Pulsar 150 Service Schedule & KM List: 2nd, 3rd, 4th Service

The Pulsar 150 has been a fixture on Pune’s roads for two decades, and the question owners ask most often is simply when the next service is due. This guide lays out the complete km list from the 1st service onward, what each one covers, and what it costs.

Quick answer: 1st service 500–750 km · 2nd 5,000 km · 3rd 10,000 km · 4th 15,000 km · 5th 20,000 km · then every 5,000 km. First two free under warranty.

Pulsar 150 Service Schedule — Complete KM List

Service	KM Milestone	Time	Cost
1st Service	500 – 750 km	1 month	Free (Bajaj warranty)
2nd Service	5,000 km	6 months	Free (Bajaj warranty)
3rd Service	10,000 km	12 months	Paid — from ₹999
4th Service	15,000 km	18 months	Paid — from ₹999
5th Service	20,000 km	24 months	Paid — from ₹999
Subsequent	Every 5,000 km	Every 6 months	Paid — from ₹999

Whichever comes first. Each milestone is km or time. A Pulsar 150 that has covered only 3,000 km in six months still needs its 2nd service — oil degrades on the calendar as much as on the odometer.

Bajaj applies this same schedule to the Pulsar 125 and the rest of the air-cooled range.

What Happens at Each Service

1st Service — 500 to 750 km

The running-in service, and the most important one the bike will have. Piston rings and bearings have just bedded in, and the first oil is carrying the fine metal particles that process produces. Leaving it in circulates that debris.

Includes oil change, bolt tightening as the frame and engine settle, chain slack adjustment, brake free-play check, clutch cable adjustment, idle setting and full inspection. Free at Bajaj — use it.

2nd Service — 5,000 km

Second free service, full general service. Oil change with 20W-50, air filter cleaning, spark plug inspection and gap check, chain cleaning and lubrication, brake shoe and pad inspection, electrical check, throttle response check.

3rd Service — 10,000 km

First paid service. General service plus air filter replacement if cleaning no longer works, chain and sprocket wear measurement, brake pad thickness check, and full electrical diagnostic including charging voltage.

4th Service — 15,000 km

Drivetrain focus. This is typically where the chain and sprocket set reaches the end of its adjustment range, and where brake shoes or pads worn past their limit get replaced. Spark plug replacement is common here.

5th Service — 20,000 km

First major service. Comprehensive inspection across engine, drivetrain, brakes, electrical and suspension, with air filter replacement, likely chain kit replacement, brake service, battery health test and all cables checked and lubricated.

Oil Change — Don’t Wait 5,000 km in Pune

Engine oil capacity: approximately 1 litre. Grade: 20W-50, API SL or higher, JASO MA2.

Riding pattern	Recommended oil change
Daily city commuting (heavy traffic)	Every 4,000 km
Mixed city and highway	Every 4,500 – 5,000 km
Mostly open road	Every 5,000 km
Low usage (under 2,000 km/year)	At least once every 12 months

Air cooling depends on movement. The Pulsar 150 sheds heat through its cylinder fins, which requires airflow. Stationary at a signal the engine produces heat with nothing removing it, so oil temperature climbs and stays high. An hour in Pune traffic ages oil more than an hour on the expressway while covering far less distance.

Short trips trap moisture. Condensation forms in the crankcase as the engine cools. Long rides boil it off; short commutes do not. Through the monsoon that water accumulates and forms acids that attack bearings.

JASO MA2 matters. The wet clutch runs in engine oil. Friction modifiers found in car oils cause clutch slip — revs rise without matching acceleration, commonly misdiagnosed as worn clutch plates.

Bajaj Centre vs Doorstep

Bajaj authorised centre: the 1st and 2nd services (free under warranty), warranty claims, recall work.

Doorstep service: every paid service from the 3rd onward, standalone oil changes, and any time you cannot spare half a day at a service centre. After the free services are used, there is no warranty reason to visit a centre.

Common Pulsar 150 Issues in Pune

Chain noise and stretch. Pune’s dust plus monsoon water strips chain lubricant fast. Clean and lubricate every 500 km rather than waiting for a service — it substantially extends chain kit life.

Mileage dropping. Usually a clogged air filter, degraded oil, or under-inflated tyres. All three are inexpensive to fix and all three tend to get left until a service.

Hard starting after monsoon. Moisture in the electricals and a weakened battery. Have battery health and charging voltage checked — see our battery replacement service.

Clutch slipping. On older Pulsars this is often genuine plate wear, but check the oil first — the wrong oil grade or a non-JASO oil produces identical symptoms.
