The Pulsar 150 DTS-i went back for a tune-up this month. In spite of her going through the rigours of a full fledged service the last month she was still not performing up to the mark. Pick up and acceleration was poor, starting off from traffic lights. I even had to drag the clutch on several occasions to get her rolling. Early morning cold starts are also turning out to be more problematic, even more so since it does get quite cool early in the mornings now that winter is just round the corner. The electric starter just can’t seem to get the engine cranked up and I have to resort to kick-starting it, not that it’s a bad practise but this keeps happening every time I leave her idle for more than an hour. Nevertheless getting my hands on her after the tune-up, she does show loads of improvement. Acceleration is brisk without her faltering, cold morning starts are still finicky though this I now think is purely because of the season. Fuel efficiency too is now up to the mark, spacing my trips to the fuel stations to a week plus.
