Lo que los compradores deben saber
Bulletproof air-cooled engine
The 149cc DTS-i twin-spark motor is famously durable, often crossing 80,000–100,000 km with just regular oil changes and valve clearance checks. Parts are cheap and available at almost any roadside mechanic in India.
Watch the rear suspension
Rear Nitrox shock absorbers commonly weaken or leak around 25,000–30,000 km, causing a bouncy ride. Also check for a noisy clutch basket, rusted silencer and worn cone-set bearings, which are typical complaints on this generation.
Strong, predictable resale
The Pulsar 150 holds roughly 55–65% of its value after three years thanks to huge demand in the used commuter market. The 2018–2019 models with ABS/CBS and the twin-disc 'Neon' variants fetch a noticeable premium over earlier drum-brake bikes.
