    Good to see you back bro.

    After the Chennai flood disaster, took more than 14 days post parking to take my dear out on roads. My dear didn't hesitate once and fired in single crank. Sometimes I wonder if Bajaj forgetfully fixed an FI system in my bike

    Regarding flood, on the day she didn't mind going into hip deep water and the only other guy next to me riding the same wave with pride was a Duker, rest all of them had to roll their bike, because of the water density, the water entered through their exhaust no matter how harder they revved their bike.

    First time "I thank Bajaj from the bottom of my heart" for bringing or copying this underbelly exhaust, whatever

    I could see many Dukers going ahead on the hip deep water without hesitation, whereas other Fz, old P220 had to stop all the way. I was worried about water entering inside when parked, but even that too didn't create any trouble. Now i've started to love her even more [emoji14]
    After a long time how are you bro...!![emoji1]

      Another con is that the Fi cuts usable tank range by atleast 2 litres.

      With already limited NS/AS tank at 12 Litres, a 2 Litre drop would be catastrophic.

        10000 km is too early for bore/valve guide wear. If the oil level is not dropping, then you need not worry.

                Got Installed HID projectors on my brothers bike.



                Here Some comparison from stock (My NS) vs a projectors light reflection.

                Low beam on halogen :


                Low beam on HID :

                      High beam focuses flat above the road. I should be focused little down if it should be of any use to the rider. Also, it will hinder oncoming traffic severly unless you reduce the focus height. BTW, the bike looks awesome in projectors. Waiting for night time pics..

                        NS actually fills around 14 liters. And the FI system can handle below 2 liters comfortably once in a while, just not regularly. BTW we are supposed to fill up when we hit reserve, not ride till the last drop like the young college going guys do.

                        200NS can do 400 kilometers before hitting reserve on a full tank. It's quite an okay figure when it comes to range IMHO.

                            High beam on HID :
                            Projectors?, Oh no... Not again (I thought you would go for 100W)
                            Looks good, no doubt. But the white light saturates that is where the main problem starts, and the high beam. Check your picture yourself for highbeam. The halogen light doesn't saturate and hence appears very pointed and provides good long range, while the HID on the other hand, gives more brightness and makes every single stone visible nearby, but the effective range reduces esp with other light sources.

                            Mine is a bad story, spent close to 3K for these and now another 2K to bring back to stock Halogen. Will update the HID fixing pictures soon.
                            Not to mention the poor fellow riders coming the on the opposite lane. Please check the high beam focus, it points to sky. But it's not adjustable like Halogen.

                            What's the cost and make bro?.

                              It's a good news that NS will be coming with FI but then its gonna increase the price by atleast 20k.frankly speaking the whole point of NS in the market with Carb was cosr cutting.if its an FI then I would incline towards Duke 200.
                              Even the Carb doesn't have any issues and runs like a charm.then the FI goes kaput if no fuel is there.
                              NS is all about budget and frankly speaking it actually doesn't need an FI.but still it would be a nice thing to see it with FI.however if it's price increases then Duke 200 would always be a better option.

                                My third service done, here are the cost break up
                                KMs ran - ~7K.

                                Bill Summary
                                Bajaj Oil - 341
                                OIl filter - 67.8
                                Headlamp assy - 1712
                                Chain Lube + Teflon - 120
                                Repair of headlight - 250
                                Service tax of 14.5% for all the above = ~362/-

                                The total amount = 2852/- (including 14.5% tax)

                                The charges are high for spares, but then, this is a small svc and hence so. So basically, unless we tell them this is wrong or not working, they won't bother to check or change....
                                Anyway, mine had zero issues, so I told them clearly not to touch anything.

                                Finally back to Bajaj Oil, well Motul 5100 didn't please me enough. Maybe should have tried Motul 7100 which has the same grade as Bajaj oil, but then it costs a hell as i already have 1 bottle of Motul 5100 (how do I sell it?). So temporarily moving to Bajaj oil, it didn't disappoint and looks decent to me.

                                Anyway back to track after rain

                                Exactly you spoke my mind, but then bringing the same old NS is not a right competition for TVS Apache. As you all might be aware, that TVS Apache (Draken Concept) is to be launched by Feb 2016 more likely, and it is expected to hit anywhere from 24-25 bhp with Dual channel ABS (Which already TVS has it). So Bajaj will be put to a tough challenge here. Anyday anybody would go for dual ABS and also one can expect the cost from TVS.

                                This is the right time to release NS, a right competitor in their hood to defend. So an FI and ABS is very important. Forget cost, today even a gixxer 155cc costs about a Lac. So no wonder if NS is priced at 1.2 Lacs, but it needs right goodies. Also 200NS already came with FI in other areas (thai, indonesia) except India, so bringing them or making them isn't a big deal for Bajaj.

                                Buy the time, they release NS, the price of Duke200 would touch 1.7Lac for sure and will again make this deal sweet keeping a difference of 50K between Duke and NS.
