Masseter sx 140/70 front 110/70
Zapper fy1

Coolant: Since there was no coolant leak, it was never replaced, only topup by service center, one or two times. I have read online that there is no need to replace it if there is no leakage or if it is clean.

hello bro,

since you've ridden ns 200 for a very long time will like to ask you a few questions...

which engine oil you were using and for how many kms (drain interval)

which coolant you were using and when to replace the coolant.

BTW which bike you're currently using.

thanks alot in advance.

You can even go with Apolo Alpha H1 tyres, available in 130 and 140 sizes, people on xbhp as well as tbhp have used it and praised it a lot, the prices are economical as well. Available on Amazon as well, it's a fairly new tyre so you won't be sent a old manufactured tyre for sure. Read the reviews on Amazon for 150/70 size

Thanks a lot, mate!

The size is 140/70-17, there was no issue with the installation, go for it

Hey! Thanks for the prompt reply. Is it 140/60 or 140/70? Was there any problems in installation?

My friend is using MRF messeter on his ns which is a size 140 tyre, he is facing no issues with the tyre and is very happy with the performance. Messeter is the stock tyre on R15 V3 by the way

Hey guys! I am going to get the rear tyre of my 200 NS changed soon and I was wondering if an upsize 140 section tyre could fit because the mud flap near the rear suspension is very narrow. Has anyone tried it?

Thank you.

He does say he is bought the rtr now in the first few lines.

Hi friends, i've just sold off my pulsar 200ns 2015 model after clocking 95k kms. I think i am eligible enough now to comment on its pros and cons. I've now purchased a rtr2004v ABS and i'll comment about it too in the end of this post.


Pros


1. In engine, vibrations are there, a lot. But that's its characteristic as its a rev happy engine and i have ran it at 120kmph on Agra Yamuna expressway for 2hrs continuosly. No signs of engine overheating ever.
2. Best in segment Engine Power
2. Build quality of 200ns is way better than rtr2004v. I don't know what's wrong with the reviews on youtube, which says rtr200 better than 200ns. Pulsar 200ns is more robust, for example, its tyre hugger is build over a solid metal bracket, which, in my case, sustained impact of two cars in a single accident from the rear. Bike didn't suffered any damage at all.
3. Very beautiful instrument cluster backlit illumination
4. Long life - myself covered 95,000 km without piston-ring change, without clutch plate change, just 1 chainset change (@55k km), 1 time CDI change, without magnet change , just 1 radiator fan change. Even the clutch and brake levers didn't loose paint in 4years and 95k kms.
5. Completed a leh-ladakh trip, ofcourse after a specialized service in leh itself.
6. Due to plain design, the bike is easy to clean everyday.
7. On curves, 200NS is very planted due to stiffer suspension


Cons


1. Not for DIY people. Service and repairing is very complicated. Road-side mechanics can not repair it. e.g. Air filter and main spark plug are placed below fuel tank, which is absolutly idiotic. You need to unmount the whole fuel tank to access the spark plug or air filter or to set tappet. That's the sole reason i didn't bought Dominar, after selling the 200NS.
2. CDI is not reliable, in my case. On the highway, when radiator fan went kaput, my bike lost ignition current on the highway due to fault in CDI caused by the fan. It may be a one-off case but still worth mentioning.
3. High seat height. Not for short riders. I am 5'9"
4. Absolutely no place to add accessories like extra horn, aux lights, mobile charger, switches. I somehow managed to add all these but that was a very tight fit.
5. Weak headlight
6. Gear lever needs to be changed every 10k-15K kms, in my case. This is a design defect which gradually reduces the grip to move the gear shaft and it is a serious issue.
7. Hard seat cushioning. I had to add a 2inch foam sheet to the rider seat.
8. Rattles for the first 20k kms and rear brake sqeaky sound after every rear brake-pad change




How's it compared to Apache rtr2004v: Overall, i strongly feel that after selecting rtr2004v over 200NS, i've actually downgraded. The rtr200 is not durable as its flimsy parts suggests. The slipper clutch lever is light by 15%-20%, if compared to 200NS. Yes, rtr200 dual channel ABS comes as a saviour and Soft suspension in rtr200 gives better side quality by about 5%-10%. Fuel economy is also similar.


If you are over 5.6, and intends to ride it in a city (due to avaliability of good mechanics) then choose 200NS otherwise look at other options. Happy Riding.
