I currently own a previous-generation 2026 Pulsar 150 Twin Disc. The new model comes with updated switchgear that includes a hazard light switch. Is it possible to install the new switchgear with the hazard switch on my bike? What could potentially go wrong with such an upgrade? For context, my bike is only two months old and has covered around 1,000km.
You cannot change the switchgear on an old-gen Bajaj Pulsar 150 to the latest 2026 version because the bikes use different displays, wiring harnesses, and the switches themselves are different too. We'd recommend not tampering with an electrical component on a brand new bike because if something goes wrong, it could cause a cascading effect on other functions of the bike too. Your nearest authorised Bajaj service centre should be able to guide you on how to proceed if you must have this feature on your bike.
I’m planning to buy a motorcycle for the first time. Please suggest a suitable option based on my requirements. My main priorities are safety and comfort. I’ll mostly ride in villages and cities, with occasional highway rides. I’m 5'4" tall and weigh 45 kg. My budget is around Rs 1.5 lakh. I would also prefer a bike with a single-seat setup, as I’ll be carrying my parents as pillion riders.
Given your requirements, commuter bikes like the Honda Unicorn, Bajaj Pulsar 150, and Yamaha FZ would be our recommendation. These have low and flat single-piece seats, good suspension comfort, and will also be quite fuel-efficient. Take a test ride of all three before you make your decision.
I’m looking for a bike around 1.8 to 2.8 L with very good suspension for back pain. My driving every day will be 1 hr to 1.5 hr one way, which is 2-3 hrs in total. 60% high way and 40% city, with lots of school traffic. I just moved from the US, and these roads are giving me back pain. I’m looking for more comfort with seats, suspension and ride posture.
Moving up from a Pulsar 150, you should check out the 350cc Bajaj Dominar 400, which will feel more substantial and comfortable, not to mention head and shoulders above when it comes to performance. Since your ride has a lot of highway stretches, a machine that can cruise comfortably at higher speeds while keeping you comfortable will be a good bet.If you want to look at the adventure bike space, consider the Hero Xpulse 210 and TVS Apache RTX 300. The Xpulse is lighter, which will make it easier to manage at slower speeds, and its smaller engine will also be more fuel efficient. On the other hand, the RTX has a more powerful engine capable of delivering more performance and its seating comfort is better than the Xpulse. Do bear in mind that both of these are tall bikes and will require some skill to manage if you're a shorter person.If, instead, you want a neo-retro machine, then consider proven options like the Honda CB350 models and Royal Enfield Classic / Bullet 350. These are relaxed and comfortable machines with torquey engines, which will be suitable for long commutes. When ridden sensibly, they also return good fuel economy. These bikes are all very different from one another, and to accurately gauge which is the best one for you, take a test ride of all before you make your decision.
