  • Afifdavit +Flag day charges = 1190

    History (Dealer - Jai bajaj, Adayar, Chennai)
    Pre booking date: 26 June, 2012 ( 10000 rupees)
    Remaining Amount: 20 July, 2012 (85,021 rupees) ( Went for half a test ride)
    Remaining amount due to goof up in total price by dealer: 21 July, 2012 (4173 rupees) ( Full test ride day)
    Remaining amount to be paid for center stand at time of delivery: 520 rupees.
    Total Amount: 99,714 rupees which includes Affidavit and Flag day Charges.
    Delivery date: Tomorrow Evening (30 July, 2012) or i can conveniently take the bike on Tuesday Morning too.

    Am a Trichy native. A friend of mine has already bought the bike there for 96700 ( No affidavit + Flag day charges + Center Stand ). Seems like RTO tax is cheaper in Trichy compared to Chennai. ( 1000 rupees difference)

    I have noticed on road price difference between (kln & Khivraj) 97914 and Jai Autos 98004. Jai Autos is costlier by 90 rupees.
    Though i have already posted the break up details twice before, am posting it again.

        I would vote for Red bro.. No offense to the blue.. but this isn`t the usual red.. it is maroonish.. the beast brings all it`s awesomeness best in yellow.. and then red.. cheers..!!

        anyone can through some light on this would be very helpful
        Changing the horn would void the warranty.. I wouldn`t recommend you to do that..!!

        What is the merit of the above statement.
        What about merits wrt liquid cooled engines.
        Pulsar 200NS has center stand as acessory. What about availability? In bangalore?

        PS- Booked NS 200 red beast. Obviously don't want to park my bike on side stand indefinitely.

        Rgds
        Get the center stand asap.. Here in chennai.. I was told.. I will get it by first service..!!

        And guys, please welcome one of the very first owners of the pulsar 200NS in Chennai, my roommate, jaggaraju16 . He got his black pulsar on Friday evening. Hasn't ridden it yet as he plans to ride after the pooja on Sunday, though me and our other roommate have used this opportunity to cash in on experiencing the awesomeness that is 200 since we got it home .



        Also, I noticed there was one more black pulsar standing in our apartment block(manasa apartments, Anna Nagar, Chennai) on Friday evening. If by any chance you are here on xbhp, please do ping back..

        One more thing, me and my room mate are planning to go to gp road, Chennai tomorrow to buy helmets, mostly one of cross or ls2.. By reading from forums we came to know that we have to bargain for the price reduction... Any other insights/ suggestions on this regard of buying these imported helmets will be helpful, as in what all to check for authenticity of the stuff, what all certifications to look for, any particular thing related to Chennai helmet buying, and other useful info.

        Thanks in advance...

        KLN guys told me.. demand was on for Yellow.. red and black were in stock.. strange .. I will visiting weekend for the bike delivery.. by the same date as well.. so... we`ll get our beasts together.. if that`s ok.. and a mega congrats to your room mate..!!

        Helmet.. in Chennai.. Visit mount road.. bargain hardest.. I am looking for one of those off road helmets from Vega.. costing around 1300 - 1500..

          My friends 1.5 year old well maintained, Dazzler struggles to reach 100kmph. My 3 year old, 220 though with hell of a lot vibes reaches 136 even today. You win some, you loose some. But at 100kmph, 200NS is way less vibey than atleast Dazzler which I have tested.

          • @Govind.one,

            bro if you can extend budget for helmet to 2.5K, get a LS2 helmet. Its the best for the money. Looks great in NS

            Vega is just for looks. Doesn't do good in safety.

            Or at least look for Vemar helmets.

                • @Govind.one Affidavit and Flag day charges are for those owners who do not have a Ration card with them as address proof. I mean since i am a Trichy native i have only BSNL bill as address proof in Chennai. For those who do not produce ration card as address proof, the RTO registration will happen only if we put an affidavit and pay Flag Day donation. If i had got the bike from Trichy dealer then i do not need produce any affidavit + Flag day donation. Yes Jai bajaj, Adayar sales are good except for silly goof ups. They enjoy the benefit of being the main Dealer for Pulsar 200NS. They claimed that they are the ones supplying bikes from Bajaj for other dealers. Take me for example, my pre booking number was 54 and am going to get my bike tomorrow. Am actually getting it a bit late because of my choice of Blue color. Had i opted for yellow, then i would have been the very first of Pulsar 200NS owners in Chennai. ( Delivery started last Monday itself)

                    Yah.. as Shibadip said, that dirt bike ones won't help in long rides.

                    and yes LS2 has dirt bike models.

                    LS2 MX426. Though not available here. Don't know there. Check it out or order it online.

                      Try the LS2 Desperado.
                      Better than the Vega Off-Road.

                      • Me and my roommate just got ls2 helmets from pioneer scooter shop, gp road. Mine is the red one(Celtic), and his is the black one (phobia). @govind.one, my 2 cents, do check out the pioneer scooter shop at gp road. We tried both the vega and the ls2. The cushioning quality and comfort level is better in ls2. And the people at pioneer were courteous compared to rainbow helmets. Those guys were just rude. Plus it's cheaper I'm pioneer. There are actually two pioneers, one in mount road and one in gp road, and the gp road had better designs at cheaper rates..

                          • Finally the beast in my grasp took it out for a long ride in the city last night.. fell in love with it incredible acceleration.. yu jus don notice the speed gain till yu look at the speedo by which time yu've left everyone on the road behind and very comfortable cruising at 45 kmph in top gear

                            But i did experience quite a bit of heat from the radiator. It is to be expected for the engine to get hot in the heavy traffic.. but is this heat emission normal. not that it was uncomfortable . just noticeable. kindly advice.
                            thank you

                              Thanks a ton bro.. The pain of shelling more money now gone.. Seriously, thank you.. and did they give you any expected date of delivery..??
                              54th Order delivery in august.. KLN would have taken forever.. and wouldn`t have let you see you your bike before delivery!
