Pulsar 150 Swing Arm Bajaj Genuine Parts

About this product

The swingarm on a Bajaj Pulsar is an important component of the rear suspension system, connecting the rear wheel to the frame of the motorcycle. It’s responsible for allowing the rear wheel to move up and down as the suspension absorbs bumps and shocks from the road. The swingarm helps maintain the bike’s stability and ensures a smooth ride by keeping the rear wheel in proper alignment with the rest of the bike.

Key Features of a Swingarm on Bajaj Pulsar:

1. Material: Swingarms on Pulsar bikes are generally made from lightweight yet strong materials such as steel or aluminum, with aluminum being more common on higher-end models (like the Pulsar NS and RS series).
2. Design:
   • The swingarm is designed in a “mono” configuration for most Pulsar models, meaning it has a single, solid arm extending from the frame to the rear wheel.
   • Some models might feature an aluminum twin-spar or box-type design, which offers good balance between strength and weight reduction.
3. Suspension Linkage: The rear shock absorber (suspension) is usually mounted directly to the swingarm, with the design optimized for the specific model of the Pulsar, providing a balance between performance and comfort.
4. Maintenance:
   • Swingarms are generally low-maintenance, but over time, the bearings and linkages may require checking and lubrication to ensure smooth movement.
   • If damaged (such as from a crash or excessive wear), replacing the swingarm may be necessary to maintain bike stability and safety.
5. Replacement:
   • If you need to replace the swingarm on your Pulsar (for example, if it’s cracked or bent), it is crucial to find a compatible part specific to your Pulsar variant (Pulsar 150, 180, 200NS, etc.) for proper fitment and handling.
6. Upgrades: Some riders look to upgrade their swingarm for better handling or aesthetics. Aftermarket swingarms might be available, offering options like extended arms for improved handling or even custom aluminum units for weight savings.
