Some experiences -- Me and Road-Runner (my bike)

My bike, Bajaj Pulsar 180 DTSI is a bike which has never disappoints me, it has done well beyond its so called role.
It has been great in traffic, on highways, on bad roads.
Clutch is not like typical bajaj clutches, no (thunk) noises when clutch is released.
Gearbox is not silent like unicorn, but better than other Bajaj bikes.
Acceleration is addictive, and top speed good, but not used much on our bad roads/highways.
Braking powerful for nearly all situations.
Tips for other P-180 riders:-
Check oil level after 2000kms if you ride heavily, and don't over-inflate tyres.
First two gears are short, so change them quickly if you are in a drag race, and then 3rd-4th-5th gears can be stretched more.
Using only rear brakes at high speeds can lock rear wheel so use both front and rear progressively.
To save fuel, stay in 40-50 in 5th gear, if you are going lower then 35-40 then stay in 4th gear.
That is all for now. Enjoy. Keep riding safe.
