sometimes it stops while riding as I'd compression is lost and takes some efforts to get started.

I am facing some problem with ABS. My ABS will keep on on speeds even after 20 km. When i engage clutch i could see 0 in my speedometer when ABS light is on. Recently i got it changed from Service center as per their recommendation after 2 weeks again same problem. I just completed 250 KM ride in this ride i am unable to see speed on speedometer its started showing 0 and shows some numbers which doesnt match the speed.

Dont know what could be the problem. All this started when i kept my bike alone in lockdown for 80 days without touching. please help me

Its 2019 model driven only 3450km

Hello guys, I am a new owner of a red pulsar 200ns which I got two days ago.

Ever since I got the bike I have been following the manuals method of breaking in and keeping the bike at low speeds. If I am correct the speeds indicated for the first 1000km turns out to be about less than 4k RPM in every gear. Now my question is, is it alright to occasionally go above that rpm limit? I am honestly not enjoying the bike at such low rmp, the low end feels a lot like my old xtreme, that is to say nothing special like I was expecting to blow my mind. Though the bike really comes to its own in the mid and top end above 5k rpm that's the kind of fun I want from this bike. Now at the present moment since I left my job I don't need to drive as much and will b be using it occasionally, so completing 1000-2000km at these insanely low speed and rmp is going to be a chore I feel. What do you guys suggest?

Guys, found the leakage just below the suspension. Below the nitrrox box. I heard the nitrrox box is filled with a gas, then where this liquid could be coming out from ?


Rear brake oil I doubt it .... Because the amount of oil leak is more and brakes are working perfectly

P.S.
A friend of mine who is a mechanic wanted to know if you guys who faced oil starvation had used any oil additives or used materials that leave a lot of lint to clean the oil filter cavity.

Apart from the Duke 390 and 250 all other models of the Bajaj KTM clones use the single feed oil pump. The evacuation pump or the scavenge pump is present on the D390 and the 250. I did use Liqui Moly shooter oil additive on my Duke, and it's a worthless investment to be looked for and considered for. No lint, no nothing. On most KTMs and KTM Clones, you will have metal shavings on the strainer located below the engine but that's pretty much it. Personally, we haven't come across lint or any fabric material for that matter. Though you have to proactively clean the strainer and replace the oil filter, as they do catch up quite some filth.

Has someone noticed the tiktik sound that comes from the engine of both the Pulsar NS200 and RS200? My friend bought his Pulsar NS200 in June 2019 and he had that sound from the beginning, but it was subtle and wasn’t so noticeable. My Pulsar RS200 2015 model also had that sound and upon closer inspection on January 2020, it was found that my one of my cam lobes has eroded off by upto a millimetre. The mechanic, who is well known to me said that this has happened due to high speed riding and that the engine oil can’t lubricate the cams properly at high rpm’s, although i doubt it because at high rpm, the oil pump works faster which should pump more oil. I always used Motul 7100 20w50 oil. Anyway, i trusted him as i do ride the bike extensively and also take it to the highways at least three times a month and do high speeds. They replaced the cam and now the engine sounds smooth.
Going back to my friend’s NS200, the tiktik sound was somewhat contained till February 2020, he completed 9k kms by then and stuck to Bajaj Dtsi 10000 20w50 as he wanted warranty. At 9k kms he decided to switch to the Dominar 400’s oil, that is the Bajaj Dtsi 10000 10w50 and after that the sound just kept on increasing to a point when the tiktik sound was audible more than the exhaust sound in idle and the sound increased with increase in rpms. I thought maybe the tappet clearance were out, and a simple visit to svc would solve it, so we visited svc on June 2020. We waited until the tappet clearance was done, and started the engine for test and surprisingly the sound was still there. The mechanic who worked on my bike opened the head and upon inspection, it was found that one of the cam lobes was eroded the exact same way as my RS’s. The same lobe, even the pattern and depth was exactly the same. It was really surprising to see a very well maintained bike with 11k kms on odo with an eroded camshaft. The svc guys replaced it free of cost, as the bike was still under warranty and their statement was the same. “The bike gets ridden very fast due to which oil cannot reach the cylinder head properly and lubricate it”.Upon asking if its a manufacturing defect, they are denying any. My friend rides very sedately in city and rides fast occasionally on highways, the rest of the time cruising at around 90-100km/h. My brother owns a 200NS 2013 model with 39k kms on odo amd his bike hasn’t had the issue, although the bike was ridden pretty fast. Since that time onwards, i have seen many NS200s with the same loud tiktik sound which increases upon increase in rpm and i am pretty sure that if not all, most of them have got this camshaft issue. I think that this is a manufacturing defect, and it has affected a big percentage of NS and RS200. It would be very grateful if you throw some light and maybe share your experiences if you have got any. Thanks!

I have negligible experience working on this Motorcycle but when it comes to obvious signs of oil starvation the first suspect would always be the oil pump.

Does all variants of the KTM engine come with dual oil pumps or is it limited to a few?

I'm assuming this the rainbow like discoloration you are reffering to in the below pic, and yes almost all NS with a bad tiktik knocking sound I've seen have badly scored cam bearings like below
