I presume you did a good thing by that 2 bookings..i will try tomorrow in adayar....

khivraj is offering test rides on magrath road.
Somehow liked the red better than the yellow. Awesome road presence.. Seating is slightly higer than the regular pulsar.. Sounds a little more angrier than rhe current pulsar.. Not as aggresive sounding as the duke.. Will put in more after a through test ride

Pointless review..

Hello NS Owners and perspective owners.

I guess its time to ride.. oops Write a detailed ownership review of MY 200 NS. (its important that you note that I have ridden my bike and am going to write the ownership experience of that only, other bikes may have other issues or might not have the issue that I have)

Also note: Whatever I am writing here is not after reading some forum but from my Experiences.

Date of Purchase - 13.06.2012
Date of DeliveryTotal kilometresNo. of days my bike was in Service centre5. Mileage: 35-38kmpl P.S. I use normal petrol, speed k liyea paise nahi hai.. :P








6. Issues that I have faced in these ~2700 kms
1. Bike drifts to the left at low speeds, but this does not hinder my ride quality.
2. Post 6k rpm the front small visor makes noise due to vibrations
3. The neutral light fickers sometimes
4. The gear box is very very smooth but i had false neutrals 2-3 times. Is that ok?
5. Even after having the rear tyre hugger, the bike throws dirt on you (only when riding at high speeeds)
6. There is a constant noise that is coming from the front of the bike. This issue is not sorted yet.

HEAT ISSUES ??7. After Sales-Service- 2.5/5

The service centre guys surely needs to know more about the bike, my bike has been in the service centre for a total of 5 days (excluding the 1st service day) in the last one month. They svc guys claimed to have rectified issue 2 and 6 last week after keeping my bike for 3 days, but after 10 kms things were back to normal. Now again my bike is with them.
I did not have any performance based issues with my bike.
Am I happy with the quality of after sales service? NO

Yup even I think so..
this is not very pleasant to explain it parents...

That sounds bad.
Jai Auto, Adyar are having the bike for display for more than a week and the test ride facility was available from Last Monday(July 16).
The khivraj Kovilambakkam -> the nearest Land mark is Kamak(t)shi Hospital, Pallikaranai, Near velachery ...

Nice review with even better pics. Backdrop of Nature against the Beast, too good.

I have one question, Surojit. Since you have done some off-roading, did you have any of the stones hit the radiator?

@ suro -
In Bengali we say "Phatiye diyecho guru; Just Awesome sala"

Out of all the brilliant pics, this one just blows off my mind.


It just reflects out 1 thing -PASSION

All the understandings and misunderstandings apart, its nice to see so much passion overflowing for the bike in this thread.Feels good to read so much about the bike that i can almost experience it even before riding it :-)

Suro Touro on roll along with Adkar and MG.

Good stuff... Nice to know the multitasking ability of the bike.

I just took a test drive from kalyani bajaj (mekhri circle). Man what a bike bajaj has come out with...!!!!

You must be kidding that one good review boss! straight from your heart as to what you felt!

Man!! the pics are lovely and is shows your true biking spirit, the NS in Yellow is awsome in the greeen back drop....great write up too!!!Bad that the service of Bajaj is not upto mark for a wonderful bike..thye need to get something done soon.

I took a test drive today!!!! after looking at how rohan is bieng treated here, I cudnt dare cross the limit more than 5k. later when I asked the showroom guy to ride so that I can get a feel as a pillion rider, that bloody buger reved it so hard. I tried stopping him from doing that again, he went on saying that the limit fixed by the company is between 75 - 80 kmph. Is that true????

@ surojit
Good review and brilliant pictures dude!!

Boss @rohan200NS was bashed coz of many reasons, and not only coz of ripping the new bike like mad.
As he afterwards quoted, I too agree that - while testing a bike, it must be tested thoroughly at all RPM range and every thing must be checked.
But this testing must be done on TEST Bikes, and not any othr bike which might be delivered to another owner.
Not like to go OT here, so coming bback to your question,
1)- the limit during the 1st run-in period is 45kmph AFAI remember.
2)- If the Showroom guy did that on a test bike, then its OK, otherwise you can join our Complaint to Bajaj group. Just kidding
3)- Take another PROPER test ride on a PROPER test bike.

The storm is coming!

Congratulations to every one who owns the pulsar 200ns. And good luck to everyone else waiting for their bikes.

Getting straight to my query. I would be highly appreciative if any one of the moderators could answer this.

InshaAllah, i'm expecting the bike in a weekish period. I have test ridden the bike. I absolutely LOVED it. It was extremely different to see how a bajaj ka bike had such mind blowing brakes. Then again, my brother and I, both after the test drive felt one problem. The dreaded euro grip.

So both of us decided to go and enquire at all local dealerships in chennai. On enquiring this is what we found.

Pirelli sport demon, 130/70-rear --- available.
Pirelli sport demon, 100/80-front--- not available.

I tried talking to pirelli india but couldn't get a satisfactory response as there are no official dealers in chennai. Now my questions.

1. I'm ready to pay for pirelli. But it doesn't have a warranty. when i asked the dealer he said, "mrf aur pirellie key beech mey zameen aasmaan ka farakh hai". should i be bothered about it?

2.MOST IMPORTANT QUERY
For the front tyre, Pirelli has a 100/80 size as indicated by the website. but it isn't available in any dealer in chennai. They all claim to have 110/70/80 size tyres, READY for fitting. So, will the rear 130 and front 110 give me ANY PROBLEMS at all, in the event that i'm going for the 110 in the front? Also, 110/70 or 110/80?

3. If i'm not mistaken(not completely sure), there is a 100/80 available in chennai but its a 'continental' tyre. Rear Pirelli, Front some other brand. Is it the start of a big mistake i'm going to commit?

I want to go for my pirelli pair. Upgrading from my long standing love, the 1999 Kinetic Honda,(mom's actually) i'd like my bike to be OMG.
So will the 110 front cause any problems?


I'm sorry if this was to be posted on a thread about tyres but I REALLY NEED AN ANSWER ASAP before i get my bike delivered. Hope the mods understand the urgency.

A reply asap would be MUCH appreciated.

Thanks!
