Now that the much awaited Pulsar 135 is released by the Bajaj Boss, we had a chance to test drive it with the help of a local dealer to check its mileage.
Before I head into details, let me tell you few things about this latest charm. The first thing I noticed is the resemblance of the Pulsar logo on the tank with Pulsar 180. The looks from sideways are stunning except for the silencer which looks as if it was missing its tail, ending in the middle, much alike the XCD model.
The rear seat is heavily lifted from the wheel to give a sporty look with the same curvy shaped tail lamp that was a super hit with Bajaj bikes exists in this one too, albeit with a few modifications.
If there was one thing that was disappointing to see, in the exterior looks part, it should be the headlamp part. Bajaj 135 headlamp looks like a mixture of Yamaha G5 and Honda Unicorn. That circular head lamp of Bajaj pulsar 150 or 180 was badly missing here. At least the Discover type of head lamp would have been good 
Coming to the engine performance, unlike other bikes from Bajaj, this one has a 4 valve engine which tremendously betters the performance by distributing the power equally.
The patented DTS i technology adds to the performance of this beauty. The engine churns out 11.4Nm of torque at 7500 rpm and 13.5Ps of power at 9000 rpm compared to 13.0Nm of torque at 6500rpm and 13.5Ps of power at 8500 rpm for Pulsar 150, not much of a difference, isn’t it?
I drove Pulsar 135LS (Light Sports) for about 150kms in Delhi traffic with most of the drive being in the peak hours between 5 and 9pm. In this scenario, this charm gave a good 61kmpl, which was about 7kmpl lower than what Bajaj claimed it got during the ARAI tests.
If you are unsure how to check the Mileage exactly, refer to this method of testing Hyundai i10 Mileage. Car or bike, that method should give you precise mileage up to decimal points.
Considering the price of Pulsar 135LS being at Rs.51000 in Delhi, this one should definitely woo the enthusiasts.

which bike is best pulsar 135 or discover100 cc
My view is that Pulsar 135 is best
pulsar 135 is better than discover 100 cc
I bought Bajaj Pulsar 135 on March 2010. Till now i have noticed any problem with the bike. Important thing in this Bike is its lite weight, giving good mileage and stylish look. Till now i have not bared any maitainence cost
So don’t think and go for Bajaj Pulsar 135
dude,,,can u tell about the milage ??….i like pulsar 135 for its stylish look and design
I’m getting 50 to 55 kmpl in Cochin city. This is a stylish, sporty and powerful bike in an affordable price compared to same segment. Good for city ride.
hey harsha
if it is lite in weight then it will start shaking with increse in speed……….. isnt it?

Hi Sriraj,
I planned to buy Pulsar 135ls, but people are saying that the engine gets overheated after few days. Please share your idea on the same.
waiting for your reply to make my decision on buying 135ls.
Thanks in advace.
I never heard any one saying so. I would assume it to be limited to ‘those peoples’ bikes and their riding style. If there was any thing wrong with the engine itself, there would have been a word or two from Bajaj by now.
Also, we can’t speculate on Rumor’s. If you know any one who said so, attempt to experience it first hand.
The world is full of competition, just take that into consideration.
Thank you
@ sriraj : Hello , I have also heard about bajaj bike problems. I do not have any experience but my friend who uses discover and pulsar 150 are facing the problem with engine and silencer. He has changed his silencer. also I saw many people pushing their pulsar in rain due to engine off. But nobody complains about hero honda, honda machines. Why is it so ? Actually I am planning to buy pulsar 135.
Also, yesterdays incident : I went to bajaj showroom where two guys came who had purchased pulsar 135 two days back they were complaining that engine was getting off. I am totally confused… Is honda shine better choice ?
I think go with Karizma.Bcoz my frnd Changed abt 24 bikes at last he bought KARIZMA and he told me that no other bikes can come near Karizma.About 2 yrs he had no problem in Karizma.
BUT THE 1LY THING IS, IT COST EXPENSIVE………………..
hey guys i want white pulsur:-):-) because i love white colour if company will realise white colour pulsur 135 really i will take it

Hi.. I m going to buy either a Pulsar 135LS or a CB Twister or a CB Dazzler within a few days. Please suggest which one should I go for giving out reasons for the same. Price is not an issue. I would prefer a sporty and stylish look as well as minimum maintenance costs in the long run.
Kindly reply at the earliest. Thanks in advance.
You should by the pulsur135. because this bike give u mileage minimum 55 kmpl . i can say that because i have pulsur135.

Hey if you have 3 bikes in option…then you should opt for honda dazzler as it giving a tough competition to yamaha fz…it has a better features than pulsar 135 undoubtedly…dazzler’s on road price is just 61,000..
i am planning buy a Discover 150cc R Pulsar 135. Please suggest me which is the best.

I’ve used Pulsar 135LS and Honda Shine for about 2 months. Pulsar is more in:
1.Style
2.Smoothness
3.Power more than 150cc unicorn
4.Comfort
5.Weight
6.Mileage
7.Number of Gears i.e. 5
8.Valves (Only bike with 4 valves in world)
9. Both Self start + Kick Start.
10. Has separate pass switch.
11. About Rs.10000/- more than Shine
Shine comes with 4 gears, 2 valves, 110cc, No digital meter,No pass switch, No guards, No number plates. Foot rests are fixed adding to uncomfortability and is so light like cycle. Has only Kick start. Has more mileage than Pulsar.
In short if you can spend 10000/- more than Pulsar is best.
hi guys i want a help from u i m offering a brand new pulsar 135 cc at Rs 2000 but in this u have to introduce more 4 member and as well as u introduce ur member u will get on the spot a bike do u think this concept will work pls reply me

Hello Sriraj,
Could you answer my question in previous post???
Hi, I have p135LS bike, I have a confusion on the full tank fuel filling, I went to filling station immedialty after taking the delivery of bike from showroom. I told to make full tank, he filled around 13.5 ltrs, the show room guy told one ltr petrol is there in the tank , totally 14.5 ltrs filled in the tank . But Bajaj specified that full tank 8 ltrs, reserve 2.5ltrs in this 1.6ltrs usable. Please can anybody clarify this how can it possible to fill 14.5 ltrs. In this situation how to know what is amount of fuel for full tank.
Advacne thanks for anybody’s reply
–Venkat
What I get from this is that, when the showroom person told you that the bike already had a litre of fuel in it, he meant to say that the litre was a part of the ‘usable reserve fuel’. So when you reached the petrol station (assuming that is a bit far away from the showroom) there was almost no usable fuel in the tank, apart from the choke fuel.
So now, the tank can have 8+at least 1 litre of reserve fuel which is 9 litres. But the guy at fuel station is said to have filled 13.5 litres, which is intriguing.
Just complete this round of fuel and check it with any other fuel station, may be? You know where I am heading.
Hi Venkat, the capacity of the tank is in fact that much. But, you should fill only upto 8 litres, as the rest is for air. So, don’t fill that much fuel next time.
Hi,
Sriraj and prashant thanks for ur comments..
As sriraj explained, for testing the mileage we need to fill the tank full and go for ride and again fill full tank. check how much fuel is taken for it and calculate mileage. But here we dont know when tank is full. In that case how to make sure tank is full, since there is no proper indiaction for full tank
thanks in advance for comments
pulsr-135 is a good 2 whlr..here r my few opinion,that i m sharing with all of u my frnds;;;;;;
1. dont use frequently the “CLUTCH” . minimum usege of CLUTCH will increase milege.
2. use appropriate gear.never do the half clatch to get pick up in low gear.
3. always try to ride in top gear,dont change down a gear,until the bike knocks.
3. use kick start instead of self.dont pull the choke button so easily.
4. maitain standard air presure.
5. while stoped,turn ur bike without making ignition.
6. the most economic zone is 45 to 55 km/hr. so try for this.
7. use good quality of engine oil(castrol),never compromise for few saving.
8. make ur carboretor clean. (in fi engines,check the cooling oil.)
9. make ur chain and all the piniums lubricated.for guardless chain use the chain spray regulerly.
10.always turn off ur oil supply key after a ride. (for fi engines,do not start the fuel pump by switching the key “on” into the key hole.)
i request every veiwers having bike,plz follow the avobe 10 rules,only for 1 month,and see the diference of ur bikes performance and milege. plz reply me everybody.
hi DIBAKAR NATH….

Did you have a look at the new Discover 150cc from Bajaj? It’s price is about the same as Discover 135cc and surely more powerful than it.
it seems to be 60 but hopping for 50
bajaj not continue any model more than 2-3 years why?????????????????????????
they won’t like to have flop model bikes

I am very confused with cb twister and pulsar 135 ls …. Any one suggest me good one …And price of pulsar 135
tvs apache is the best bike of the year so buy the apathe rtr 160
i bought pulsar 135 cc on 21.03.2010 . now i got millage is very low only 45kmpl . what can i do to get the millage please give me the information sriraj.
I guess the first service is just around the corner, or is it over?
Any way, you should only start to check the mileage once you bike clocks at least 800 kms.
I had purchased pulsar 135 bike on 13th Jan 2010. at starting i got 50kmpl after i decreases t0 45+. but now i am getting 65+…. performance of this bike is good… and gives sporty look… but i not satisfied with back side mud guard, .it decreases the beauty of this bike .. i like pulsar 135 bike more…….
I agree with vijay, The only drawback of this bike is its cr@ppy mudguard…
Read this post on Bajaj Pulsar 135 Mileage and Myths
That should answer your question.
change the engine or informe to the showroom where you have brought or buy apache rtr 160
Awesome look.. Stylish..I Like Pulsar 135.. Can anyone confirm me about the mileage & performance of the bike on Chennai road..
my bike is very nice. i am very like my bike. and my friend is also like this my bike.good look & stayle.Awesome look.. Stylish..I Like Pulsar 135.. Can anyone confirm me about the mileage & performance of the bike on Chennai road..HI EVERYBODY, NO NEED TO THINK ABOUT OTHER BIKES. PULSAR135 IS THE BEST BIKE CONSIDERING PICK-UP & MILEAGE. THINK FIRST ABOUT THE SPECIFICATIONS. ITS A 4-VALVE DTS-I ENGINE, WILL GIVE VERY GOOD PERFORMANCE. ACTUALLY I THOUGHT TO BUY HEROHONDA BIKE (SPLENDER) AS IT GIVES 60+ MILEAGE. BUT IT IS ONLY 100CC WITH 4 GEARS WITH THE COST EQUAL TO PULSAR 135 ONLY. SO WHY TO GO FOR HERO HONDA? 100% ITS BETTER TO OPT FOR PULAR ONLY. SOMEBODY SAYS THAT BAJAJ BIKES ARE WASTE,DUE TO REPAIRS. MAY BE, BUT NOT IN THE CASE OF PULSAR (150 OR 180). THE PERSON WHO DRIVEN THE PULSAR WILL KNOW HOW IT WILL BE. SO WE CAN BELIEVE PULSAR
i have used my pulsar 135 for 500km and it is giving 50kmpl which i found but as i drove aorund 40kmh (not exceeded) so i expect even better performance after next 200km.
it is very nice bike both from looks and comfort and pickup is also nice.
i used in 100km on ECR road and rest at kalpakkam.you can take 100km in traffic.so you judge the performance.
one more thing i would like to add that people are getting 60kmph for pulsar 135LS
what will be milaeage in pulser 135cc……………
its mialage is only 50 per kilo meter
ya bbike looks good but lack on power i wont think it would satisfy those who love speeed.
you r correct……but when you want STYLISH and GOOD PERFORMANCE you will not choose anything except pulsar 135.it is around Rs.14000 less than pulsar 150 and 180 and Rs.14000 is good amount.
second in 135 series there no bike which can comptete pulsar135 becasuse its look is very sporty.
if you want to race then for 200 or 220 cc and THEN BHROOM BHROOM go fast faster fastest
it is best bike . but performance is not bad.but not satisfy
I wana buy pulsar 135 in blue… Wil bajaj bring pulsar 135 in blue colour…? Am a fan of bajaj pulsar… I love pulsar…
pulser 135ls,bikes looks is good,pick up great, mailage is aboue 55kmpl,but i didnt like front head lamp, it is a copyed from the yamaha FZ,and fuel tank is like xcd,totaly bike is too great, i love pulser 135,
Hi I Have Baught a new pulser 135cc bike Millage is 53Km
Hi I Have Baught a new pulser 135cc bike Millage is 50+Km.Is there something wrong?
Not necessarily. Just wait for it to get along with you for some time, may be up to first service and then check mileage again.
there is no problem it depends on observing ….next time you fill your tank..drive nicely and then again observe
hi….bajaj i’m happy to choose pulser 135cc but
i have not conform what a milage plz to send exact milage
buy hama bajaj
its a stylish bike, but engine is getting over heated
I have bought pulsar 135 in jan 2010, back look is not good every thing is fine but even i am agree engine is getting over heated very shortly..
hii who ever rode 150 cc bike can u tell what’s the power of the 150cc pulsar……..!
the bike 135 cc is stylish but 180 cc is better than than than 135cc …i don’t care about mileage………..
hi.. every body .. 4 valve engine is a good thing… but bajaj not yet guaranteed for their engine performance.. as compare.. to Honda groups.. after 3 years or.. maximum of 20000 km…engine losts its ability…
great look,mileage is upto 58 km in city ,
Pulsur pick up nice good milage
Hey,,,,anyone say to our tn roads capacity for 135
bajaj pulsar ka milage kitna hai.
and honda shine
Pulsur great look style
the bike model is nice.but how it can give the mileage????????????????????
I heard from the owners of p135, that the mileage is excellent above 60 and looks are stylish and sexy. My perception is, going for p135 over HH splendor, passion is a great idea. Bajaj would have had blue in p135. Then p135 will surely eat all pulsar brothers.I drove p135 which my friends, it gave 58 on chennai roads at office times and its greatly depends on the efficiency of the riders.Expecting blue in p135.
Sriraj, can u tell me that is it possible for us to get p135 in blue going forward.
Do bajaj have any idea about this. Bcoz most of the people like to drive pulsars which is in blue. It looks sexy, stylish and slightly professional.I like blue pulsar. I love pulsars. Great idea to attract youngsters who is mad about racing.
GOOD MOVE BAJAJ.
hi friends, i wanted to by buy discover 100 bcs of milege & price but i liked pulsar 135 also so which bike is better in milege & look. this will be the my first bike, which bike should i buy my priority is for discover 100 but wht abt 135 ls wht u think friends which is better? pls suggest me.
if you want stylish look then go for pulsar any 135,150or 180.
discover 100 cc is around Rs.49000 and pulsar 135 Rs.60500,p-150 Rs 7300 and p-180 Rs.74500(aproximated values but there will not be much differenece) .discover 100cc will give good milage no doubt but it will not give stylish look specially when you are in friends company….p-135 is also giving good milage and look now you can decide.
In which colours the pulsar 135 is available???????????
HI EVERYBODY, NO NEED TO THINK ABOUT OTHER BIKES. PULSAR135 IS THE BEST BIKE CONSIDERING PICK-UP & MILEAGE. THINK FIRST ABOUT THE SPECIFICATIONS. ITS A 4-VALVE DTS-I ENGINE, WILL GIVE VERY GOOD PERFORMANCE. ACTUALLY I THOUGHT TO BUY HEROHONDA BIKE (SPLENDER) AS IT GIVES 60+ MILEAGE.

MAY BE, BUT NOT IN THE CASE OF PULSAR (150 OR 180). THE PERSON WHO DRIVEN THE PULSAR WILL KNOW HOW IT WILL BE. SO WE CAN BELIEVE PULSAR.
Good Look and very style….
I have aimed Apache 160 FI,but my dad showed Pulsar 135,I am fulfilled with all the qualities that I like on Apache in Pulsar 135.All things are good, people will not cross without seeing my bike, I got red colour, with red stripes in wheels.
Hi Guys,
Those who have bought the bike and riding on roads, let me know hows the pickup and power in the bike?
Can tell the exact mileage on chennai roads??????
Ok with color, pick up and mileage, iam planning to get a new pulsar baby.I like the appearence and looks of pulsar baby 135cc. Only the cylincer and rear mudguard looks are not up to the mark. I dont know much about bikes. having this kind of cylincer and mudguard is a new fashion???
Ohh, no. It isn’t a fashion. It really is looking odd.
superman is also wearing underwear on pant……..but depends on time just wait for some time and you will see people will like the same look of pulsar-135 and even other companies will also do the same experiments when they will see the market grip of pulsar-135
what is the milage of pulsar 135cc and 150cc? and price with all taxes on the road?
pulsar 135___60kms per lt,pulsar 150___55kms……after 1st service
i wait the time for the 135cc pulsar because i am wait good mileage of pulsar and thats come in only 51000

But all of these I was not enaugh about its perfomance that has only 125cc and 4 gears. After all here I heared about the PULSOR 135 that has a good milage,cc and 5 gears. NOW I MISS THAT SO!
hi i want to purchase a bike i can afford amt of 60,000 thinking to bajaj pulsar 135 or honda shine but pulsar is newly released so can u kindly help me out o a suggest a bike for me with mileage of 50 per litre
bring pulsar 135…

my mileage is of above 70. at speed of 50km/hr.
i m sure u will like it….
i waana buy a bike in 135 cata. so which bike sd i tk which gives mileage as well as riding comfort..
how many mileage pulsar 135cc, 135LS both, new bike. plz give me mileage my id.
hello sriraj,
I am confusing in choosing bajaj 135cc or honda shine 125cc..
i want style as well as mileage bike..
can i believe that pulsar 135cc LS will give above 55 in city roads..
honda will surely give 55 in city roads…
so can you please tell me whether the pulsar 135cc will at least 55kmpl on city roads or not..
Where do you stay?
We drove in Delhi and got 61kmpl. In any way, you should get a minimum mileage between 55 and 60.
Also you should consider the service availability of both Bajaj(which is present in almost every other street) and Honda (only at few centres in a big city)
hi Sriraj
I am in the same situation like Shekhar. I felt pick up of pulsar 135 is not as good as shine 125 however it is awesome in looks and style. Please give your remarks on this.
I think it will blast the market of other money reliable bikes.
Thanks for the quick test. I too didn’t like the front headlight shape but that mileage is far better to than my hero honda glamour that hardly gives 45kmpl. I am buying pulsar 135 soon
Way to go Roshan.
dude don’t buy, the engine is getting over heated and after some days it will look like luna. bhai apne paise barbat mat kar
and how luna few months..? will it look like pulsar 135..?
I was just seeing discover 100cc and test drive yesterday.Now pulsar 135 price is only slightly more than that.I’ll buy pulsar 135cc only.Mileage of 61 is very good for me.
I think you should go for Pulsar 135 over Discover 100
pulser 135cc mileage is great
