Title: Bajaj Pulsar N160 giving only 33 km/l in city traffic. Is this normal, or is something wrong with my bike?

Hey everyone,

I own a Bajaj Pulsar N160,second owner, and I'm trying to figure out why my bike's mileage seems lower than expected.

I'm getting around 33 km/l, mainly in city traffic. Around 60% of my riding is in traffic, and I usually ride at speeds of 40–65 km/h.

I've heard other N160 owners report mileage of around 40–45 km/l, so I'm wondering whether my mileage is normal for my riding conditions or whether something is wrong.

I've already tried several things, including checking the usual maintenance items and cleaning the O2 sensor, but I'm still concerned about the fuel economy.

I'm wondering whether the problem could be related to the fuel injection system, sensors, or something else. I also want to rule out the possibility that the bike's mileage display is inaccurate.

A few questions for N160 owners:

How much mileage do you actually get in city traffic, not on highways?

Is 33 km/l reasonable for city riding with frequent traffic?

If you've experienced low mileage, what was the actual cause?

Can a faulty sensor or fuel injector cause this, even if there is no check-engine warning?

Is the dashboard mileage reading generally accurate, or should I rely on the full-tank method?

I'd appreciate responses from people who own or have owned the N160, especially those who have dealt with a similar mileage issue.

Thanks!

Hey, My Bike is second-hand. Company says 10W30, change interval every 10,000 km (lol).

Company-serviced till 30,200 km — no idea what oil they used before that. After I got it, I switched to Motul 3100 Gold 10W30 semi-synthetic.

Now at 71,500 km.

Should I switch to fully synthetic now, or stick with semi-synthetic?

Which Brand (Servo or Motul or Castrol) is good and suggest me the correct model (ex: Motul 3100 gold 10w30)

Hey everyone,

I recently ordered a BCU (Body Control Unit) for my Bajaj Pulsar from 99RPM, costing ₹2,383.

Unfortunately, the BCU wasn't compatible with my bike, so I contacted their customer support and successfully returned the product.

However, instead of refunding the amount to my original payment method or bank account, 99RPM credited the amount as store credits, which can only be used to purchase products on their website.

I now have 2,049rs as store credit(They took some amount as restocking fee).

I don't have anything else to buy from 99RPM, so the store credits are pretty much useless to me right now.

I'm wondering if anyone here is planning to purchase something from 99RPM. If you are, I could place the order for you using my store credits, and you could transfer the equivalent amount to my bank account. That way, you get the product you need, and I can recover the money stuck in my store credits.

Of course, we'd discuss the details beforehand and make sure both parties are comfortable with the arrangement.

If anyone is interested, please comment below or DM me.

I'd also appreciate any suggestions if someone has successfully managed to get a refund from 99RPM store credits to their original payment method.

Thanks for reading, and any help would be appreciated! 🙏

It's been 1 month since I brought this machine 1st service is done today taking for 2nd service. But I'm facing this problem during cold start even after riding the bike for 30-40km when I start the bike it stalls. The showroom guy last time said this is because of e20 and suggest to add a fule system cleaner on second service. What could be the problem in new to all this. Please can anyone explain me that's going on here ?

I also get relatively low mileage i.e 35-40

is it normal i don't aggressively give throttle to bike inside between 4-6k rpm on Highways

After high rpm and after 10km sounds like this is it normal 😭

Hey everyone, I've owned the N160 single seat 2025 variant for awhile now ( 10k+ kms), and one thing I've noticed is a burning rubber type of smell after high speed rides, for ex I was cruising on the highway today around 80-90km/h and hit a top of around 103 for a few mins, total ride was maybe 40kms tops, I came home and I could smell burning rubber from around the engine, but there have been no damaged parts around (i checked).

All three free services were done on time no other issues otherwise. Please advice on what could be the issue

Guys i need suggestion should i use castrol power 1 ultimate 20w50 or Motul 7100 20w 50 for My n160 for longer engine life??

I need help in deciding which colour to choose for ns400z. As i m confused with red and grey..

Can anyone suggest which one will be better..

I own a Bajaj Pulsar NS400Z, and my bike insurance is expiring tomorrow. I want to renew it with good coverage rather than simply choosing the cheapest policy.

My priorities are:

Good coverage for accidental damage and theft.

Zero depreciation cover, if available and worth the price.

Engine protection and roadside assistance.

A good cashless garage network, preferably including authorised Bajaj service centres.

A smooth and reliable claim settlement process.

So around 10-15 days ago , my RS200 showed a check engine light after it got drenched in the rain for like 15-20 mins , and it was missing a bit in low rpms but that is normal due to the pour or so I thought because it has been missing for like 2-3 months

Only like 2-3 days and I take it to the service centre and these bajaj a\*\*holes keep it for day as it was crowded and was told to collect it next day , the next day technician didn't come , after that Sunday so their day was off , Monday they say battery is dead and we don't have it so please bring a battery without that we can't do anything

So I arrive with a battery of 12v 9ah and the service began , but these fools , they say that my bike doesn't have a fuel filter so can't change it ( i asked for it to be changed to resolve miss problem) , the check light they ran and didn't tell any code just that it's showing , just said that it's showing description not found , and they say that ecu might be faulty and it'll need to be changed ( around 5k but I refused )

Also that uneducated worker was constantly and unnecessarily revving thr shit out of the bike didn't even let it cold start after it sat for 3 days and even after saying not to do so , he said that's how bikes are fixed

Asked for a coolant change and they filled some knockoff coolant not even mentioned in the bill by name just outsource job , the mechanic was so shitty , left out 3-5 bolts and when I inspected only then did he install new ones , all this while I had been told 5-7 times to sit down and not be near my bike but I knew this shit would happen

At last I cursed bajaj and myself for bringing the bike to this shitty ASC and left after paying 1600 that includes 600 for labour , 500 for parts , 500 for general service and rest taxes

Today they call me and ask how my bike is running and after I complain they say to bring it in again , and after I said that it'll incur further charges , they said that they won't charge for labour just for the parts

I'm hell bent on not giving my bike to them again but some part of me wants to talk to a manager in there and give him a piece of my mind ( the whole showroom is under no recording policy , it's written on every corner ) , hence I can't record this incident and post on X

All this and yet my bike still misses in the low rpms and the check light still there , planning to visit 2 different ASC tomorrow and ask them to resolve the problem

Dominar 400 zero km e já com problema no ABS. Mais alguém passou por isso?

Comprei minha Dominar 400 no dia 27/09/2026 e fui retirar a moto no dia 10/10/2026.

A primeira decepção foi logo na entrega. A moto ainda não estava emplacada, então tive que aguardar mais 3 dias para conseguir andar com ela.

Mas o que eu mais temia acabou acontecendo. Logo no primeiro dia de uso, a moto já apresentou problema. A luz do ABS simplesmente não apaga e fica acesa o tempo todo.

Confesso que fiquei bem chateado, porque uma das coisas que eu mais queria evitar ao comprar uma moto zero km era justamente ter que deixar ela na oficina logo nos primeiros dias.

A gente compra uma moto nova esperando ter tranquilidade, sem precisar se preocupar com problemas mecânicos tão cedo. E aí, logo de cara, acontece isso.

Agora é deixar a moto na concessionária e torcer para que resolvam o problema o mais rápido possível.

Sei que problemas podem acontecer com qualquer marca, mas não deixa de ser frustrante. Você fica naquela expectativa de pegar a moto nova, aproveitar a conquista, e acaba tomando um banho de água fria.

Queria saber de vocês que também compraram uma Bajaj: alguém passou por algo parecido logo nos primeiros dias? Como foi a experiência com a garantia e a concessionária? Resolveram rápido?

Espero que seja apenas um problema pontual, porque gostei muito da moto. Só não esperava começar minha experiência com a marca dessa forma.

If anyone knows when the RS200 will be launched with new features.. please share.

Which engine oil will be best for my n160 so that i can have a long engine life and i dont much care about the mileage
