What makes the Bajaj Platina 100 appear to have more engine problems than other 100cc bikes?
For budget riders, the Bajaj Platina 100 is a popular choice, but many have worries about engine reliability. According to some owners, even with relatively low mileage, they experience problems such as black smoke, starting problems and unexpected power loss. That has fueled debates about whether Bajaj's emphasis on fuel efficiency has been at the cost of engine durability. Are these problems widespread, or isolated cases? Are the design flaws built into the system or is it simply a matter of poor maintenance? Let’s see what Platina owners have to say and see if these engine issues are really as bad as people make them out to be.
I've had my Platina for 3 years and only had a slight oil leak. Most problems are due to neglect and regular maintenance is key.
