Complaint by: Rajendra on July 9, 2010, 1:05 pm in Cars Parts and Vehicles

Hi,

I purchased Bajaj Pulsar 150 DTS-I on 31/12/2008 under the impression that bajaj bikes are the best. I also had a bajaj pulsar (using it for more than 4 years) earlier so when I wanted to change my bike as I was re-located to a new city, I again went for bajaj pulsar without looking for any other option.

This time I am sorry to say that I have a very bad experience of this bike. I skidded twice in this 1.5 years and the tires wobble a lot. So even if you are driving on a dry sunny day, bike dis-balances automatically and if you not cautious you may fall down.

I cannot drive more than 40-45 kmph due to fear of any mishap. The bike runs normally and suddenly it wobbles which is very dangerous when it is raining. I personally experienced this.

First time when it skidded, I was driving damn slow at around 15-20 kmph and it skidded. The other day it was raining and I was driving, suddenly the tyre wobbled and the bike shaked up dangerously though I was driving very slowly and was able to control. This was the story about 15 days back.

I went to service center in fugewadi and told this problem as I just serviced the bike a couple of days earlier to this incident. The person took a test drive and told that there is a problem with the tyre which is present in my bike (EUROGRIP). He also showed me number of other complaints that were already registered with him having the same problem.

He took my complaint and told me come when he will give a call as the guy from the tyre comes after every 10 days or so.

After this I searched on the net and found that there are number of people experiencing the same problem. All models of pulsar having EUROGRIP tyres have issue of wobble and skidding. Just type eurogrip tyres in google and press search button. The first link that comes is your address www.consumercomplaints.in/.../bajaj-pulsur-150-c124987.html telling Bajaj pulsur 150- Complaints - tyre issue
Could you please suggest me what can I do? Now knowing about the tyre problem I will not take the risk of having repaired/replaced EUROGRIP tyre.

I want it to be replaced with MRF tyres (I didn’t faced this problem with my older pulsar having MRF tyres) which were present in earlier versions. Can you please look into the matter and try to resolve the issue soon.

Regards,
Rajendra

मैंने विक्रांत v15 खरीदी थी jun 2016 में। आज मेरी गाड़ी के पिछले टायर में समस्या आ गयी है। टायर बीच में कई जगह से फूल गया है। जब मैंने एजेंसी पर सम्पर्क किया तो उन्होंने कहा की मुझे टायर बदलने के लिए पैसे देने पड़ेंगे जबकि टायर अभी वारण्टी में है। मैं जानना चाहता हु की क्या कम्पनी का कोई ऐसा नियम है?

I had purchased Baja v15 in April 16, After 8 mont's back tyre creates a big problem likes swelling so bike bubbling on drive time.
But Salasar Service Center, Bajaj Auto Bhiwandi write letter to EUROGRIP tyer company. and then Tyer Deller Replace to new tyer

EUROGRIP tyre is bogus tyer company

All Bajaj bikes take CEAT tyer. CEAT Tyer is the Best For Bike

I am having Pulsar 220F with Eurogrip tyre. How it can be skidded at 20kmph speed? Its really funny to hear this. Only learners will complaint like this. I have good experience with this tyre. After 57658km usage, now only i am going to change my bike tyre. I purchased my bike 3 years back and this is first set tyres going to replace. I never skidded (even at 128kmph), this is worth than anyothers.
