Re: New set of tyres - Michelins

I'd like to add the upcoming 200SS as an option to you because, its nearly as powerful as the 220 (200NS engine), most possibly FI (so no headaches with tuning) and the fairing will help you on your 300 km weekend rides.

Coming to comfort, well, the NS rides a bit on the stiffer side and bad roads may not help your recovering back. My pillions never complained about sore butts on long hauls. Infact my girlfriend likes the positioning of the grabrails with respect to the seat. I did notice the new 200NS's come with a stiffer seat than what i have on my 2 year old bike. A test ride with a pillion should clear all your doubts in that department.

Once again, coming to power, or lets talk torque. NS will feel a bit less torquey than the 220 and this effect is a bit pronounced wih a pillion. You'll have to rev upto 8k rpm in each gear if you wanna have satisfying acceleration to overtake other vehicles on the highway or to hit and stay at 110-120 kmh. And this engine will be used on the SS as well. So think it over.

I'm sure the new FZ will disappoint you with respect to power / torque. Even if you can expect better quality than our pulsars, on the highway you'll catch yourself repenting, especially after tasting and adjusting to 220's raw torque.

Re: Pulsar 200 NS Owners Review and Experiences

Ahh i m tried of this boring exhaust note, lol its sounds like a tractor at low revs...

Has anybody upgraded to a better sounding exhaust??
Plz share your experiences, i intend to change my exhaust soon....i live in delhi so one option that is available is to visit karol bagh nd see what all is on offer...

But still im askin you for ur experiences cuz
1- im a bit lazy
2- my bike has done only 1200km as of now.

Re: Pulsar 200 NS Owners Review and Experiences

There is a connector between bend pipe and exhaust remove the exhaust from there.. There lot of exhaust you will find in karol bagh but main problem is you need a custom made curve kind of pipe between bend pipe n exhaust. Or you can change the whole assembly.

Re: Pulsar 200 NS Owners Review and Experiences

Please dont screw you bike with those after market "tin cans". Exhaust is not only a piece of hollow pipe with cat con in it, it has too many "technicalities" involved.
There is no after market exhaust available for NS yet from any branded companies.
A single bad exhaust can easily kill your engine (ask me, I spent on so-called plug n play exhaust on mine).
Its your bike, your money, but do think of practicality and longevity of your bike too.

Re: Pulsar 200 NS Owners Review and Experiences

Hi friends. I have a doubt regarding shifting the gears. Which is the best way? Changing the gears at lower rpms say 4000 to 5000 or each gear in higher rpms. Consider all points such as engine stress, acceleration, mileage etc.,

Re: Pulsar 200 NS Owners Review and Experiences

There is still no exhaust from a good brand after all these years!!!!

No i dont want hollow pipe aka free flow for my bike....

On youtube there are quite a few vids where u can find all sorts of branded exhausts on ns althoughi agree all or most of them originate from indonesia

Re: Pulsar 200 NS Owners Review and Experiences



This one is a slip-on, costs around 6k including the bend pipe. It was on my friend's bike. He used it for around 10k kms with zero issues but had to get back to stock exhaust after his RC was seized by the cops for it. It's now lying in his bedroom and he's looking to sell it for half price. Location: Bengaluru.

On the numerous rides that ive been with him, i did find the exhaust note quite sweet with the decibel killer attached to it. Without it, it made quite an irritating racket.

Its an akrapovic!! , (if its not a fake chinese thingy) and here we were thinking that no branded exhaust was available for our beloved bike.

If possible can you upload the exhaust note??

Re: Pulsar 200 NS Owners Review and Experiences

Whoa whoa easy there! It's not an akra. it's just some end can with an akra sticker. When he's riding and someone looks at his bike, they tend to take second looks because it looks quite convincing but no issues all through the time he had it. And yes the others are right. There are no branded exhausts for our desi bikes. It's funny, both the duke 200 and our NS has nearly the same configuration. Even the FZ has aftermarket options so carb or fi doesnt matter. Yet the bikes marketed as international products have so many options and ours dont. :/

Re: New set of tyres - Michelins

Has any one tried different grab handle for our NS? Our stock Grab handle becomes useless when passengers(elder people) needs to hold on to something. Most of the times im travelling with my mom and she is having hard time holding on to Split handles. i really need to fit one... like pulsar 150 or old discover grab handle. which grab handle will be a direct fit for our NS r else what are the modification needs to b done to fit one. i would be grateful if i get a reply.

Re: Pulsar 200 NS Owners Review and Experiences

We removed the "airfilter element" and added 4mm sponge in my friend's NS. bassy exhaust note without costing a rupee. Top end decreased by 15kmph.
The 4mm sponge is soaked in oil and hope this filters the dust.
PS: I don't call it an upgrade though.

Re: Pulsar 200 NS Owners Review and Experiences

You've successfully managed to make it run super lean. If you still want to keep this sponge filter, upjet to a 120 main jet. You'll get back the top speed.

Re: Pulsar 200 NS Owners Review and Experiences

I find it very hard to remove the Carburetor of 200NS. Infact its a nightmare to re insert the carb and the air filter box.. Is this because of me missing some technique?
where can I find this 120 main jet? I mean from which bike's carb?

Re: Pulsar 200 NS Owners Review and Experiences

Is p220 more comfy than p200n for rider as well as pillon?

thank you

i am going for fz 2.0 on 2 september
