I Had A Big Confusion Between The Duke200 And NS200 When I Was Planning to Purchase,And Finally I Choosed NS As My Choice Here The Reasons
*My Budget Was Below 1.3lak₹

*Good Top-end Compared To The Duke200
*There is No Aggressive Power In Lower RPM

Dear Friends,

I am facing issue in my NS, Some whining noise coming from left side magnet side area while reeving RPM also there is some vibration on footrest & i also found rattling sound coming from left side magnet area cover it is some kind of part rattling noise. it looks like a one way clutch noise. i am not yet confirmed about this.
after some time of running like 10 to 15 km battery low symbol was glowing, & battery got discharge completely unable to start again. My 200 NS is 2012 DEC model & completed 48000 km. anyone faced the same issue???

It's kind of this type noise- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t7dyujlCkD0

Use fuel additives if you plan on taking a break from riding!

First things first, the Bajaj ASCs near Hinjewadi, Pune are not satisfactory at all. I had to give my bike to a third party service center (Clutch & Gear, Wakad) to get it fixed.

Now, just to give you a little backstory, I came to Pune in April 2016 from Ahmedabad for MBA from Symbiosis. And hence I didn't get much time to ride and barely clocked much kms since then. After that, I had to go to Mumbai for 3 months and so I parked my bike with a cover in Pune.

Note: No matter how well you cover your bike, the dust will find its way on/in your bike!

So I didn't use my bike for 4-5 months since then and hence the bike required a full service for which I gave it to the nearest Bajaj ASC. They got it working but I soon realized that they didn't do the job completely as the bike stalled and didn't start for 5-10 mins after clocking few kms. After 5-10 mins the bike was working properly again. This kept happening the whole day. Later that day I got busy and didn't get time to give it for service again and also, I wanted to get it serviced from a good place.

Few days later I tried cranking the bike but the bike refused to start. I did a little bit of research online and found this place, "Clutch & Gear" which had a 4+ rating on Google Maps. They came to pick up the bike and I told them about the issues. They washed the bike, sterilized the carburetor, changed 2 spark plugs, cleaned the fuel tank, cleaned the fuel system and also refueled with Rs. 200 worth of petrol. All this costed me Rs. 1000 (including Rs. 200 for bike pickup which is reasonable imo). And I have to say that they did a fantastic job and the bike felt as good as new. I also switched from Motul 5100 to 7100 and replaced the oil filter.

I also realized that the front tyre was now over 5 years old and I didn't want to risk anything and hence switched to PSD 110/80-17 which cost me Rs. 2800 + Rs. 300 for tubeless valve and fitting. Now that I have a little more free time, I intend to do 1 bike ride every weekend for at least the next few months and I recently took the bike to Lavasa and was very pleased with the performance of the PSD.

Gist of the story is, use good fuel additives/stabilizers in your bike if you plan on taking a break from riding your bike and get it serviced from a good service center.

Re: Pulsar 200 NS Owners Review and Experiences

Which tyre is better mrf or ceat?
Im taking my new ns this week and the showroom guys gave me an option to choose between mrf or ceat. So which one is better??

Re: Pulsar 200 NS Owners Review and Experiences

Mrf is better

Re: Pulsar 200 NS Owners Review and Experiences

I say and if you can get tires of you own then please go for pirelli s

Re: Pulsar 200 NS Owners Review and Experiences

Mrf is better and pirelli is option , then you must go for it

Re: Pulsar 200 NS Owners Review and Experiences

If u can only choose between those two ,go for MRF.or else consider Michelin pilot street

Re: Pulsar 200 NS Owners Review and Experiences

How much for michelin?

Re: Pulsar 200 NS Owners Review and Experiences

About 10k for front and rear package ..but it worths the money

Re: Pulsar 200 NS Owners Review and Experiences

Ceat tyres???
Do. Post a picture dude if possible, I wanna see what ceat makes are available with NS now

Re: Pulsar 200 NS Owners Review and Experiences

Does anyone happen to know the front brake piston measurements from the NS200? as in 30x28.5

Re: Pulsar 200 NS Owners Review and Experiences

Michelin pilot street radial front 140/70 back and 110/70 front both together will cost you around 9000 rs.
Cost is little high but they are worth every penny of their cost.. Super grippy on dry as well as wet roads..
