Alternately, you can set to 1400 when hot, but that would mean about 1000 in cold start, the engine may not start firing in cold weather. For this, turn the throttle a little bit and hit the starter button. Cheers !

That indeed needs to be checked bro. I hope it does not shoot 1700 rpm, because if that happens, I will have to again reduce the rpm which may again take me back to square one.

Would then try your suggestion of turning the throttle on a li'l bit. Right now, I'm loving the bike getting on within 2 seconds. Will update after driving the bike for sometime...Thanks.

Hi all, My bike is going to cross 5k. And the tappet noise has increased. However, I can give her the service only after a month. Now, what is my confusion is, the user manual says, tighten the tappet on cold engine. But the Internet says, it is just opposite. You may have tighten up your tappets, and got rid of noise. clarify my doubt regarding this. Thank you.

You have to let the engine completely cool down before doing anything on the tappets. Don't even start your bike for a good 3 or 4 hours before doing work on the tappets. Thats why i do the tappet work myself or if i don't have time push the bike to the local mechanic (my mechanic is situated just 300 meters away

). You could leave it at your desired workshop on the previous night and ask them to work on it the next day.Don't leave your bike's key with them. The clearances involved are extremely small and you cant set the gaps properly if the engine is even slightly hot. Setting them wrongly will damage them and lead to more trouble.

Never attempt it at hot. Best bet is to do it next day morning. You need to have the necessary tool set as well. Or you can take it to workshop and make them do it in front of you. Never leave your bike

Hey friends,

Has anybody here tried the Viaterra Wolf saddle bag here? I was planning to buy one for my RS200 and this bag seems to be designed specifically for Pulsar NS and AS, so I think it would fit my RS too.

It wouldn't fit the rs.
As the bag depends on the rear handle grip.
Which is not same in rs as in ns.
So srry it wouldn't.

Thanks for the reply, but could you please tell me about pillion comfort with this saddle bag?

Regarding the rear handle grip, I'll go to the showroom and see if any jugaad could be done...

Makes it hard for the pillion to climb on.
With a little compromise in left leg position it's a good go.

Pillions leg will be pushed a little front from the ideal position on the rear foot peg.
He/she will require to balance leg on the heel area.

Re: Pulsar 200 NS Owners Review and Experiences

Talking about engine oils today I went o service centre and have put the Motul 3100.what I really wanted to know if its safe to put it.is it a mineral oil and also should I go back to Bajaj dtsi until I complete 2000kms.
Currently its reading 800 in odo.
My concern is someone told me its not at all good for the 200 to play around with 3100 because it's a mineral oil where as the 200 comes with semi synthetic.please clarify

Re: Pulsar 200 NS Owners Review and Experiences

I have heard that 3100 is ss and 3000 is mineral.

Have used 3000 for around 7k kms and its better than bajaj oil.

I had the Viaterra Velox saddlebags but they got damaged due to the friction with the exposed part of the tyre...Really miss a decent saree guard or at least something to prevent saddlebags from coming in contact with the tyre

So the Velox is a definite No!!

Got the Viaterra Wolf recently and haven't had a chance to test them out as much as I would like to. will post my experience here soon. Btw, the Viaterra folk are the most helpful guys in terms of Customer Service. If you ride solo,their Claw is a good option. My friend made a 10 day ride on his Inazuma and was all praise for it's utility. Won't work for me though as I prefer making rides with my partner.

Don't worry much. Oil leakage will not be a problem unless you are off limits. Just make sure the oil is within the marks. But if you find this frequent say, every day parked at office or at your home, it needs to be checked, eventually you will lose the oil.
Few reasons
1. Too much oil
2. oil gasket or o-ring wear\tear
3. Poor service, resulting in improper bolting or screwing.

You can make sure from where you are getting the leak. Have these options in and approach the service center.

Right said Bro...!!!

Hi guys, wanted to give an update:
Took the bike to the service center today and the guys there confirmed that the leakage was that of the the coolant because during the first service, the coolant was filled beyond the maximum mark, which might have expanded due to heat and leaked through a pipe (an outlet) he showed me from where excessive coolant is given out. So basically, the leakage had got nothing to do with the engine itself (or any kind of oil in the bike), which was a relieving fact. And there has been no leakage whatsoever in last 2 days, even when the service guys today revved the bike hard to take the engine's temperature beyond 90 degrees; there was not a single drop of leakage to be seen anywhere. Finally, the service guy removed the excessive coolant to reduce its level within the min and max marks. Thanks for your help guys.

Bro, stay with Bajaj oil until your second service. Don't rush and switch oil. Setup your engine first... If engine is set well, oil wouldn't make much difference. Fact is bajaj oil doesn't last till 5000kms as it suggests. 3000kms is fine..... Post 5000kms, you can change to 7100/5100
