Re: Pulsar 200 NS Owners Review and Experiences

Yeah will try it at 2.5 I think it should be good. Currently I have set it to 3 because the rpm needle was rock solid at 3 turns, but still I do feel some kind of lag at certain rpms especially when wearing gloves.

Will changing the throttle cable do any good?

Re: Pulsar 200 NS Owners Review and Experiences

Got First Paid service of Bike done today. bike has done 12.5k kms but bike was having lot of issues so got it done earlier this time.

The service guy tried to push AMC Plan to me, made sense as i had to pay 1150rs and i get 4 free services and 2-3 teflon coating.as normal paid service charges were 550 per service, i opted for this plan.

left the bike with them after mentioning the Vibrations and monoshock issue with the bike, these were fixed to some extent by tightening screws all over the bike but i know this is a temporary fix and i have to get these tightned again after 2 or 3k kms. to the horror Screws have actually fell off my bike due to vibrations in past. i dont see service guys fixing this vibration issue any sooner. Might be this has something to do with tappet setting, i dont know exactly.

Other Dissapointment was Kamchor'ness of these guys. bike has done 12k and never once the airfilter has been cleaned.now my other bikes , Enfield gets Air filter serviced every 3k kms and p150 at 2k kms (and filers are actually dirty, it is not a exercise in futile) i have cleaned air filter for NS myself when Doing some DIY on the Bike.

It is a good bike but Lousy Service Centre attitude is ruining the experience. My other friend who was in Wait and watch mode to buy NS dropped the idea after my bad experiences.

Re: Pulsar 200 NS Owners Review and Experiences

Most of the Bajaj service centres are like multi-speciality hospitals with bad doctors

Re: Pulsar 200 NS Owners Review and Experiences

I recently fiddled with the carb, and changed it to somewhere near 3 turns where i felt the engine idle was pretty stable. Now, the throttle response is really good, vibrations have lessened a lot and almost nil till 6kRPM, and I have been getting really good low end torque, I have not checked the top speed yet.
But every good thing has a baggage, and the baggage for this is : Fuel efficiency. I have been getting 28kmpl in mixed riding conditions, more of b2b traffic conditions. (I usually shift at 4-5k rpms). I wouldn't care much about the FE, but anything beyond 31kmpl will sure widen my grin.

I don't really want to make the mixture lean and lose this setting, so could you guys please provide me your inputs on this; anything that I can check/change/replace for extracting more FE other than changing my riding style.

Re: Pulsar 200 NS Owners Review and Experiences

Clean the air filter at recommended intervals, more frequently if you ride through dusty areas. A clogged air filter will restrict air flow more at medium to high flow rates, ie, more open throttle. This will result in a higher vacuum in the carb and more fuel being sucked in. So your ideal idle mixture setting will result in a richer mix above, say, 3K rpms

Re: Pulsar 200 NS Owners Review and Experiences

Bro I have also set it at 3 turns because the rpm was most stable at that point. And the vibes are also less as compared to other settings. So will it have a huge impact on FE? As far as I know if there are hiccups and miss fires its not good for the engine life and longevity.?

Re: Pulsar 200 NS Owners Review and Experiences

Check reserve to reserve with 200/- petrol.
Misfires are not good for the engine.

Re: Pulsar 200 NS Owners Review and Experiences

Earlier i used to get 30 kmpl . changed the air filter(₹250) , spark plugs(₹380) & cleaned the carb without opening by spraying the carb clean spray(₹100) into air intake. Currently afr is @3.5 turns . Fe is now 35kmpl .
Total cost , approximately ₹750 . But worth it .

Re: Pulsar 200 NS Owners Review and Experiences



Found this article about TPS, I was searching for this because even after tuning the carb right and everything being normal the bike is hesitant to rev, it does surge at idle, acceleration is not smooth, there is some jerking sensation even if I keep the speeds constant and another thing is when I come to a standstill after a ride the rpm rises above 2k sticks there and keeps on shaking I have to shut off then engine to get it back to normal.

Posting this because when I read about TPS on the forum everything matched with the problems I am facing. Though this forum is talking about symptoms of a bad TPS of a car, I think the same applies for the bike..?

Re: Pulsar 200 NS Owners Review and Experiences

In our bike, the Tps controls only ignition timing, but it controls fuel injection also in FI engines. In our bike, faulty Tps can cause erratic sparking and spark timing.

Your symptoms ALSO look like there is a small air leak in the suction side. Idle surge after perfectly setting the carb can be due to air leak. The hose connecting the carb to the engine can leak air (suck in) due to loose clamps (most common), rubber of the hose becoming hard over time (so it behaves kinda wood), or a tiny crack in the hose.

Have both of these checked out.

Re: Pulsar 200 NS Owners Review and Experiences

So, should I get the hose and TPS both checked?
If yes then please guide me on how to explain the hose and TPS thing to the SVC mechanic because they just don't understand all these names.

In the last service I did ask the mechanic to check the TPS he was like WHAT?? There's nothing like TPS in the bike.

Re: Pulsar 200 NS Owners Review and Experiences

touch and show, no other option. Tps is on left side of carb. Has 3 wires running out of it.

Re: Pulsar 200 NS Owners Review and Experiences

Bajaj gives their mechanics good training. the problem is they are negligent, overworked and lack proper troubleshooting capabilities. I know a mechanic who resigned from the ASC here in vijayawada, who is more thank capable of just troubleshooting but he is very lazy. they just say that they have too much work. because of their negligence, we have to repeatedly vist the asc and waste our time. what irritates me is how they do not realize how much of their own time they are wasting.

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

TPS is rarely the problem. the problems you have are similar to what I faced. check both ducts of carburettor and the clamps. in my case the duct connecting carb to engine was damaged/hardened and the clamp reached its tightening limit. another thing to check is the carburetor breather hose/pipe which is located near the TPS. if it is getting blocked or pinched, similar problems occur. do not fiddle with TPS unless you have ruled the other possibilities out.

Re: Pulsar 200 NS Owners Review and Experiences

Facing a strange issue lately. Missing starts will riding in main as if it had hit reserve. But if I switch off the bike and again it again in main, it happily runs for another 10 or something kms.
