You don't actually need to use full clutch, just downshift normally while simultaneously giving the engine a little rev..

This is in reference to the part in bold above. Those aint false neutrals man, that's just the gearbox slotting into the actual neutral. This was happening to me too, the cure is to use a lil more pressure while shifting from 1st to 2nd.
The gearshift lever getting loose while downshifting was happening to me too, now I consciously use adequate pressure while shifting and I havent experienced this problem again either.

Thanks a ton man! I hope you get your baby soon too!

Awesome pics mate!

Thanks man! Black is a little too discreet. Bajaj paint quality has really improved, and the blue has a deep and glittery paint job! You'll love it..

The rim stripes were done by me at a stickering shop for Rs. 200/- I've always loved the way it changes the bike's looks!

Congrats man! Ride her well and share your experiences here with us..

Which bike last long ?

Hi,
I want to buy a bike which has good build quality and lasts long(as I want to keep this bike and go for car instead of buying another bike).

I am stuck in between Honda CB Unicorn and Pulsar 200 Ns (Top speed is not my concern)

Could you please mention PROs and CONs of both bikes and which bike is good for my scenerio ?

Thanks in Advance.

you geting both false neutrals as well as gear lever becoming totaly free while downshifting? I thought only i am not getting these issues here as nobody else reported them.
And awesome pics really..looks like some posters..... photoshop???

Dude even if it is getting into actual neutral, the neutral LED should glow right.....but it doesnt when the bike actually is in neutral....it does surely is an issue. Applying lil more force i have tried but then also once a while i get it.
And i din't get your sol for the lever getting free issue. Can u elaborate more?

Yes, the neutral indicator should glow, but I haven't looked at the light when it happened to me.

About the downshifting issue, I've noticed that the NS gearshift has a spring-back kind of action. What I mean is, whenever you shift a gear it clicks in and then the lever bounces back a bit. So shift with enough pressure and change to the next gear only once you've felt the return feedback from the shifter. Do this consecutively for a 6-5-4 kinda downshift.

Hi all

Till now I have completed 180 KM. Yesterday did around 90 km within 4k Rpm, overall bike is awesome but have some issues

I have removed the saree guard not needed for me.
Bought IND number plates for front & rear looks good.
Planning to remove rear mud guard as this doesn't protect well & making much more dirt & planning to modify the rear number plate holder to prevent the tail lamps getting dirt.

1) I think mileage is decent ( dint test it with standards)
2) while downshifting from 6-5-4-3 gears doesn't engage properly
3) Rear shock absorber making some noise
4) yes tool kit makes noise
5) Handling & cornering is superb.
6) Powerful engine & brakes too
7) Below the engine gets more dirt cleaning is required often.
8) while driving in city limits engine gets heated up soon, Yesterday after doing a long drive it was normal, can some times feel the hotness coming out from the front part might be the fan is running that time.
9) Silencer got hit by the speed breaker, I was almost in the 0 speed ( so be careful for the next time)

These are the points I have noted in 5 days
Honey bee came & sat on my Bumble Bee while driving

LED doesnt glow ,i am sure , u can also check next time....

Ok i got it...but while this 6-5-4 downshifting u have pulled the clutch constinuosly right(like how u downshift in case of emergency braking,continuosly)? Or u let the next lower gear click in and then downshift to next lower one(if this then its not the scenario which i mentioned)?

Which Bike lasts long among Pulsar 200NS and Honda CB Unicorn

It's like comparing Chalk and Cheese. 150CC Vs 200, 23.5 Ps bike? If you are not really bothered about performance, then look for a 150CC bike. Post your query in "What Bike section". This is the wrong thread.

Yes, it's not exacly flase neutral, but sometimes bike is stuck gearless. Also, sometime while shifting, the gears refuses to shift, it's just stuck in the previous gear till the time I blip the throtle and leave the clutch and then again depress it!

Does anybody else has this issue?

And BTW those are HDR images, that's the HDR effect!

There is no doubt that the speedometer is faulty or there might be some loose connections which I m not sure.
I hope you have got it checked from the svc guys... if not, then please go and get it checked...

It all depends on what purpose you want it for bro.. For Commuting, I would recommend CB Unicorn.. Especially if you use it with a pillion often..!!

If you are one of those who wouldn`t crib about mileage, and just Looove bikes.. and can afford maintainability.. love cornering, need a power spitting bike.. which is balanced and polished.. then P200NS is your go!!

I would suggest you to post this in What Bike? to get better replies!

I didn`t silencer hit by speed breaker when I drove over a couple.. looks like a bad one there.. and seriously wow pictures .. One bee found the other one eh

thanks a ton @neoakshay... loved the review.. and your info on engine breaking in helped loads as well.. thanks bro *respect*

Yes day one saw the Ns silencer I knew it will hit the speed breaker.... Ha ha Honey bee on Bumble bee

in my case mYbe its the rear brake bedding in

[QUOTE=neoakshay;849323

Thanks man, glad you're enjoying your ride! I haven't faced the issue you're talking about, I think I'm hearing some sounds from the chain. I think it needs some lubing.

Don't worry about the sound from the brakes, the pad need to bed in properly, and till that happens you'll experience weird scraping sounds. This might get louder if dirt gets trapped between the pads and disk too, so ensure you spray water here during your bike wash.[/QUOTE]


I will give my rear disc a thourough clean up and check out.
Appreciate the help.
Thanks :-)

I too have the exact problem while downshifting mate. I thought after changing oil during first service it'll get resolved or i should ask the svc to check it.

thanks man.... maybe 15 days left to see the bike in kolkata showrooms...
Btw rim tapes for rs 200? Thats complete rip-off man... Here it costs around 50-70 bucks... My bro got his for 35 bucks

Yes, I'm talking about shifting continuously from 6-5-4 with the clutch pulled just once. I blip the throttle before I shift each gear tho.

Thanks for the compliments! I'm glad I could be of help to you guys!

Everything is costlier by a good margin in Bangalore man.. The cheapest I've found rim tapes is 150 bucks. Are you sure you can get the reflective type for 50-70 bucks?
