    please dont use sms language as it will be deleted by mods hope you correct it next time you ask a question
    vibrations can be reduced by tightning bolts at regular intervals and adding double side gum tape wherever neccessary. bike is not meant to ride below 3000 rpm hence you can expect some vibes at 2000-3000 rpm near footpegs and tank. no vibes are expreienced at top end for proof i have ridden this bike at 138 kmph and no vibes it floats softly . and for reliability this is not the old bajaj engine as its derived from ktm duke 200 and hence it should prove its reliability for 5-6 years easily [emoji4]

      yeah..thanks a lot dude..i will correct it from now. and heard from somewhere that bajaj has stopped manufacturing NS temporarily..I know about reliability of 200NS..but the alloy wheel breakage of RS200 confused me a bit and launch of 150NS,same as 200NS in certain angles too..

        to increase the production of rs200 and as200 bajaj stoped the production for some time.but now it has started the production due to demand for ns200 in indian market hence stopping production is unreal as of now as i have contacted bajaj svc and clarified.rs200 alloy wheel breakage incident is only a incident bajaj for sure will take care of it [emoji4].and 150cc is not value for money and hence i dont want to comment anything

          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.

          Any updates on the wolf? Pics?

            Is it a good time now to buy a pulsar 200NS?

            • Re: Pulsar 200 NS Owners Review and Experiences

              Anyone here know if the clutch release shaft for P200NS is interchangeable with P 220/180?
              200 has a non adjustable, welded shaft, 220/180 shaft can be adjusted.
              Note that i'm not talking about play adjustment.
              Clutch release point is way out on my 200. Hand aches even after a few km of riding. Thanks.

                200NS is a powerful street fighter which does wonders on track as well as highway. Simply said, an all-rounder. Look, 200ns is very powerful and quicker when compared with CBR-150. CBR-150 is pathetic in low end, very poor torque and has to rev pretty much to get speeds. You are comparing one segment down. Your comparison should be like R15 or CBR150, else NS or Duke200.

                NS does wonders in this case, you can do 90kph @ just 6200 rpm. Power\Performance is nowhere comparable with CBR-150. Two things you gain, fairing (that depends on people) and pillion. Rest all are not worth even worth talking. But CBR250 on the other side is good in lot of area, better torque, ABS which really are needed any day. The better torque of CBR250 will help you cruise slightly better say @120+ than 200NS and the fairing adds a bit more, but it is very old now and needs retiring.

                Nevertheless 200ns is a great value for money. Good for highway or long trips, as well as city unlike Dukes. And about vibes, follow proper run-in.
                If possible, get CBR250. Otherwise grab 200NS. AS is good if u prefer touring more. The fairing\wind shield helps a bit at high speeds.

                200NS\AS => Yes
                RS200 => NO

                Yes 150ns isn't a VFM when 200ns is in market. That's why I guess Bajaj is killing 200ns

                  200NS will be out of the market and its a good time to buy it while rs200 was recently launched? O.O

                    Yeah..NS is a better VFM than CBR..but i doubt about Bajaj maintenance and parts..i mean quality..esp after RS alloy issue..Some says that NS vibes at lower rpm,some says at high rpm..I wont do long trips and all..just city commuting..and does pillion wont feel comfortable for city rides in NS ?

                      If city is your main concern then do have a look at the Suzuki Gixxer. Auto Reviewers are showering praises on it also Suzuki engines are reliable. If you want fairing then Gixxer SF will serve you.
                      If you don't want a 150cc then Duke 200 all the way.

                        Firstly remove the alloy wheel case.even fz once met with the same fate.so leave it there.if u decide to past it then read the below parah..

                        You see NS200 is an awesome bike.Something like that Bajaj can come up with is a miracle.Firstly it is awesome in power.torque is enough.and at 100 speed u won't even feel 95% of the vibe.imagine that.
                        Now secondly mantainance is real less and extremely cheap.lemme tell you I had a Bajaj 180 and air filter costs 79RS.imagine that.within 5045 rs I changed Chain sprocket clutch plate filter sparks etc etc.so even If you feel the part has become wornout then replace. Will hardly cost you anything .sparkplug is about 170Rs.so no big deal.an example would be that my chain sprocket was changed at 18000kms with a good condition and at 25000kms when I sold it was still in a good condition,at least another 10km easily it can pull out.so no issues with that.....[emoji5]

                        Now CBR 150 is a horrible bike.Period.once you ride any bike with more power than your current bike you just can't digest it.I bet you.No way you can deal with it.and its heavy on mantainance.no reason stall to buy cbr150 .just looks.do you know brother,it uses the parts of cb twister.beat that!!

                        I have currently pulsar AS200.And the only bike I can trade for it is Yamaha r15.what a bike.extreme precision handling,sports feel,awesome rippable engine.....wow that's a package.but suicidial pillon comfort!

                        So if you need to decide then pulsar 200.or else r15.try a test drive on both at the same Date and feel the difference and buy the one which you like most.

                          yeah thank you dude..I'm much concerned about pillion comfort,so no R15..i opted CBR for nothing,just for Honda reliability and pillion comfort..as i said,i wont do long drives..so for city rides,the comfort provided by NS is enough na ?? and I had always negative remarks for Bajaj reliability..but NS is exception IMO..my bike must last for AT LEAST 5 yrs....

                            Guys... Yesterday I did some experiment with my ns. I drilled the sides of a box that is on top of the stock exhaust. It was an empty box.
                            Now the bike just sounds so awesome. It has the grunt some aftermarket exhausts give you. So far... I don't notice any change in performance, may be a little better low end.
                            Can't comment on the mileage yet.
                            But.... There is a smell of petrol coming after I ride.
                            Do u have any idea why is it like that?
                            Don't see any leakage or anything.

                            Drilling the exhaust or installing a free flow slip on will alow more air out and make the afr lean right?
                            But I don't happen to have cold start problems or any whitish smoke coming from exhaust... So should I tune the carb anyway?

                              Yeah then no doubt you can check ns or even 200as . it has even better head lights.
                              It can even last 7-8 years if you maintain it a little.just engine oil change at certain interval

                                Don't see any leakage or anything.

                                Drilling the exhaust or installing a free flow slip on will alow more air out and make the afr lean right?
                                But I don't happen to have cold start problems or any whitish smoke coming from exhaust... So should I tune the carb anyway?
                                Why would you do that !
