Hello Alvinyansg. So u mean the best place to buy a new pulsar is UM?

Hello Alvinyansg. So u mean the best place to buy a new pulsar is UM?

 

personally i would recommend UM...

@alvinyansg, hoping to take off in a couple of weeks, end of may or first week of June. But will depend on how fast the visa paperwork can be done for the countries requiring some preparation and which can't give you a visa right at the border. For my pillionette it's much easier, Singapore passport holders have it easy when they travel in south east asia..

 

For the fuel line, I'm not sure that's true, because for the P200, that latex tube is where you pour fuel when the tank is removed, if you want the bike to run (to test things for example before putting the tank back).

That's the ONLY place to buy a new Pulsar actually. Anywhere else, they would have to have got it from UM themselves, because UM is the sole distributor of Bajaj bikes in Singapore.

unless the tank construction is different from the 180(which i doubt it is)

then likely the tubing inside is the drain tube

when you remove the tank you have to remove the fuel tube from the fuel tap area and that is where normally the mech will put a bottle of fuel to run the bike and hang the bottle on your handlebar...

Oh yeah you're absolutely right, I get what you mean now ! Thanks for explaining

@dejaxx: to remove the tank:

 

0. TURN OFF YOUR FUEL TANK LEVER

1. Remove pillion seat

2. Remove rider's seat

3. Unbolt and keep the screw that fixes the tank to the bike's frame. Don't worry if it's tight, it's supposed to be. If I'm not mistaken, it's a 12 size bolt.

4. Lift your tank from there carefully but apply some force to get it to lift up. The head of the thank will stay attached to the bike's frame, but the tail can be lifted a good degree.

5. If you squat on the right side of the bike (throttle side), you might be able then to see the green connector cable. If not lift a bit more the tank. (On some bikes, depending how the tank was put back, you can see the green connector without lifting the tank)

6. Squeeze in a hand under the lifted tank and disconnect the green connector - it's a simple connector that you unclip. It's roughly located on top of the carburator.

7. It's best if you can to have someone else to help : they can keep the tank lifted while you look for and disconnect the cable. It's doable by yourself, just be patient

8. After that, reach deeper with your hand under the tank. You'll feel the fuel line: it's a black latex tube fixed to the tank with a spring. Hold it steady and push it down to free it from the tank. Don't hesitate to pull a bit hard if you need to, but try to keep your hand steady: there might be some fuel still in the tube.

9. Try to squeeze the now free fuel tube somewhere near the bike frame to not have it drip, or just leave it (not a big deal if it drips a few drops!)

10. Your tank is now free of any ties. Hold it with both hands close to the front. The tank is "clipped" to the front sides to the bike frame by enclosing a round plastic head thingy. So you have to lift it up a bit slanted, tail up, head down, and pull up. Play with it, to try and free it from the bike's frame. It's easy to do, don't worry, even if the fuel inside travels and makes the tank feel like it's swaying, if you hold it with both hands you can't drop it. Play with it while pulling up and you'll free it.

11. Put it down on the ground. I usually try to rest it on something, especially if it's more than half full: otherwise the tank rests on it's lever/cock and I'm not sure how much it can take. So once it's down on the floor, you'll see that if you squeeze a screw driver or something under the tank "wings" , you'll be able to have it sit nicely on it's tail instead of the lever.

 

Any wires you will run on the bike from the head to the tail, run them following the bike frame and the existing wires. Try as much as possible to run the wires "inside" the bike, i.e not exposed on the side. They'll be better protected. Once your wires are done and everything tested, cable tie them to existing wires and/or bike frame. Again this will hold them in place and avoid any damage happening to them. If in the future you need to change/replace them, you can just cut the cable ties.

Avoid using electrical tape to fix the wires to the frame: with the heat and humidity it will become all gooey and sticky - horrible stuff.

 

And something I learned with experience: make quality connections. You can just twist cables and put some electrical tape on them, but you'll thank yourself if one day you have to change lights or anything, if your connections are clean and done with proper connectors. Plus it ensures a long lasting insulation as well. Sim Lim and Autobacs sell all sorts of cool connectors, allowing to tap into wires and connecting them in a nice, hassle free way.

 

Last tip I find useful: take pictures with your phone or whatever of the set up before you start working and at each step: it will be a great way to remember where the bolts go, where the wires go etc etc if you change anything and want to go back or "close" the bike.

 

Enjoy your DIY project !

 

 

@O'Ren thanks for the detailed description on removing the tank :thumb:

 

@alvinyansg yeh i've noticed there is rubber tube dangling which I later realized which is for the over flow, from the petrol tank.. do i need to turn the fuel tap to 'off' position to stop the flow of petrol?

YES...MUST off the fuel lever before you disconnect the grey fuel hose from the fuel lever side...if not you will have fuel gushing out...

if you are not really sure of how to take out and put back the tank,my advise is don't do it on your own 1st...

meet up and let someone teach/show you 1st in case you damage the wiring and/or the tank...

i will try to find some pics of the location and parts later when i get home...

now at a wedding dinner...
