    Around a corner, it's best to avoid braking. If it's a smooth corner with no traffic/pedestrians, then you should increase throttle from 4k to 6k gradually on any gear.

    If there is a need to slow down suddenly, it's best to straighten up the bike as much as possible before applying the brakes. If you manage to get it upright, then you should do the normal braking. Otherwise, you should only try to slow down. Full front brake will make your front slip and you'll wreck your face. Full rear brake will lock up the wheel and you'll skid into the wall. Same result. You'll wreck yourself.

    But using the rear brake no way lifts up the bike. Sorry.
    Think you are wrong....rear will lift up acctually and even bosch has found a solution and technology for this as "rear wheel lift up mitigation system"...

      It won't. See a few videos on performing stoppies/endos. For the rear to rise up, the weight should be borne by front wheels which is accomplished by using the front brakes. If you observe carefully, the front suspension dives whenever you depress the front brake. That's due to the weight shifting to the front wheel.
      Dabbing the rear brake will actually help you perform a wheelie on a powerful enough bike.

          Hello guys,
          My chain might be at the end of its life, so time to get a new set.
          Do we have any good after market options? Or should I opt for the stock chain/sprocket set.

          Regards

Its not there when i start the bike, but the rough feeling comes after riding for 10-15 minute. bike have done 23K. bike chain is well lubricated and slack seems to be good.

            any suggestions/input?
            Bike wont feel the same at all times, atmospheric factors, operation temperature, fluids used etc could bring a difference in performance. Just ensure that everything is perfectly stock and in perfect condition and you wont be facing any issues.

              thnaks all.

              anilupadhya, I haven't asked them to make any chnge in afr, but not sure if they have done any thing during last servie, will surely check after changin it.

              ashwinprakas, issue is all the time after driving for around 10 minute I could feel the rough/ harsh engine behaviour. thats making me worry.

              Also one more thing noticed the clutch seems to engage/ disengage with in a small movement of clutch lever, like almost with in .5 cm.Is it normal? so I am feeling the loss in power or a sudden jump with in a small clutch level movement. I think enough free play is there.

                Happens its a machine, no need to worry as long as the oil is changed as per use.

                Dont mess with the AFR setting, set it at 3~3.5 turns which is universal optimum range for an adequately jetted CV carb. Plus too much tweaking would result in a really inconvenient air leak.

                Ensure that there is adequate clutch free play, and the rest would be fine. I usually do it by loosening the cable, then inserting the key into the gap and tightening the cable.

                  Can you throw some light on how the Carb adjustment is creating the roughness?

                  • Re: Pulsar 200 NS Owners Review and Experiences

                    Its been a long time I've posted in this thread. My bike has clocked around 25k kms and is almost 2.5yrs old. My bike has always been a hassle free ride but lately its giving a hell lot of problems.

                    My bike had met with an accident while my friend was riding it. It was quite a serious one and he just got away from death. The bike had suffered quite a damage and I got it repaired from a svc under insurance. That service center had been referred to me by one of my friends whose an active member of this forum.

                    Before giving my bike to the svc my bike had been super smooth and performance wise was the best in town. Only grouse was some "tik tik" noise coming from the top of the engine which I suspected to be tappet noise. After all the accidental repair was carried out the svc manager called up and said that my bike's engine was in a very bad condition and that the only option to get it right was to get the crank,the valves,cylinder,piston changed. After a bit of thinking I asked him to leave the engine as it is and simply change the clutch and the spark plugs if necessary. Afterwards he called me up and said that the problem is with some crank bush which will cost around 500rs. I asked him to get it changed and do the remaining work. When I went to get my bike I noticed that there were various scratches on the tank and other parts and the work didn't seem satisfactory. I didn't have the energy to put up a fight so I got back my bike anyway.

                    While going back to home I noticed that the handle pulled sharply to one side and while braking it used to sway like hell. The whole front suspension,the alloy ,front disc plate was new.
                    I called the svc manager and reported him the problem, he said to go to my local mechanic and get everything refitted. While I was at my local mechanic getting the things sorted out I noticed that the ball racer had not been changed and I had been charged for it. Even the spark plug was different from what bajaj specifies. After a few hundred kms found out that the coolant was low. Again got it checked by my local mechanic. The culprit was the head gasket. Though it looked fine it was leaking coolant inside the engine.

                    Since the day I had got the bike from the svc after the repairs I used to have starting problems. The bike never used to idle properly even after using choke for more than 2 mins. After reporting this to the manager he said thats because of new crank bushes and after a few kms it will get sorted out.

                    Currently my bike is in a very sorry state. It needs to be revved hard while starting each and every time. While going through a bumper or while slowing down it gets switched of. I'm currently in my college so haven't got a chance to get it checked by my trusted mechanic. Though I've got it checked here. The mechanic here claims that the tappets are tight and theres problem with the carburettor. I'm in a serious dilemma what to do.

                    The spark plugs im currently using is RG4HC while bajaj recommends RG6HCC. Plzz guys need your help. Experts plzz advice.

                      Another problem I'm currently facing is that there's a lot of clanking noise from inside the exhaust. And while revving hard it seems as though theres some misfiring occuring. The bike has lost its top end. It hardly reaches 132 kmph. Earlier it could easily do 145kmph. Also the chain is creating a lot of noise. Had the front sprocket changed as it was broken. The rear sprocket and the chain are in great condition. Helpppp.......

                          Get the coneset changed. Then, set the AFR to factory spec. Replace all spark plugs to OE spec. Since coolant has leaked in the engine, it would need inspection. Get the valve clearance checked with FEELER GAUGE only. Decarb the engine head once. You may need to follow running in again.

                            Ive got the handle thing rectified. Got the front suspension opened and refitted. Now the pulling thing is gone but its still not perfect. The front tire was also fitted in the wrong way. After some heated talks the svc manager he gave me a new ball racer kit though its not the KTM one which I had used earlier. He says that the part has changed but another svc has the KTM part. Regarding the coolant leak. Had got the head opened last week. The coolant was leaking from the head gasket. Got that changed too but still the coolant is disappearing albeit not that quickly. Air is leaking from the junction where the carburettor gets attached to the engine. The head has been decarbonised.

                            Did a 100km round trip now. The bike refuses to idle properly. While depressing the clutch the engine idles at about 3k rpm then if I leave it for a minute it finally idles to a very unstable 1.5k rpm and finally dies out. Also at around 6k rpm it seems as if there's no fuel. Can it be the carburettor diaphragm ?? The acceleration is also very harsh.
