Hi

I have a year old ns200 bought it in 2018 it is running fine and most of my commute to office is on expressway with speed between 80-110, the bike feels comfortable upto 90kmph and easily climbs to those speed without any fuss,But recently I am getting some issue with the bike after 100 kmph the bike seems bogged down.If i am doing 100 the bike feels it is struggling for air and refuses to climb to higher speeds and at times the bike suddenly gets it power back and with same throttle it easily crosses the 115 (you can relate it to the Maruti 1.3 MJD engine when its turbo spools).
My question is why it is happening at high speeds the bike shows no issue upto 80 and and this issue have recently surfaced have done some high speed delhi dehradun ride with constant 90+ speed with no fuss.
Kms done 11000
last service at 8500
oil used motul 7100
will try cleaning air filter to see if this helps.


Thanks

Looking for new tyres.

I wanted to replace my both existing stock tyres. I had read reviews and suggestions for MRF zapper q and fx1. But here in Ahmedabad, Gujarat, I am not able to get hold of these tyres. They are out of stock and the 2-3 mrf centres I contacted are barely interested in getting them on order. I don't know why, but they all seem least interested.

Now I am searching for alternatives. Also I am not looking for expensive tyres as my riding is mostly only confined to city and very occasional half day tours. But similar to zapper I am looking for some tires that has a mix of wet and dry grip.

Thanks in advance.

can anyone tell me the price of coolant indicator kit
my friend who owns an ns found the glass cracked and whole coolant was dripped down
any diy’s also welcome if any

Guys I bought a pulsar ns200 2017 edition (non-ABS ) 6 months ago and since the time I bought the bike I have had continuous issues .

At 700 kms the reserve tap stopped working and the head light stopped working and there was air filter blockage
At 3000kms the rear number plate light failed , the engine had misfiring problem after the radiator switched on , the mileage was 13 KMPL
At 5000 kms the misfiring issues was sorted and the reserve tap was replaced under warranty and the mileage was 15-16 KMPL.
With my limited knowledge of bike I suggested them to check the air filter for the mileage but they adamantly refused saying it'll run for 20000kms without any need for change .
I did the purchasing and servicing everything at popular Bajaj Bannerghatta road branch ,head office .

Last week I took my bike to auto assembly ( different branch of Bajaj) and they told me the air filter was clogged and needs to be changed . They changed and now I am getting 25 KMPL ( reserve to reserve )

is 25KMPL the max mileage I'll get out of this bike ?( Reserve to reserve check) or should I try a different method of checking for mileage ?

What are the different ways to check for mileage?

dear bro,

first of all so sorry for the late reply, cost of coolant reservoir will be somewhere between 250-280.

DEAR BRO,

SO SORRY FOR THE LATE REPLY

MAXIMUM MILEAGE YOU WILL GET FROM THIS BIKE WILL BE 35-37 , BUT AT THIS SETTING YOU WILL NOT ENJOY RIDING IT AS THE ACCELARATION WILL BE DRASTICALLY REDUCED. ( THIS IS MY CURRENT SETTING , GOING TO CHANGE IT SOON), FOR A BALANCED SETTING BETWEEN MILEAGE AND ACCELARATION YOU WILL GET SOMEWHERE BETWEEN 30-32 KMPL.

YOU CAN CHANGE THIS SETTING BY AFR SCREW IN YOUR CARB.

Dear bro,
Why are you shouting? Is something wrong? [emoji28]

Dear bro, When did i shout?[emoji28]

Hi friends, i've just sold off my pulsar 200ns 2015 model after clocking 95k kms. I think i am eligible enough now to comment on its pros and cons. I've now purchased a rtr2004v ABS and i'll comment about it too in the end of this post.


Pros


1. In engine, vibrations are there, a lot. But that's its characteristic as its a rev happy engine and i have ran it at 120kmph on Agra Yamuna expressway for 2hrs continuosly. No signs of engine overheating ever.
2. Best in segment Engine Power
2. Build quality of 200ns is way better than rtr2004v. I don't know what's wrong with the reviews on youtube, which says rtr200 better than 200ns. Pulsar 200ns is more robust, for example, its tyre hugger is build over a solid metal bracket, which, in my case, sustained impact of two cars in a single accident from the rear. Bike didn't suffered any damage at all.
3. Very beautiful instrument cluster backlit illumination
4. Long life - myself covered 95,000 km without piston-ring change, without clutch plate change, just 1 chainset change (@55k km), 1 time CDI change, without magnet change , just 1 radiator fan change. Even the clutch and brake levers didn't loose paint in 4years and 95k kms.
5. Completed a leh-ladakh trip, ofcourse after a specialized service in leh itself.
6. Due to plain design, the bike is easy to clean everyday.
7. On curves, 200NS is very planted due to stiffer suspension


Cons


1. Not for DIY people. Service and repairing is very complicated. Road-side mechanics can not repair it. e.g. Air filter and main spark plug are placed below fuel tank, which is absolutly idiotic. You need to unmount the whole fuel tank to access the spark plug or air filter or to set tappet. That's the sole reason i didn't bought Dominar, after selling the 200NS.
2. CDI is not reliable, in my case. On the highway, when radiator fan went kaput, my bike lost ignition current on the highway due to fault in CDI caused by the fan. It may be a one-off case but still worth mentioning.
3. High seat height. Not for short riders. I am 5'9"
4. Absolutely no place to add accessories like extra horn, aux lights, mobile charger, switches. I somehow managed to add all these but that was a very tight fit.
5. Weak headlight
6. Gear lever needs to be changed every 10k-15K kms, in my case. This is a design defect which gradually reduces the grip to move the gear shaft and it is a serious issue.
7. Hard seat cushioning. I had to add a 2inch foam sheet to the rider seat.
8. Rattles for the first 20k kms and rear brake sqeaky sound after every rear brake-pad change




How's it compared to Apache rtr2004v: Overall, i strongly feel that after selecting rtr2004v over 200NS, i've actually downgraded. The rtr200 is not durable as its flimsy parts suggests. The slipper clutch lever is light by 15%-20%, if compared to 200NS. Yes, rtr200 dual channel ABS comes as a saviour and Soft suspension in rtr200 gives better side quality by about 5%-10%. Fuel economy is also similar.


If you are over 5.6, and intends to ride it in a city (due to avaliability of good mechanics) then choose 200NS otherwise look at other options. Happy Riding.

hello bro,

since you've ridden ns 200 for a very long time will like to ask you a few questions...

which engine oil you were using and for how many kms (drain interval)

which coolant you were using and when to replace the coolant.

BTW which bike you're currently using.

thanks alot in advance.

He does say he is bought the rtr now in the first few lines.

Hey guys! I am going to get the rear tyre of my 200 NS changed soon and I was wondering if an upsize 140 section tyre could fit because the mud flap near the rear suspension is very narrow. Has anyone tried it?

Thank you.

My friend is using MRF messeter on his ns which is a size 140 tyre, he is facing no issues with the tyre and is very happy with the performance. Messeter is the stock tyre on R15 V3 by the way

Hey! Thanks for the prompt reply. Is it 140/60 or 140/70? Was there any problems in installation?

The size is 140/70-17, there was no issue with the installation, go for it
