Your T stem bearings are shot. Also known as coneset. When they are faulty, they don't allow free movement of the handlebar, plus, they will grab and get stuck at certain points.

Get your T stem bearings replaced.

Replace cone set
And tyres too for safety its too old now [emoji51]

Re: Pulsar 200 NS Owners Review and Experiences

Those were some really fast responses!! Thanks! I will get the m replaced, any idea how much does that cost?

And yeah, tyres do need to get them changed, have been told by various mechanics when getting punctures repaired. Too many cracks on sides now.

Thanks again!

Re: Pulsar 200 NS Owners Review and Experiences

500-700 depends on svc

Re: Pulsar 200 NS Owners Review and Experiences

How long can I keep riding it in this condition? Will it damage the bike ?

Re: Pulsar 200 NS Owners Review and Experiences

It can damage you though, so decide what's more important

Re: Pulsar 200 NS Owners Review and Experiences

₹400-₹410 for the spares and ₹100-150 for the labour for replacement.
Part # 36DK0159 (please confirm at nearest Bajaj spare parts dealer / svc )

Goodluck.

Re: Pulsar 200 NS Owners Review and Experiences

As other bhpian said, it's more "importantier" than running the risk of jamming your handlebars at the wrong time and end up in hospital, and the same goes for your tires. Take heed of the tread on your tire too.

Re: Pulsar 200 NS Owners Review and Experiences

Totally agree! Will get it repaired tomorrow. For tyres, I guess I will go through the archive here, had read quite many conversations around that.

Thanks guys !

Re: Pulsar 200 NS Owners Review and Experiences

Handles feels so light after getting it fixed. The same mechanic who told me about coneset being the problem re assessed the handle and just did a few adjustments and tightened it again.

Re: Pulsar 200 NS Owners Review and Experiences

Did you replace the bearings or readjusted the T stem?

Cheers!

Re: Pulsar 200 NS Owners Review and Experiences

No need to look into archives, you can either get MRF REVZ S for the rear or MRF messeter, both are really good tyres, they are the stock tyres on r15 v2 and v3 so they are meant for proper grip. The messeter is one size up than the stock, but it's a good tyre.

For the front get the stock tyre which comes on r15 v3, i think the name is zapper fy1, but the showroom people will understand when you'll mention the bike as well.

Re: Pulsar 200 NS Owners Review and Experiences

Hi Folks,
Had some time to debug the tachometer issue which I previously posted.
The culprit was the ignition coil (primary one, single output)
The previous owner had installed some other model coil or a counterfeit one.
Cleaned all connectors and bung terminals coated them with WD-40.

Did a whole wiring overhaul costed me as follows:
HT coil - 194/-
Zip ties - 60/-
Insulation tape - 30/-
Wire sleeve or jacket - 50/- (various sizes)
WD-40 - 90/-
Lot of patience...

It all started from diagnosis where my handy DMM helped me.
Where i checked Crank position sensor aka pulse coil.
Stator coil was also checked.
RR unit and battery health was also noted.
Also got some leads from a Service technician regarding key areas to check.
Tracked down the wires replaced them with same gauge automotive grade wires.
Since it is a pre owned vehicle I did the above said checkups.
This gave me a peace of mind as I got to know what's gone wrong and where.
Also other updates include:
Coolant reservoir tank replaced due to the plastic got brittle and foggy level indicator.
Also installed Minda K95 horns with separate wiring harness.
Both brakes got a minor overhaul (fluid flush and bleeding).
Front pads replaced and rear one got cleaned.
Lever feels much more responsive now.
Cone Set is yet to be replaced will soon post a DIY guide.
Wheel bearings and seals including. (Will do as I replace the tyres)

I just wanna register this update here, NS owners too face the same issue as well. Someone in the future will find this helpful.

Re: Pulsar 200 NS Owners Review and Experiences

He loosened red one, rotated yellow anti clockwise.c and tightened the red one again.


Not very familiar with part names.

Re: Pulsar 200 NS Owners Review and Experiences

Thanks! Will update once I get these changed.
