Payeng bhai. Even I have my doubts. Rohan200NS for the past few days is very critical of the 200NS almost as if convincing himself to drop the idea(or whatever remains of the NS) completely and go for the duke.
I am not saying that he has made up the vibration story out of thin air. I also can give the thought a bit of leeway that the vibs are more than the duke. But to believe it's worse than the RTR(which is kind of the vib benchmark) is stretching my imagination.
Rohan: have you ripped the duke to say around 10000 roms? it feels pretty vibey too. The foot pegs especially. The tank side panels if hugged more tightly will let you feel more vibs too. The handlebars are absolutely vib free though.
Now one thing. Do not expect a brand new bike(much so in case of the NS as it gets probably less qualified service than the duke) to be absolutely perfect(as much as it can be!!). Even my duke had vib problems on the footpegs which later lessend when I got them tightened. The trellis(or the perimeter in case of the NS) will always vib more or less.What matters is vibs reaching the rider through the handlebars and seat.
Now if the handlebars are too vibey then probably the centre bolt is loose. If not that then ok you can say there is a problem. SO I suggest you find a guy who has had a 750 -1000km service and ride his bike and then decide

This just keeps getting better and better!! I mean seriously... what are we dealing here with??

@Rohan : You red lined a "fresh bike from the stock" in dense traffic... kudos and congos!! You just ruined a brand new engine.. and from now own anyone who test rides the bike with that same engine.... would have the same observations that you had. Believe me that's not you fault at all.... in India where we have the "sab chalta hai" mentality, the dealers are giving fresh motorcycles to be test ridden... such things are bound to happen.

Engine Heating up!! Are we speaking any sense here at all!! Ever tried to understand why this might happen to a new engine?? Is that an issue at all?? We all think if there's a new bike, it can be gang raped from day one and the bike like a hooker would be eager waiting for the next dude to come and bang her (Sorry to go way overbord but really this is getting high now). A barnd new engine.. needs time to set in. Forget about the engine.. every nut and bolt, the rubber of the tyre need their time to set in. People take brand new motorcycles to do test reviews and test rides and come with all sorts of observation and here people have been using these bikes for more than 10k km and not having a single such observations, people taking NS to Leh and coming with a cosmic grine on their face... and here were are having RTR defying vibes!! I would say... we should consider ourselves lucky since the pistons didn't shoot out of the blocks!!

The dealers should always give properly runned in motorcycles for Test rides, but in Indian scenario where there is a billion population after an apple, I guess, that would be a very absurd scenario.

Please people give respect to the new engine. Just because of the fact that the NS is a new platform from Bajaj does not been it can be trashed and it won't complain. Do the same thing on a S1000RR or a R1 and see for your self what happens next

Hii..........PULSAR MANIAC's Its nice to see the 200th page of posting soo quickk...........Keep rocking and fill it more with PICS and more queries....

Great work guys.....

+1 for this.!! This was exactly what I thought. Now I am worried about buying the bike from showrooms where test drive is given. :-(

any idea when is the test drive available in chennai ?

How about Test Riding in Hyderabad...Eagerly Awaiting guys....

If he was any good with engines and stuff he wouldnt have revved the shit out of a brand new engine, that too not even in a progressive manner.
Lets just hope that if that bike is delivered, let the engine seize so the guy gets a new bike.

I tried making a point regarding issues on new batch bike to him, he just dint understand, instead came back hostile , i left the discussion for good. I suggest others do the same.


I have made my point, and i'm out of here.

This is exactly wat i was scared of.. can someone pls help me find out if someone else has thrashed my bike before i got it delivered or not??

apart from tire marks in not sure if it can be recognised, check the center patch of the tire.
rest and all a wash and disconnected speedo cable does the trick for hiding useage.

Else, draining the oil might give a fair idea maybe, just a theory, maybe seniors can point out some ways.

You know this reminds me of just today evening when I reached home from office in a record under 30 mins and all I did was zig-zag thru traffic...

The one more area where NS excels is off-roading. It handles bumps,footpaths ditches and side roads so effortlessly that it is a pleasure to ride on Mumbai roads albeit the lack of low-end torque.

Some people are just.....

oh that's a good news thanks dude...

Tiires and speedo seems to be the best and easiest options thank yopu krishna

The bike was extensively tested by our very own MG sir i believe, wonder if he even read it, before going on rambling about things like some amateur kid(sorry, you are really behaving like one).

Really its disheartening.

Speedo will be disconnected most probably, so less chance to know. But tires are the safest bet. Check the center patch for marks.

@payeng : even I am not facing any problem of vibes payeng bro. I serioously feel rohan won't be satisfied with any bike in this world.

@rohan : I would suggest you to take a bicycle. You won't get any vibes on it and you could handle it better in traffic too. You must be facing vibes in tat bike as someone like you would have ruined it by continuously redlining it. How could you red line a new bike which would soon be owned by someone else. Really that's a sick mentality of yours. I really wonder how you will choose your life partner and what all check you would perform on her. Please grow up and stop harassing people here.
