Re: Pulsar 200 NS Owners Review and Experiences

The run in procedure that you have explained holds good for old vehicles. Just like the cbr150, 250, duke 200 & r15, the 200ns engine is very well made and can survive being thrashed right out of the showroom floor. The bores and pistons are laser cut to precision. They are so precise that your run in period is only about 100-150 km. Some people change their engine oil at this km mark for the first time and another time during the first service.

Motul 5100 can be used after first service and 7100 after 2nd service.

Re: Pulsar 200 NS Owners Review and Experiences

Yes brother but apart from the bore and pistons its thr rings that have to settle in, moreover a lot more surfaces mate in inside the surface as well, why risk it, slow smoothe bursts are good for the engine just don't hold an rpm, and never run in with speed at watch its the rpm that should be varied, speed jo bhi ho:P
Infact the bore and piston of the 200ns is better quality I feel than the older gen pulsars, a harder bore will require a longer run in since surfaces dont mate up that quickly just my 2 cents,
Does anyone notice the 200ns looks like the true succesor to the round headlamp old pulsar? All the ones in between the headlamps etc can be kicked out

Re: Pulsar 200 NS Owners Review and Experiences

Ok guys. Thanks for the input. I'll keep the bike calm. Btw @aditya, Which run-in procedure did you follow bro? and you sure about 5100 at first service? Don't you think the bike is too early for semi-synthetic.

P.S-Today after a 10km run I turned the fuel screw to 1 turn, anti clockwise. The bike feels absolutely smooth and refined now, Didn't take it above 6k though. No more losing breaths, Sudden jerks,etc. So @royal racer was right about bajaj people giving bikes with very lean AFR. Once again, Thanks to every one for your valuable help!

Re: Pulsar 200 NS Owners Review and Experiences

Yes, of course... Any new bike nowadays can be thrashed right out of the showroom.. But laser cut or not, metal is metal.. there definitely will be rough edges on the pistons, the cylinder wall will still be a bit rough.. you can never notice it.. you'll need a microscope or something for that...So this is negligible in most cases.. but, whatever it is, the old school method is still good for the engine bro.. it will not only ensure a better setting for not just the engine, but also the gearbox.. You wouldve definitely noticed that the gearbox is cluncky at first, but later it adjusts to your inputs.. And there will definitely be differences in FE because of this... My friends CBR only gives him 25 or something coz he rode it down from chennai before first service.. That, mind you, is a Honda engine..

And about oil.. Thats a big controversy.. actually as long as the oil is good you can put whatever you want from the first service itself.. Its all upto you, and your pocket of course.. All you have to worry about with oil is knowing when to change it, its tricky because all that depends on the oil you use and how much you care...

Re: Pulsar 200 NS Owners Review and Experiences

That's great! I'll surely be changing to 5100 during my first service.

Re: Pulsar 200 NS Owners Review and Experiences

The controversy with oil is something that shouldn't be there only:P
Semi synthetics and synthetics are much smoother with reference ro minerals, a very smoothe oil wont help in mating the surfaces during runn in, hence synthetics and ss oils are not used till 5 k on the odo
Mineral will accelerate the runn in process where as ss and fs oils wil prolong it,.
This however dosent mean you will use very ba quality oil or no oil to run in early that will f... up the engine

Hope this helped clear some doubts and generate new ones

Re: Pulsar 200 NS Owners Review and Experiences

Thats where the controversy lies... :P

Check this: Though it is not about break in, it is more general. The links at the end gives a lot of info on oils..

Oils and Oil filters are one of the favorite subjects of motorcyclist around the world. It’s a subject that tends to divide people into 2 groups. On one side are people who change oil with religious flavor at regular intervals with the conviction that even a kilometer more than recommended oil change interval is blasphemy. They are particular about what oil is used and are willing to deliberate on the pros and cons of the oil and oil filter for hours together. On the other side there are people who don’t care what oil is used nor do they believed it is no more or less important than any other maintenance that you would carry out on your bike.

Both sides have absolute faith in their in their views and sincerely believe that there is no middle ground. When these opposing sides meet for discussions on forums like XBhp there are fireworks. Its like the Joker says; “This is what happens when an unstoppable force meets an immoveable object”. Why am I rambling about this? Well, my current post takes us in to such sensitive territory and I do not wish to get caught in the crossfire that would ensue later.

I personally am particular that oil should be changed within the recommended period. However, I also believe that running 500 to 1000 kms more than the recommended interval is not going to blow the engine. While I am particular about what oil and when it is put in my bikes, I am not very particular about the same in my car. At or around the recommended interval the car is sent to the authorised service center and the oil and the oil filter are changed, but I do not inquire what make of oil has been used and what is the make of the oil filter.

As mentioned above, oils and oil filters tend to divide people. Old information, myths, self-beliefs and misinformation rule supreme in this area. In 2009, Sport Rider magazine published a path-breaking article in 2 parts, which dealt extensively with many of these myths, misinformation and self-beliefs. For those interested in knowing more here are the links Oils Well That Ends Well, Part 1 | Sport Rider, Oils Well That Ends Well, Part 2 | Sport Rider.

Re: Pulsar 200 NS Owners Review and Experiences

I always felt that u know, loved the classis 150 as a youngster, but never got to ride it.

Instead, when I get the opportunity I love to ride hard a 2006 model P150 of my brother in law, it's extremely fun to ride it, low end torque, comfortable riding posture and seat, bike goes, but the acceleration is unintimidating for me .. and it's clocked 70k+ kms, only clutch plates changed once or twice.

Re: Pulsar 200 NS Owners Review and Experiences

Hey guys i was again having squeaking noises from rear disc
I cleaned pad twice even then noise was present as if pads were rubbing the disc.. Checked disc for bend... didnt find it.. oil level was also ok..

After looking around for sometime i adjusted this lever


And the noise started to reduce!!! adjusted it until noise completely vanished.. and also bite has improved..
I hope this helps others..
And other note my brake oil has completely turned black!
Is it time to replace it??

Re: Pulsar 200 NS Owners Review and Experiences

Its related to "run in" . Do not run your bike before warming up the engine. Do not accelerate hard till 2-3 km of ride. Do not redline the bike often and do not pamper your bike either. Other than that, DTSI oil is crap so oil change after first 100 km is recommended. I redlined my bike on the first day of ride. I never followed the " keep your bike under 5k rpm for first 600 km " advice. My bike is 5500 km run with no issues so far and i am getting a fuel economy of 38-42. Still 5500 km is too small to comment on engine reliability so can't advice the same to others but bike is rock solid and smooth so far.

Re: Pulsar 200 NS Owners Review and Experiences

5010km on odo...getting little but vibs on footrest and handle bar at around 3-5 rpm , had recently tuned the Afr ..can that be a reason for increase of vibs? Also I have changed my oil to motul 5100 at 2500 km , should I change my oil again now ..giving my bike for 3rd service this week ...what all should ask the SVC people to rectify

Re: Pulsar 200 NS Owners Review and Experiences

Man why dot guys do a little quicker oil changes till 5 to 8 k on the odo

You should have changed a little earlier but no harm done, change oil and filter and clean the magnetic filter in the drain bolt.
Stick with motul5100,
The vibes csn be due to improper afr, even when a chain is not nicely lubed it can cause vibes,
Also vibes in footrest is a character of the bike, its a perimeter frame so that will happen, but too much is something wrong,
Change oil every 3000 to 3500 km with motul

does anyone here have the PDF of the Pulsar 200NS parts manual?

please let me know.

I have done my first oil change at 500 km to bajaj dtsi oil at my first SVC then at 2500km to motul 5100 ..should I change it again now ..at 3 rd SVC.
