Pulsar 150 Engine Noise: Normal vs. Error?

Bhai, agar aapke paas Bajaj Pulsar 150 hai ya aap ek used Pulsar khareedne ki soch rahe hain, toh ek cheez aapko sabse zyada pareshaan karegi—Engine Noise.

Kai baar humein lagta hai ki engine kharab ho gaya hai, jabki wo sirf ek minor adjustment maang raha hota hai. Aaj main aapko bataunga ki kaunsi awaaz "Normal" hai aur kaunsi "Danger" sign.

1. The "Jharr-Jharr" / Rattling Sound

Ye sabse common awaaz hai jo Pulsar 150 mein 5,000 se 10,000 km ke beech aati hai. Asliyat: Ye awaaz aapki Timing Chain dhili hone ki wajah se aati hai. Solution: Aksar sirf timing chain tensioner adjust karwane se ye theek ho jati hai. Agar chain zyada purani hai, toh usey badalna hi behtar hai. Kharcha? Mushkil se ₹500-₹800.

2. The "Tuk-Tuk" / Clicking Sound

Jab engine start hota hai, toh cylinder head se ek rhythmic "Tuk-Tuk" ki awaaz aati hai. Asliyat: Ye Tappets/Valves ki awaaz hai. Normal Kab Hai? Agar subah cold start par halki awaaz aaye aur 2-3 minute baad kam ho jaye, toh ye normal hai. Error Kab Hai? Agar garam engine par bhi ye awaaz tez aa rahi hai, toh aapko mechanic se tappet clearance set karwani chahiye. Loose tappets se mileage gir jati hai aur performance kam ho jati hai.

3. Metallic Knocking (The Big Warning)

Ye deep, bhari "thud-thud" awaaz hai jo engine ke beech (crankcase) se aati hai. Asliyat: Ye Crankshaft ya Connecting Rod mein play hone ki nishani hai. Warning: Agar aap used bike dekh rahe hain aur ye awaaz aa rahi hai, toh DUR RAHO. Ye ₹15,000 tak ka bada kharcha hai aur iska matlab hai ki bike ko rough chalaya gaya hai ya oil time par nahi badla gaya.

Conclusion

Pulsar 150 ek "Workhorse" hai, par iska sound track aapko bahut kuch bata sakta hai. Agli baar jab aap mechanic ke paas jayein, toh usey confuse mat hone dein. Aapko pata hona chahiye ki engine noise normal hai ya nahi.

Safe riding!
