Re: Pulsar 200 NS Owners Review and Experiences

Am pretty sure he's talking about the Mysore Ring Road. If so, that's not a good place to try to max out a bike, except maybe commuter bikes.

Re: Pulsar 200 NS Owners Review and Experiences

@ anuj_gupta
Today saw an ns with a leo vice cobra stainless steel exhaust on it....
talked to the guy at a red light, man it sounded so good, not at all loud or thumpy.... anyone hearing it will be confused it was a multi cylinder bike. I asked him about rejetting he said he took the bike for tests where a little richer mixture on the carb did the tric rejetting not required! !
It costed 14k rs I suppose for him and he had to pay for a bend pipe etc,
Man its the most beautiful thing I heard! And it looked hot, couldn't take pics. He said it was for a 150cc bike so back pressure on a stock ns was not so high that it would cause a lean mixture. I guess he knew what he was talking about.... didnt hug him any further

Yes that is one scary place the Mysore ORR. Thank god that nothing happened.
The max. I achieved was 123 near the Rock Garden restaurant on ORR. Too many people in wrong lanes especially near the industrial area and near that big white apratment crossing.

Guys, I asked earlier but didn't get an answer. What does "MA2" on the Motul 7100 20W50 oil bottle signify?
Can I mix it with Motul 7100 20W50 with MA written on it? I got some 700ml leftover in 7100 bottle with MA2 written on it.
But after searching the whole city found some bottles with "MA". Can I mix this MA with MA2, as the grade is same?
Please advise.

Re: Pulsar 200 NS Owners Review and Experiences

Yes you can mix them

MA & MA2 are the certifications which shows its suitable for wet clutch engines ,nothing major improvements just a scale to show MA2 is better for clutch locking than MA

Re: Pulsar 200 NS Owners Review and Experiences

If its in a closed bottle then go ahead engine oil dosent degrade and has a very long shelf life but I wouldn't use something thats been left open for a long time the bajaj svc near my house keeps brake oil in open bucket like containers and uses it:banghead: brake oil degrades very fast! Stupid svc

Re: Pulsar 200 NS Owners Review and Experiences

Guys,
I can find some drops of brake fluid on the chain cover on my bike. It does not happen when I take it for a short spin,
But always during my office commute where I encounter some bad stretches of road.

I've tried opening and scewing the lid tightly closed but it hasn't helped. This has been occurring for the past 10 days or so.
Is it the lid or leaking from elsewhere?

Has anyone experienced this on their bikes?

Regards

Re: Pulsar 200 NS Owners Review and Experiences

Do you feel any loss in brake bite?
The hose from the brake flid reservoir sometimes leaks. But this will make you feel a loss in brake bite. If you dont then its something else.
Or maybe simply you have overfilled the brake fluid.
Put some anabond on the threads of the brake reservoir cap and then screw it back.
Please note brake fluid eats away at your paint! If you see some wipe off immediately! Check if the brake reservoir cap has a rubber o ring if its missing buy a new one!
Since you say it happens on a bad stretch of road the brake fluid is simply rattling/shaking out of the resivoir cap.

Re: Pulsar 200 NS Owners Review and Experiences

Eyup, never gonna try cornering above 120 km/h. Not on NS anyway.

So finally I've arrived at the conclusion that the oil deposit on spark plug thread is a common characteristic of the 200NS engine. Many people got back to me saying that they found the exact same observation as I did - oily left plug and clean right plug (now this is assuming that the mechanic did NOT apply oil on the thread to screw it in, in the first place).

Now even though this is not a worrying matter anymore, what could the reason for it be? Could it be one of the following?

Synthetic oil is overkill for this engine.

Or

It's something to do with the bike being placed on side stand and leaned to the left over a few hours so oil trickles down to the left from the head.

Or

The fact that 4 stroke IC engines normally consume a little engine oil and the NS engine consumes a little more.

Or

The burnt fumes that blow past the piston rings into the oil chamber during the combustion cycle get recycled through the PCV system, whereby the fumes along with a small quantity of vaporised oil at high temperatures get pumped back to the intake to be mixed with fresh charge. This vaporised oil might enter the combustion chamber again and might settle on the spark plugs. But why left plug only? Perhaps something to do with the way the flamefront propagates in the cylinder as a direct result of the firing order of the plugs. For example if the right plug fires a split millisecond before the others, the charge bursts into combustion, pushing everything away (including vaporised oil) from this plug and the momentum is good enough to make it deposit on the others. Oh did i ever mention? There was oil on the main plug too.

Or

Bad quality valve seals or guides? This cant be because the engine is a gem, a high revving reliable engine which was designed and tested to stay rock solid at 11k rpm. A flimsy engine wont survive saddlesores, 1000 km days and high altitude runs in a variety of temperatures.

Anyone else curious to find out the story inside their engine may open the plugs at home and see.

Re: Pulsar 200 NS Owners Review and Experiences

I have checked 5 200NS since you posted that oil deposit post earlier, both single color and dual color. Non had any oil deposit on any plug.

Re: Pulsar 200 NS Owners Review and Experiences

Asked 2 ns owners in college to open their plugs
One bike is on motul 7100 and one was on oem bajaj
Motul one had done 12k kms and bajaj one was under 2k kms
Motul one had oil in plug (left and right)
Couldnt unscrew thr right plug of the newer ns, left one had no oi.
Definitely seems like the fs oil.

Re: Pulsar 200 NS Owners Review and Experiences

Thanks for the reply Divyansh!
I haven't experienced any loss of braking, that because I seldom use the rear brake.
I haven't filled in brake fluid since I got the bike a lil over a month ago, will nonetheless get it checked with my trusted mech.

And yes, I do wipe out the spill immediately on noticing. I did not notice any O ring when i tightened the cap, will check and revert.

Cheers

Re: Pulsar 200 NS Owners Review and Experiences

Its probably spilling out
Use a little anabond on the threads and tighten also you can take a strip of electrical tape and wrap it around the resivoir thread just once and then tighten the cap, will be like a gasket, but try to see why the oil is spilling in the first place

Re: Pulsar 200 NS Owners Review and Experiences

Other than eating of paint of your bike fluid will also get contaminated by mixing of air, which in turn affect your braking

----consecutive posts auto-merged-----

Are you sure man that it's the fs oil which is the culprit, i mean any oil will leave deposit if it is burned in the engine, you are assuming that right plug fires earlier than left plug because of which the unburnt fuel is pushed toward the left plug or main plug hence it has got oil deposit, can't this procedure occur in a opposite way since left plug is the main plug (i think) so this plug fires first and because this plug has to start the ignition a lot of fuel and oil is burned by this plug first, hence it has got oil opposite and the opposite plugs haven't, plus in a healthy engine you just cannot have any blow by, blow by will heat up crankcase temp and with it the oil temprature also, plus your engine oil will get contaminated which will again be picked up by the engine during intake stroke because the engine is not air tight,oil will get burned in the ignition stroke, plug will again show signs of oil and this sequence will keep repeating itself.
