    So at 3000kms, my 2017 NS had worn through all it pads. They were overtightened and so were even clinging to the disk all the time.

    Then just now at 14k, another pad is finished at the rear. Not both, just one. And when the bike moves it makes a funny vibration via the right peg. Just like something is not moving right. But the rear disk is not warn at all since I've not used it. Wondering what the issue could be. Any help?
    check chain slack , tight it if its loose
    . check the markings on both side of the rear wheel for proper alignment

        Hey guys! I am currently looking to get a new bike & considering NS200. I have a few questions though:

        1) Whats the fuel efficiency of NS 200 - as per feedback it varies from 30-33-40 kmpl

        2) How well is it suited for talelr people - I'm 5' 10"

        3) What would you say are the pros & cons of the bike

        4) Is the exhaust low or high, as sometimes I have to drive through waterlogged roads

        I am looking to upgrade from my 2008 Honda Shine, what i'm looking or is - 40 kmpl, comfortable, peppier bike that can handle city traffic + cruise on 90-100 kmph. I was initially considering P180, but my cousin advised me for NS 200. And I do agree it has good vfm & snappy performance.

        Thanks in advance.

        Best Regards

            I have not used the tyres that you Have mentioned.
            But I am using mrf masseter 140/70 in the rear and it is having superb grip. You can give it a try.
            hey bro did you notice drop in performance & mileage on 140/70 section tyre?

              Even same happened with my bike, tune the carb to optimum mixture if it is running rich mixture, clean all the spark plug maintain correct tyre pressure 30-32PSI Rear & 24PSI Front, clean air filter, If the problem still persists then do valve clearance from bajaj SVC. Ride safe.

              Switch to motul 7100 20w50 Full Synthetic engine oil, if your are running on stock bajaj dtsi oil (mineral oil).

                Can the RS200 exhaust be fitted on AS200/NS200? If yes, what will be the cost?

                    Hello guys, I need some expert advice here. I have July 2012 NS, and off late I am facing this weird handling issue which I am not sure how to describe. In slightly tight turns I feel like my handle is not free enough to turn it and if I turn it more I feel like the bike will skid ( rear tyre specially) whereas I dont feel like this on big turns. This feeling is more prominent when the road is wet or there is some gravel because of which I dont feel comfortable anymore riding it on wet roads. Also on straight road sometimes it feels like as if both tyres are not in straight line. P.S I suspected this to be tyre issue and have got both my tyres replaced recently but issue is the same. Also I noticed that my last rear tyre was worn out unevenly ( slightly more on right side) . I have got my cone set also replaced couple of times, and this issue I feel started after latest cone set change( which happened a year back) . I showed it to couple of SCs but all of them say that nothing is wrong but I am pretty sure that something is wrong for sure. Also please note that I have't had any accidents by gods grace , except one time when my bike skidded in monsoon due to uneven road and pothole.
                    Kindly suggest what could be wrong here? Is it something to do with fork out or wheel alignment and balancing ( SC and tyre shops says there is no need of it in two wheelers whereas I have seen many videos where they focus on wheel alignment)?
                    Also If anybody knows any FNG in Pune it would be very helpful.
                    Hello guys,
                    I have lost peace of my mind and handling of my bike. Because of the quoted issues, I got my cone set changed again, rear monoshock changed as it was leaking. But still the bikes handling is same after short initial improvement. As per the mechanic there is nothing wrong it seems( with handle, forks, wheel alignment & bearings, there is no play in wheels when tried to move horizontally on axle, thats the way he checked if wheel bearings needs replacement) , which I am finding it hard to digest. It is clearly evident on rough, uneven roads ( repaired in patches or worn out roads due to rains) at speeds of 20-30. The bikes handle gets pulled away which causes bikes lane change also causing road safety concerns.
                    Please help out here, and if possible suggest any honest and reliable mechanic in Pune.
                    Thanks,
                    Faffy.

                      From what I understand, your tyre had uneven wear, seems like alignment issues. Reset alignment or swing arm replacement.

                      Wait for pros to add wisdom here.

                        I too have same issue. Got lower t changed, cone set changed, rear shock changed still same problem, but crappy Bajaj mechanics say either it's tyre or get swing arm replaced. Some say bike is okay.

                            Masseter is decent for the price. Then there's Michelin and Pirelli.

                              Anyone has suggestion for dual off-road/on road tyres? I'm guessing MRF Meteor range is good for that.
