Re: Pulsar 200 NS Owners Review and Experiences

After reading [MENTION=57147]santo[/MENTION]'s post i checked my coolant hose and found some coolant leaking from hose
is it normal ??
or time to replace coolant hose???

Re: Pulsar 200 NS Owners Review and Experiences

This ain't normal. Coolant should come out only from overflow tube. Change the hose.

Re: Pulsar 200 NS Owners Review and Experiences

Ahh... A bad new this morning to read...
I don't know what you have done, a water wash caused this?. You should not have driven the bike after seeing the coolant mixing with the engine oil. The gasket should have blown and let in the coolant in.

But anyway, first things first,
1. Drain both the coolant and engine oil completely.
2. Warning!!!, the coolant does not undergo compression. Remove the spark plug and see if it has reached above piston
3. After draining everything, get another vehicle or a friends help and take her to service center (by pushing the bike in neutral through another bike). My friend did that for 30KMs when his engine was ceased.

Please no more starting attempts before a complete overhaul. You might want to clean the engine before using with your brand oil. You can use some engine cleaning solution.
If you know what you are doing, then it's fine and keep us posted, but I'd recommend to take her to a proper svc and get it fixed.

No, it should not leak. What's your coolant level?.

Re: Pulsar 200 NS Owners Review and Experiences

Jst below max level

Re: Pulsar 200 NS Owners Review and Experiences

My beast is lying untouched in pristine condition since a few weeks now. Can't ride due to neck n shoulder pain. Doc says to do physio which i will start next week. Hoping to get better soon. But I have a question - Is it safe to ride post the recovery? I have always loved long rides and don't wanna give up riding forever. I know it's not a health forum but has anyone experienced this before? What's your take?

Re: Pulsar 200 NS Owners Review and Experiences

I have a shoulder problem from past 10 years but riding with it. Sometimes it aggravates a lot when I take precautions and don't ride for 10-15 days

If your problem has just started and you are very young then you can correct it almost 100% by exercise and making the neck muscles strong. Don't neglect it and you will be fine

Re: Pulsar 200 NS Owners Review and Experiences

I think your T assembly is okay, just need to tighten the clamp. If it doesn't solve your issue, replace both the clamps and the coolant T pipe.

Part number for the clams (You need 2 clamps) is JG 6012 09 and for the T coolant pipe, it's JL 6012 08, you'll have to replace the O ring while replacing the T coolant pipe, the part number for the O ring is JG 6012 21.

Re: Pulsar 200 NS Owners Review and Experiences

Thank u for ur concern, as I have said it I have figured out the root cause of the problem which is with o-rings between balancer shaft and water pump impeller there is no need to panic.[emoji6] and IMHO the head gasket is not that easy to get damaged and even if it does the bike should make abnormal sounds which in my case wasn't there.

I have drained both the engine oil and coolant, will check with the any minaral oil after setting new seals and replace it with motul 7100

Re: Pulsar 200 NS Owners Review and Experiences

I have this left shoulder pain which remainds me not to trust a drunk friend who tells u not to worry while he's driving[emoji13] . It does feel some times when I ride for more than 50+ kms but I must tell u physio is key to get in shape n don't stop it just as pain goes like I did[emoji6]

Wish u a speedy recovery n do hit the road soon

Re: Pulsar 200 NS Owners Review and Experiences

Okay, you have asked... Let me tell my story.

The maximum that I have travelled so far is 220 KMs and nothing more. My body does not withstand more than that for a day. I know my limit. I have also done up to 160 KMs on Activa which again has it's own problem.

Few health issues that I have experienced
1. Wrist pain (throttle) and finger pain (Clutch)
2. Shoulder aches and neck(slightly due to helmet weight)
3. Groin numbness (this is risky)
4. Knee joints pain (as we fold our legs to foot pegs
5. Body shakiness (due to some 2nd or 3rd order of engine harmonics propagating to our body)

All these will put me tiresome after the journey. Last time I rode to a place 95KMs in ~70 minutes, while maintaining 110 kph strictly on speedo and 90 kph at some places. That was my fastest ride history ever. After reaching the destination (temple), I felt the all said symptoms the moment getting off the bike. In another 40 minutes of time, I left and came back to home the same distance with extreme tiredness and too much fatigue. I checked with doctor, he warned me of few things

1. Numbness esp in groin area is not good and risky (erectile dysfunction, penile blood supply, nerves damage etc)
2. Twisted wrist or folded knee for a long time on bike ride will cause anterior knee pain
3. Seated on to a saddle for hours will reduce blood circulation
4. Finally, riding with hard suspension will create so much of trouble (spine is the host for all chakras, if u know what i mean).

He said cycling is a bit different as the knees are not in same position and moving to keep up the circulation, but motorbike is not the same. He either suggested me to avoid long rides or keep more breaks in between if unavoidable.

Now with 200 ns, the straight upright position, I get these issues. I can only imagine about sporty riding bikes with rear foot pegs placed at the pillion side
I now have limited myself my maximum travel distance per day 200Kms and not more.

Sometimes nowadays I used to think about RE bikes and the comfort. But i'm put to worry about their rattling body.

Re: Pulsar 200 NS Owners Review and Experiences

Hahahahahahaha dude if it's true then what are we doing here @xbhp??? We should be on olx site uploading our bikes pics to sell it[emoji13]

If I may suggest please change the doctor and see if the problem persist[emoji6] [emoji23] [emoji23]

Re: Pulsar 200 NS Owners Review and Experiences

That was quite in detail and very helpful.. Actually I think my spine issue started coz of back to back 200kms weekend ride on NS followed by a long 200kms drive immediately.. So I stressed my back.. Post which it's just not recovering.. Elongated work hours have just added to the misery. So even I get finger pain and knee stiffness but nothing related to groin so far.

Just hoping this physio to resolve these issues really..

I am not sure how much RE would help. I think those added springs under the seat on the Classic create added comfort. Otherwise, the front suspension doesn't look that soft. Moreover, it lacks the punch that NS has got..

One of my friends who owns a 220, rode my NS and then rode Ninja650. He was forced to compare the two and said that 200NS has got an equal punch and initial acceleration as Ninja650, although Ninja would beat 200NS later... So NS is NS, nothing can replace it. I just hope I don't have sell this powerful beast.

Re: Pulsar 200 NS Owners Review and Experiences

Dude, Most of them know riding a bicycle might bring unwanted reproduction problem or related troubles (as per the survey), but still they continue to ride. Just the same. Some may be physically well fit, and rest like me are not that fit for such long rides. But remember, most of the troubles are subtle and if we don't pay attention, then it will create unwanted troubles later. We don't have many elders (who are above 50 or more) to share the tale, because they never had such a bike (My father never rode one in his life).

Your reference is like, An IT professional gets more stress or physical problems than any other workers, but do they quit???. No right?,Just trying to find some solution or adjusting as per the body demands. So I didn't mean about not riding it at all. Health is first and then things next. I hope I've realized and I'm doing that now .

----consecutive posts auto-merged-----

Sell?, of course not. NS is a good cruiser. Right now I'm gunning for Mojo, a relaxed cruiser with no hurry. I said RE because the seats are well set up right and the motor rotates at less RPM and hence makes cruising a bit comfortable. But RE has it's downside beyond certain speeds. There were some who cruise all day throughout with few stops. But I'm not a fit guy for that. And if you know you are not, then you should not try that or give at least enough break every 30 minutes or so.

Physical exercise will surely give you relief. Yoga to be even better. I hope you will relieve soon. Try adjusting the monoshock to softer level before you ride. It will help with your back problems. Leave handling aside for a while.
