Check tyre pressure according to solo or with pillion ride,adjust chain,check engine oil and coolant level and its always advisable to carry chain spray on a long ride.

Here is the pic bro...
And after talking to you guys...
I went to SVC guy... But he told me that these cannot be reconditioned... But all the other model pulsar shocks can be reconditioned...
So... Can you guide me with this pic... Please...

Re: Pulsar 200 NS Owners Review and Experiences

chain sprocket kit cost is mentioned on some sites as 1209/-. Does it include the chain too or just the front and back sprockets?

I don\'t think that you\'ll get it accurately that way. Its just my experience that even in full tank to tank it differ so i calculate two full tank basis.

Re: Pulsar 200 NS Owners Review and Experiences

I am planning to buy 200NS Red and black.

Current price of 200NS is 109150 in bangalore as on 9-Jan-2015.

I intially planned to upgrade either 200NS or duke 390. First took 390 test drive in Marathahalli KTM.( I know its apple and orange i prefered 390 for ABS/good tyres and Powerful engine)

suddenly got crazy about duke 390 not only because of the engine power but the style+weight+ABS+tyres and cornering ability it had( i could feel all this when i was driving the bike)

The bike was simply superb and i never seen such a powerful bike so far. was saving money to buy 390.

But again my mind was asking me to go for 200NS. so just like that i went for test drive last friday.

what a bike it is. such a beautiful bike(didnt like the style that much when i see it in internet/youtube or while seeing in traffic but when i saw it in person and i sat on it, i fell in love) from bajaj and the engine is amazing.

My need for bike is 22 days office commute(currently in Marathahalli and planning to move to bommanahalli in coming months so from bommanahalli to Vydehi 20+20 Kms 2 ways daily ride) and monthly once or once in two months trip to my home in Nilgiris in ooty taluk 240 kms from bangalore oneway.

So please let me know if 200NS will fulfil my needs.

and i need 200NS with MRF tyres. Please let me know where i can get the same(Reason: When i took test drive in Khivraj motors last week near Hoodi ITPL. i was driving around 60-70 kmph, suddenly had to apply breaks. as always i just applied 70% fron break and 30% back break-no hard breaking. back tire almost came to sideways and almost went skidding luckily i released the breaks and bike came to normal.. ).

Any other suggestions are welcome and i am planning to book in Jan end.

Re: Pulsar 200 NS Owners Review and Experiences

Given your utility (40km Daily commute) and the choices, the sane choice is the 200NS!
Unless your route is almost full of empty straights, in which case the Duke is just unbeatable !
But overall the NS is a sensible ride, amazing engine, good looks and extreme value for money.
Also, the bike is really good for touring so your 240km ride should be a pleasure..

And just ask the dealer to give only the MRF version and they will get it.
keep in mind that rate revision due to excise duties is going to kick in real soon. So get it ASAP.

PS - if you want ABS at a lower end vehicle think about the Apache, but if and only if, safety > overall package.

Re: Pulsar 200 NS Owners Review and Experiences

Hi fellow NSians,

Just a quick update on my new 200ns and also a few queries:

Got the number last Thursday and have already clocked 400 odd kms. Took the bike for a 200km ride (100km each side) and ensured speed was between 50-60 all the time. Never took the RPM beyond 5k (actually it was mostly between 3k-4k). At a couple of instances took the bike to 70kmph but only for the moment and came back to the around 54-55. The bike responded great, never felt tired or short of power. Have read lot of posts that the bike shouldn\'t be kept at the same speed for long but the highway was too smooth to keep the speed fluctuating. So had to be at the same speed most of the time. Well, have rode 100 kms already post this ride and never faced any major issues. Just a few questions as below:

1. Have I done anything which will ruin the performance in long run; like a long ride even on a brand new engine? Although took a couple breaks of 5 mins in between.

2. The RPM fluctuates when the bike is heated up mostly during B2B traffic. Starts at 1.4,1.5 in the morning and goes to 2-2.5 in heavy traffic conditions. Guess this is normal considering the 1st service is not yet done? Please confirm.

3. There is a slight noise from from like \'tik\' on very small to small bumps. Not even bumps actually, like if the surface/road is a little bad, this noise is audible without a helmet. Guess it\'s the Kon set making noise? would it be covered under first service?

4. Planning to do the first service at around 500kms, which would definitely be completed by this Sunday (as we have planned a short ride again on Sunday). So guess I would need to:
a. change Engine Oil,
b. Kon setting/greasing,
c. Chain Lubrication (as it already is looking dry),
d. service as per the checklist given by Bajaj,
e. fitting of main stand,
f. buying chain spray.
Is there anything else to be covered during the first service?

RANT:wrong side driving idiots

I recently had a minor accident which could have been major if i hadn\'t braked on time. everyday i take Yamuna Expressway to go my college so as usual i was leaving home and just outside my locality as i took a u turn from side to go in main lane an idiot coming at 80+ in his car on the wrong side<img src=\"http://www.xbhp.com/talkies/images/smilies/mad.png\" border=\"0\" alt=\"\" title=\"Mad\" smilieid=\"8\" class=\"inlineimg\"> came in front of me.

As instinct would work i had to slam the brakes and move aside due to which my new NS 200 took a fall on the left<img src=\"http://www.xbhp.com/talkies/images/smilies/apologetic.png\" border=\"0\" alt=\"\" title=\"Apologetic\" smilieid=\"22\" class=\"inlineimg\"> side breaking a rear view, the leg gaurd and my shifter went out of alignment with scratches on my damper and clutch lever.

As of me i got hurt on my knee and that asshole son of a ***** didn\'t bother to stop. I picked up the bike went to the hospital got the dressing and injections and went to college.
Got the rear view and leg gaurd replaced and the SVC repairman was good and mended the shifter to as new by just replacing some bolts.

But i just hate to see my new baby with scratches and although the fall was at max 35 i am afraid if the chassis or handlebars are all right and in alignment perfectly because on my Apache due to an accident there was a slight bend in my chassis but i just hope it works fine as i am not able to ride now a days nut my brother says it is perfectly fine.

And i would like to appraise Bajaj as the total bill of repairs was just 376 INR which was way low my expectation

well

No.1 if you kept the bike in the limit it should be there won\'t be any problem

No.2 Yes once the NS heats up the idling range moves upto 2-2.5K and it\'s not wo be worried about

No.3 The tik tik is your monoshock which is kinda like setting up as it moves because the bike is a week old and kon set problem is out of question as the SVC does a checkup of the bike before handing it to you

Re: Pulsar 200 NS Owners Review and Experiences

Here\\\\\\\'s my SAD Short Story.

While coming back from Lonavla, on heading home, my pulsar broke down in the middle of the highway while cruising at speeds of 110kmph. It behaved as if there was no fuel. Tried doing down shift but that did not bring bike back to life. Took it to the side of the road. Called my friend (who owns 200NS) to that spot. I just didnt feel right leaving the bike there.
Now till he comes i was looking for nearby mechanic, who could sort the issue. The mechanic first said that the battery is Dead. I dont know how coz i purchased it 15days back. And after he putting other battery, the bike took self but didnt give current to the plugs. Till that time friend had come and since his bike is also same model, mechanic tried his CDI in my bike. And the bike started. Now unfortunately the shops out there didnt have CDI of NS. So since we found out the fault, mechanic told us to take the bike simply buy a new CDI and put it, so we put all the parts back together and towed the bike till my home. Took rest.

Next day bought a CDI for 900rs. Put in my friends bike to test, it was working. So now put in mine and since battery was dead we pushed start it. The bike came alive and then again stopped within 10 seconds. Again tried push starting but this time bike didnt respond. Took it to my trusted mechanic. Says NEW CDI got spoilt. Says gotta check wiring, and meanwhile gave the battery to charging. Battery wala says battery is not taking charging and it is completely dead. Luckily i had warranty so immediately went to the exide dealer and got replacement.
How ever after getting new battery and second new CDI we tried starting, the bike started without any fuss. I was happy and ready to leave the garage. How ever the battery wala insisted on checking the rectifier, we got to know that at above 5-7k rpms the bike is generating excess of voltage meaning overcharging. The Stock condition should give anywhere between 13-14.5volt, my 200NS was making 18volt. Put my friends rectifier and checked, it was 13.xx volts.

Luckily i didnt leave without checking the rectifier or else i would have been in this situation again in future, in a never ending cycle of changing Battery and CDI\\\\\\\'s.

Finally had to replace rectifier as well. All in all my 200ns broke down in the middle of the road. Rectifier making crazy volts and blowing up the battery and these two going kaput blows the CDI as well (twice).

Now it makes sense why some people dont like the idea of travelling long distances on bike.


Cost of Rectifier 700rs.
Cost of CDI 900rs x 2
Mechanic charges 250 + Highway mechanic 150

Almost 3500rs just coz of faulty rectifier.
