We ran a news article a few days back on the launch of Pulsar 135LS in Indonesian market. We also speculated that the same changes would soon be heralded on the Indian version. And here we share with you the actual news about the refreshed model. Reacting to the market ethos, Bajaj has launched a refreshed model of their 4 valve pocket wonder, Pulsar 135LS, in the Indian market with the following changes.
1) Split Two piece Rear fender: The earlier iteration of the bike was equipped with a tire hugger cum mudguard which was functionally absolute but looked ugly which also impacted the, otherwise fantastic fresh looks of the bike. Bajaj was quick to catch on to the eyesore and the new model has a differently designed rear.
The rear fender is now composed of two split units with a little gap in between. The pointed inner unit, which is fastened to the chain cover, prevents the internal parts from mud where the curved outer unit prohibits water to spill over to the following vehicle. Apart from the functional part, this modification definitely gels well with the overall sharp looks of the bike.
2) Half Chain Cover: Apart from the rear mudguard, a full chain cover also spoiled the sporty looks of this bike. Bajaj has removed the full chain cover and in comes the sporty half chain cover to further highlight the sporty character of the bike. However, it also means more frequent cleaning of the chain.
3) O-Ring Chain: To reduce the impact of a naked chain exposed to dirt and dust, Bajaj has also changed the conventional chain which needs a lot of attention to the O-ring sealed chain which needs little care and has a better life span.
4) Re-designed saree guard: Conforming to the government regulations, the bike now comes with a redesigned saree guard to keep the theme flow.
5) All Black engine: The earlier version of Pulsar 135 came with a silver engine with rest of the theme as black including the cylinder head. The new version has an all black styling theme which has definitely enhanced the already gorgeous looks of the bike.
With the rear modifications and an all black theme, the bike has been provided with an extra tinge of sportiness which will definitely lure more buyers to Bajaj’s showrooms. Mostly cosmetic, these changes have ensured that Bajaj listens to the feedbacks provided by the customers. Further talking about the good part, despite these enhancements, price of the bike has not been raised and second; existing customers of Pulsar 135LS can go for most of the above mentioned modifications on their bikes. Rejoice!

The Black matte finish for the engine is nice, the handlebar, grab rails and the side panels could have been changed to black for more deadly look.
@Saad can the existing customers of Pulsar 135LS change the engine color to Black? Although it is just a paint job and it can be done in any paintshop, can they still make it in Bajaj?
why dont they change the headlight?
why are they yet to launch Pulsar 220 in Indonesia?
again some cosmatics!!
cosmetic change…open gap in fender will be a very bad during a rainy season…bike will get muddy from back and more over fender look very messy
too cool bike to drive….
the last line has made me a happy for the plp who hav P135..
u never knw wen bajaj changes its model…every 4-5months they do a cosmetic change…
bajaj designers r never happy with thr looks…
anywyaz these changes r to giv some competition to Dazzler i thnk..
Dazzler looks pathetic dude….
I called the bajaj auto service center to get details on how existing P135 customers can upgrade to the new look. But, I was suprised to hear that there is no such news on their side….I mean they didn’t know that some modifications were made.
Anyways, anyone has any idea on how much it will cost to get the new look minus the black engine color??.
Looks awesome man ,I had booked the bike last to last week cant wait for the delivery the bike.
Waiting for the call from my Dealer
I agree with the point,They should have Given a black color for handle bar also

All the features of Pulsar135LS are alright, but the chain needs to be covered , the back mudguard should be fully covered for the rainy season, otherwise the bike would need tremendous maintainance,and day to day headache for its chain’s and overall engine performance.
i d buy it in 3 mnths
roshi is right , the modifications r sporty but require alot of maintainance
I am planning to buy my first bike. Pulsar 135 looks cool bike. But after what happened to Bajaj XCD, I’m little confused to buy a new product from bajaj.
Hi,
I had purchased Pulsar 135 15 days earlier…. but my speedometer does not go beyond 50-60kmph. Even if i ride it in speed. Please suggest. Is there is any problem or is it same with other users also….or Bajaj companies lock the spped in new bikes??? I m really worried.
Please help and do revert.
Thanks in advance.
NO dude i am using this bike and my bike go upto 115 km/h
Actully there was some mistake in adjustment , which bajaj done it in first service….. but my bike run at 60-70 km/h speed and it start vibrating after this even in 5th gear… at wat RPM do u run ur bike in 115KM/h speed???? pls suggest…. thanks
And at first start it takes some time as it has automatic choke…. so no worry….RPM automatically increase to 4RPM at first start then it start as normal…..
Hi, I have this bike but i have some initial problem with this bike as its take some time for start. Is it same for alll the user or not ?? pls answer me
Yes ofcourse My Pulsar 135 LS is good looking in Red and Black.At 5000kms starting troubles started.At 8000kms both indicator lights failed . Then the silencer is shaking to produce bad sounds.At 10841 kms digital console stoped to act. Further more the narrow chain cover produces tin sounds and shaking. After 25 kms of distance, on a road back pain creapes to the biker. ofcourse Pulsar 135 is good.
