Excellent review MG, rated the thread a well deserved 5 stars

I was not comparing r15 with pulsar but i was talking about riding pleasure which according to crankpin a pulsar cannot give. Riding pleasure means whether a bike can deliver for which it is designed or not ? These type of hypothetical assumptions "pulsars lack riding pleasure" can mislead others who have never driven any bike.

i am not looking for the lap times..i am looking at the quality and confidence and sharpness and stability of the handling package...its no brainer that the power advantage of the ns will leave the r15 eat dust but how exactly is the confidence and poise... Its just like the cbr250 is faster than a r15 but the r15 handles better... I hope you understand what i am trying to say

experts please help !

When I start and put first gear and the time I release clutch it shuts !!
idling is proper.. engine never shuts on neutral.. but whenever I am in first or in second gear it happens.. please guide.

We don't have vbox setup to check the roll on figures.

The front nuber plate are fitted at an angle so they will not scrape the front mudguard even on hard braking. Been there done that.

Yes it has been tested in a similar way

I have certain idea but not sure about what is coming so no point writing anything as of now.

Thanks a lot man for the appreciation. When you have lived with a bike for so long then no point giving a regular ride review and hence the effort of putting something different.

When you are filling the coolant from the cap end open the other end of the radiator. Let the coolant fill till the time it oozes out from the other end. This ensures that all the air inside the radiator is now out and there are no air pockets inside the radiator.

I'm no pro in cornering but I could carry more speeds in NS over R15 both while entering and exiting a corner in Lavasa. I repeat handling is the best thing in this bike and rest everything comes after that.

Mileage figure is given in the review. Please go through it one more time.

It is a street machines which performs other duties pretty well. Don't expect it to be an out an out offroader. The bike is not made for that.

Are you trying to blip the throttle while putting it in gear? If no then get your CO and idling checked. It will be fine after that.

I don't quite understand what you are trying to tell, if the engine is shutting of while clutch lever is held, clutch might need adjustments otherwise you are not giving enough throttle OR Idle is set to very low (OR you are a newbie rider)

Some stunning pics in here and nicely penned-down review.

If you ask me, this one looks so much better than the KTM. Would have loved the KTM Motor in this mould. The crease/lines are just perfect.

I never rev to high.. but Please explain I am dumb..

No after releasing clutch..
not newbie but yes I am riding after six years..
but meanwhile it never happened with any other bike.. I have bullet too..

Super, thanks for that brother, I had a hard time keeping it under wraps and not clicking and uploading photos of the 'secret'!

Just get your idling and CO checked. It will be fine after that.

:-)

Thanks bro !! Ok.. I will do that on first servicing..
I don't know technical language much
I know I am sounding dumb but what is CO ??

@MG sir - as we all know that ns will also come in a faired avatar , does faired version look leaps and bounds ahead of ns or its just like p200+fairing=p220 ?
when is the faired version expected to launch ? how much would be the price difference ?
would there be any changes on its engine specs ?

"CO" stands for "Carbon Monoxide".

Carbon Monoxide is a by product of the combustion of petrol and comes out of the exhaust.
Carburetor/Fi tuning is done by taking the reading of the amount of "CO" Gas that comes out of the exhaust gas.

hmmnn... i would also love to know the answers.
BUT i know mods will brilliantly skip this.
STILL its a requet plz give us an indication of what to expect and when...approximately.

Really
Does that mean that like DUKE, NS can also run on the water logged streets Please confirm.


Thanks for the clarification.
Another question regarding coolant replacement.
Can we top up the coolant of a new brand without draining out the old brand? Or do we have to do it like the engine oil change(draining out the existing one, and topping up with the new brand.
