Re: Pulsar 200 NS Owners Review and Experiences

Yeah last time when I left the bike at the SVC ( for the same hiccup problem) I told the mechanic to check the spark plugs and replace them if required. But he told that plugs alright and don't need any replacement.

Today while tuning the carb I noticed that even at 3 turns when the engine sound was almost linear the rpm needle was not stable irrespective of turns I had made.

Re: Pulsar 200 NS Owners Review and Experiences

This fluctuating rpm leads to many things ,like
water in fuel , clogged fuel filter -air filter , chocked carburetor, spark plugs etc .
Sort out the problem one by one .

Re: Pulsar 200 NS Owners Review and Experiences

Two things which I have not checked are fuel filter and spark plugs.

Can these things also cause hiccups( which is the major problem)?

Re: Pulsar 200 NS Owners Review and Experiences

Yes ,. Clogged fuel filter can restrict the constant fuel flow (costs ₹90). It's difficult to find the faulty spark plug , but they are cheap to change so change all of them (₹300)

Re: Pulsar 200 NS Owners Review and Experiences

There are two hoses on top of the fuel filter. Through one fuel comes in, the second is connected to the top of the tank to avoid air block/vacuum. Now it is easy to jam the second hose between the tank and frame while refitting the tank. This can also cause hiccups. Symptom will be just like fuel filter block.

Re: Pulsar 200 NS Owners Review and Experiences

Yeah bro I thought about it too but the problem is:- there are hiccups especially at 5k rpm which translates to 72-73kmph and those quite annoying. And there is sudden jolt in the bike when it crosses 5k rpm mark its as if suddenly the fuel supply has increased.

Re: Pulsar 200 NS Owners Review and Experiences

Then most probably it is the throttle slider (piston) getting stuck

Re: Pulsar 200 NS Owners Review and Experiences

Does any one know about the swingarm bush and how much important is that in our bike.

Re: Pulsar 200 NS Owners Review and Experiences

This is an important for the bike as it the bush which supports the swingarm. Swingarm forms a major part of the rear suspension set-up, it has to soak up the shock of bumps and potholes in the road surface, as well as support the weight of the bike and its rider, plus perhaps a passenger and a couple of hundred pounds of luggage. Also, when you accelerate from rest, the full weight of the bike acts on the back end, putting even more strain on the swingarm.

Any failure will lead to lateral movement of the rear wheel, hence lockup due to the disc rubbing against the disc pad, chain sprocket alignment getting lost.

Re: Pulsar 200 NS Owners Review and Experiences

Bhai IMO, with all due respect if i may, wont blockage of the air pipe by getting it squashed between the fairing and tank cause fuel to be cut off totally rather than cause hiccups ? Thats what used to happen in my case to be honest when the svc guys squashed the pipe.

Re: Pulsar 200 NS Owners Review and Experiences

It maybe a choked air filter or carburetor. Or check your spark plugs checked.

Re: Pulsar 200 NS Owners Review and Experiences

Thanks for the information bro. One more question how to know if the bush are gon bad or are miss aligned .

Re: Pulsar 200 NS Owners Review and Experiences

Hi,

I have been feeling strange about the way my bike accelerates when I am trying to reach 100 swiftly.. Not exactly red lining.. So when I shift to the 4 th and 5 th gear I do not get the punch I get in the first 3 gears. It takes time for the bike to accelerate. I get that feeling when you are about to hit reserve. what I mean by that is if I fully twist the throttle I do not get power like how I got previously. Once the power kicks in then it goes fine. There is a very visible lag. Same in 5th gear as well. I am getting worried. Went to the svc center and the guys said no problem. They were just lazy and did nothing to the bike. One guy however suggested that there could be a problem with some kind of vacuum stuff that sucks in air. When the mechanic checked he said no issues with that. I still do feel that lag in the 4th 5th gear and the feeling is more prominent when accelerating with a pillion. Guys please help me out. Am I in trouble?

Another piece of information I want to add is that I changed my clutch assembly recently and I then a ride for 400 odd kms. Post that randomly this issue started. Not connecting the dots but just saying.

I stay in Bangalore. If anyone is aware of a good mechanic please do let me know.

Re: Pulsar 200 NS Owners Review and Experiences

Since it's fine up to 3rd gear there is no problem with carburetor system.
It's surely point towards faulty mechanical system. It can be low compression, clutch slipping etc
Since u changed the clutch assembly(include clutch plates , pressure plates ,springs if bell has any deformations then change it also), it's better to check the compression .

Re: Pulsar 200 NS Owners Review and Experiences

Depends on the amount of quashing. If quashed perfectly like your case, yes.
