    I never mentioned I tried all the tyre sizes but I did try 150/60 and 140/60 and gave my review which I think would HELP SOMEONE.

    Assume as you like. I don't have to convince anyone that I haven't brought them out of thin air. And if you see correctly I've reviewed the 140/70-17 tyre and not the 140/60 simply because I have never ridden an NS with that size. Observe correctly before making blatant accusations

      Check my last 2nd post , I wrote you reviewed 140/70 only.last post it was a typo
      Your reviews for so many tyre sizes were just bull sh** man.Dont make up stuff.We are here to help each other and not to confuse fellow xbhpians, remember?
      And let me help you so that you don't start again flooding the space here with your justifications-
      Ride with 140/60.I am in love with the bike more and more.

        why it is so easy to break fork lock. why companies couldn't want to do anything about it. mahindra centuro has a center locking factory fitted which is approx 50000 rupees bike but why bajaj don't put it in 1 lakh bike (pulsar 200ns) . now a days almost all car companies give option to fit a center locking why all these bike companies doesn't give these facilities is there responsibility is only till a customer buys there bike
        Buddy even central locking would just electronically disable the bike, lock can still be broken, also if its something electrical or electronic trust me it can be broken, no matter what ypu do:banghead:

        Just buy 2 disc locks for about 300 to 800rs a piece, get the stainless steel ones. Put them on the disc both front and back they fix into the holes and your bike is not going anywhere unless..
        Someone breaks the central lock, then
        Hot wires the bike then
        Either opens and dislodges the brake callipers and runs off without brakes
        Or removes the discs which still leavs a brakeless bike,
        Or he can pick/break the locks, which is very difficult.
        Or he goes all hulk john Abraham (force) and picks the bike up and runs off with it
        Disc locks are pretty safe as far as I have seen but if you forget to remove them and try to ride you can damage the discs and calipers so be carefull.

        One other method would be to chain the saree guard and alloy wheel together.
        Ns is a thief magnet along with splendours

        Now a little ot:- (sorry mods)
        I have a bad habit of feeding stray dogs
        When I park my bike near my college I rip a packet of parle g and leave it below the bike and theres this dog that sleeps under the bike eats the biscuits, pisses on the tyres and barks at anyone who isint me or a few of my known friends:P
        Also he receives all the spare tiffin from my friends and even me, also a fish wala gives him throw away pieces everyday, pampered fleabag aint he
        His name is 'boltu' (because he chewed up one of my footrests to the bolt).

              After 19 months of ownership, today I had my first lowside crash, all thanks to the Euroslip tyres and a water on the road.. honestly it looked more like Oil to me, I forgot to check it. Clearly left by a leaking truck or something. Incidents as such destroy your confidence in bike's handling and your skills for sometime..

              looking to hear in detail about ur exeprience in past months.

                So my 200ns clocked 10,000 Kms today!
                It's been a long journey,had no problems till now in my one and a half year's ownership.
                But I haven't been able to use motul 3100 engine oil as my service centre guys suggested me if I want to claim the full 2 year warranty then I have to stick with that crap bajaj engine oil , it vibrates like a phone that's been kept on vibration mode !
                In these 10,000 Kms the spark plugs have remained as good as new I.e., no carbon deposits till now , also haven't mess with the carburetor and all , get 35-40 kmpl from day 1 till now and I ride quite enthusiastically ;-) .
                I am really happy with my yellow 200ns !

                Also still after 2 years since the bike has been launched,people still ask konsi bike h ?

                  For you it was water, for me it was an aunty on a scooty, which gave the chance for my rear euroslips to lock at a speed of 35-40.(yes you read it right,35 kmph)
                  Next day I made my long cobfused mind and got a rear tyre upgrade.feeling much safer now.

                    Yes i have abused it a lot but have equally given it the treatment it deserves....then engine does not have any major issues apart from what i always had from day 1 other than headgaskets going kaput everytime and coolant mixing with oil... The engine quality of this thing is bulletproof... If i am unable to seize the block till now then i really dont know what will.... The problem lies with everything other than the engine, wiring and batteries....

                    Screeching rear wheel aint gonna blow my engine... Anyways the engine is in good shape and i had taken very good care of it... Other than it everything is gone.... Even both suspensions.... Completely gone.... Everything in the bike is rattling even after stripping it naked and refitting it... Lots of extremely irritating issues....

                      For those who didn't know this

                      Guys if anything like oil , water , sand and little stone comes on the road always remember not to brake, accelerate or turn the bike let the bike go as it is going
                      in that situation ]

                      this even apply for turn at turn try not to brake or accelerate


                      when you brake because a very little patch of your wheel is touching the road and in normal condition it is enough for grip but when their is any liquid spilled it come between your tyre and road and if you brake their is not enough grip to carry that braking force and as the result tyre slips and same goes for acceleration but if you let the bike move without braking or accelerating the bike grip will not get braked due to the gyroscopic effect you will move over it without any problem

                      in case of sand and little stone as soon as you brake or accelerate the sand or little stone as they are not bonded the start to get out of the way of that leads to a slip

                      so try not to run through oil , water , sand and little stone and if it comes suddenly finish all the braking before entering oil water sand or little stones this will make you and your bike safe

                      gyroscopic effect is the effect which is possessed by bike tyre to remain perpendicular to the axis of rotation in ly man terms it is the force which you can till at a turn and return back to normal riding position

                        If you've to apply brake than engine braking is more reliable on that kinda' situation.I've doing it from a very long time.Downshift one at a time releasing clutch slowly.In cornering also its same,even if your rear slip you can overcome but don't lose your front.

                            Your bike is running a bit lean.Ask the mechanic to tune the carb.Engine vl be bit hotter .
