    Bajaj Pulsar 200NS to get Fuel Injection?: xBhp News

    Our sources have indicated that the successful Bajaj Pulsar 200 NS might be getting a Fi version in the near future.



    The Fi version is set to be launched first for the export market, only after that will it be seen on Indian roads. This will be a step in the right direction, but will also increase the price of the Pulsar 200NS substantially.

    The Bajaj Pulsar 200 NS was launched in January 2012. It has so far received a good response in a two-wheeler market that is slowing down. This bike made waves because of its perimeter frame, Liquid cooled engine, 3 spark plugs, tubeless tyres and a compact exhaust. The two things missing on a premium bike, were Fuel Injection and ABS. Now Bajaj is planning to go the Fi way.

    Would the Indian biker want Fuel Injection and ABS on their 200NS and what premium should such added features cost?
    708
    ABS Only
    8.76%
    62
    Fi Only
    17.37%
    123
    ABS + FI
    63.84%
    452
    I like it just the way it is (No upgrade needed)
    3.53%
    25
    All of the above as options
    6.50%
    46

        Yes absolutely FI and ABS should be one of the features! Infact I feel ABS should be mandatory

          @ Sunil - Is it possible for you to add a poll on top of the thread page

          1) NS+ABS+Fi
          2) NS+Fi

          Very good initiative by Bajaj.

            This is a step in the right direction, if the ABS & FI as sold as ADD - ON (Factory fitted obviously) then there surely will be takers for both the options. I too feel that ABS should slowly be made mandatory on bikes above a certain power band in India.

              ABS yes... however Fi from Bajaj is something that I am not confident personally.... I would be glad if they can prove me wrong with a very nice Fi system which is reliable just like the japanese makes...

                NS needs FI....it needs rich fuelling at lower rpm...and from mid and above, with lean we get economy and performance together....And for these change of fuelling in different powerbands, it needs FI....With FI nothing can beat NS....You won't be able find a negative then.....

                Anyway, IMO we want ABS more than FI...

                  yes, ABS and FI are welcome features, but if the price is increased by more than 15-20,000, then it will impact sales, otherwise it should be available as an option.

                    Pls guys don't forget fairing. We are fairing starved guys. make a multiselect poll like this -
                    What would you choose according to your budget (considering ~10k more for Fi, ~11k more for ABS, ~8k more for fairing)
                    1) Current NS
                    NS + following
                    2) Fi
                    3) ABS
                    4) Fairing
                    5) Fi + ABS
                    6) Fi + Fairing
                    7) ABS + Fairing
                    8) Fi + ABS + Fairing

                    Its about buying Fi I think as most company do on their bikes. I think only only Honda make their own Fi. Others buy it. Bajaj should buy it from Bosch rather than Delphi. KTM does it. Not sure about Yamaha.

                      ABS is my choice...provided cheap and great... Due to some selfish reasons of mine i don't want FI version to sell much in India.

                      By the way I feel FI version will be launching around 4th quarter of 2k13, if it does launch in India.

                      The day i heard of Duke 390 and 200 will be launching with abs, I decided that i will be putting it my ns asap, though it's not that easily possible...

                        ABS is always welcome, FI is not really a concern, but why not if it comes with improved power figures & crisp throttle response and without jerky response in low rpm range!

                          If this news is true, then I can easily guess the next upgrade which would be P200 NS with bigger carburetor and may be with Squarely placed spark plugs (4 spark plus will further improve combustion efficiency and give even power bump of 2PS)

                            I wouldn't mind a thing as long as the bit in bold happens effectively making it more powerful than the Duke AND the CBR250R

                            Anyways, added a poll as per popular demand.

                            Fairing bit was not added because then it wouldn't remain a N(aked)S(ports) motorcycle.

                            Dispensing it is a way of fishing the past from the disposal, wiping it off, painting over the ugly parts and recycling it for more than it's worth.

                              Fairings are pointless on a bike this slow. It would be a waste of money, and would substantially increase the repair and insurance costs. Fairings aren't just cosmetic; they're actually intended to improve the aerodynamics of the motorcycle, at the expense of good cooling and cheap repairs. However, since the NS (along with nearly every other Desi bike) will spend more than 90% of its life at under 70km/h, speeds at which a fairing provides no benefit, such an addition becomes superfluous. All you'd see are much higher costs for repairs after the inevitable tip-overs, plus added stress to the motor which would no longer be getting adequate cooling airflow.

                              I think adding FI to the bike, however, is an excellent idea. Then Bajaj can scrap that stupid 3-plug head casting and go back to a single plug. Dumping that expensive piece should more than make up for the added cost of switching to FI (though they'll still be out the cost of developing the molding, at least they can reduce the cost by using the head casting from the big-brother Duke).
