About the Bajaj Avenger 180

Overview

The Bajaj Avenger 180 is a cruiser motorcycle from Bajaj Auto. It has been discontinued. Mechiee still services it at your doorstep. Cruisers are built for relaxed riding, typically with a low seat, a laid-back posture and an engine that pulls from low revs. With a 178.6 cc engine it sits in the 150–250 cc class.

Engine and performance

Power comes from a 178.6 cc single-cylinder air-cooled carburetted engine that makes 16.5 hp at 8,000 rpm and 15.2 Nm of torque at 6,000 rpm.

Gearbox

Suspension is by telescopic forks at the front and 5-way adjustable, hydraulic shock absorbers at the rear. Braking is by a 260 mm disc at the front and a 180 mm drum at the rear. It rides on 17-inch front and 15-inch rear spoke wheels — 90/90-17 at the front and 130/90-15 at the rear.

Size, comfort and range

It weighs 154 kg ready to ride. The wheelbase is 1,475 mm. It carries 14 L of fuel.

Owning the Bajaj Avenger 180

Maintaining the Bajaj Avenger 180

  • Routine servicing

    Follow the schedule in the owner's manual for your exact variant and year. A regular service is the cheapest way to catch small problems before they become expensive ones.

  • Engine oil & filter

    Engine oil is the single most important consumable to keep fresh. Top up between services if the level drops, and change it on schedule.

  • Brake inspection

    With Single 260 mm disc and 180 mm Drum brakes, check pad or shoe wear, lever and pedal free play, and braking feel at every service.

  • Chain cleaning & lubrication

    A clean, correctly tensioned and lubricated chain lasts longer and wastes less power. Check slack regularly, especially after riding in rain or dust.

  • Air filter & spark plug

    A clogged air filter or worn spark plug shows up as hard starting, weak throttle response and poorer fuel economy. Both are checked at a regular service and replaced when worn.

  • Disc brake fluid

    Brake fluid absorbs moisture over time, which lowers its boiling point. Have its level and condition checked and change it on the interval in the owner's manual.

  • Tyre inspection

    This bike runs 90/90-17 / 130/90-15 tyres. Check pressure, tread depth and sidewalls, and replace tyres that are worn or cracked.

  • Battery & electricals

    Weak starting, dim lights or a flickering console are early signs the battery or charging system needs a look.
