- Vehicle speed - Km/Hr.
- Odometer - Kms covered.
- Resetting trip meter - for recording distance
covered in trip with resetting provision.
• Various Indicator Lamps Showing
Side indicators, Neutral position, High beam
‘ON’ & Side stand ‘ON’ indicator functioning.
How to Operate
• Put ‘ON’ ignition key. The battery voltage icon
on top will pop-up and will vanish away
automatically. All other will show static display
until the vehicle moves on road.

Protection Against Over Cranking
What is the benefit / advantage of having DC system?
Constant & Consistent high intensity current is available even at low engine rpm which gives
improved combustion & better startability.
No head light voltage fluctuations resulting into brighter head light illumination consistently. It is the
same existing battery i.e. MF battery (A low maintenance battery)
The main features of this MF battery are :-
• Electrolyte level checking is not required frequent.
• The unique vent mechanism provided that do not allow loss of electrolyte.
• No drain pipe unlike in conventional type battery so no chances of spillage of electrolyte.
Does DC system vehicle cost more in maintenance?
No. It is important to ensure Good health of Battery that's all ! Care should be that, adding extra
accessories will lead to faster draining of battery.
What is the warranty limit for this MF Battery?
The warranty for the MF battery is 18 months from the date of vehicle sold against any
manufacturing defect observed.
Why is there no Kick starter provision in Pulsar DTSi 180cc?
Normally sports bike having larger CC engine, do not have kick-starters for the reason that riders
footrest comes in the way of kick operation necessitating folding of the footrest etc. Even if battery is
discharged to the level of not able crank the engine through self start, Engine can be started by
push start. (Min voltage required for ignition system i.e. 7.8 V where as self start needs 11.5 V).
Since this vehicle is with DC lighting system, will it be having headlamp control unit?
No. It will have a BCU (Body Control Unit) as like earlier Pulsar DTSi.
Can the spoilers of New Pulsar DTSi be fitted on old Pulsar DTSi?
No, it is not possible as the mounting brackets for fixing the spoilers are welded on petrol tank at
precise location only.
Is the tube less tyre used in both Pulsar DTSi 150cc & Pulsar DTSi 180cc?
The tube less tyres are used only in Pulsar DTSi 180cc only.
What is a tubeless tyre & What are its advantages?
The name 'Tubeless' it self indicates that the tyre is without tube. In this tyre there is inner tube
which is a integral part of the tyre known as inner. The air is held between the rim & the tyre. The
air filling valve is fixed air tightly on wheel rim.
Advantages :
• Better fuel efficiency.
• Better heat dissipation.
• Less chance of damage in case of flat running.
• Slow air leak.
• No tube related problems.
• Cost saving on tube.
Is the tubeless tyre repairable if get punctured?
YES. Puncture of Tubeless tyres can be repaired locally. There are various methods like -
1. Filter Method
2. Plug (Mushroom) Method
3. Patch Method
But Bajaj Auto Limited recommends. Plug (Mushroom) method since it is more effective & safe.
