Re: NS200 mileage problem & can't drive in traffic on low rpm

please state the exact RPM you mean by low RPM. For someone who always lugs the engine, 5k RPM can be high and for someone who rips the engine, 5k RPM can be low. So please specify the RPM.

KMs done??

for me, lower rpm = 1st, 2nd, 3rd gear

i had stunner 125cc. it was smooth in first 3 gears as well. but 200ns, i don't feel comfortable on first 3 gears. the bike vibrates a lot on first 3 gears
kms done : 50k

50k KMs is definitely the time to change the chain and sprockets.

1st, 2nd and 3rd are gears; not RPM. RPM is mentioned like 3k, 5k. The NS lacks bottom end torque and demands to be kept above 4k RPM.

Do all 200ns lack smoothness at 1,2, 3 gears?

Bro.... You are confusing the gears and RPM.

The RPM is seem from the tachometer seen in the middle of the speedo console.

The NS is definitely not a bike known for its smoothness.

I know that bro, bottom line, 200ns isn't quite a city/traffic friendly machine.

Re: NS200 mileage problem & can't drive in traffic on low rpm

I am guessing you got a problem your bike to be specific.
I own a 2012 200NS.

1. By how much numbers the mileage would decrease if the bike was driven without coolant?

Mileage is a constant 32 to 35 KMPL under city conditions. I drove without coolant for a couple of months. But still no huge difference.

2. My chain is rubbing with something and making noise while rotating. Is this in all NS200 bikes?

Chain slack. Tighten the chain. There is a rubber pad on the swing arm when the chain touches the swing arm. Check its condition and change it if required.

3. I simply can't ride peacefully in traffic as the engine shuts off at low speed in 1st gear and roars immediately in 2nd gear when pulled a bit. Thus simply can't find sweet spot to walk through traffic slowly.

I had the low speed engine shutoff issue. I adjusted the RPM and is sorted now. Check your air filter. That might be the issue.

4. Does older 2013 version 200NS gives lesser mileage than new bs4 version?

No idea about BS4 ones but mine used to give me a healthy 35KMPL even when twisted the wrist. Mileage dropped with age and also tyre upsize.

5. Can your NS200 walk through traffic in 3rd gear?

No. It does not have enough torque to pull up from lower speeds. But depends on the speed also. About 20KMPH, it can.

6. I am riding the bike with worn out tyres. By how much numbers it would affect mileage?

Mileage might increase but at the risk of poor grip, braking. Loss of control. Never recommended.

7. The fuel level indicator drops from 3 points to 2 points to 1 point to 0 point very quickly. I suspect I am getting 29kmpl from my recent calculation. Is this mileage normal?

29KMPL is OK for the condition of the bike as assessing from above. But get the engine and other important parts checked from the service center.

Only rubber or full chain sprocket set change?

Also my bike can't touch even 40kmph in 1st gear. why so?

Check for the condition of the chain sprocket set first. Change if required. Or else changing the rubber pad should do. And also check for chain slack.

Looks like you are expecting too much from a single cylinder 200cc mill. You can pull the bike to 40 in the first gear, but that would put tremendous pressure on the engine and you'll end up totaling it. Mind that this is not a RE with insane torque to pull you from first. Always ride sensibly. And I don't see a reason why you want to ride at 40 KMPH in first gear itself. Unless you are drag racing.

I have seen videos of Ns200 going at 52 kmph in first gear

Dude ! Its a video. They test the limits. That doesn't mean you can ride at 52KMPH in first gear all day long. Sure you can pull the bike like a drag race but don't keep it as a habit. You'll destroy your engine. And forget about mileage.

To sum it up, its your bike.

I don't want to drive it all day long.
I know it will destroy my engine.
I am saying if their bike can touch 52, why not mine?
What should I replace in my bike to achieve that?

A minimum of
1. Cool/cold weather
2. Lack of opposing winds
3. Tire pressure up to mark and tires warmed up.
4. Chain slack in check with un-worn sprockets
5. Clean air filter
6. Clean carb
7. Fresh oil
8. Valve clearances in check
9. Just enough fuel
10. Light weight rider.

Here I have to leave bike for 1 day. How would I check if they have done it properly?

Well, trust. At most you can look up the valve clearances yourself in owners' manual and request them to strictly use a feeler gauge to set the same.
Else, getting them tools and DIY is the only way to go.
