    see in both second and third service, the time is same from the date of purchase so this doubts me.
    It looks like it's a misprint on the new batches. The showroom actually overwrote the 240 with 120 in my owner's manual. Maybe someone with a booklet from the old batch could clarify.

    Yep, they are guaranteed to give you the thrills as well as the spills if you are not careful.

      140/60-R17, the one found stock on yamaha fz/fazer will give you a lower height than the eurogrip. So you'll have better acceleration and lesser top speed. Expect your engine to be slightly stressed out on highways since rpm per speed will be more. For example, 7k rpm 6th gear might equate to 99 km/h instead of 103 (wild guess, but this effect will be seen for sure). I'm not too sure of any gains while cornering but many FZ users rate the tyre down when it comes to grip. I still say, STICK TO STOCK unless all you want are looks.

      Edit: If a tyre has the rating X / Y - (R)Z, height is calculated as (Y * X)/100 in mm. Lower height than stock always translates to better acceleration and lower top speed; increased height means vice versa. The R, if mentioned, stands for 'radial tyre' specification. The Z stands for diameter of the rim in inches. AFAIK the bikes we see in India come with 17 inch wheels except the royal enfields which come with 18 inchers. This gives our bikes a brickload of tyre options.

        near-death experience lol +1 to that :P
        according to what i have experienced on stock eurogrips is that in short runs the tyers dont have grip at all but on long trips that tyres have preformed well ..
        i think stock tyres need a bit of time to warm up attain better grip levels (in my opinion ...correct me if i am wrong..)

          I am experiencing harsh vibrations on seat beyond 8000 rpm and its really annoying. Anyone else facing the same ? My bike is 3200 km run and vibes were not that harsh when i was using DTSI oil, it started after i switched to moutul 5100 t.
          I am loving my NS

            guess it's a printing mistake..like Maraque said, it might be 120 days for 2nd service and 240 days for 3rd service....

            have been thinking about upgrading the tyre size and then remove the rear hugger, just for the look of the bike and have a friend who changed to 140/70 which looks great on NS...one thing he said is that, after upgrading, he began to feel the weight of the tyre on rear, just bcoz of the meatier size of it...but it's negligible when compared to the grip it gave while riding...still a bit confused abt all this, but won't be upgrading for another 2-3 months...so got plenty of time to decide...any suggestions are welcome...

                Yes you can, but be easy on the throttle and dont push her hard. Make sure to warm the bike up nicely say ride for 20 mins before you do this.

                  Re: Pulsar 200 NS Owners Review and Experiences

                  People say run in and all those things.... many people wait for their run in kms to get over which takes about 2 to 3 months depending on their frequency of riding. Many senior members didn't follow run in and have no issues. I didn't follow that and have no problem . I had about 200 kms when I took my bike to 110 and the max I have been is at 126 due to restriction of clear roads . Actually I would suggest this is the best time to try your top speed as your bike is well oiled up right now.

                    Thank you Pratiksgole & Jeevan. Is it OK to go with bajaj dtsi oil because many owners feel that the bike runs smooth with motul.

                      At your second servicing don't get the oil changed. ..do it from a local mechanic...take your own oil motul 7100 20w50 1.275 litres approx is needed and a oring and an oil filter. The mechanic may buy the old oil from you and charge 10 - 50rs .

                        I wouldn't know about the drop in performance, have had the bike for less than a week. Still running in the engine.

                        Still getting to grips with the different characteristics of this bike and the CBR250 I used previously.

                        But it sure does make an already tall bike taller still.

                          All I can say is, I don't feel a lack of performance right now.

                            I am six feet tall and although i found cbr very accomodating and comfortable..... i have to admit i kind off looked awkward on the bike.

                            So a taller ns is even better for me....i was initially inclined towards mrf revz for front and back but after hearing alot of complaints for mrfs quality (not performance)...i m more towards michelins....

                              You got four inches on me, buddy. I'm only 5'8".

                              But even I'm finding the NS's seating accommodations a little cramped after the CBR.
