Re: Pulsar 200 NS Owners Review and Experiences

thanks for the info, bajaj parts are getting costly

any way know any method to know my front both fork are in alignment or not?

Re: Pulsar 200 NS Owners Review and Experiences

Hey bro.. If i were you i would leave the front tyre with the same profile as stock and change the rear to 150/60 which runs on the duke.

Acceleration will take a hit due to increased cross sectional area in contact with the ground thereby increasing tractional forces.

About the height ride - doing a 140/70 from the stock 130/80 would reduce your ride height by about 6mm whereas doing a 150/60 would cause a total drop of 14mm.

Hope this helps

Re: Pulsar 200 NS Owners Review and Experiences

I am sorry but i dont know much about the technical aspects of a bike. Total noob here

Re: Pulsar 200 NS Owners Review and Experiences

Hey Bro,

Thanks for the info and you know,be frank I am concern about the height, I really dont want to see a single drop in the height not even a 1mm. If am not wrong NS stock rear comes in 130/70R 17, so the mentioned profile 140/70 doesn't make any difference in the height. My first preference was duke R tyres, but as far as the height is concerned I drop the same and rely on the CBR 250R tyre, as it got some massive look.

Now moving to the hardcore part, "Performance", so you are telling that we can feel some power drop, will it be a major drop or we can live with the same??

Re: Pulsar 200 NS Owners Review and Experiences

Guys, my bike took a fall and my left leg guard's nut is broke(broke and stuck).
Went to the svc and they suggested visiting a lathe to fix it.

Any suggestions or thoughts ?

Re: Pulsar 200 NS Owners Review and Experiences

i am not the owner of 200NS. but i work in with mechanic on weekends.
this is bit tedious job. i would suggest you to go to mechanic.
there are two reasons of it.
pipe bent or stem bent.
if you are DIY guy and you know how to put things back, go ahead with procedure as follows.
1. remove disc caliper, wheel and mudguard. and try putting axel back to its place. axel should get through both fork bottoms effortlessly. if not, your forks are out of alignment. if you pass this step, it means, forks are not bent.
2. the best way is to remove fork assembly (t stem, t plate, both forks) and keep it on flat surface ie table, floor, etc. to remove fork assembly,
a. remove both clip ons.
b. remove headlight assembly.
c. open t stem top nut.
d. remove t plate
e. pull out both the forks along with fork pipes.
f. secure all cone balls and inspect them.
g. put t plate back in assembly.
h. once you touch all four loops of t plate and stem to the flat surface. distance between pipes and surface should be same throughout.
i. now loose the fork from t stem and plate and try rotating forks. again check the difference in distance as checked above. this ensures pipes are not bent. and may be the stem is culprit.
j. go to lathe workshop. and ask them to fix it.
k. fit everything back.
its long procedure. and if you are experienced, you can check for fork bent just by glance, but for stem, you have to follow above procedure.
last time i dint clicked pics for fork bent issue. i think it might have helped here.

if i do it in future, i will post a separate DIY thread along with all details.

Thanks

Take it to the lathe. That's what I did 😁

Re: Pulsar 200 NS Owners Review and Experiences

are you from mumbai?

Re: Pulsar 200 NS Owners Review and Experiences

I cut off and drilled a new hole in the bottom mount (on swingarm) for the monoshock. The reduction is 15 mm, and the tail end has come down by 3 inches almost. Now the bike feels more flat and grippy on the ground. No bottoming out with me 55 kg and an 80 kg friend in the back, over bumps, potholes and what not. Also, the monoshock works more now, earlier it was kind of stiff.

Re: Pulsar 200 NS Owners Review and Experiences

hi guys. i want to increase acceleration of my ns by changing rear tyre. which size i should use. thanx in advance

Re: Pulsar 200 NS Owners Review and Experiences

down sizing tyre size and weight might 'feel' the bump in acceleration. but hitting potholes may damage the rim as there would be less side walls to protect the rim.
yes.

Re: Pulsar 200 NS Owners Review and Experiences

Closer look at the mod (mentioned few posts back). Red dot is original mounting position. 15 mm less here becomes 3 inches at tailend
Edit: did this because wife couldn't get on the bike

Re: Pulsar 200 NS Owners Review and Experiences

powershift => please recommend a good mechanic in mumbai/thane/navi mumbai for my NS200?

Re: Pulsar 200 NS Owners Review and Experiences

the mechanic to whom i go does not work on NS as its 'very congested bike' and 'not mechanic friendly' according to him. there is one in airoli where all naked wolves members get their services done.
i am not sure about his skills as i never have seen his work in detail. but i guess he is good at his job as NS riders group believe in his skills.

Re: Pulsar 200 NS Owners Review and Experiences

I thought training myself is an easier task than finding a good mechanic for the NS So I downloaded the workshop manual, had it by my side when I did any service work. Now, I know to do everything on the bike, except the engine part. Well, haven't got done anything by the mechanic on the engine so far except tappet adjustment.
