guys how high can the rpm be raised during the run in period???

this is what i do, diownshifting in single clutch pull, but sometimes the gear lever becomes totally free and then i have no choice but to let the next lower gear get engaged and then again downshift... whats the issue here? in my Karizma this never used to happen...

I guess I've been lucky with the "Khat" till now !! But seriously people, you won't get the "Khat" sound with this technique if things are done correctly.

The complaints i have are left thumb (indicators) and right ankle (brake - here, my riding style might be wrong)

After all the hue and cry, due to the long and saturated period of remaining bikeless, FINALLYYYYYY I got my NS yesterday evening.

Beware guys, coz a verrryyyyy long Ownership experience will be up by evening. Till then enjoy another teaser

BTW, Biswajit is the name of the dealer....


Short update No doubt on the long list of positive features of the bike, but I'm having some trouble adjusting my riding style with the bike.. however was too exited last night to make some sensible adjustments. Will try it today, and then will add it to the report. Also since I did'nt opted for teflon coating/ other polishing, so a nice bathing and polishing session is due toady..

Have lots to share and ask.... But my mind is constantly dancing on Salman's DINKACHIKA track

WARNING: the following post might be offtopic but it is of vital importance to everyone here.

I rarely post in here since the bike doesn't reach my country until at least mid 2013 but in this case I consider it necessary to post and in it is to correct you on the AFR explanation from your picture.

First I want to say is that I know I'm a newish member here and going by what I have read (the entire thread) some people in here tend to disagree or have no trust whatsoever on informational posts from newbies if you want to call us that, it is understandable though so now to the matter at hand to prevent people from messing up their AFR:

Unless the P200NS is employing an outdated carb (which I doubt) then what you have shown in the picture, i.e. clockwise for a richer AFR and counterclockwise for a leaner AFR is completely and totally WRONG, now comes the disagreement and distrust with the newbie but hold your horses fellow riders, here comes the explanation:

In older carbs the AFR screw used to be located nearer to the rear of the carb, hence towards the air filter, controlling the air intake to the venturi of the carb. For those cases what you say is TRUE since turning it clockwise will allow less air thus making the mixture richer and leaner if you turn it counterclockwise.

However in newer carbs like the mikuni UCAL in the P220 the AFR screw is located towards the front of the carb, therefore closer to the cylinder admission and hence controlling the amount of fuel in the mixture, so in these cases if you turn it clockwise you are decreasing the amount of fuel and therefore making the mixture lean, by contrary if you turn it counterclockwise you are allowing more fuel into the mixture therefore making it richer.

If your bike is cold (has been off for 6+ hours) and you turn it clockwise till it closes completely you'll notice that when you start the bike it will stall inmediately if you don't rev it, the reason being that the mixture has been made as lean as possible.

Now that being said I hope that people will not mess up their AFR by doing the wrong procedure and as a bonus I also have info about the shock preload/seat height controversy that will leave it as clear as possible for everyone but I won't post that to avoid backlash for contradicting a respected member on two topics of the same post so only if you want me to post it then I will.

Cheers, ride safe and enjoy your machines.

Feel free to share any information with us, newbie or oldie information is always beneficial, moderator never said that a newbie can't spread an information, nobody backlashes anyone, we indians are mighty cool

Coming on to the afr screw, when everyone is doing exactly opposite then how they are achieving their desire.

What information do you have about shock preload?

this is what i do, diownshifting in single clutch pull, but sometimes the gear lever becomes totally free and then i have no choice but to let the next lower gear get engaged and then again downshift... whats the issue here? in my Karizma this never used to happen...

I can hear more noise than usual ( I think from the chain )after first service. Is this normal? Can anyone clarify this?

hi friends.... i have one question please answer..... pulsar 200ns headlight power supply with battery or with it is coil power supply.....

Another variable to consider is that you in India might have a different way to define what is lean and what is rich, what we (south americans and north americans as well) call lean is a mixture where there is more air than necessary for the amount of fuel in the mixture thus making it harder for a cold engine to start without issues, in the other hand what we call rich is a mixture where there is less air than necessary for the amount of fuel in the mixture thus making it easier for a cold engine to start without issues, however when it is extremely rich the FE will drop like a fly, there will be a loss of performance when the engine is hot, carbon deposits on the cylinder, valves, spark plugs and piston as well as idling issues where the needle is not going to stay at a stable rpm rate and will hesitate to return to the normal rpm after revving the engine while a extremely lean mixture will give you kick ass FE, rev faster when hot but will most likely cause overheating and excessive wear of the prior mentioned parts of the engine.

As for the shock stiffness vs seat height I read is already been settled by the input from Rohan200NS so lets just add that the seat height is negligibly increased, it's just that a stiffer setting prevents the bike from sinking down when you sit on it, therefore giving you the impression that the height has been increased by a lot but if you measure it with a measuring tape while off the bike you'll see little to not difference in height whatsoever.

It's DC, and hence on battery.
