Can lacquer the body?

haha.. like super wax.. prevent scratches and stubborn dirt?

Sounds possible rite? Spray onto the plastic parts and tank..

 

Thats quite cool. Btw theres another trick to preventing rust. THIS METHOD comfirm permenent, confrim invisible.. Use lacquer.. Clear lacquer. Of the mirror bolts. Hadlebar nuts, screws.spoke joints. i sprayed months ago... still no rust... Just spray the lacquer and wipe off the unwanter areas affected.... But not on high temp places bah.

True indeed. But better get the 2k lacquer for the body. Those 10dollar lacquer takes weeks to harden and then by then got all the dirt stuck into the lacquer face ald. Also. If you use those coloured anodized aluminium washers and bar ends... Those colour coliur ones.. Can lacquer over them to prevent them from discolouration and fadeoff from its colour.

Relationship b/w Bajaj, KTM and Kawasaki:

 

Q: Your arrangements with Kawasaki appear to be very different from the one you have with KTM because with KTM you actually own a 47% stake in that company. So, is that on purpose?

 

 

 

A: The two relationships are almost the opposite. In case of KTM we have a lot of enormous commonality in backend because we are developing the new KTMs and the new Pulsars with the Duke 200 and the Pulsar 200 from the same platform. However, the front-end is completely independent. India is a relatively new and small market where they sell 800 motorcycles, whereas KTM and Bajaj has own independent distribution. It is completely independent in terms of brand marketing sales, service and spare parts.

 

 

 

With Kawasaki it will be exactly the opposite. The backend is totally different. We are not developing Ninja’s and they are not developing Pulsar’s. However, the frontend is common because we will both be selling out of the same dealership.

Anyone going to UM later?

I am going there for a loose exhaust shield.. should be under warranty from last repair..

 

See if they can look at the fork oil, cone set and bearing to check on the wobble..

End of the day is usually not a good time to go to UM, especially since your wobble issue will need some trial and error and some test rides. The mechs are tired already end of the day.

Best time to go is early morning. They are fresh and energetic and eager to solve the issue as much as you are

 

Also the issue is unlikely to be Fork oil. If it is fork issue then the handlebar will bounce up and down at certain speeds. If the handlebar shakes left/right has to be tyres or steering cone.

[freeman_coolman]

ok.. then probably will just go there to fix the loose exhaust cover..

Probably Sat morning early slot for wobbling.. haha.. 9am..

[Strawberrydonut]

:smooch:guys care to share you monthly expenses on your pulsar?

 

coz im really curious on how savings this bike can get,

 

lemme get the ball rolling, ever since i started using my baby i only pump once a month,which can last me around 600 clicks average till reserve.

 

so full tank takes me to 25 bucks after discount 15litres capacity

 

petrol+season parking+occasional coupons = sets me off to around $50 per month :clap:

 

makes it the cheapest maintenance bike i ever owned,yay!

 

care to share anyone?

[Doomxxx]

You one month only ride 600km???

Me average usage 2000~2500km.

Change engine oil every month.

Plug every 12 month. Do plug cleaning/checking every 4 month.

Engine oil $10/month

Parking $17/month.

Average road tax+ insurance >> $25/month.

Wear and tear>>> tire/chain/sprocket...........maybe $20~

25/month.

[Doomxxx]

My distance is also same as yours, so my actual fixed monthly expenses:

$17 Season parking at HDB

$17 Season parking at Office

$25 for Petrol

$7 road tax & inspection prorated

$20 Insurance prorated

$41 Monthly depreciation of bike(Considering yearly depreciation of bike is $500)

 

Regarding bike maintenance:

 

EO change will last like 4-6 months if you put some good EO. I am using Motul 5100 semi synthetic. Tyres,Battery and chain sprockets will easily last for about 2 years from brand new. Spark plug about 1 year. So basically with our kind of mileage there isnt much regular maintenance cost. It only depends on the condition of the bike. If bike is in good condition then maintenance is very low. If condition is bad then you will have change this and that and it adds to the cost.

 

My bike is in Top condition so the maintenance costs are really negligible. Lets assume 20$ per month.

 

So the true monthly cost of my bike ownership is $150, not bad huh, compared to public transport. I also save lot of time and money because I come home for lunch and get to meet my family during lunch which is priceless
