  • @Shiba : Yes it looks like 135LS from Back minus Rear Hugger.

    Now, while spotting the NS from back, did it in anyway looked like a 135LS, which many NS haters keep complaining about??
    Give ur honest opinion
    @Rohan : Senior Mechanic at service centre told you need 1.4ltrs.

    @arghadeepdas : Please read owners manual

    So, finally brought the red lady home (the first one to come home from showroom in Gurgaon actually)!!

    I must admit that it was quite an eventful first ride for a brand new motorcycle, with the exhaust going under rain water, mud off roading, zipping through heavily conjested traffic and last but not the least, tarmac as wet as it can be, all in the first ride from showroom to home

    First impressions, well, can't say much, because this is a new genome and genetics analysis do take time, one or two rides do not tell you anything, specially for a motorcycle which is trying to carve a niche!! But at the same there were a few things which I noticed like -

    1) The motorcycle is boringly stable at city speeds. My previous Pulsar 200 made me work on it to make it go the way I wanted, and that taught me a lot of things. It was just brute force from the word go. The NS on the other at or below 4k rpms is so damn stable that it almost gave the feeling that I'm riding a CD Dawn, just much more powerful.

    2) Since the brakes and the rubber are also breaking in, I played with them accordingly, and I didn't had an single nervous moment, even while I just guiding through mud and fully soaked tarmac.

    3) The horn is a shame and there's no qualms about it.

    We have to understand that a new motorcycle off the block is like a child being born and like every little child has early glitches and slowly the chlid comes into it's own, so is the case with motorcycles. So, there's no point jumping the gun on negetives.. as it doesn't make much sense.

      Also thinking of getting DUKE's indicators (front & rear - both sides) onto NS as those are LEDs.

      Please comment & advice...
      I have changed to RED coloured LEDs, they are very easy to change. I will be upgrading to HIDs soon as well.

      And I had also thought about putting the Duke's indicator's, but thehy do cost a lot. Alternatively one can install LEDs directly in NS's indicators.

      3100 is about 323 bucks per litre. And NS takes 1.2ltre during normal oil changes.

              Whattt
              When did u call???

              I always had respected bajaj, but now the patience is seriously crossing the limits...
              What the hell are they thinking?? We will also have to pay the same price, what others are paying..

              and the frustration increases manifold when the customer care & the dealers gives such shitty replies..
              It has been more than six months since the bike was unveiled, and more than two months sincee the bike was first launched in Pune.

              BTW, does ur quote to @rahul also suggest that we have to wait further.
              Coz i better believe u than believing those ass**** dealers

                  God please have some mercy on people (read bike enthusiasts and art lovers) in West Bengal...starting with Kolkata....and give the people at BAL some sense of appreciation of someone's emotions and a little bit of pity so that they get to know what we are going through to get this bike in our hands.
                  How helpless and desperate we feel to hear everyone say "Getting my bumblebee today", "getting my beast tomorrow", "Its a the best"!!

                  Don't believe them...they're a bunch of liars. And don't be surprised if they say that Chintan got his bike from their showroom.

                    Guys write a mail to [email protected] for a proper response. The reply will be precise and quick.

                    I had a nice experience with the bajaj customer care. I have made the full payment on july 26th , but there was no communication from the dealer , every two days i only called n inquired about the bike, n got some very rude responses as : sir who said 10-14 days.. its minimum 20 WORKING days etc etc..
                    I wrote a mail to bajaj customer care on Aug 7 , and on Aug 8 my dealer called me for the first time since i made the booking.. he apologized for the inconsiderate behavior of his executives and promised to deliver the bike by tuesday i.e. 14th Aug.
                    ATGATT! There are many wonderful riders/drivers out there who would intrude in your riding space without any notice. Be prepared. Stay Safe.

                      I share the exact same feeling as u, buddy..This feeling of helplessnes makes me all the more frustrated.
                      [email protected] has this common sentence of the bike coming next week. @myth has already made booking here, and the dealer keeps repeating him the "next week story" right from Feb.
                      I too asked him on July end, and he said the bike wud enter by Aug 1st week, and thus make the advance booking. I replied that I wont make a booking unless he gurantees a date that the bike will arrive. He then tells that the bike will sure enter by Aug 2nd week.
                      but i somehow still dont believe him.

                            I got the reply in roundabout 2 working days.
                            Looks like BAL going to get quite a few mail from Kolkata today..
                            Hope it puts some sense to their head.

                            @every NS interested Kolkatan - If you are writing a mail, please do write that the dealers are always giving mis-information, and are more keen on getting the advance booking

                              • rear disc update

                                Gave my bike for first service
                                total cost was 775
                                did not get the centre stand at kalyani bajaj,mekhri circle(out of stock)

                                regarding the noise from rear disc brakes, they have reported the issue to bajaj saying that P200 NS uses closed calipers which should be replaced with P220 's open calipers which will resolve the issue.
                                If bajaj agrees they will change it for all 200 NS bikes for free

                                However, service was ok-ok.
                                they have increased the idling to 1700 rpm which after depressing the clutch becomes 2200 rpm(the choke is off i checked).
                                Also, the brakes have lost their bite.
                                maybe will have to go again
