a fake... for all i can say, i might as well go to mouthshut.com and write that today i saw a bike XYZ have its engine fall off and the petrol tank burst into flames on a highway... lol
As regards bajaj R&D, i praise them.. to such an extent to forgive this mistake of theirs. In fact, its probably not even the R&D's fault.. suspensions are the OEM's responsibility... i bet bajaj is grilling them already...
We talked about bajaj R&D.. well.. lets see.. DTS-i (first 150cc bike in India which balanced power and mileage immaculately, before that we had CBZ which was miserable in mileage)... then they dictated how the market went.. they started giving alloy wheels.. look at everyone now... LED's, Digital Speedos, Gas suspensions...
It's apalling to see how people love to criticise bajaj at the first chance... they're a company from India who's making it big on its own efforts.. they're the company which challenged (and annihilated) HH's dominance... being a patriot, i'd defend bajaj.. atleast from the crappy japs (yamaha and honda) who have not yet come out with a single successful bike (in terms of sales).. yamaha doesnt know the words 150cc and honda seems to suffer from a sleep disorder which makes em wake up n give facelifts to their bikes months after the competition... (even now they did just a stickering job with borrowed alloys, graphics and styling)..
and we still throw stones at bajaj... way to go...

[prateek_san]

dude Honda is not launching its big bikes becuz of customs charges...the prices of any bikes will be more than double ...so they r working on a new plant a Gurgaon...and we will see 250 CC twister bikes by the end of this yr.....dunno bout yamaha...btw im not trying throw stones at Bajaj....its just their quality of their products....i really loved the first DTSi which was rock solid bike but after that, its not the same scene now....btw atleast the crappy japs have good engines than ur Faithfull Indian Bajaj.....

Bajaj can do anything they want and no other person can point to them...but everyone can point to any company except bajaj.....whether they do some fault or no fault at all... see thats the problem u Bajaj fans have ur simply Blind when u see Bajaj launching any new things.....

Correction: The Sony battery fiasco.

From the original "review":

The speed was also not too much it was only 45 kmph to 0 brake.

I wonder how this guy came to know that!

Sounds like a lame attempt to discredit Bajaj. And my Pulsar 150 (the older and lowest configured model) has fallen an uncountable number of times on all sorts of surfaces at all sorts of speeds but it looks and works fine. More importantly, it has never broken to pieces. I am hard pressed to remember ever having broken anything apart from the covers of the indicators.

[knoughtyd]

Pulsar 200 are likely to be recalled by Bajaj Auto Ltd because front fork has a major design defect/ metal fatigue issues and a few bikes have collapsed...

I have 150DTS-i v2.2
Even I havent broke anything aprt the indicators.

But these days my bike is all screwed up. I think I got a defected model. Exhaust has been changed, Rear brakes dont work(bikes skiids like anything if I use them), Front brakes have lost the power, Rear tyre punctures every month, I dont feel confident enough to zoom my bike

Due to this rear wheel problem, I've slipped thrice but those bajaj showroom mechanics say " bhai sahab itne kaide brakes hai ki skid maar rahe hain, or kya chahiye???" bloody arseholes. Do they get training or something???

[prateek_san]

i was talking about unicorn.. they launched the updates miserably late... and regards the engine, we'll see now.. let the DTS-fi come...
Bajaj bikes are so popular that nearly every other person owns.. more the ownership, more problems are bound to be heard... i wonder if the problems you have heard of are from bikes which have even been serviced regularly...

Bajaj can do anything they want and no other person can point to them...but everyone can point to any company except bajaj.....whether they do some fault or no fault at all... see thats the problem u Bajaj fans have ur simply Blind when u see Bajaj launching any new things.....

when did i say that thing? i said i "forgive" them for this.. forgiving is to someone whom you acknowledge has made a mistake... interestingly, in the last 5 years.. nearly every new bike that bajaj has launched has ripped apart the sales...

[prateek_san]

u want to speak about their quality ...did forget the silencers of the Discover and P150 v2 nearly all the ppl had to change their silencers within 4-6 months of buying the bikes........

thats a lie...
many people had to change it.. thats because the adulteration in fuel in varanasi... remember how litres of water were taken out from ur bike? the bajaj engines burned that fuel too and the vapour caused the silencers too rust.. no one makes bikes to run on adulterated fuel... and by the way, its been 10 months since nish's discover... not a single speck of rust on it...

[prateek_san]

arey dude nish bought way way way after those things were gone....talking with all bajaj fans is stupidity .... Mods plz delete this thread cuz some of members dont thing this thread is worth it.....i dont want to start any fights here.....
