    Hello to all the NS owners.
    My first post!
    I am a soon to be NS owner. Will be getting the bike during the first week of December.
    Yesterday i rode my friend's 2017 NS and it was awesome. Except when the bike was at 3k RPM and i opened the throttle fully there was 'lag' for a second.
    Kinda like how it is when there is no petrol in the bike. Bike is due for service in few days and it should be fixed.
    When the RPM reaches 8k..! Crazy. The bike just pulls! It was a surprise to me but it felt great.
    I am 5.5 ft tall and weigh 58 Kgs. The bike does not feel heavy. This was a surprise.
    Turning radius is a bit small and a little difficult for tight U-turns, i feel.

    A great bike. Thank god for Bajaj! Duke 200 was out of my budget.
    By the way, there is a INR 20,000 difference in ABS & no-ABS version. Asked for a test ride of the ABS version at Kalyani Bajaj, Mekhri circle, Bangalore.
    They said they did not have the ABS version.
    Also asked them to ensure that i get MRF tyres but they said it depends on what is available at my time of buying and they cannot ensure i get MRF.
    Currently confused about the colors. Red or white? haha

    I have read a lot of pages and have noted tips and tricks on how to maintain, when to service, etc..
    Thank you all for sharing your experiences.
    Try a different showroom. Getting the ABS version is highly recommended

      Hello Guys

      Today I have just given my NS200 non ABS for 1st service @ 480 Kms.

      I could get some more details from the ASC guy & I wanted to share it here. He said the stock engine oil in all new NS200 is semi-synthetic when delivered from the showroom which is supplied by HP, branded as "Bajaj DTSi 10000". He also said bajaj also offering full synthetic 10W50 1.5L engine oil supplied by "TOTAL ELF" costs 1050 Rs & I seen it which has TOTAL logo on it which they fill up with all Dominars on periodic services.

      I also asked about installing ABS for my NS200 & he replied it would cost around 30K - anyone have experience or thought on this?

      I learned that NS200 was designed by BMW Motorcycles designer "Edgar Heinrich" who is the current head of BMW group motorcycle design studio. He has designed these BMW machines before he joined with Bajaj Autos. Article link here

            Pulsar 200 ns abs version
            1,30,222 INR on road
            Dealer says only 5 years insurance is available..whereas the second dealer said 3 years one,is also present.
            First dealer said 50 percent off on accessories and 5 litres petrol free if I buy on 28th Nov,the dealership anniversary day.
            Let's see which dealer get me the lowest bike price as both are good

              Here in coimbatore, Jaikrishna bajaj automobile, saibaba colony.

              The ASC manager explained what are the changes would be done such as front wheel, disc unit, wiring, etc. He assured it will be as new ABS NS200 from showroom & it will take 2-3 days. But the cost seems to be very high - 30k. I thought it would be like 10-15k as the showroom exchange price difference between ABS & non ABS NS200. He said the ABS unit alone costs 20k!

                As per Supreme Court's order, 5 years third party insurance is mandatory. First year full cover (accidents + third party) is also mandatory for registration.

                  The model price difference between new bike's cost cannot be equated to such modifications.

                  I'll put it more simply, if you sum the price of all the parts that make up your bike, it'll be much more than your bike's actual price and you still have to count in the manual labour charges.

                  This is because the costing of spare parts to Bajaj is x and becomes nearly 2x when it reaches you, keeping commission of Bajaj SPD, ASC and their employees in the equation.

                    Yeah I know buddy but second dealer told me they are offering one year comprehensive and three years third party when I told them about other dealer's bike price being lower(when I was enquiring about dominar)

                      Wheel alignment is correct. Anyhow, it's time to change the tyre as it's already 40,000 kms old.

                          30k also it's still ok compared to NON ABS at least in panic/emergency situations least it will save ur life.. rather than falling and coming under some wheels! I had a dreadful experiences once and I so want to.. but here in Mumbai.. non of the SVC Manager that I have spoken to said it's not possible!

                            Sorry about your accident.

                            I confirmed again even today with him when I picked up my NS200 from 1st service.

                            Is it something got to be with model year? Which year is yours?
