Re: Pulsar 200 NS Owners Review and Experiences

Classy 350 is a long stroke bike, being said that the bike generates excellent torque at very least amount of RPM which isn't possible on our short stroke machines. Hence this gives the real cruiser ride effect which is why it acts as a magnet for RE lovers.Plus it gives excellent low end whereas our NS is not good at low end....Plus the RE bike's suspension is excellent, can take some big potholes or bumps at 30-40 kph where in our NS we can hardly take it at 10-15 kph, else you'd be thrown out of bike or ended up spoiling your vital organ.

Swap the rides, The first difference you feel is the NS grip on road, it glues on to the road even at 100+ speed whereas RE jumps a lot beyond 80+. The lack of balancer shaft results in lower order and higher order vibration frequencies to reach at each stage of RPM range...I couldn't sometimes ride at slow speeds as literally I could see my arm vibrating with the engine frequency... This is however fixed in Himalayan and hence it is high on NVH.

I've been doing for more than 3 months the same what you did for 3 days..., well there is a reason why people buy RE though it is very poor in NVH.. The feel of riding it is the reason, plus comfort

My mileage has dropped toward 30-32 these days that is exactly about 1000+ kms in Motul 7100. gear shifts are harsh and too many falses neutrals. However haven't had any leakage issue. The left side from engine underneath is the combustion exhaust pipe, are you sure?. If oil comes out and gets burnt, you sure are to experience the odor no wonder.

Re: Pulsar 200 NS Owners Review and Experiences

This actually has a very simple solution:

1) Buy new oil filter cap & bolts

2) for the broken bolt struck inside the casing thread, take the bike to a reputed lathe shop: without opening anything, the mechanic will attach & weld a long rod to the broken bolt carefully. if the weld is successfull, he turns he rod anti-clockwise, the broken bolt comes out of the thread.

Re: Pulsar 200 NS Owners Review and Experiences

The bolt has broken off completely along with the thread part in the casing. Zoom the pic and see

Re: Pulsar 200 NS Owners Review and Experiences

I think he can buy same bolt and cut few threads of it then it will perfectly fit.

Re: Pulsar 200 NS Owners Review and Experiences

From image ,it's possible to use a longer bolt . First thread the internals using tappet . Then use the longer bolt & change the oil filter cap

Re: Pulsar 200 NS Owners Review and Experiences

It's a possible option, since there isn't any load on the cover. There should be some 10mm thread-able depth, at least

Re: Pulsar 200 NS Owners Review and Experiences

The new cs400 spotted

Re: Pulsar 200 NS Owners Review and Experiences

Looks like a ns200 fi . clutch cover is same , no USD forks , silencer looks same as that of rs200 , most important euroslip tyres [emoji23]

Re: Pulsar 200 NS Owners Review and Experiences


No..its definitely not the 200! And the tyres are mrf's. Cost cutting procedures can be blamed for the exclusion of USD forks.

Re: Pulsar 200 NS Owners Review and Experiences

The VCS has not been turned, I know this because I had made a marking on it permanent marker and I can see that thr scree has not been turned. If it's still a tuning problem, I'm guessing its due to a choked air filter? I'm gonna change that filter tomorrow.
Also, I was looking at some articles regarding clutch plates. According to that, my problem could also be a symptom of a worn out clutch plate. Any insights on that one?
The front brake bite seems to be coming back although the rear brake is still soft
Regarding the electrical issue, the engine dies even when I switch on the headlights when idling. Definitely looks like water issue

Re: Pulsar 200 NS Owners Review and Experiences

Something to do with the air-fuel mixture, I'm sure. Choked air filter would make the mixture rich, not lean. Your loss of torque can't happen due to a rich mix. Umm... if I make exactly two turns of the screw, can you find out? Just saying...
Since you said rpms take a dip when you close the clutch, they wouldn't be slipping, right? If they slip it would be like riding with a partially disengaged clutch, ie, pulling on the lever a bit.
Anyway at 40K rpm they would have reached end of life, can check them anyways. All that said, hope the free play of the lever is correct!
Engine dying when you switch on h/l at idling is because the voltage takes a sudden dip, since supply from alternator is close to nothing at idle. Can be loose connections, water or even your battery not able to take load, ie aged. But in that case you wouldn't start the bike. So, it can be the other reasons.
Brakes: if the morons washed that part with diesel as part of water service, you may have to wait a couple of weeks for things to get back to normal.

Re: Pulsar 200 NS Owners Review and Experiences

Leakage is from Left side but on the Top. Also, my spark plug had dark color in the front tip and leakage on the other side. Replaced both the side spark plugs after 12k Kms. Regarding the odor, yup I do feel that and am sure it's not that metallic smell from the radiator.

P.S : Mileage may have dropped due to Bangalore traffic too. But still 28KMPL feels too less

Re: Pulsar 200 NS Owners Review and Experiences

Facing a problem from past 3 days. Though it occurred twice in these three day.

The first time was on Thursday while cranking the bike after two failed attempts. There was a backfire kind of sound from the carb and then there was some smell coming out of it. I thought it could be because of fouled spark plugs so got them replaced from the SVC on friday. The second time was today again the same thing was experienced. What could be the reason?

Another weird thing happened. I got the bike washed today from a local mechanic shop. As soon as I cranked the bike after the whole washing process was complete, the idling rpm suddenly rose to 2k-2.5k and started fluctuating. Then I came back home and brought the idling rpm to 1.5k manually by rotating the idle mixture screw. Are these things related?

Re: Pulsar 200 NS Owners Review and Experiences

This is the upcoming CS400. I have spotted this yesterday on Panchgani-Wai road. I had a little chat with the rider. He said that this bike boasts 38.5 BHP & 37NM torque. Exhaust sound was pretty good. I thought of recording the exhaust sound video but the rider said it is not allowed. Overall I kinda like the bike and the sitting posture is extremely well designed. Lets see how it makes up on the road.

Re: Pulsar 200 NS Owners Review and Experiences

Check the pipe which connects carburettor to the engine maybe a leak or crack
