Surprisingly to my bike, Bajaj oil seems to give better smoothness than Motul 5100. Might be it's 15w grade, don't know if 7100 could improve. But I could feel the loss of some smoothness at many cruising speed spots with Motul.

You are right, even when I switched to Motul 5100 after my ODO touched 5000 kms, I felt no difference in smoothness, but then I switched to Motul 7100 at 10000 kms then it started to show the refinement after about 150 kilometers of usage. Now my steed has crossed 26K or 27K mark on the ODO (got the meter replaced once, so don't really know the actual count) and I have never thought about switching to any other brand.

1. change handle bar to duke like handle bar.
2. Vibration on handle bar
3. New exhaust
4. Better Comfortable seats for rider and pillion
5. engine crash guard
6. The leg guards as the stocks leg guard are not at all useful
7. what i do for engine refinement it feels very harsh, i am running on bajaj oil.

Following attached pics are from konkan ride clocked 2500 KMS in 3 Days[ATTACH]196828[/ATTACH][ATTACH]196829[/ATTACH][ATTACH]196830[/ATTACH][ATTACH]196831[/ATTACH][ATTACH]196832[/ATTACH][ATTACH]196833[/ATTACH][ATTACH]196834[/ATTACH].

Duke 200s handle guards can be easily installed on the NS. I have them installed on mine.

If you live in Delhi, I can help you out in getting them installed.

This is super hot. And the job is clean. If its not too much to ask for, could you please upload a closer picture of the set up especially where the clamps are placed. I can try and get it done in Trivandrum.

Thanks to my trusted mechanic, he did a pretty clean job.
I'll click an up close pic of the clamps and the whole fitting tomorrow.

Hmm... Seems confused a bit with these oils. Many said Motul 5100 gave a smoother engine set up while, Motul 7100 gave a bit harsh but crunchy acceleration and a better high rpm rides. But somehow 5100 didn't surprise me when I was ~4000+ Kms in odo (when I did my 2nd service).

My third service is approaching shortly less than a month, but however my total Kms is around 7000+ only till date. Should I try Motul 7100 now?, or go back Bajaj, wait for 3000 Kms and then try Motul 7100?. By the way, I still have one full bottle of Motul 5100 in my storage

Yes your calculation is right.but what I fail to understand is how come in RS both the lights are enabled then without draining that much battery ?

I had it confirmed with PowerDrift. One of the other noticeable (but not visible) upgrade for RS from AS or NS is Alternator. Bajaj has informed them that RS has a new Alternator (Stator and rotar setup with rectifier) than AS/NS especially for projectors, no info about power ratings though. I'm not sure it that's just a rectifier modification or the whole stator+rotar windings and assembly.

So this should give the battery a quick charge even at lower RPMs. Also you must note that the RS uses LEDs for other lamps such as pilot, tail, (even for other console lights, not backlight as they are LEDs in NS too), etc. Hence that way it saves more power compared to AS or NS. So that makes some sense here.

So now for AS or NS, one can switch to a 100W+ light source without a hiccup, but before proceeding, it's advisable to change all the lights to LEDs, use single horn, try not to turn on headlights at idle, because in such cases, the discharging rate would be more than charging rate.

Or why not change the rectifier and alternator to that of rs and eliminate the possibility of battery discharge and have more power at tap to expend ...

Apply some chewing gum on the end od a small stick and use that end to get that small bulb from there.

Hey jbm.long time.was a bit busy with work.
Ya I think I wil pass on for now to enable both the lights.thanks for the info bro.
However I did change the oil from Bajaj to 7100 as I have completed almost 7700kms.so you also seem to cover the same distance almost.
All I can say the engine oil is just SWEET!
Will give you a review of it soon.give me couple of hours [emoji51]

lmao, great advice. actually that probably won't work. worse if you get the chewgum stuck inside the pilot lamp housing.
best way is to, simply leave it as it is. or take the head assembly out in your hand and shake the the headlight housing to get bulb out.

Re: Pulsar 200 NS Owners Review and Experiences

1. Is it a fair deal to get my NS serviced at ASC for 1st paid service?
2. Tail light stays on after pressing the front brake lever. The lever does not retract back. What must be the issue?

Re: Pulsar 200 NS Owners Review and Experiences
