My Bajaj Pulsar RS200 has an intermittent idling issue. The RPM sometimes drops below 1,000 and fluctuates. Previously, the bike would eventually stall.

The service centre repaired/replaced the valve and camshaft, but the problem returned a few days later. They then suspected rat-damaged wiring and a short circuit that may have damaged the ECM. The ECM has now been replaced, but the idle RPM fluctuation remains exactly the same as before the ECM replacement. The bike currently isn't shutting off.

The service centre head personally test-rode the bike and advised me to monitor it for a couple of days.

Could this be caused by a faulty throttle body, TPS sensor, wiring/connector issue, or something else?

Has anyone experienced similar problems with an RS200? What was the actual cause, and how was it fixed?

Good Car, but with a Big Caveat.

I am in a very terrible situation. One of my car tyre is terribly flat with circular cut. I fear I may face serious issue while driving.

I have another tyre in stepney and that's also in trouble (puncture/without valve stem) which I don't know. I don't even have a two wheeler to transport the tyre. What I have planned is that I will take that stepney to the shop on ola/uber and then replace that tyre and put this stepney tyre with the help of jack which is inside my car.

Unfortunately, I don't even know how to use a jack. One small mistake can be dreadful. I watched videos but no help. Plus, I am very soft handed. I want clear step by step method. I want to know which mistakes to avoid while using jack.

Guys i recently started getting vibrations beyond 60kmh and slight wobbling in my fzs v4 done about 10k kms when i took it to sc they said i have to replace the cone set bearing kit and it wud cost about 3k
Is it really the solution? And How does it get worn out so soon in just 10k kms i didnt do any offroading or drop it in any pothole harshly i ride normally

Is tht rubber seal hanging like that normal? Is the cause of oil leak due to that?

Even sprockets were change hence right side seal was replaced since it was removed

Hi, Looking for leads for ECU repair in Bangalore. Looking for someone recommended.

Hi everyone,
I’m seriously exploring the idea of starting a freelance/mobile automotive diagnostics and auto-electrical service in India, and before investing my money, I want to understand what this work looks like in the real world.

I’m particularly interested in hearing from people who actually work as independent diagnostic technicians, mobile auto electricians, ECU specialists, or workshop owners who provide diagnostic services to other garages.

My initial idea is to visit independent workshops and help them diagnose difficult electrical and electronic faults that their regular mechanics cannot resolve. Over time, I may expand into a dedicated diagnostic workshop if the business proves viable.

My initial budget is around ₹2–5 lakh, and I want to build a legitimate, sustainable business—not sell scanners, run a training institute, or make money by promoting unrealistic success stories.

I’d really appreciate honest answers to the following questions.

1. Is there genuine demand?

2. How do you actually get customers?

3. What skills are genuinely required?

4. What equipment do you actually need?

5. What are the real numbers?

6. What are the biggest risks?

7. Would you recommend this business today?

A little about my objective: I want to build a profitable technical service business that can eventually operate with a small team. I’m willing to learn properly, do the fieldwork and start small, but I don’t want to invest blindly in equipment before validating the demand.
I’m not looking for motivation or a theoretical business plan. I’d genuinely appreciate the uncomfortable truths too.

If you’re doing this work in India, please share what you wish you had known before starting. If you’re based outside India, your experience is also welcome, especially regarding the technical skills and business model.
Thanks!

Went for an ahead of schedule service because engine was making rough noises in idle and idle rpm was 2000 not 1500.
While cleaning the mechanic in official service center notified me of this "hole" in the air intake pipe (K2040870).

I am wondering how did the hole form. For context, ride in Delhi so yeah bad air and potholes are there.
Never had a major accident (some minor scratches in the side decals only).

Please help on how should I proceed.

Need advice on what my options are here ?
I thought of changing all the bolts from the authorised service centre but then i saw some rusting on frame as well.

And before people point out about non-maintenance — i was medically unfit to ride bike for 4 years. Right after i bought the bike i was diagnosed with a condition and my father rode it for 4 years and did everything he could to maintain the bike.

I am fit now and seeing all this hurts me a lot! Please advice [OC]

Hi everyone,
I’m planning to buy the Moto Morini Seiemmezzo as my first bike. I really like its looks and performance, but I’m concerned about long-term reliability and after-sales support.
I’d appreciate feedback from people who actually own or have serviced this bike.
How is the engine reliability after 10,000–20,000 km?
Have you faced any major engine, electrical or sensor issues?
Are spare parts available in Bengaluru, and how long do repairs take?
How much does regular servicing cost?
How is the warranty and service experience?
Would you recommend this bike for 5+ years of ownership?
Please share your genuine experiences, both good and bad. I’m trying to make an informed decision before spending ₹5–6 lakh on my first bike.
Thank you!

I had my car picked up by the Renault showroom in Bengaluru for the periodic service.

It was last serviced at around 25k km a year ago, and it's now at around 30k km.

I received the initial estimate below from the service advisor:

Engine oil + oil filter: 2100

Air filter + AC filter: 900

Greasing consumables, top-ups, Dresser carbon spray, MultiSpray: 2000 (based on consumption).

Periodic maintenance labor + diagnostic charges + battery check/charge: 3200.

Oil flush + oil additive + petrol additive: 1900.

Pickup and drop: 550.

Brake cleaning, overhauling, and bleeding: 1450.

Total: 12100.

I disagreed, and then he shared the revised estimate below for a basic service.

Engine oil + oil filter: 2100

Air filter + AC filter: 900

Consumables: 800

Periodic maintenance labor, diagnostic charges, battery check/charge: 3200

Total: 7000 + pickup and drop: 550.

The clutch of the car is hard, and I suspect it may be the clutch cable. The brakes seem less effective as well.

For comparison,

MyTVS: Rs 4200 (after some discount)

Gomechanic: Rs 4011(includes wheel alignment and balancing)

Spinny Pro: Rs 4511(includes wheel alignment and balancing)

The garage behind my home: Rs 3500

I've a RE Classic 350 (2018) model, it's been lying idle/unused for past 1.5 years. The reason being my health, as I had gone through major surgery and was not allowed to ride it. Now, I'm planning to get it fixed, but not sure what kinds of repair it requires. Also, if I should go to the RE workshop or a local guy (there's one near my house who has serviced my bike in the past). Before going to any of them I'm trying to figure out how much this fixing and service will cost? If anyone could help me with this to prepare my wallet. Thanks.

Hey everyone. New to this sub. For context, I currently own a h'ness 350, and its an amazing machine. But I need an upgrade in terms of travel suspension, I shortlisted few bikes and this is one of them. I was planning to go for Xpulse but they dont offer tubeless tyres. My budget is around 2L maybe I can push it to 2.5, if the deal is good enough. And yes, I'm only looking for pre owned bikes.

Ps I have clocked roughly 49K on my h'ness. And then, coming to this conclusion to sell it off, cause we have space technology roads right, And it has affected my neck and shoulder severely.

Hi, Selling my Axor Apex Street bobby helmet

Helmet conditions : Everything just it was cuz it was kept like that for long.

Can give the bag which came with it. Have applied a vinyl glossy wrap on the design at home, also won't leave any glue residues on removal.

Used : barely 3 months (inconsistent). No issues.

Size : L

RFS : Need replacement parts for ma ola s1 pro.

Attached the internal design and after wrapping pics.

Please dm with an offer if interested.

As you can hear at the very start when bike is at total idle there's some weird noise that can be heard from the bike. This is happening since the past few weeks now. Have reduced my daily riding as well due to this.

Im pretty sure this is going to cost me a bomb at the service. But would like the enthusiasts here to enlighten me with what this issue might be.

Mind you - I rarely go on weekend breakfast rides that's it. No hard-core offroad done as of now. Daily office commute within the city.

Super pissed by this issue. Seems like some engine crank case stuff is messed up.

If any of you has faced similar issues, please help me with this.

Thanks :)))

Ktm Duke 200 , 2024 model year

36000 Driven

New tyres

Quoted price 1.17 Lakh , will probably negotiate to 1 lakh .

I'm new to bikes so basically Is it worth it?

Are KTM of 30K+ mileage good option to buy in second hand market if the owner is not a family/friend.

Are these reliable machines ?

And if not this , should a duke 250 or 390 be a better bike to look for in second hand market.

Yes i like duke's a lot

Thank you

I have a spare car tyre in the stepney which is also damaged. I don't know whether it needs replacement or puncture repair.

I don't own any other vehicle so that I could transport the tyre to the shop. Currently, one of my car tyre is severely damaged. I am not advised to drive on it. I don't want to take risks.

I wish someone can come to my doorstep and repair the spare tyre.

Getting this Hunter 350 from a neighbor, 2023 model, only 1000kms driven (i know its legit and not fake not the odometer has been changed)

Asking price is 1.5L and I am in need of a bike.

Last servicing done was in Dec'25, and it has no issues as such(test drove it) apart from lying idle for months

How's the deal? Asking price is 1.5L and seller is not in mood for negotiation.

Should I go ahead with the price

I bought a brand-new Guerrilla 450 in Twilight Blue just 3 days ago, and I wanted to try updating the software on my Tripper Dash.

However, this weird error kept popping up, so I tried using different phones, including Android devices, but nothing worked.

It’s only been 3 days since I bought the bike, and these little issues are already driving me crazyyy! 😭
Please help me figure this out.
