Put it in gear and try the same. If the noise still exists you need to open up the clutch side cover and inspect the clutch basket, the plates might not have been torqued properly.

Re: Pulsar 200 NS Owners Review and Experiences

Is your bike new one or what?

And as far as i know left side going issue persist in all NS...

Do you feel bike is just left biased or feel like bike is gonna fall left side?

Re: Pulsar 200 NS Owners Review and Experiences

New. Done only 950 odo (21 days old)
Edit- i feel like after leaving handle bars it is slightly going left side.

Re: Pulsar 200 NS Owners Review and Experiences

The tappets on my bike were adjusted and the knocking stopped but the power loss at high speeds and when the engine heats up is still there.
Tappets will make noise and adjustments will be needed from time to time.

I am always bewildered by seeing other guys zipping past on their NSs and I can barely hear their engines. All I can hear clearly is noise from their chain drives.

Veering to the left is a very common issue. I have not found any permanent solutions either.

And thanks so much for the update.

Re: Pulsar 200 NS Owners Review and Experiences

I feel that number of ns users are increasing rapidly seeing the rate of comments here.

Re: Pulsar 200 NS Owners Review and Experiences

I'll take that as a complement. [emoji1]

Re: Pulsar 200 NS Owners Review and Experiences

It is. With bajaj taking feedbacks seriously and resolving niggles, has put this bike as a very good prospect.

Re: Pulsar 200 NS Owners Review and Experiences

How does one come to know what is tappet sound and when does it happen (odo reading)?

Re: Pulsar 200 NS Owners Review and Experiences

I have sent across a beautifully comprehended mail to Bajaj for providing platina toolkit with my bike.

Re: Pulsar 200 NS Owners Review and Experiences

I've also asked the same query earlier but nobody responded

Ride the for 10-15 mins so that engine is not cold. Then park it with engine running in neutral. Bend down as if you are looking at engine closely. There will be a tic-tic sound coming from engine, somewhat similar to a barber's scissor. You can also increase the accelerator slightly so that rpm increases slightly to 2500-3000 approx. If you are not able to hear it when idling at 1400-1500 rpm.

You can also do it on a cold engine, but generally tappet noise is less in a cold engine.

Some amount of tappet noise will be there even in an engine in perfect condition unless the bike is totally brand new. So to identify whether the tappet noise has increased considerably that it needs adjustment, comes with experience.

Do not confuse tappet noise (tic-tic) with another dug-dug sound which may be present in old bikes.

Further adjustment of tappets depends on riding habits and expertise of mechanic. With the tools available to local mechanics and even some authorised service centers and skills of mechanic, it is very difficult to set it 100% perfect, so generally most mechanics adjust it slightly loose as slightly loose tappets do less harm then too tight tappets.

If tappets are tightened too much there will not be any clearance left and upon high revving or high speed runs, valve stem may get bent or valves may not close properly causing leakage and power loss causing bigger problems coz metal expands on heating.

For example- my mechanic always keep my bikes tappets very slightly loose he knows i am very fond of full throttle burts every now and then.

Hope this helps.
