        Thanks for supporting me. It will help many users by these comments.
        It is not possible to change licensing rules. Let us spam with "like this posts" on all forums to aware peoples.

        Michelin would definitely be a good upgrade.

        By your experience, right? & not by others words???

        I am also upgrading to new tyres, the one in the duke.

        Eurogrip tyres are only suitable for low and medium speed braking.
        If u want pure assurance regarding braking, then you should upgrade the tyres.

        I agreed with your opinion.
        Will you please clear my some doubts?
        Do you think, you wouldn't have such incident or experience, if you had used any other brand? If yes, which? let us know.
        I also think that you were on a good tarmac without any oils or loose particles, right?
        I appreciate your "stunting skills". I am not a pro like you. Just a rider who loves fast riding. of-course with good fuel mileage.
        I had an experience to stop my NS from 100-120 KM/hr to Zero under heavy raining , where my NS helped me to replay to you. U understand, what I said?
        Braking of 90-110 to 30-40 is common on my riding style in Kerala. Because my normal riding speed is 75-80.
        I felt that now my NS's speedo has serious error, or may be by perfection by NS. I don't know.
        Higher - 150 - only ones - without pillion & 140 with pillion.
        never tried to get that speed.

        but not ugliest than R15v2, in my opinion.
        Because my younger brother is using it & I will use it for some fun drive.
        It has the same power or NS, I feel. Excellent acceleration. maneuverability is far better than my bike.
        Excellent braking than NS.
        I wish if I am the only rider in roads !!!!!
        So I can red line my bike all the time

          Wow! So much discussion regarding tyres! I just changed the Eurogrips last month. Front tyre had done 26500 kms and completely worn out. I had to replace the rear tyre under warranty when it was just 4500kms as it got a bulge. Which means the rear tyre was only 22K kms when I changed it now.
          On good roads, Eurogrip doesn't have any issues with cornering at high speeds, be it wet or dry. But both front and rear looses grip even with the slightest amount of loose sand, small stones etc. While Eurogrip performs decently under normal breaking, it gives you jitters on panic breaking. 90% of the time the wheels locked when I had to panic break @90+ kmph. Good part is, it is very less prone to puncture. I had just one puncture.

          New tyres
          Front: 80/100 Michelin Pilot sporty
          Rear: 130/70 MRF Revz S
          Michelin Street Radial comes in 130/70 is the best for 200NS, but is 2k more than MRF.

          Just covered around 500 kms with the new set. The grip is much better. No fishtailing even on hard breaking at speeds above 100kmph. Yet to test in wet conditions and ghats.

                  RADIATOR IS WORKING..
                  the heat you feel in left leg is the one dispatched from engine by action of radiator, whenever you feel the heat, try to hear a distant sound coming apart from engine sound, you'll notice a fan working, it will be a sound just like you hear from a standing idling wagonr car.

                  Directly ahead of engine, below tank, you have to see it by standing in front of bike, it is behind black grill fins.

                    Have a problem. When I move the bike without the engine running I get a squeaking noise coming from somewhere from the chain. Now when I start the engine shift in 1st and 2nd gear the squeak comes again. The squeak comes when the wheel completes one rotation. The squeak increases with speed.On 3rd gear the squeak cannot be heard. Somebody please help me

                      Finally got MOTUL from a small town near Ludhiana,but its 3000 mineral.Its a new shop and the owner seems to be a good person and he said he will also get 5100 and 7100 in a week.
                      Today got 3000 and now just changing the oil.
                      Will post if any change in vibrations.

                          Hi mani- I have tried 3000 .. ive tried the valvoline 5w40 ... tried 7100 .... with my experience allni can say is the smoothest was valv and then 7100 from motul. Now the catch is anything more than 7100 is of no use for NS ... u can cruise happily at 115 kmph... as long as u want on 7100 ...... with 3000 im sure u will find the engine a lot better when idiling and during redlining.... ride safe...thnx

                            Chain slackness has been adjusted. Minimum slackness. Should I lubricate the chain?

Don't forget to apply brakes in the ratio of 70:30 (Front:back). or more power to front.
                              Please dont use only back brakes for stalling your bike @ higher (above 45 KMs speed)
                              Always use back brakes as a support to front. (with any brand)
                              I am not a "Tamilan" to encourage TVS.( Eurogrip is a TVS brand)
                              We are Malayalees & we didn't have any partiality about any brand, which were made in Kerala or not.


                              Also I am surprised,
                              no one had offended me, like always done. Thanks friends.
                              Thanks for the suggestions, I already follow the 70:30 technique, been scouring this thread inside out to learn as much as I can about the 200ns.

                                The first thing I did after getting delivery of my bike and coming home was to clean the chain with 3M 4-way spray and lubricate it with Motul lubricant. And adjusting the play of the chain.

                                The way the chain came from the factory, it was almost dry and the tension of the chain was too tight. Immediately after lubricating and adjusting, the bike became smoother and the chain noise disappeared.
