Bargain with them you will get it for 5100rs including fitting...
And they are professional in their work.

Agree with that. By the way, what tyre are you using at front?

But I haven't tried the sporty for the front...

Re: Pulsar 200 NS Owners Review and Experiences

I think you can set the mono shock one step up correct?but I m not sure whether it will create any problem like ride being stiff or height being too high? Can someone confirm

Its an indication that the rear monoshock has sagged and no longer working as it should. Which means all the vibrations and shocks will be transmitted to your back in a harsh way.

My bike had the same problem, i ignored it and paid the price. I suffered from tail bone pain which is really really bad.

I have been out of action since 2 months now and using my car now.

Please do not ignore such stuff.

Take care

How did it happen?, can you elaborate?. What would be the starting symptoms?. Will be helpful when we encounter such.

I mean did you try to adjust the setting yourself?. Right now I have it defaulted to stock, feeling stiff and good handling. Numerous times I've wanted to adjust to softer side, but my svc guy told me not to do.

Suspension sagged on its own. Symptom would be reduced seat height.

I did not adjust the settings at all, its at default.

You need not worry if your suspension is in perfect condition. Just keep an eye if it does shows such symptoms.

Bajaj bikes are full of quality issues and from day 1 my NS has been a lemon.

I am planing to sell it off very soon and this will be the last product from Bajaj/KTM for me.

Thanks for the input. Will keep an eye. Bajaj bikes(Including KTM, esp 390. While KTM is slightly better (Esp D200) as it costs more) are always of quality issues, that's 100% right. The reason behind is that they have to price it less. Just see how much a Honda CBR250, R15V2 bike sells for? and a pulsar 200 or Duke 390 sells for?. Considering both as single cylinder, KTM 390 almost doubles the performance of CBR250. KTM is like money vs Performance, while Honda/Yamaha is like money for quality & little performance(also Brand name

). Over 2-3 years I can't even imagine how bad the bike will be from Bajaj stable (Including KTM).

But sometimes some bikes get very troublesome that could be a manufacturing defect. But however with a better company, the failure rate will be negligible. whilst with Bajaj, it's simply more than success rate.

While I haven't experienced any issues yet(In 10 months of owning it). But still I conclude that this would be my last product from Bajaj (being owned 2 Bajaj products). I had no option other than 200NS at that time, even now. We need more 200cc performance bikes (not the bucket models

) from manufacturers like TVS, Hero, suzuki to help the competition improve their quality and cost.

Most probably my next bike would be Mojo, which has used many premium class spares and a top notch quality from reputed brands. Hope to see it on flesh.

You are right about the cost cutting part.

I have also owned 2 bikes from Bajaj and hence this decision.

If options are less at your budget, then rather than going for Bajaj product its better to wait, save more and spend on something better.

My next option would be Yamaha, Honda or Kawasaki.

I am done with Indian manufacturers.
