Ok i will think over it...

My point is whether is it needed?
what are the advantages of doing this UV protection and anti-corrosion??

is it colour fading and a bit scratch proof?

Thinking whether to go for it or not during first service so.

normal wax polish lasts 7 days... These usually lasts around a month max

Dude and what about the TEFLON coating!!!
do you think that is needed??
as of now i have not opted for it so

I don't think its very effective, but yes... its a polish and lasts for couple of weeks. I asked the dealer for some complementary stuffs and he offered so called TEFLON (worth ~ Rs.600 as per them). But after a small research i dropped his offer and demanded center stand and got it!

i feel better to buy some car shampoo and wax or polish..

Even i would have done like that only if they had released the CENTER stand when they released the bike

unfortunately not
but have convinced them on engine guard lets see wen they will get the engine guard

Wanted some info from the "older" Pulsar 200NS owners : Do you get the bike pressure washed from outside? If yes, has anybody experienced radiator fins bending due to high pressure water force? My radiator has some amount of mud lodged into the fins, was just thinking if it's a good idea to get it pressured washed?

DO NOT GO FOR PRESSURE WASH ON RADIATOR...its better you just ask the service guy to do it for you or as @Chintan said take some old toothbrush and clean it yourself and just spray water with a normal water pipe after removing the dirt from the brush..

Teflon Coating is a waste of money..its only for your own satisfaction that you have spent some money and your bike is protected now...

Its better to buy a wax polish and apply yourself on weekly basis after washing the bike..

In my opinion the digital indicator is near useless.. Somedays it comes on at 3 bars and somedays at 2.. Depends on the slope as well..

On level ground with about 5L in the tank, it showed 4-5 bars.. On the way down from a steep multi level parking exit, the orange light lit up and it showed only a single bar..

Trust the knob.. dont get too senti bout the light

One of my friend has crossed 70k kms on his bike with his stock Bajaj bore, Dont really see any problem with Bajaj if you take care of regular oil changes

yaa...I do understand your feel, basically I was talking about the old Bajaj series like the round healdlight pulsars..but everythign depends on rider and maintainence....and I told max...or should I rectify it to many pulsars from old gen..very sorry bro if i hurt ur feelings...

I completely disagree....Its just mental thing just get over it..... there's a perception created by people that if its Bajaj it will run out of steam within a few KMs......but the thing is if you maintain your bike it will last for long...

Dont agree with you dude. I am using P220 dtsi for around 3 years (30,000 KM), and it is in very good shape. Before that too I had a P150 dtsi (spoke wheel) for almost 6 years before I sold it. It too never gave me an issue. In the entire 6 years I had the bike, I had to use Kick start only once, when the battery died.
The thing is if you maintain Pulsars with proper care they are as reliable as the competitors.
Before buying my 1st Pulsar I too was anti-Bajaj. But now, I am looking for upgrades within Bajaj its all because of Pulsar and Bajaj Customer Service which is unmatched.
Before P220, I tried my hands on Karizma R for 6 months, and trust me it was a big disappointment for me.

thats great bro...guess I am the only one who have this bad notion...

but the positive thing is that after 200 NS am also a fan of Bajaj and inspiring my friend to buy it...

The regular washes and waxing.
Or at Auto service, Bangalore Mr.Venkat had some 3M car protector or scratch resistant(No Clues what's it called). The other side is its damn expensive Rs. 900 just to cover the area where your knees are rubbing against the tank. By all means, you can get the entire tank plastics replaced at slightly higher price.

Thanks for the help

Guess I will stick with normal washing for now..And I am thinking of getting reflective tape for my red NS.. which colour do you think will suit it?

To all the owners, what precautions have you taken to prevent scratches on the tank? can anyone suggest what works to maintain the shine on the glossy and the Matt parts?

try waxpol or cornilite carnauba wuax.be careful with the buffing up.
