Re: Pulsar 200 NS Owners Review and Experiences

Installed short clutch lever and short brake lever...costed 1700 and 50 rs Labour charge for fitting...I feel more comfortable now and less effort to use...feels little more efficient than the stock ones...

Re: Pulsar 200 NS Owners Review and Experiences

Finally finally getting my pulsar 200ns on coming 20th!!!
Test rode it again ;-) a couple days back, but this time it was different, i personally wanted to check the famed euroslips myself.....
No matter how hard i braked, tyres showed no signs of any loss of grip, coudnt find any wet patch on the td so cant talk about wet grip.
Also like to mention that i took this td in the scorching delhi afternoon so it can be said that the tyres had sufficiently heated up.

Re: Pulsar 200 NS Owners Review and Experiences

Earliar i was thoroughly convinced that the eurogrips are going to be replaced by the michelin pilot street front nd back, but after my last td i dunno what to do.

Plz can anybody using michelins share his experience??

Re: Pulsar 200 NS Owners Review and Experiences

I intend to use one. Actually, I've already used my dial type torque-wrench on the oil filter cover bolts.
I had looked up the Duke 200 manual for the torque values: "8 Nm. Okay 8 it is."
The result was quite annoying, though: one of the bolts snapped off just two milimeters beneath the bolt head.
The dial was showing 6-7 Nm. I don't know what happened. It is actually a high-quality dial type torque wrench.

Then I bought similar M5X16mm bolts from a bolt store, but I didn't use the torque wrench this time, tightening them down

By the way, the filter cover leaks some oil now. What's the solution? A new o-ring?

Re: Help Pulsar 200ns.

I wonder if you still need help with this. Anyways, I feel it is due to a loose screw which drains out the oil from carburetor. Its on the right hand side.

@ others - My problem. Whenever I wash my bike, water enters the carburetor and so I have to loosen this screw and drain out the oil in carburetor after every wash. I took it to a mechanic but he was unable to find any leakage. Anyone any idea?

Re: Pulsar 200 NS Owners Review and Experiences

Looks nice, where'd you get them at this price? Please share your source.

Re: Pulsar 200 NS Owners Review and Experiences

Lol, sad to hear that. So it is better off with the normal wrench right?? I guess it would snapped of due to the vibration and over tightness, Not sure though!

Sorry bro, No idea about the solution.

Re: Pulsar 200 NS Owners Review and Experiences

Bought it from a local shop here in trivandrum...

Re: Pulsar 200 NS Owners Review and Experiences

I got my beast the Pulsar 200NS just 15 days back.I have clocked 350 km on the odometer as of now.there are a few things i wanted to clarify.
(1) How important is the "break in" period?
(2)The front brake makes a sound when applied.It sounds like the wheel is going free but the brakes are working.What could be the reason behind that sound?
(3)Is there anyway to adjust the back monoshock suspension?
(4)When the bikes handle bar is facing the left hand side and the bike is moved theres a squeaky noise that comes from the front end.What does this imply?

I will be grateful to anyone who can shed some light on my problems and help me out.

P.S. on the second day of owning the bike i noticed a oil leak,i took it to the SVC and they told me the gasket cover was leaking.Fortunately they fixed it and i have had no problems of any sort in that front.But i didn't expect so many problems from such a premium bike like the 200NS

Re: Pulsar 200 NS Owners Review and Experiences

(1) How important is the "break in" period?

engine break in period is very very important i tell you my bike i got it in may this year when i got and i run the bike on road i feel engine vibration at 3500 rpm to 6000 rpm only once reached 6000 rpm but now because i am following the break in the vibrations are gone and engine is becoming more and more refined and now
i feel engine vibrations only at 4500 rpm to 5000 rpm and that to nearly negligible and my bike has just clocked 750 km

this happens because the piston rings and piston bore are new and there edges are rough then if we accelerate hard then the rough edge would damage engine
though this damage is very little but in the long run the engine will lose its compression and the engine will not last and not only long run is the problem a proper break in engine will accelerate faster and a proper break in engine has less vibrations

i know it is very difficult to stop yourself from accelerating such an amazing machine but i feel the refined and a without break in engine
and this is the reason why some ns can reach 0 - 100 in just 8.78 s and some ns can reach 0-100 in 11.58s
and this also effects the top speed of bike
so if you want that you can win every race and you machine never have problems then do follow break in
and always remain below 5000 rpm till 2000 km little bust can be given, accelerate slowly , before riding make the engine idle for about 1 to 2 min so that engine warm ups use every gear and do not accelerate rpm above 5000 even if you are not in gear just standing.
read the manual before using the vehicle


(2)The front brake makes a sound when applied.It sounds like the wheel is going free but the brakes are working.What could be the reason behind that sound?

this is natural i also listen that sound it is because when you apply the brakes the brake pad vibrates and that vibration goes to tha hydrolic fluid and from their to fluid reservoir on handle of bike though you cant feel that vibration but you can listen it

(3)Is there anyway to adjust the back monoshock suspension?

yes go to svc tell them they will do that

(4)When the bikes handle bar is facing the left hand side and the bike is moved theres a squeaky noise that comes from the front end.What does this imply?

may be it is just the little bit slipping of tyre

Re: Pulsar 200 NS Owners Review and Experiences

First of all congrats for the new beast buddy,
Break in is very very important for a new vehicle. The first 2000Kms of the bike determine the mileage, the power delivery and the smoothness of the engine. When the engine is brand new it has microscopic imperfections. so for the first 1000Kms the Pistons, the cylinders gears and all the important parts polish themselves to perfect smoothness. Its like polishing a diamond. If you go rough and rev your beast like crazy, the engine parts will get rough and the mileage as well as the smoothness of the engine will be spoiled forever. do not cross 50 - 55 Kmph for first 500 kms. then increase the Rpm and speed every 200 Kms (for example- 4k rpm and 55kmph for 500kms, 5-6k rpm 65kmph from 500 - 700 kms an so on). Do this for 2000 Kms and enjoy the smooth engine for the rest of the life.

Also as the engine polishes itself, get your engine oil and oil filter changed at every free service because the fine metal particles settle in the oil filter and if oil filter is not changed along with the oil, it is of no use. Follow this method and your beast will remain vibration free and will give really good mileage. (I own a 3 month old R15 and followed the above procedure, and my bike gives 40+ mileage at all times. be it in the crowded city(40-42) or open highway(45-50)).

Re: Pulsar 200 NS Owners Review and Experiences

nupulsar,thanks a lot for letting me know how important the break in period is.It is mighty tough to keep myself from achieving escape velocity on the bike! :P
I shall strictly follow the 2000 km break in period.

about the handle bar sound....i dont think its the tyre because theres a metallic squeaky sound.

Thanks for your input anyway!

Thanks a lot Ankey!

I am really trying hard to keep the beast in control till the 2000km mar.. and thats some crazy mileage figures for your yamaha R15 xO congrats on that.

thanks again!
ride safe!
