    i have no such specific point to fuel up , but still i think its only becaause of the carb.

          This is because of the fuel. Stick to one brand and one fuel point if possible. I had the same issue with my pulsar 150cc. The SA checked the complete bike nothing was wrong and another mechanic checking the fuel said it was adulterated. Drained the adulterated fuel completely and refilled it from a different pump and my issue was solved. Not all fuel pumps sell quality fuel.

            Yeah true,, i started using fuel from one outlet and the same brand all the time and i saw a remarkable outcome of mileage in my pulsar 150 DTSi...

                      btw....one thing is very prominent that the ground clearance seemed too low for me for Kolkata..man these pothole...or should I say big fat potholes may cause danger to your babe while riding..ride safe and very methodically as the silencer pipe and cat-con directly hits the ground
                      Read almost the whole thread and only at one point 'referred above' got some query on the low ground clearance issue due to placement of silencer pipe very down under, hardly 8" above the ground. Would it be suitable for drives in Ladakh or Sikkim region where we frequently have to cross high and low water streams besides slush, especially at Rohtang Pass ?

                      I sincerely had the inclination to buy it and, in fact, visited the dealer only yesterday at Sahibabad but deferred the decision to buy it for this reason only. I am more concerned with this low placement of silencer issue since I live in Ghaziabad and most of my rides are in the upper Himalayas.

                      I would like opinion of other bikers on this issue. If I can get some valid reasons for overlooking my worry, I will definitely purchase it since my daughter is pressing hard to go for it and I will take her to long rides, once I get it, if at all.

                      Looking forward to hearing on this issue from my learned friends.

                        well, I too had the same apprehensions. But I was assured by @surojit that, the under belly exhaust have never hampered the ride due to the ground clearance. Now, I can vouch that the guy has taken his bike to actual off-roads, and places which he didn't even knew existed.

                        U can find him from my friend list, and check out his previous picture posts to see what I mean.
                        For me, I have ridden on some bumpy roads in Kolkata, and till now have not faced such issue. Also MG sir, and @ Sateynpoojary had taken the test mules to Ladakh, and didn't report such problem.

                        • Till today, I had only one concern for the NS was about its lighting. Always doubted whether the 55w would be able to suffice to the eyes which was used to the P220. Well yesterday's night ride was good one. The lights surely are good if not better than those of the P220 projectors. The are much adequate for night riding. The light was enough for visibility in the rains and in the woods near the coast line.


                          Just forgot the mention, 3 people (including myself) nearly burnt fingers while touching the radiator and accidentally touching the exhaust pipe.
                          Rode for 384kms (just after taking it out of the show room) God this run-in requires some damn good patience.

                              It took nearly 30 years for Bajaj Auto to move from the ubiquitous Chetak scooter to the flashy Pulsar. However, today the Pune-based company doesn’t take that long a period to bring out a new brand. The company will soon become the first Indian company to not just manufacture but also to design and develop high performance bikes.

                              Rajiv Bajaj-led Bajaj Auto, India's second biggest motorcycle producer, will soon start developing 400 cc super bikes for Austrian bike maker KTM.Bajaj Auto, which holds 47 per cent equity in KTM, already manufactures Duke 125 cc and 200 cc models for KTM from the Chakan plant. Duke is sold in India as well as in Japan and Europe.Over the next two-three years Bajaj Auto will carry out all projects of KTM having engine capacities up to 400cc from scratch to final product. These include designing, styling, engineering, testing of engines and vehicles, most of which were hitherto done outside India.Speaking to Business Standard, Rajiv Bajaj, managing director of Bajaj Auto says: "We have plans to rapidly go up from the 125cc Duke not only in terms of engine capacity but also in terms of styling and designing. For the next couple of years, we have some very interesting designs on high-performance bikes lined up for introductions starting with early 2013.”Last year, Bajaj Auto started shipping made-in-India products of KTM back to its home market, Austria. The 125cc KTM Duke has also been selling in Japan since early this year, beating Yamaha India that ships R15 bikes, which are made in India, back to Japan.“Although there is no hard and fast rule, all the bikes (of KTM) which are planned for the next 2-3 years will be entirely developed at our R&D in Akurdi and they will be all be manufactured at our plant in Chakan. They will be sold in other parts of the world and India,” says Bajaj.Over the next two years, four or five new products of KTM will hit the Indian and international markets. These bikes are sold through select Bajaj sales outlets in India and by KTM in export markets.“There are various platforms and a twin cylinder platform under consideration. Essentially we have agreed that almost all KTM motorcycles up to 400cc will be designed and developed in India. That is why the 375cc (Pulsar) is also being done,” adds Bajaj.The new generation Pulsar 200NS shares its engine, the platform and a host of components with the KTM Duke 200. Both are manufactured from the same facility in Pune. However, both are priced differently in the market with the Pulsar being cheaper.As per the mutual agreement between Bajaj and KTM, the Indian company will restrict itself from entering the space above 400cc for the time being. However, Bajaj could revisit its strategies over time."We see ourselves in terms of relevance not to go too higher because then people won’t buy our products. So up to 400cc, we can build a market. As time passes, naturally we will have to recalibrate to the evolution of the market. KTM is already very strong in 990cc and above, which of course will be continued to be done out of Austria,” says Bajaj.While the super bike segment of 990cc and above remains with KTM, Bajaj is eyeing the segment a shade below -- bikes with engines between 400cc and 990cc. Bringing those beasts to India may be one hell of a ride.
