Re: Pulsar 200 NS Owners Review and Experiences

Did clear coating today by myself
After failed search for proper lacquer paint... I opted for bosny clear coat spray paint can..





Striped body and cleaned it with mild detergent solution.. and after drying it with dry cloth and hair dryer gave each part (tail, mid section and tank) 3 coats..



This made the look and texture to a matte colour one..





Happy with results

Re: Pulsar 200 NS Owners Review and Experiences

Hello all,

After a brief introduction, this is my first proper (rather lengthy) post. I am a proud owner of the 200ns, my first one, since 2 months now. I have been religiously following these threads, reading and gaining as much as information on the bike. Although late to join the party, thought of just chipping in with my personal experience and observations on the NS, through these 2300 odd kms of ownership.

Buying decision –

Automobiles have fascinated me ever since I can remember and the longing to own a bike has been a natural consequence of it, finally getting my hands on one - 5 years into work life. We have a Honda Aviator & Kinetic at home and have had several bikes at my place during college days (thanks to all those outstation friends).
One thing was sure, after having waited so long I wanted a reasonably powerful bike even if it came at a cost. Some basic product study and it was not very difficult to zero in on the NS. It looked meaty, had the right curves and had tech load of specs at a price which made it irresistible. Reading through all reviews and the threads here, along with 3 TDs, the decision was finally made.

Buying/dealer experience –

Understood that Khivaraj and Jai Bajaj were the major players in Chennai. Went into Khivaraj Mount road, had a humbling experience, walked off. From there straight to Jai Bajaj at West Mambalam – Much better customer reception, probably because of the senior staff. All formalities clarified, booked the bike on 9^th June, got it delivered on 14^th July, 15 days behind the promised delivery date.
Even though the staff at Jai was courteous, they really knew business and did not budge in for any discounts or freebies (had to buy the center stand and cover at full cost). They were stern and had a no-nonsense attitude (not a bad thing though). No fanfare during delivery too - One mechanic hurriedly briefed me about the bike, handed over the key and left me all alone. The sales person who was attending to my order did not even come out of her seat. I had to console my conscience, despite buying one of the costliest bikes from their stable.

Initial driving impressions –
^st gear felt pretty long whereas in comparison the 2^ndstFirst Service update –
^nd to 3^rdnd

Re: Pulsar 200 NS Owners Review and Experiences

900 on the ODO for me, a month old NS and I too sense two clicks when shifting from 2nd to 3rd. So I'm guessing its fine.

You can shift to Motul 5100 if you want, but I highly suggest you stick with 20w50 which is Motul 7100 (if you're into touring) as, in 15w50 viscosity changes and drops at high temperature during touring and such in my opinion.

I don't think there is anyway to change the travel of the gear lever. The only solution is to change the engine oil and cope up the level travel with smooth shifts. Cheers.

Re: Pulsar 200 NS Owners Review and Experiences

Thanks Anirudh, hoping that the shifts become better with oil change.

Re: Pulsar 200 NS Owners Review and Experiences

Motul 7100 is the best oil for the NS (300V is overkill). It takes a while to warm up, but once it's in its zone, the performance is quite good. I've never missed a single gearshift on my NS, for the past 3.5k km after switching to this.

Try the 7100, you'll never regret it. Also, the drain interval can easily exceed 5k km (some claim 7k km too).

Re: Pulsar 200 NS Owners Review and Experiences

Can you guys recommend any good service center or good mechanic located in Kolkata for my Pulsar 200 NS.
Having some trouble in handling, the handle seems to be woobling at high speed, when turning. Checked with the Rolta Bajaj service center, but they were unable rectify it.

Re: Pulsar 200 NS Owners Review and Experiences

I personally feel the second gear in the NS is quite useless. The bike lugs at 20 km/hr in the 2nd gear. It makes it mandatory to shift to first gear while slowing down in traffic. Its not tall enough too. AFAIK most riders stay in 2nd gear for very short periods. 3rd gear onwards its quite good
Or maybe am not a good rider :what: any corrections ??

Re: Pulsar 200 NS Owners Review and Experiences

Mine story is completly different.
I change to 3rd gear after 18kmph and bike pulls fine.
I can ride easily at 11 kmph on 2nd gear.

Re: Pulsar 200 NS Owners Review and Experiences

Yep same here....
I got almost 2k on the odo, and it has been a really good experience so for.
i switched to motul 3000 mineral after the first service and i can vouch for this oil, its just so much better than the stock oil (which i believe is some oil made by HP) and since this is mineral u can use this in the run in period.
I am too going to switch over to motul 5100 after the second service.

Re: Pulsar 200 NS Owners Review and Experiences

What do you guys of the wolf stickers?? And there is a slight delay in buying the bike since some astrologer told my time is not good for me till november!! [emoji35] [emoji35] [emoji34] [emoji35] well you how moms react so thought of buying the in the rise of the new year hope fully ss or fi version would be launched here fingers crossed!!!

Re: Pulsar 200 NS Owners Review and Experiences

Have patience bro,its better to wait for 200SS. Full faired bike,fuel injection,new exhaust,new tail light,26 bhp,dual projector light,who can resist that. I'm going to exchange my NS right away for SS. Hope they got 200CS too as a suprise. Sticker looks good but is it the same one or did you get the full face?

Re: Pulsar 200 NS Owners Review and Experiences

I need a little help from you all
Today when i saw under my exhaust i found a little hole from where the air is leaking
I attached the pictures of the same
Can anyone tell that this hole is factory means all ns have this and if yes then why??

Re: Pulsar 200 NS Owners Review and Experiences

Haven't checked, but makes sense, must be a water outlet for rainy season

Re: Pulsar 200 NS Owners Review and Experiences

The same one couldnt exchange it!! But kinda happy with for now and searching for a full faced one!! You are right bro well ss is tempting only prob is the price tag already the ns cost 424900 slr the ss would pass the 500k mark
