For many motorcycle buyers, reliability is a key factor; in India bikes can often be the main mode of transport. Because the Pulsar NS125 is a relatively new model, a lot of discussion surrounds its long term durability and maintenance requirements. A few owners have trouble free experiences and compliment the build quality of the bike and improved engineering of Bajaj. Some tell stories of recurring problems or problems with particular components. Frequency and cost of servicing emerge as a debate, accessibility to spare parts and how does the NS125 compare to other competitors in terms of lifespan. I also talk about how riding styles and maintenance habits affect bike reliability over time.
