Re: Pulsar 200 NS Owners Review and Experiences

Now that all of you have managed to scare me to the core, can you tell me if replacing the rear tyre will be sufficient or both tyres need to be replaced? Cheers.

Both tyres.
You'd find a phenomenal change in cornering and handling with a sticky front tyre and good improvement in traction and as a contributing factor to handling with a sticky rear.

Re: Pulsar 200 NS Owners Review and Experiences

Hey guys!
I'm facing some serious problems with my bike.
The gear gets jammed regularly, it doesn't shift from 4'th to 3'rd most of the times (6 out of 10 times), I've to shift up to 5'th and come down from there.
This was happening since the first day, though it wasn't nearly as frequent as it is now.

After the first service, it started getting jammed in 6'th gear as well. I've ridden around 700 kms since 1'st service and this has happened twice.
When it gets jammed in 6'th it's really difficult to get it moving again.
I've complained about this more times than I can remember but the service sucks. The last time ( 4 days back) i got it checked the SVC mechanic apparently changed the clutch gasket cover, but the problem still exists(no improvement whatsoever).
Has anyone else faced this problem? Any help would be appreciated.

ODO reading = 1400
No mods
Service center visited = RV bajaj main showroom (Mysore road, Bangalore)
Don't know if this is relevant,
I did follow the run-in procedure till 1000 kms (did not push it past 60 except for a couple of occasions where I took it up to 80), after 1000, I've tried to maintain the speed under 85 (I've taken it past 110 twice though ). For the most part I ride under 60.

I'll be taking it to Khivraj motors (Kasturba road) this weekend.
Thanks

Re: Pulsar 200 NS Owners Review and Experiences

Close to 5k kms on odo. No problems till now. Will put a review/opinion soon so that new potential buyers can get an idea. Although I am happy with the bike. I have some querry.

After riding for even 10 kms when I stop the rpm needle hovers above 2.2k rpm and after a few seconds it comes back to below 1700~1800 rpm. Previously it used to happen only in heavy traffic. Now it happens very frequently. It happens everytime I ride with a pillion.
My engine oil (dtsi-10000) is 2k kms old, could it be the reason or am I running a bit lean? Or is it normal.

Just to confirm, the noise is not due to vibration around the console part, right?

No. It only appears when i pull the accelerator.
Otherwise in Idle, its totally fine.

Re: Pulsar 200 NS Owners Review and Experiences

I am using Michelin pilot sporty in front and Michelin pilot street for back 130/70/17 stock size thou its an radial it's a little heavy, done 2k kms on it and it performs like a breeze on wet dry and mud terrains, it doesn't lock up at all, its requires alot of effort to lock them, grippy as hell and corners are a piece of cake! Just floats in corners and there's not a moment you feel you lossing grip, I am yet to know the life span of it but 2 people I know used it for 28k kms so 20k wouldn't be bad. I can vouch for it being the best alternative to stock. Fyi I haven't tried att 230r and don't trust tvs products at all! I would prefer Michelin over tvs any day!

Re: Pulsar 200 NS Owners Review and Experiences

I ran the stock tyres for 22k kms and after that switched to TVS ATT 230 130-70/17.
The grip is superb on dry grip. Don't know about wet.
Cost me 2.7k inc fitting.
Will post a pic soon.

Re: Pulsar 200 NS Owners Review and Experiences

A Noob question, how can a tyre affect whether the wheel gets locked or not? I always thought that it's the brakes that make a wheel lock, not tyres?

Re: Pulsar 200 NS Owners Review and Experiences

Just to explain the concept let me take an example. You have with you an eraser and a freshly bitten & used chewing gum. I dont have to explain which is softer. Try to drag each material on a piece of wood. The chewing gum adamantly sticks to the piece of wood while you can keep dragging the eraser. If you suppose the eraser is the eurogrip and the chewing gum is the michelin, and the dragging is comparable to locking & skidding, i hope it makes it clear how softer compound tyres are more resistant to locking and help you come to a stop much earlier than harder ones.

Really good answer mate !!

I also want to ask if anyone has tried to install wider rear tyre than the 130 section..?

Re: Pulsar 200 NS Owners Review and Experiences

But then soft compound tyres are more prone to puncture too?

Re: Pulsar 200 NS Owners Review and Experiences

I am also looking for a replacement as rear tyre skids whenever i apply rear brake. What is the cost for this setup ? My bike is 3k on odo.

Re: Pulsar 200 NS Owners Review and Experiences

Ahh thanks for the explanation.
