Re: Pulsar 200 NS Owners Review and Experiences

Thanks Guys. I was little doubtful.I used Bajaj engine oil. May be after 1k more i will change to motul 7100 with new oil filter

Re: Pulsar 200 NS Owners Review and Experiences

No worries man 😁

Re: Pulsar 200 NS Owners Review and Experiences

Thanks bro

Re: Pulsar 200 NS Owners Review and Experiences

Change oil filter every 5000kms one or when a new type of oil is changed. Rest assured, i changed only once till now...

Re: Pulsar 200 NS Owners Review and Experiences

I remember him [MENTION=63379]shrey1992[/MENTION] replaced the console with new one which solved his needle shake problem.

Re: Pulsar 200 NS Owners Review and Experiences


Yup, my 2014 model console went kaput under warranty so replaced it and got a 2012 model console. A big change is that the RPM needle vibrations are totally gone and the needle sweep is also good, like those in cars or jap bikes.

Re: Pulsar 200 NS Owners Review and Experiences

Thanks bud for letting me know about this.

Hmmmmm.. however I am guessing that the svc center guys will not replace the console under warranty for me since the console is still working perfectly barring the errant vibration of the needle. Any idea how much would that cost if I decide to go on with it since its not a big deal and not something which I could not live with.

There is another issue which I am facing and that is with the chain set. Last evening I took my bike for its bi weekly chain tightening. My mechanic showed me that even after adjusting the chain to its desired slackness, there are some areas in the chain which are tighter than it should be, in other words, the slack is not even al through out. He said that the chain set is defective and needs replacement. My odo stands at 11350 to the dot. Is it something I could get replaced under warranty ? IF yes, what should I tell them. If no, whats the cost of the chain set.

This is something I have to do on priority since the ride quality is being adversely affected quite obviously.

Thanks in advance guys

Re: Pulsar 200 NS Owners Review and Experiences

11K Km is too less for demanding a new chain. Improper clutch engaging, shifting, revving harder can result in chain wear in such a short time, but I guess you do it well here. Could be that you tour over a long distance?, don't know. But you can get the complete chain kit for <1300/- I believe. My svc said 1550/- for replacement cost and spare cost, but that's not for me and said about 25K Kms on average usage.

Re: Pulsar 200 NS Owners Review and Experiences

Thanks bud. Will speak to them this coming weekend and try to have it changed within the warranty itself. If they dont agree I would rather spend 1500 bucks to mitigate the issue rather than fight with them and wait to win and screw up my devils performance all the more.

Improper shifting, revving hard is not my cup of tea. I do prefer to speed but do not like the red light drag races. I NEVER have changed the gear on either a half clutch or without engaging the clutch. Although I did take care to lube the chain every day end during my tour it could well be the reason due to the continuous running and anyway, its a known fact that open chains accumulate a lot more dust and grime as compared to covered chains.

Keeping my fingers crossed.

Re: Pulsar 200 NS Owners Review and Experiences

When a chain wears, the gap between the pin and rollers increase. This increase should be uniform through out all links in the chain. Due to this minute delta, multiplied over number of links yield in substantial elongation which we adjust by pulling the rear sprocket away from the front there by compensating. Since [MENTION=75452]GauravD[/MENTION] said there is uneven slackness, I suspect that the chain could have got damaged - whether the damage is due to manufacturing defect or dust or maintenance issue; the chain got to be replaced. Jack rabbit starts, rapid acceleration, poor shift all going to accelerate the wear but will not have an uneven effect like he said.

Re: Pulsar 200 NS Owners Review and Experiences

Don't know about the cost of the console.

Why do you get the chain tightened biweekly?
Since chain set is not covered in warranty, SVC won't replace it for free. You would have to shell out ~₹1500 for the chain set replacement.

For further maintenance of the chain set, clean and lube it at 500 - 700 kms with a good lube like Motul Chain Lube Road. For cleaning you can use WD40 or diesel.
Don't give abrupt throttle and don't do sudden downshifts. Chain set should last more than 18000 kms on good usage.

Re: Pulsar 200 NS Owners Review and Experiences

Can anyone please suggest rear tyre for 200 ns as I am new here,I have short listed revz-s and zapper-s but unfortunately zapper-s are not available here in Ahmedabad. I know this has been discussed several times here but I can't reach to any conclusion. Please suggest.

Re: Pulsar 200 NS Owners Review and Experiences

If you are already from MRF, Revs are better than zapper. If you have money, why not go for Michelin pilot streets radial.

Re: Pulsar 200 NS Owners Review and Experiences

Thanks for the quick reply [MENTION=75352]jbm_guy[/MENTION] and no I am not using MRF I have the same eurogrip, I did consider Michellins but I have read negative reviews about the ISI marked Michelin tyres so I zeroed on revz-s and by the can u suggest a tyre for front also?

Re: Pulsar 200 NS Owners Review and Experiences

For front why dont you try mrf zapper fx1
