          I know! what i meant to convey was my surprise over the lesser taxes in MH compared to UP/Delhi-NCR as generally the taxes are much higher there; for example, compare the petrol prices.
          Perhaps the transportation cost was much more than the state taxes. MH would have very minimal transportation costs as the bike is manufactured there.

            In Delhi ? 1800 or 1900 INR. A friend got it fitted yesterday, along with Michelin radial 140/70.
            Most front tyres of 100/80 are priced around 1700-2000 max.

              Replaced the following:
              Filled engine oil Motul 7100 1.4L

              Chain Sprocket set
              Oil Filter
              Fuel Filter
              Coneset w/ spacer
              Fork Oil
              Diaphragm w/ slide
              Ignition Lock set as I had lost a key in college
              Clutch cable set
              Acc cable set
              Spark plug main along with slaves (total 3)
              along with Labour

              Came upto a total of 10k

              Bike is now almost new, felt like I was taking it out of the showroom for the first time.


              Next major replacements to lookout for during the coming service (approx 21k+) :
              Tyres: TVS ATT230R set
              Clutch plates

              Current reading 18k
              Current problem is that my RPM needle is vibrating a lot, is it possible to fix this?
              10k is too much considering the fact that it was just 16000km old bike at the time of service...

                GUys has anyone fixed a flyscreen or a windscreen to aid in avoiding windblast during touring.

                Have seen a thread for flyscreen fitment done on Duke200 in the DIY thread. They have fitted a CBR250 windscreen in Duke200. Any idea a similar or something else can be done for 200NS.

                Any suggestions with pics will be helpful.

                Cheers

                    I paid INR 1950 in July for this tire.
                    The Revz-Y cost 3200.

                      As for Revz-Y, i got it for ₹2900 just a few days back from MRF dealer.

                      Ride safe and have fun.

                        Yes. But, it might be mostly because of the V.A.T differences... Some states dont have it for some products [ MT helmets are a little more cheaper if you buy them from [SPG] chennai because there is no V.A.T on them]
                        Then again.. There are dealers who add the transportation cost if they are sub dealers.. Must have been the case maybe.

                          Have been on the lookout for a visor for my NS for quite some time now. There are a couple of folks who manufacture and supply visors for the Pulsar NS. Rtm designs and Hindustan Motorcycle. Look them up on Facebook for their contact details. Had contacted RTM designs via whatsapp but they were out of stock. Had emailed the Hindustan Motorcycle folks enquiring about their stock and received a response but am yet to receive a reply since the last week about a couple of things that I had asked them via email.

                          They also used to have brackets (in their pics on Facebook) for luggage on the NS but seems they stopped making them.

                          The NS is a seriously good bike for touring but am very surprised at the lack of accessories / aftermarket parts for it. A good visor / windshield, rear rack for carrying bags / supporting saddlebags and foglamps possibly with their own power source would help transform this "Transformer" into a very good bike for really long distances

                          If anyone knows where we can get aftermarket fitments for the NS, pls post!! Ride safe

                            [MENTION=5506]a_poor_blind_kid[/MENTION]:Thanks for the info bro!! I searched on FB and found Hindustan Motorcycles but was not so fortunate with RTM Designs. The pics on the FB page sugests they have done some work with NS Touring accesories.Couple of pics that we will be interested in are

                            These guys are from Chennai and by the looks of location they have shot the pics, they might be students in SRM University. Wonder if these guys are in our forum.
                            [MENTION=63830]deep007[/MENTION] you can check out the pics for suggestions.

                            This will definitely make NS a complete package for touring.

                            Cheers

                              Yeah it was a tad high, mainly because of items and the respective labour costs for things like sprocket change, cone set and also opening up the engine for tappet adjustment and checking the wear and remaining life of clutch plates.

                              My diaphragm replacement was also long overdue and I also had an additional item, the lock set which had to be installed.
